Closed West Brom 3-0 Chelsea

[CMS 382]

I know its a meaningless game, Coutois does not inspire confidence like Petr did at the same age. We need to find a way to keep Petr.

Cesc showed why he is top of the assist charts there, absolute pinpoint accuracy.

Disappointed that more youngsters did not start (at least Ake for example...).

Don't really care about the result to be honest, it has no bearing.

[stroey 2,525]

We got a guard of honor in a game what was irrelevant for both teams, yet we received a red card and will miss our keyplayer for next season. This sucks, what supposed to be a game for youngsters ended in this.

Playing Diego has its risks, we benefited from it more of than not, so no problem.

The fans were amazing, Mou in the end was top class, how can you not love him?

Don't really care about the result, hopefully we can appeal and win it. But since we're Chelsea they will just ban Cesc 3 matches at least.

dont think i have ever been more chilled after a 3-0 defeat.

RLC looks the real deal, im sure he only miss placed one pass. with cesc out Sunday i hope Izzy starts on the wing.

[Special Juan 27,429]

No win, no problem. Delighted to see Costa back and being a proper messy bastard again.

Bring on Sunday when we lift the cup and this game will be a distant memory.

[Special Juan 27,429]

ok moron

Less of that please or a warning is on it's way.

I'm glad the bed wetters have stayed away, we've won a double ffs! :blue scalf:

Anyone who seems to think RLC had a bad game needs to slap themselves hard. He was impressive and it was made tougher for him when we were reduced to 10 men but still held his own. Even the commentators where very impressed with him yesterday and continuously praised him. You can see he is the Mourinho type of player. Physically imposing, can play and we will see that more with time when he gets used to first team football and is all round game is good. I don't see how people can criticize him. I can't wait to see more of him next season. Has the perfect traits to develop here and actually be one of the next academy graduates to become a regular in the first team.

If Gary Cahill is our starting CB next season, we won't win the league again :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Name a better defence in the league..I challenge you to

[cosmicway 1,326]

Forget after the 2-0, but it looked like we needed approx. 1 - 1 1/2 century to score a goal.
Willian's absence was obvious - the little man is instrumental in opening defenses and Diego Costa looked like he needed this match.
I believe WBA were incredibly lucky and they have indeed managed to become the instrument of Chelsea's heaviest defeat this season.

The referee was a clown. First WBA defenders grab Diego Costa like wrestling match, Hulk Hogan v. rest of the world. He yellowcards Costa for it ! Subsequently did Cesc hurt them that much with that ball ? Then how do they play soccer in a first division team ?

Loftus Cheek looks the part for me.

Anyone got a link to the full match online?

I was at the match yesterday and I just want to see how we came across on the tv.

Cheers

So this is what it feels like to have all the possession...

Even though this game had nothing riding on it, glad that the Raheem Sterling story came out as soon as this match was over. Nobody is talking about this defeat!

[Muzchap 8,966]

Anyone got a clip of Cesc's red card?

[Starman60 1,343]

I think we should try and get Diego a fight against Floyd Mayweather. He seems to enjoy the fighting more than the football lately

Kolo Toure-Lovren. However Blackett-McNair comes close too.

Seriously, I think our defense is fine for PL for at least one more season, but in CL we wont get far with such passive defense.

Two years ago, United bought RVP despite they had many strikers and needed to strenghten other areas. But they only brought RVP and he won them the league. Thats why sometimes, someone like Yaya Toure (just throwing example) could give us more than several star players.
