Rant Box: Chelsea v. Valencia

By: Jack | December 6th, 2011

The bums they are a squeaking.

Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres are on the bench for the defining match of Andre Villas-Boas’ tenure at Chelsea thus far. Bold ~~and correct~~ decisions, will they pay off?

Now. Today I am happy. Nice tactics. We want a solid chelsea. Ramirez did well too.
Jack

Well, that was enjoyable.
iakobou

Indeed, very enjoyable. As I said on my blog, it was organized, rhythmic, and passionate. Good sign of things to come, I believe.
Jack

Agreed.
Mateo

Sturridge is starting to tick me, he is a great huge talent, but pass the fucking ball once in a while!!
AISIR

man right there, sturridge had chance to put the perfect through ball in for torres... why did he not try the pass.. so freakin greedy..
Jack

Great night, eh comrades?

Didier Drogba tra la la la la la! Didier Drogba tra la la la la la la la! The man is back!
Jack

Drogs! We're in baby!
Jack

Oh Didier.
Jack

Mikel on. We still need some possession.
Jack

A lot of defending being done, but we are doing it rather well.
AISIR

gosh, i wish sturridge shared half the time..
Matthew Buzzi

Where's that fellow who keeps saying Ramires is useless in the comments?
Tela

Am here....am still not convinced with ramirez....but am happy with the way he played today. We shall see what he will offer...
Wayne

HAHAHA yea where is that dude?
Jack

We've reached the half. I'm loving this.
Mateo

still think we need one more net to be safe.

but whats up with this team? we suddenly started playing really good football
Mateo

Bane has been quite under the radar last couple of games, hes preforming really well IMO
Jack

Very good today.
Jack

And Genk lead Bayer. As it stands, we would go through as group winners.
Jack

We look fantastic on the break. If Danny was only willing to share, ha.
AISIR

yea.. I like the deeper defensive line, suits us much more..
Jack

We do look more sound. It's like a 4-5-1 when we're not in possession.
Mateo

HAHA its so amusing when someone tries to outrun Rambo.
Jack

2-nil! Ramires the workhorse!
Jack

This is better from us.
Jack

Valencia much the better side apart from our goal. We need to settle down.
Mateo

need to get the ball back cuz its starting to rain
Jack

Ridiculous opening few minutes.
AISIR

DROGBA!!! still love him!
Mateo

DROGBAAAA on the comeback!!!! GREAT STUFF
Jack

EPIC START
Jack

FSC's feed blows up just as the players were taking the field. Awesome.
Jack

It's back. Thank God.
Jack

Up the Chels.
Luka

Villas-Boas has balls i'll give him that. We will see about his brains after the game.
Matthew Buzzi

So excited, and nervous. I think we can win, but it won't be easy. 2-1 Chelsea win is my prediction.
Jack

Play. Now.
