    okay thats it i'd rather have Gus Hiddink take us through the transition than AVB he's useless in his subs and its painfull watching him saying his trying to make us play beautiful football. 9 months and this is the shit we have to be watching painful

  • Maysam

    Chelsea must approach Guss before England does ...

  • Maysam

    if New Castle beats Spurs, we go to 6th spot. I did not expect that even during Ken Bates time

  • CharlieFineman

    Not gonna happen, Spurs are 4-0 and cruising. So we're fifth for the time being. 

  • that was brilliant by chelsea!!! simply awesome passing, great chances being created... we totally rocked tonight!!!! shame we lost, though...

  • We killed it.

  • AISIR

    I've never considered watching a 2 hour soccer game to be a waste of time, until now..

  • Lampsche

    I wonder What Villas-Boas has to say after this

  • Maysam

    I hope New Castle beat Spurs, so this might make Roman react ...

  • Maysam

    I hope Roman does something while he is in London ... This Chelsea won't qualify to CL , no doubt about it ...

  • M Mittal21

    we are fucked :D 

  • correction: we are fucked. Royally. and there are 4 months still left. i just hope we are not relegated.

  • Wretched. I'm not even sure how to react.

  • Maysam

    look what united did to us when they were 3 down , watch what we are doing to Everton while we are losing.. Everton is very comfortable ...

  • Robinson5124

    This is the most thoroughly disappointed I have ever been with this side...

  • this has been going on all season... nothing surprising about it.

  • AISIR

    did bosingwa ever learn how to cross in a decent ball...?

  • This is hard to fathom. Who isn't to blame?

  • Maysam

    in soccer, they usually do not kick out 11 players out , one man change is enough .. I bet you Guss gets better result with same players

  • Doubtful.

  • Maysam

    do not even doubt if we lost to Napoli ... we will see

  • Maysam

    the guy is talking about next year project .. but he does not know his next year project is completely depends on qualifying to CL for next season ...

  • Desailly

    Fuck this shit. Let me know when next season starts.

  • Sharinganfx

    Wtf is avb thinking????

  • CharlieFineman

    The kids are on, finally!

  • Maysam

    If I was Roman, I would give AVB vacation (Not fire) and bring in Guss ...

  • Pathetic. Furious.

  • AISIR

    chelsea is falling apart, not even fun to watch them anymore... no heart, no fight, no passion, no quality, no nothing..

  • Maysam

    Ashly Cole should got injured in 1st moinute ...

  • CharlieFineman

    Oh for fuck's sake!!!

  • Maysam

    that is it ... bring in Guss for next weekend ....

  • Shyam live footloose

    Pass pass pass aimlessly, get bored and pass to Bosingwa who either loses the ball or crosses over the goal

  • CharlieFineman

    Bring on Romelu! Let him bulldoze that defence.

  • Mateo

    now comes Slomo to save the game

  • At least it's a positive move. Well, as positive as it can be.

  • Lampsche

    How easy do we lose balls seriously!!

  • Maysam

    good sub

  • Shyam live footloose

    This is crazy stuff, Ashley And Bosingwa have been terrible . Mata needs to move to central position behind Torres and I just couldn't blame Torres, he is obviously out of his mind with the service our midfield provides him. When will AVB ever understand Meireles and Lamps wont work? Why wouldn't Bertrand get a chance despite all the dismal performances from Cole?

  • Shyam

    I'm going mad my

  • This is appalling.

  • I am losing my mind.

  • Desailly

    dire in defense. dire in possession. dire in set piece delivery. dire in set piece defending. good lord there are really no positives to take from that first half. oh and why is bosingwa still on the pitch?

  • at least torres is shooting at the goal...

  • Ray

    Uh ho...disappointment looms in the horizon...again!!

  • Johnhouston_3

    I really thnk AVB needs to go....why in gods name does bosingwa still get a game...he is the worst right back I have ever seen in a Chelsea shirt...Luiz should play on the wing as he can play a good ball and is less likely to make a crucial mistake in the penalty box as he has a tendancy to do...Cahill can pair up with Ivanovic with Luiz on the right I would be much safer...scrap the 433 it clearly doesn't work the 4231 with mata behind Torres works much better...does anyone else agree with me? Bring back the special one and we might be able to keep a clean sheet...c'mon Jose

  • Maysam

    he will if he loses 4th spot and napoli kick us out of CL

  • luiz at centre with cahill and bane on right for me.. 4-2-3-1, and avb should stay...

  • Lampsche

    After Gary Cahill's performance against man utd he deserved to be in the team today.. Move Ivanovic to the right and take bosingwa off

  • CharlieFineman

    No style, no substance. Also, we're lacking in any kind of direction, we get the ball, and don't know what to do with it, just the classical 'pass it to flanks', or 'pass around the middle'.

  • Tom

    What the hell is going on in defense???

  • Meireles is pissing me off. And that was before the yellow card.

  • This is labored. Poor.

  • Tom

    We SERIOUSLY need a proper right back. You know, one that could run, take a throw-in, can be arsed to defend, dribbles etc. As long as AVB has a hard-on for Bosingwa, our whole right flank is a calamity.

  • How does Frank miss that? Fucking hell.

  • Maysam

    some good movement but we are very slow ... just count the number of blue shirt when we are in their field ....

  • We're raising the tempo now. Ironically it correlates with better play.

  • This is better.

  • CharlieFineman

    I was wrong of me to get my hopes up after United game, haha. It ain't over yet though. 

  • Torres giving us nothing. Not a shock at all, but angering no doubt.

  • oh come on blues!!! pick ur socks up!!!

  • Maysam

    Cole  is playing not well every game but AVB does not consider alternatives at all ...

  • CharlieFineman

    True, Ash will probably have to murder someone before Bertrand could even be considered for a place. Shame. 

  • CharlieFineman

    I mean, transition or not, but we as fans should at least see some effort, right? 

  • CharlieFineman

    What the fuck? We're not even pressing in the middle of the park. Pienaar can stand there untouched for like five seconds, pick a pass, and move on, with only Mereiles presenting any kind of threat. Sick of this up and down shit, show some fucking character Chels!

  • Maysam

    if Chelsea loses the 4th position and Napoli kick us out of CL ... I can see Guss will return again ...

  • Sharinganfx

    What theshit. Lamps and cole back and all of a sudden we play likeshit.

  • All of a sudden? We've been shit for months.

  • This is a fucking joke.

  • Timb

    Yawn...no speed, no ideas, no confidence...it's really not good :-(

  • Timb

    Bosingwa is embarrassing.

  • Timb

    Wtf :-( this ain't the same team any more. Totally lost it. We will be lucky to be in CL next season, and let's face it....we don't deserve it. We ain't nothing like champions any more...

  • Gary gets the shaft. Unfortunate.
