People prasing Kalou today

[Kostas 1,468]

He is our player and does he deserves to be called idiot, moron and something else?

You have the right to criticize his gameplay. But is he a fucking idiot if he fucks something?

That's exactly my point,people get butthurt cause he's wearing Blue,I'm sure most here would be laughing at him if he was playing for United or the scum.

I'm all for supporting our players but let's not get ridiculous,he's not going to turn brilliant overnight or develop into the next Drogba.

Your right, hes not going to turn brilliant over night. But he keeps improving every game and that's all we can ask for. From a player who gets roughly 15 minutes a game can you honestly expect much more? If Carlo believes he in the right choice for the squad then so be it.

[Kostas 1,468]

I don't question his (slight) improvement but I'm not surprised he's not a fan favorite after being utterly shit for the biggest part of the 4 years he has been playing for Chelsea.

If some feel the need to be Bluer than thy then I'd recommend them defending Ferreira who has been a terrific servant of the club since he came and was Mr.Consistent only a few years ago

IMO the people who don't rate Kalou know very little about football.

Little correction, he is fan favourite now, our Mr. Greatest Substitute Ever. The problem with him is that he may be a good substitute but if he uses one of these 25 slots he should also be able to play 90 minutes on good/high level.

Lol at this statement.

[Shane 2,275]

I'm not going to get into any personal insults with anyone because I'm here to talk about football, If your into that you can find TX on some hiphop site. Kalou was getting criticized hear last last, about midway through, I was one of them, But then he turned it around, and people began to realise that he is a good player. Did very well at the end of last season. But then in preseason after NOT playing a game since then, He started being criticized again, On another football forum I'm on the thread was underrated players, Some guy posted Kalou, saying he seems to score almost every time he comes on for Chelsea, His goalscorering record for a sub is fantastic. People saying he is only good enough for a midtable club are just stupid, Kalou has the potential to become a big part of Chelsea F.C, People also said that Kakuta was ALREADY better then him, The same Kakuta who was average for the reserves last season against Kalou who scored a hattrick in a crucial game we needed to win to win the league. Maybe he was inconsistent but, I think he has got consistent now, Consistently good.

At the end of the day, no matter who the player is, you should be backing him 100%. That's what proper fans do. When a player is playing with confidence because of the support he has from his fans, he plays brilliantly. Look at Drogba - he was booed in his second season, but the boo-boys were quick to wipe his backside when he single-handedly won us two competitions and kept us in the Premier League title race in 2006/07. And look at him now - he is the best striker on the planet. Maybe showing similar faith in Kalou can see him progress and mature into an even more valuable asset.

Agree with you 100%. I mean, I'm not naming anyone here, but a majority of 'glory hunters' only slag off the players they think don't stand out, whereas with the other squad players that do perform well, they brag about how good they are. Real Supporters back every player in the squad 100% however bad they've played, or however little they are contributing to the team. At the end of the day, it's them that are getting a hefty wage every week, and it's them, that wear the blue shirt week in week out to try and make the club successful.

[Kostas 1,468]

Stas shouldn't be even brought to this debate,the Community Shield game against the Mancs was a fine example of how stats give Kalou too much credit.He was one of our worst players on the pitch with only Ashley Cole and JT being worse,he got a goal that Sturridge created and was literally a waste of space for the rest of the match.

And "realising" that he's a "great" player after 4 weeks of good(or even great) football is just wrong,you know what they say about a broken clock

He did the same with his hat-trick against Stoke, just easy tap-ins yet people tend to say "Oh yeah, but he was there, you have to have a skill and good positioning etc. etc.". I don't understand whole "He is blue, support him". So should we be like stupid dummies without our own opinions and when team loses just say "oh well, shit happenes"? The club makes a great profit from us, fans, and I feel like I can have my personal opinion because I spend money on shirts and other stuff from Chelsea and part of this goes for paying player's wages.

if they had supported the blues in the 70s they wouldnt be calling any of our present players rubbish ,,,at times we had no one in an international squad,,,now including u21s we have 2 full teams of internationals ....incidentally drog not in ivory coast squad but kalou is ...ironic

A goal is a goal. If he taps in one for the win at Wembley on 28 May, are you going to say no it is only a tap in.

Probably you, Kostas, Badboy and others wouldn't celebrate, because Kalou just tapped one in.

I remember many were also slaging Anelka in pre-season, like what is he doing "is he thinking that he is our playmaker" and... When season started you praised Anelkas performances.

First of all that's technically impossible for me and I've cheered for players that made Kalou look like Cruyff but I'm having a hard time calling him great when he's playing alongside Drogba and Anelka.

Probably you, Kostas, Badboy and others wouldn't celebrate, because Kalou just tapped one in.

I beg your fucking pardon?!

I'd celebrate a Chelsea goal even if Lucifer himself scored it.

People resorting to name calling and taking the Bluer than thy route makes their lack of arguments evident.

I'm not saying that this goal is not a goal but you guys praise Kalou like he did something great and he played shite whole match and had an easy tap-in and than you come up with stats and say that he scores in like every 2 or 3 matches.

Yes I was the one who said that Anelka is "fucking everywhere" and that "I can't wait to see him in goalie" but if you looked at other posts I also said that I don't imagine Anelka without Drogba because Anelka drops so deep because he knows that he has Drogba in front. That's why I was slagging him off because in that particular match he was supposed to play as our main striker not dropping deep and switching wings like he did that match.

Exactly, someone doesn't have an argument, he goes with "he is Blue support him"

[Peace. 4,352]

The "Kalou's fans" seem to don't understand...

When someone say "to me Kalou is not good enough", he doesn't mean "Kalou is a fucking bastard, i hate him !". See what i mean ?

You can love a player and say "he is not good enough for my team", no ?

And when you say about a player "he's not good enough to play for Chelsea", it does not forbid you to like him and be happy when he score.

[eldo 868]

Who said that Kalou is great. I thought that we are not like scousers, who compare Cole to Messi, we all agreed that he can put a good performance when he is at it. He is an useful player, who can also play bad sometimes. I also sometimes criticize his decision making, that is his main problem, he sometimes complicates things for himself.

Manuf and Kostas the only one who said that Kalou is "great" is ShaneCFC, who probably doesn't like you your comments and probably is answering you in this fashion.

Kalou is good enough for Chelsea, there are more reasons why he doesn't look good enough for you.
