LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 That was never a handball, at least not intentional. And Drogba wasn't offside.I think he was, but little does it matter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Essien really proved my (and The Big Drog's) point today. With him at DM, you have all-round defensive stability you need in a DM in when playing a midfield-three and he also offers us something in attack as a bonus. I hope CA realises this.I have nothing against John but i'm thinking about what's best for Chelsea Football Club here.Ramires played some lovely passes and had some really neat touches as did Essien. Id go as far as to say that was Ramires' best game for the club so far.Definitely guys, you're both right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Delighted for the 3 points, although it didn't sound like the display we needed. Can't say I'm happy about the subs either, hope it was nothing more than time wasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 With the Sunderland disaster still fresh in my memory I hope Brana's yellow won't make this a Phyrrhic victory like Essien's red against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Essien really proved my (and The Big Drog's) point today. With him at DM, you have all-round defensive stability you need in a DM in when playing a midfield-three and he also offers us something in attack as a bonus. I hope CA realises this.I have nothing against John but i'm thinking about what's best for Chelsea Football Club here.I've always been a fan of Mikel and it's been great to see his fantastic performances this season but I think we can do much better without him in that DM role. While his strength on the ball and calmness when under pressure from opposition players is unquestionable, I think he's not been able to move things about quickly in the middle of the field. IMO his decision making while passing is just a tad slow still and we'd be better served playing Essien there. He is the complete midfielder and certainly among the top 3 box to box mids in the world and we're wasting his vision and passing by playing him as a CM. Ramires showed in the Spurs game that right now his best position is at RCM. His pace is terrific and he gives us great energy there, a perfect compliment for Lamps alongside him who will do what he does best now that he's returned.IMO our 3 in midfield should be set up like this : ------------------------Essien------------------------------------Ramires-----------------Lampard-------------Soothsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevemayer 764 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 first of all you should all keep you're feet on the ground, because i'am not that statisfied with the win. we were really really riding our luck. Ash and Bos have been awfull, let alone Kalou (in his late cameo) and Anelka.We could've easily lost against BOLTON on our own soil, i don't know what game you all have seen, I am as happy, may be even more then all of you, that we've won this match but the performance was underpar.Only players that've playes well:CechTerryRamiresLampsBaneEssien was awful again, really, where have they hidden our old Bison? He really made two good runs in the whole match, one led to that great goal. It's a strange world where Essien can lose nearly every single tackle in the midfield, don't tracks his player, looks like he could be shaken off the ball so easily you could think he is a 70 year old grandmother, has two good passes and all of us applaude him, this is ridiculus.Before this season I was argueing with EVERYONE that Essien might be the best Midfielder in the World right now, cause his physical presence, his passing, his shooting but more than evereything else, his determination was second to none! But this ist not THE Essien, this ist nocht MY Essien and this is clearly not the Bison of Chelsea Football Club! So get real, I really feel like ManU're fan, where is our proud so we cheer our team like blind plastic-fans albeit they didnt fight for us at all, aside the players mentioned above.Drogba was awful, as was Malouda.We are completely out of balance, this team has lost it, you clearly have to change something, if we play the next game as bad as this one, I can guarantee you we're gonna lose.Ramires was the only player who ran his socks of, and I could no where see great passes or tacklings from him, you're all cheering him for things he didn't even do, but for me nontheless MotM, cause ha has had determination, was willing to run and works his socks off, thats what I wanna see from a player in a blue shirt nothing ELSE!and I'm not gonna cheer our Blues, till they play well, and yesterday was much worser than against Arse....greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
