Love how AVB subbed him after 35 minutes. At least one manager we've had knows he's absolute shit.

So why did he start him? Not Kalou's fault AVB started him.

I don't think Kalou should be anywhere near the starting XI but perhaps we cut the guy some slack. Hopefully his agent is looking for a club.

I was watching the game alone and like most I was muttering about Kalou. My resident expert/daughter sat down later in the afternoon and watched the game by herself. I came in the room a few minutes before Kalou got subbed and she knew he was going to be subbed. I asked her if she thought he should have been subbed and she said "he wasn't the only one playing like sh*t".

I was thinking back to one of her youth coaches who was a raving lunatic. During one game he started pulling girls out because they were playing horribly. They ended up playing 8 v 11 (and they had 8 girls sitting on the bench) because he was so pissed off. I know you can't do that at this level but can you imagine who would have been left playing after the first half.

Back to Kalou, she said "what the hell is on his head, he should be subbed for that stupid thing".

Rumors are surfacing this could be Kalou's last weekend w/ the Club. I did like his effort & there was times that he was absolutely brilliant. I know there are thousands of Chelsea fans that hate him, but I won't be one of them. I hope Kalou can come on in this match score one & put his hand over his face like he always does. It would be poetic justice.

You know I've always liked Kalou I've always considered him as the closest thing we've got to a tricky winger on top of which he seems to be kind of the class clown in the changing rooms and he seems like a genuinely nice bloke and he scores some vital goals look at the Tottenham game last season, but he just doesn't have the kind of return you'd expect from a winger playing for a world class team, sometimes he seems a bit lost up the pitch If he tried to get past the fullbacks a little more often then I'd be happier.

But as long as he's willing to play a bit part role as a kind of super sub i suppose, then I welcome him to stay but starting him in the front 3 is noooooot the best Idea hes just not a natural finisher he chips in with assists but hes no playmaker hes kind of a jack of all trades but I wouldn't give him starting berth personally.

Hope it happens, need to get rid of a couple players before the window ends.

And he of course is top of the list.

I always thought that Malouda and Anelka should leave before him, mainly due to age and the fact that he's an okay sub, I remember many games when he came on and had a good impact on the game. (2008 vs manchester at stamford bridge he came on late in the game and scored the equalizer). He just stinks when he starts the games.

Even the substitutes appearances of Kalou are overrated, yes he did manage to make the difference because he is smart in the box, he knows where to be at the right time... Malouda and Anelka are so more usefull in building the goals (and scoring of course). I can't imagine where we would be right now if Anelka wasn't there for 3 years either that Malouda.

Kalou scores sometimes coming from the bench, but although he is a great guy who gives 100% on the pitch he is limited... Yes he is a central support striker but there is a reason why he was put on the wing, like Joe Cole it's because they can't really perform without making that much crap choices and loose that much opportunities

He is 60k/week, AS MUCH AS Modric (60~65), he is free next summer and I don't want the club to extend his contract or let him free whereas we can find a Bundesliga club who can put around 8m on the table now

Fair enough. I agree.
