ruggedknot 105 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.Game against Newcastle in the league cup was another stand-out performance . Almost single-handedly got us back into the game , which we nearly won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Gotta love Branislav's reaction to the Bosingwa being hit by the ball, when on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Lampard was running up and down like he was on dope. Wait. He always does that. Imo second best Chelsea player tonight.Couldn't agree more!!1. Anelka2. Lampard3. Terry4. Kalou(My MoM order.)..That's right, KALOU. I said it. [see..

Milan 17,958 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You post some reply in this topic, you are happy Chelsea performed in some style. Then you look at the head of this web and see Nando 9. And you are even happier.Amazing days, amazing days.Gotta love Branislav's reaction to the Bosingwa being hit by the ball, when on the floor. Wouldn't want to see his eyes from such a small distance! Serbia rules Team spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 And to think he was being linked with a move to Scumpool.Imagine that... Would have certainly been a better signing than Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Kalou too had a good game, especially by his standards as a starter. Quite a few mindbogglingly characteristic Kalou decision but his touch was making me double check it's him. Unlucky not to get another goal.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Stunning, absolutely stunning from the Frenchman tonight, if only we could sign a 50 million striker every week to get him to play in this vain of form. Everything that is so often wrong with his game, his holding midfielder like positioning, his coastal erosion level of speed on the ball, his absolutely unwillingness to work hard for the team, and his defiance to using his blistering pace to go past players were all put right tonight, he was absolutely immense, setting up one and scoring the 4th. Nic Anelka put forward a very strong case as to why he should never have been suggested as a makeweight in the Torres deal and why he should be the one to partner Torres when the Spaniard debuts.Another note of interest was Drogba's positioning, credit to him, when he found himself out wide he still proved effective and chased back to help out the defence, I still think a 4-3-3 could work even when Torres is introduced into the side. The only negative I can think of is Mikel, to be fair to him I suppose he is just recently back from injury but really he has got to be faster on the ball and for a holding midfielder he is far too passive.Credit to Sunderland who made a real game of it, they didn't set their stall out to defend, they attacked right from the off and put in a very good performance, Richardson and Bardsley both played well and Henderson impressed with his composure. A lot of Chelsea fans are calling that our best away performance this season and I dont think id disagree with them, sure we beat Bolton by more goals but I thought our performance tonight was better and against a higher level of opposition.

DYC. 7,542 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Where are the people who said Anelka would become 'The Sulk' again ?but we MUST stop giving teams a goal start...Very true. But I was confident we would get back and win the game, you could see it in the way we played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Where are the people who said Anelka would become 'The Sulk' again ?Some people expected that yes (not me for the record haha), but it's great to see that he's reacted to Torres signing in such a professional way.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I agree with that, the first goal we conceded really was not good from a defensive standpoint, that being said I thought we looked like the better team throughout, played with the right attitude and you could see that the players were really on their games tonight.

It may have had some effect but I think it's because he simply played in a different role, a role that fits him much better.Here But i'm more than happy to be wrong .

Milan 17,958 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Until we scored the winner, we had been awfully unlucky - Ivan, Kalou, Anelka. Those chances should have been goals. Anyway the winner scored by our captain, lovely moment. A beautiful shot by Lampard and a clinical finish by our defender Unstoppable.
