sLOVEnian Blue 74 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Bosingwa makes such funny faces I can't keep a straight face when I'm watching him Amazing performance by Anelka tonight ... I hope Carlo finds the right place for Torres in our attack.If we play like we did tonight in away matches in CL I think we can have a real shot of getting to Wembley.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Anelka is getting more and more like how Eidur was towards the end of his Chelsea career.Ah! I can see that too now!

ruggedknot 105 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 is there anybody out there who still believe that Drogba+Torrer will work better than Torres+Anelka ?Torres+Anelka reminds me of Jimmy Floyd+Eidur.Going by the style of play alone , the Torres-Anelka combo will be a lot more fluid than Torres-Drogba will ever be ( unless they work that out ).Could try this for Sunday :Bane ______ Luiz _______Terry ______Cole__Ramires_____Mikel / Ess____Lamps_______________Nico_____________________Drogba_____Torres_______ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes yes, a good performance .We were passing the ball well, our off-the-ball movement was like hundred times better, pretty much every player was confident on the ball and (therefore) creating chances. Sadly I tuned when Sunderland just scored. But after seeing our play I was confident we would get back into the game, simply because we were playing well and it happened.Then Sunderland scored again, what a stupid goal btw, but we were still playing well so i'm confident about us eventually winning this one.Did anyone notice we were playing the '4-4-2 diamond formation'? Anelka has been great. I just knew Anelka would play a lot better in a free role behind the strikers (check my post in the tactics thread). His movement is fantastic, passing the ball much quicker, dribbling forward (with pace at times) and always available to receive a pass. Lampard lacks the movement for that role and that's why he failed in that role. All he needs to do now is get forward a bit more and start shooting. Two other players who have been great too are Essien and surprise surprise Kalou. Kalou is really enjoying a good game. His passing is solid, his touches are (surprisingly) very solid and his movement is good. Last season I said Kalou would play a lot better in a central striker role, preferably in a two-striker system. And he's really proving me right. Keep it up Salomon. But about his goal, you either have to be very confident or very stupid to shoot from where he stood. It would be much easier to tap the ball to the left a bit and shoot it into a empty goal. But who cares, it went in .I'm so happy right now . Keep it up boys.Good performance Chelsea! Haven't enjoyed Chelsea's play in ages.The second half performance wasn't as good as the first but it was still very solid. Should've scored more but i'm happy. Mikel didn't enjoy a good second half but he was pretty solid in the first (horrible defending at Sunderland's goal though, the only huge weakness in his game). Bosingwa and Drogba were really poor today. Drogba can't afford these performances anymore, he doesn't deserve to start vs. Liverpool. Kalou had a good game and got a goal. It's so obvious he's a striker and he plays a lot better in his natural role. Essien was good too.The diamond formation really worked today and that was mainly because of Anelka with a Man of the Match performance. He was fantastic. The role behind the strikers fits him perfectly. I really enjoyed his performance and I hope he'll perform like this again against Liverpool.Cech - 6Bosingwa - 5Ivanovic - 6Terry - 7.5Cole - 7Mikel - 6Essien - 7Lampard - 7.5Anelka - 10Kalou - 8Drogba - 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Wow, very pleased with our attacking play. We had so many chances that we didn't take, unfortunately, but at the end of the day a win is a win and three points is three points, which we have deservedly taken tonight.Well done boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Anelka was nothing short of phenomenal.Probably his best performance in a Chelsea shirt. Can't remember the last time a Chelsea player was so much better than everyone else on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No, no, no... The next Drogba partner should be Kalou (don't get me wrong, no disrespect here) on the bench.this, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez 2,727 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I do believe right now that we can reach Champios League final again !:goodpost: Agreed.Players finally look like they are starting to believe again. Anelka knows he needs to step up to keep his place & did so in the best possible way tonight.Time to scare the shit out of the rest of europe!
