Rant Box: Fulham v. Chelsea

Does Roman still attend our matches at the bridge??

Most. He was partying in the Caribbean on Monday, though I'm sure he was watching from afar.

Don't worry, theres hope. Here's the plan for chelsea http://imgur.com/GBYxS

We brought Mata to add creativity to the middle of the pitch while he is always on sides ... AVB must change the formation or bring at least 4 to 5 world class players ... 4-3-3 won't work with these tools ...

We were out weeks ago ... we do not deserve it as simple as this.
Napoli will beat us both at home and away , no doubt about it. I just hope, AVB thinks about future ... give chance to young players ... try to find the best formation for Chelsea ... 4-3-3 does not work for us anymore. we do not have right tool for that.
change it to 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 ... practice this formation till next season ... I do not think we will have problem to qualify to CL next season ...

Did people really expect us to challenge for the title this season? Wow.

no we didnt... but we expected a better syle of play... faster, smoother,exciting... that didnt happen !!! so it is right that we feel cheated... just four good matches this side of new year... and we lost two of them!!!

You feel cheated because we haven't exactly been elite class this season? That's frankly ridiculous. I guess we didn't win the Double two seasons ago, and didn't beat Manchester City a couple of weeks ago. Did I miss something or are we not still in fourth?

I mean, how pompous can one sound. Sure, I would loved to have won the game but the fact people are treating it as if Andre somehow ran over their dog is absurd to me.

As for the season - we're in a transition period, it was always going to be inconsistent. We didn't play that poorly today. Had Stockdale not had a blinder, we would have won. If Cech wasn't starting to fade - worrying - then we wouldn't have conceded. 

If we're 10th come the end of February I might share some of your anger but right now, it's entirely unwarranted.

i would like our players to give their 100% in each and every match... and that doesnt seem to be happening!!!

of course i feel cheated!!! chelsea are the 3rd best team in europe, with only man u and barca above it, and we cant even beat fulham or wigan!!! i dont mind that we lose games, provided we give it our all and do our best, ... frankly that doesnt seem to be happening!!! there are school boy mistakes being committed by players which shouldnt happen at this level... we shouldnt be competing for fourth place at all... i know premierleague is tough but for the couple of seasons, chelsea have been assured of a top 2 finish... so as a supporter, i think i am justified to ask for more... 

Third best team in Europe? Are you having a laugh? 

Feeling cheated because we drew with Fulham despite having a number of opportunities to win ... it's unbelievable what expectations have done to this club.

dude... i am not having a laugh... it is just that i am sad the way we are playing ... looks like man city was a fluke

check out the uefa ratings!!!

Agreed

Chelsea have to many average players on the squad.
why AVB does not use lads ..

 no league title hope we win the fa or champions league and we need a replacement for ramires and a winger poor performance since wigan we have been playing like a team with no ideas and with no passion and avb the worst substitution he likes to make

The subs were fine. Malouda was excellent when he came on.

i think the subs were pretty good... just a reflection of our bench strength... and there is no way we are going to win cl with this squad... really need to buy and sell in january... only 1 world class player in the squad...  cole. 

this is end.

face it... we are out of the race... we are now officially fighting for 4th place!!! sucks....

shitty...Here's to hoping we reinforce accordingly in the January window, and make a late push in the second half of the season.

Terrible result.

david fucking stockdale. england #2 right there.

Had a stormer. He and our lack of a real cutting edge was the difference. Not a terrible performance by any stretch but a terrible result.

wtf is going on at chelsea.. our performances are like the ones of a mid-table club!!

phantom of the opera on for bosingwa

torres to the right???? wtf???

now the game should open up a bit, assuming fulham want to play

half time and only torres looks like he cares about the game!!!!

i think Mata and Meireles played well(ish)

goallllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

this is just poor, slow game..

good bit of skill from torres, let's hope he gets at least one today

And whoever was asking for Lampard to be moved to the left of midfield, got their wish. 

*to the right.

Three strikers on the bench, and only one defender, what's going on?

Drogs doubles as a CB.
