Marseille vs Chelsea

[RX8 40]

Josh McEachran stats:

• 87% pass completion compared to a combined 71% from the rest of his team-mates.
• an astounding 97% (31 of 32) over UEFA's defined 'medium' passing distance.

I think this says it all ... The difference between playing to win and not feel like it

I do not think I'm lost, players are not giving the maximum. In fact only the young are giving their maximum.

I still think Anchelotti is not entirely to blame all this, but I believe he failed to make the players react. He is to Soft with them

For like 3 years I have noticed that in these times players fell on their performance, it's like the Christmas distract them.

I am very disappointed, especially Drogba in the last 2 months I have been reading and said to be in their best despite the age, but the court does not look it, is like looking Scoles or Giggs ... . the team needed him in particular that Terry and Lampard are injured.

But I can not blame just him, a lot are very low level ... and can not be all to be at the same time.

How frustrating ... I wish I could say a few words for 1 min is all I need ...

Reporter to JT: What about the Monday's team meeting in the dressing room?

JT: I must have missed that. There was no team talk at all.

Well that Explain even more why we keep playing like crap---

[Kostas 1,468]

Hey at least we're STILL top of the lea.. oh snap!

Nevermind...

[Shane 2,275]

We're falling apart.

Josh was our only decent player, Drogba seemed more interested in the Marsielle fans then he did the match, I hope he fucks off in the summer, Nothing like what he was last season, and without a decent frontman were fucked.

Just finished watching on delay here in the States. Wow. That was just one more ugly performance in a long string with no end in sight. There was one thing I enjoyed about the game though - the camera focusing in on Kalou's bare rear end while he was getting up after the penalty no-call. Kalou's ass is MOTM for me

[Clevemayer 764]

sry, but carlo has no balls, or he really dont trusts in any young player so ffs sala, kakuta, mellis and bruma just get away from chelsea as far as you can, you will get playingtime anywhere, despite here...

i don't know what carlito was thinking when he was selecting the team...

Is this the Ramires all of us saw at the WC and most of the fans thought would show mikel what a DM should look like (not me, i always was seeing Mikels Talent and his gift and what he gave to the team when he was playing)?

this twat was catched by the course of the seven, just look how the marseille players where bodychecking him like a ping pong ball, he was looking like a little boy, giveing away every sideway pass and couldnt find any pass you would call a killer-pass, he is pure shit for 5 games now and still ppl say, we should give him time to grow into the EPL, all nice and good, but malouda wasnt playing for the most of the time when he was shit, so should ramires, whats the point playing a player whos clearly not ready?

Bane wasnt playing for the first 7 month at all and look what a player he is now.

I can't see a single THING Ramires gives to us, Jacopo Sala, Mellis or Kakuta wouldn't give to us, boy know you can see why i was praying for Cork to stay, he would be so good in this position, he is a leader, a fighter, hes someone like Terry, he leads by example we need someone like him so desperately... look how often he rescues burnley and now they want to buy him, a player rated at 10 000 000 Pounds out of our own academy, probably sold for 2 and a half to burnley in the championchip, even the sky-scout was surprised when he first saw him... you get the feeling our scouts ar blind and stupid, dont you?

Iss Essien afraid of beeing booked again? I have the feeling he isnt on the field at all, he nowhere looks like the bison he is, no determination, no willingness no power looks like he want to be anywhere but not on the field...

WTF is going on with Drogba? He looks more like the Drogs of 2004/05 than the Drogs of 2007/08 or 2009/2010 what a puffy, I don't want gay ppl to get this wrong, but he looks like a gay doll and isn't anymore the ram he used to be to just destroy defences.

Anelka looks like he wants to be a defender, dropping deep in our own half this is ridiculus and he wants to play a streetball match where all is about holding the ball and getting around opposite players, even if hes in the wide areas and gets the ball he runs back to the midfield despite crossing, he cant get a decent ball to Drogba or malouda, and finishes from positions where not even i would try to shoot...

Malouda, boy whats on with you? your play was known for your determination and you're physical power, you where getting around defenders, not by any technique at all, but by you're pure will you luck like a sissi compared to the malouda i know, you cant even stop the ball

Kaloules... get some shooting training with the reserves, maybe you'll hit the goal, even Mikel would hit the target from the positions you waste... by the way, who the fuck is thinking you're a starter? you're a fucking great substitution, but no way you're a starter...

Ferreira... boy a great lad and a super mate to have around, I'm sure of that, but WTF is carlo thinking to start Ferreira on the right and bos on the LEFT despite vAanholt on the bench? are you fucking kidding me? no wait I'm sure Carlo would say: "Aieeh saw somedingeh in da draininge...", yeah, sure you did carlo, sure...

I give a shit about you players KTBFFH....

STILL WEARING MY SHIRT.... AND OTHERWISE THEN YOU I WEAR IT WITH PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I really like Kalou. His determination on the pitch is next-to-none. Sometimes I think he's trying harder than Drogba. If only he could improve his all round technique and pace he'd truly deserve to be a 1st team starter. Until then I don't mind him playing the "impact sub" role

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Agreed LDN, that's the thing I like about Kalou - he never gives up and puts in a bigger shift than any one else out there.

[Milan 17,881]

Hey at least we're STILL top of the lea.. oh snap!

Nevermind...

THIS 'top of the table' is completely different. The knock-out comes in February and I believe by that time our form won't be so pathetic. Thank God for that.

:goodpost:

so many good points ...

essien and drog are our big players with lamps missing ...essien has missed games thro a stupid tackle leading to the ban and then an injury.#

in the 2 games he has been back he has been invisible...drog back to his very worst...

our midfield where we always looked to dominate is extremely fragile ...this puts pressure on the defence and cuts out the supply to the front players.

agree get Cork back ,,he is a fighter and thats what our midfield needs now...Josh cant do it all on his own

[Laylabelle 9,420]

There is just no confidence out there,mean the ones that we missed a few months ago would've been definate goals!!

Ones thing proven last night that has been shown a number of times is the 5th offical doesnt work!!! Whats the point in having a extra bloke to miss things?

[NattyBlue 44]

5th official doesn't work, yes

We haven't played well since West Brom at home in the first half, yes.

[Madmax 9,219]

This is getting scarily similar to Scolari's last couple of months

[Kostas 1,468]

We haven't played well since West Brom at home in the first half, yes.

Harsh but we've definitely been below our last years standards since October kicked in. That of course rubbishes any connection between Wilkins' sacking and our bad form.

[NattyBlue 44]

Of course, we had our critics even during the Wigan game.

The type of subs that Carlo has made have always been of the nature that it is now, if Wilkins wasn't ex-Chelsea and English, there would be something else to poke a finger at

[Peace. 4,352]

It's the first time of my life I see a ref change his decision, and I think it's the same for many of you guys... And of course, it has to be against us ! Fuck...! I guess against us the referees are forbidden to give us a penalty...

In three games, referees stole us 5 penalties !! 1 against Newcastle (for a handball inside the box), 2 against Everton (for a hanball made inside the box by Distin, and a foul on Cole) and 2 yesterday....

But of course, we can't use this as an excuse since we're ridiculous....

Everything was wrong... Barring the good game of a 17 years-old boy coming from our academy, I can't see something good in this game... If I was one of those players who earn more than £100k a week, I couldn't handle the fact that a kid was far better than me....

My view on Ancelotti's perfomance:

Seriously, what the fuck did you thinking about when you made the lineup ?! It's getting worse and worse, he can't handle the pressure and as a result he is doing absurd things... And unfortunatly, the more he's doing absurd things, the more he has pressure on his back, and the more he's doing absurd things, etc... It's a vicious circle. I can't see a end... I'm fear for his job right now...

And I don't know if you have noticed, but he does trust the youths less and less (just one youth in the most meaningless game of the season)...

So, what was the point in playing Ferreira as a LB ?! It's the more baffling choice imo (yeah, I'm getting used with the special treat toward Kalou)... Seriously, we have a young talented LB and CA doesn't use him...

Kalou: whatever is performances CA always plays him... I would pay to know his secret. And Strurridge doesn't get a start even in the more meaningless match of our season... He should leave.

My view on players performances:

McEachran was our best player by far... Congratulation to him... But this is anormal...

Cech has made nothing wrong. He has rather played well.

Terrry and Ivanovic have both had a decent game. But when you have a non-existent midfield, you can't make miracles.

Ferreira didn't play well, but he deserves respect because he does what the coach ask him to do without say a word, event though he is played out of position (nowadays, many players refuse to play out of position (Gallas)).

i don't have enough courage to speak about the other players, some of them don't even deserve it (Drogba)...

Players don't deserve to be paid at the end of the month... Roman should not give them theirs cheque for November and December...
