TylerCFC 7 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 any Chelsea fan who is ignoring this kid, and instead focusing on other shit needs a brain check.. this is the player we've been waiting for as supporters.I agree absolutely brilliant lad. Hopefully Mikel will help keep his spirits up if he ends up getting banned for four months. Glad to see that Ancelotti is willing to give the kids some chances. Maybe he'll get a start during the ACON? I also agree with what Terminator X said earlier. If this was Barca, Milan, or some Brazilian club people wouldn't stop talking.

EskWeston 696 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 This match was very enjoyable for so many reasons. Firstly to get the excellent result whilst missing Bosingwa, Carvalho, Lampard, Ballack, Deco & Drogba is such good news for us. Secondly the performance was top class, the passing was crisp and the movement was brilliant, we have seen this more an more this season, Carlo is really getting the best out of us.Essien was just a beast, when you see him put in performances like that it just reaffirms the belief that he is without doubt one of the best midfielders in the world.And the iceing on the cake was 3 youngsters comming off the bench. Kakuta has finally shown what he can do for the first team, pure class. Matic came in and looked very solid, his style very similar to Ballack - he is improving all the time. And Borini came on again and did very well, his hold up play standing up to Premiership tests...Have to give Carlo 5 stars so far, not only are we playing some brilliant football but he is finally giving the young lads a chance - Hutchinson, Sturridge, Bruma, Borini, Matic and Kakuta all making first team appearances is brilliant to see, but they are also looking the part when comming on...
