Closed Chelsea 1-0 Swansea

[bushman 2,043]

How about can Chelsea score & be on top of the PL ?

Are they good enough to be on top ? As far as I am concerned, they are not.

Is Jose correct in his methods of playing ?

Two games come to my mind against the so called top teams. Manures & Arsenal at least in the last 15 minutes here.

Had he not played for the draw, Chelsea lost points then, most likely Chelsea is 8-10 points off the top place.

Now, he is blamed for playing " boring draws. " I say quite the opposite, even I do not like to see Chelsea playing defensively, but Jose has no choice, I feel.

Strikers are not scoring, missing clear chances, therefore, Jose has no trust in the team to open the game up, I feel.

To play an open game against Liverpool would be suicidal, I feel. Boys get ready for one fucking boring game again.

We're a striker away from running away with the league.

Why do people always make this "black and white" statement to make football seem so simplistic. How come Man city who boast, not only the best squad in the league but also the most impressive collection of strikers haven't run away with the league?

Buy a world class/very good striker and it's game over for others, only if it was that simple.

[lionsden 4,689]

Ramires and Ivanovic + our strikers do their best every game to kill our attacks.

Either Ivanovic gets the ball every time and does nothing, or Ramires gets the ball and never passes to anyone, or our strikers miss. Same shit, every fucking week, it's disgusting.

Happy with the win though, much maligned Mazacar were very good.

And that right there is Einstein's definition of insanity.

with half a decent striker we would have lead by 3 goals at half time. We would have still been in the carling cup if eto scored a sitter to put us 2-0 up. He has a point, we would have an extra 8-10 points in the league with some winning goals by a proper striker

We missing a striker. It is a fact. We can get a goals from midfield etc. but even that, striker is the one the closest to a goal and we missing too many chances in our games, we need a striker who can convert a chances to a goals.

Jose came out start of season kinda saying that he didnt expect to win premeirship this season but maybe nxt season to be competing for it ,but he didnt think come xmas time that Cfc would out of title race...boom..Jose has come across as a chelsea supporter and so feels and sees most things that is wrong with our club...or deffo he will get sacked again!!!So if we finish 2/3 this season and win Fa cup,1/4 or 1/2 semis euro everything else will be bonus...ktf

We should have annihilated the wingless swans, instead it was an exercise in frustration. I hope that striker is being shipped in soon.

WHOEVER VOTED FOR ETOO HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME !!!!

Another poor performance Etoo is probably worst striker in the PL. we got the 3 points that's all that matters.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Eto'o did nearly everything right except score

[blu35_army 551]

imagine we have "Passing Power" like swansea did + Techinal ability from our player,,it's make me orgasm...

[The Mak 4,459]

For some reason, I just felt like MVG would've been great to have for this game. Probably because of the intense fixture build-up. Even a semi-confident KDB in a 3-man midfield, but alas...

[Reddish-Blue 2,509]

A win is a win...but seriously, the lack of killer instinct might cost us the title.

[Blue Warrior 109]

January might save us from are goal draught. lets keep fighting till the day is done.

[Thistle 77]

At least Eto is in the right places and creates those chances unlike Torres who struggles to do it once in a game.

[ZOS 580]

not happy at all, aside from the 3 points we had nothing going our way.. our midfield was shit, our striker was eto'o, mou took a big risk by taking off mazacar, we had only 45% possession and ramires got a yellow .. for me, all these nullified the 3 points we got

[the Blues 11 19]

Can we just pay Eto'o to go away? He wasn't good for like the umpteenth time, it's so frustrating. Mazacar was very good and worked very hard. I hated the yellow Rami got, it will hurt us against 'pool. You can see that Jose is beside himself wondering how to get more goals.

This, at-least if all else fails with him he gets the basics right, unlike the £50m one.

both shit in my opinion.

[Tomo 21,751]

both shit in my opinion.

Neither are good enough anymore to lead the line in a team with designs to win the league, so it's about the lesser of the two evils.

We're always crap at Christmas.This time so far however we're still getting somewhere.
