Closed Roma 1-2 Chelsea

[Milan 17,854]

Ahhh, this is soooo Frank!

LOL at Schwarzer's mistake. I've done that before so I can sympathise completely!

Hazard

The only match recordings I found were in French or arabic.

Any English ones?

[NishC300 1,865]

Saw the highlights cos the recordings weren't good!

What a goal by Frank! I thought he'd pass from that range.

And what got into Mikel? That outside of the boot pass to set up De Bruyune's cross. And then drifted ball over the defender's heads to Torres. Wow Incredible. Did he have a good game?

How was Van Ginkel?

Tell that c*nt to get his dirty hands off our Juan!

[Hutcho 8,443]

Wasn't able to see the game but good comeback from the lads. And a great goal from lamps.

I actually stayed up to watch this. Didn't catch the mistake from Schwarzer, but I did see Lampard and Lukaku's goals!

Lukaku HAS to be our frontman this season, if Rooney ends up a no go!

Two top players taking a pic together! Nothing wrong with that..

As for Totti, I really like his aggressive play (as long as he doesn't injure any Chelsea players).

[didierforever 7,349]

Why?

because he simply does not celebrate. their is no literally no reaction from him. he is just walking back onto the pitch.

Dirtiest player in the entire Serie A. Absolutely no sportsmanship and a grade A cunt. Wouldn't want him anywhere near my team.

in the first 20 min i see defo a difference in Mikels play he did work much more then his nonchallante uninterested self he was over last 2 seasons... he tackled he did run he intercepted and made some quick passes...

Essine slowed (despite that one vintage run in the first 2 mins) the game much more... so don't understand what ppl said about him... he even pressed at the oppositions box... I feel Mou will get something out of him... but its still in the balance what happens...

from 15 mins on we were sloppy in our passing in the front three... really bad...

[chrismada9 1,948]

What really annoys me, is that some people last season were saying that loaning Essien out was one of the worst things we could have done, and they were all wishing he was there during our bad run under Benitez, saying "if we had Essien, we wouldn't be leaking so many goals!"

Essien has played a couple of games during pre-season, and now they're all saying he's useless. FFS it's pre-season... none of this shit matters according to Mourinho.

Let's watch Essien in the first few matches of the season, and then decide! He might be 30, but Essien has been here a long time and could prove to be a very useful utility player... it's not often we have a player who can play multiple positions.

Mourinho knows him well, and he'll know what to do with him.

^ if we decide not to sign a proper DM because of Essien, than mourinho is deluded. clearly the position where we need a world-class signing the most. but mourinho thinks that mikel, essien, lampard, MVG and rambo are enough

[Spenzy2010 8]

So much better from the lads... Can't wait for the hull match already.

[Arief 40]

No more essien & mikel combination for the pivot, its just way too slow.

I guess for this moment, the best choice for our pivot is ramires and MvG. Just like a yin-yang, fills each other perfectly

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Shirley Schurrle was shockingly awful. Can't dribble can't pass can't defense and very poor first touch except a decent shot and a decent set piece.

He needs to put his acts together quick otherwise his pecking order will be even under Moses.
