[Steve 10,227]

It was a great finish by ballack just before half time.

Another corner to us.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

BRILLIANT goal, absolutely cracking goal.

[Steve 10,227]

Halftime

1-1

I was vey annoyed that we hadnt scored but now that we are 1-1, i think we can win this comfortablly if southend tire becase we have been all over them this half.

[PaulHopkins 1]

Yay lovely goal by Ballack and we desevre to go into the break level if not ahead! I think we will win 4-1 in the end.

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Southend have been defending as though they'll be shot by Bolsheviks if they lose...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Can I also say that if it wasn't for Cech, we wouldn't have scored that goal. MAGNIFICENT save.

Hmmmmmm......So bloody frustrating to watch.

I'm just glad we scored when we did. Had we went in at half time 1-0 down I really think we'd have struggled to get back into it. Bosingwa has the beating of their left back and he continues to cut inside. When he did decide to go past him he put in some dangerous balls. We need to get out wide and make their defenders face the goal.

Thier intent on getting everyone behind the ball so it going to be another frustrating 45 minutes.

WTF was Alex doing when they scored. He should have atacked the ball and put it out of harms way. Shocking defending.

Another Set Piece, Anelka was made look like a tit. Great goal from Ballack, about time he put one in, he missed a few this have. You can't help but laugh at the "Sacked in the Morning" chants. Kalou and J Cole to bag goals this half! Come on Chelsea!

[EskWeston 696]

This game by no means in the bag. Attitude is much better though in this game. We need to get Kalou on the ball who looks a threat when able to run at the defenders. Still no men on the bloody posts though, can't believe it is still going on, a man on the backpost easily clears their goal off the line!!!!

If Southend are going to still sit so deep and make it hard for us we need Di Santo on the pitch to win some knockdowns because Anelka is not the man for that, play them both up top and give southend something to worry about.

[Laylabelle 9,402]

Up till the goal it was BOLLOCKS!!Another set piece you could see it coming and bleh.

Thank fuck for Cech

Now hopfully this spur us on none of this sudden second half being shit and loosing/drawing till it goes to pens and screws up.So please dont give the same talk you did aginast Man you!! Esp if its due to a goal from a set piece!!

Southend every time they'e gone near the goal have looked like scoring so hjopfully...stick someone on the post!!!

And keep trying!Stop shooting in the air for crying out loud!!

Considering we look to be sitting 3rd after tonight we need happy news

And yeh ehard about the game almost being called off but prob cause it was on tv that helped changed their minds a bit

Kenyon bleh he looked so hard like he was trying not to grin!!

I have to say that that was a very good first half performance. Shit goal to concede, but its still an excellent response. Not vintage, but nonetheless excellent.
