Can't believe Malouda was put on the pitch again he didn't even break a sweat.
INSANITY: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I've been on here a number of times saying Torres needs service and van will come good but today I feel different. I don't think the players want to fight for him. His out his depth, Portuguese league completely different to prem league. I think get guus hiddink in til end season and pray roman can get mourinho back, I know it's not his team but if we don't get top 4 we won't get stars we need

How much do we miss Ramires!

My team for next year

**********Cech*********

VDW***Cahill**Luiz**Bertrand

**********Essien**********

******Ramires**Mata******

Hulk******Torres****Hazard

I also think we should try and buy Kaka not only for competition for places but also to change the system and give us a different attacking style.

Can someone please express to me a decent reason why AVB hasn't been sacked? He is actually the worst manager we have had in a long time! Tactics positions, players he gets it all wrong! Roman has sacked people for alot less than this clown!

Believable7 Unbelievable1

I agree he is a joke this has got to stop for the sack of our club!

Agree4 Disagree0

To be honest i dont think its down to AVB, hes a good manager but the players just arent respoding to him and are expressing no passion. Same thing happened under CA last year.

AK

Agree9 Disagree6

B****cks!! He is tactically inept!!
Last Sunday at 3-2 he took Sturridge off and put on Romeu inviting more pressure from united??
I'm not a coach but even I knew this was stupid!!
He hasn't got a bloody clue!!

Agree5 Disagree0

Don't get me wrong, im not saying AVB is making the right calls because I also believe most of his desicions have been well off but what I was saying was it might help if the players were willing to work hard for the manager. What I was getting at before is maybe we are concentrating to hard on what the manager is doing and not what the players are doing.

This manager is by far the worst that Roman has had at the club.
While he's sacking this person of a manager, he also needs to sack the advisor's, who keep coming up with these useless money grabbing managers.
He must bring Hiddink in now, otherwise, napoli will knock us out of the CL.
Hiddink will steady the ship, the players love & respect him. We can then decide at the end of the season what to do about a permanant manager.

Believable7 Unbelievable2

11 Feb 2012 19:43:39
get this muppet avb out of our club now please roman the man does not have a clue how to manage give guss hiddink a call now before our season becomes a joke we are so far behind the top 3 now, you are useless boas.

AVB's press conferences are funny,

'Worst game of the season, worse in every sense of that word", i think we should keep in the shadow as the teams banter man.

Just like o'neil done a rivival at sunderland, we need a new manager to do a revival otherwise goodbye CL footbal for next year.

I know this aint guna happen but if we win champions league does that me we qualify for the cup next year ?

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Yes, Liverpool changed the rules when they won it and finished 5th. so if we win it and they finish 4th. no cl for them! {Ed001's Note - actually the rules stated that the winners of the Champions League automatically qualified for the group stages. But UEFA changed it so that Liverpool didn't, and relegated them to the qualifying rounds instead, due to the FA's insistence on getting Everton in as well. The rules were just clarified to stop any country getting a 5th team in.}

Agree1 Disagree0

So we would still qualify or will uefa say not this time ur chelsea we hate chelsea, if we let u through the ref will be overbo 4 every game {Ed001's Note - if Chelsea win it, they qualify.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm glad u can understand his press conferences b'cos I have no idea what he is saying most of the time.

Bad day in the office.I would like to note down a few things chelsea are missing:
1)No midfield general like modric,scholes,gerrad etc to control the tempo.Lamprd is getting on and cannot do that job anymore.
2)No wingers,so no space available for the strikers, you cannot rely on fullbacks to provide decisive crosses.
3)Stubbornness of AVB to stick to one striker for most of the game.
4)We blame our strikers for not scoring drogba, torres etc, lets remember these are great strikers and we should not be having problems scoring goals,but as well documented we do.Why is that?
The answer is strikers depend on confidence to score goals ,everything a striker does depends on it.while other teams strikers score lots of the so called tap ins how many do we do.In my opinion our team must be the lowest in terms of creting those kind of chances.As aresult our strikers suffer.Mark torres against man u ,swansea,genk earlier this season he was the best player on the pitch and then look at him in the everton game looking ponderous.
5)Boswinga
There is more but for now these are the main ones.

Exactly , but i think cole has been poor, wen was the last time i seen torres get a through ball played through is ridiculous

Agree4 Disagree0

11 Feb 2012 17:00:08
Well, about 2 month ago i was one of the most optomistic people on here, even earlier today i bet on Torres scoring, that games it for me, im not enjoying being a chelsea fan at all for the first time ever really, i enjoyed it when we were bottom half premier league more than this, had enough of this set of players, play the reserve team for the rest of the season i reckon i would actually enjoy that more than this, AVB has got to go, you just cant be taking Mata off, why do we all know this and the manager doesnt, he isnt the right man to take chelsea forward im afraid, Hiddink back NOW

SHED END

Believable9 Unbelievable0

You have extended patience mate. I gave up on torres after the miss at Norwich. since then he has played worse. Im glad drogba is back, if anyone will fire us into CL for next year it surely rests on him now. Cant play worse.only a positive.

As for AVB he hasn't a clue im afraid. Todays decisions prove what each and everyone one of us are saying. I feel so saddened to see this happening to chelsea.

Shak

Agree3 Disagree1

AVB knew Drogba would be out while playing for his country,its been obvious for months that Torres wasnt up to the job,so why wasnt a forward signed,millions to get AVB,50 million for Torres,what a total waste of money,so who do we get now?,look at us and look at the top 3 sides,were miles behind,think AVB will be sacked this week.

Agree3 Disagree1

Torres just doesn't get the service how can we expect him to score not even messi would score in our team. Serious changes need to be made. Bring back Hiddink now then Mourinho in the summer.

Agree6 Disagree2

Time for avb to go, shambles can't begin to describe it. If we are not top 4 I don't won't to play Europa league best to miss Europe completely. Get a new manager that can actually man manage and not mismanage!

Agree3 Disagree2

As usual I completely agree with SHED END. being a chelsea fan sucks, the only thing that made me happy today was bringing on lukaku and bertrand, who both need to be playing far more. ashley cole is one of my fav players but he has been very poor this season. as for avb - unless we get mourinho back, i will still give him another season but at the moment i am far from impressed

Vincent

Agree3 Disagree0

Countless times Torres has had the service and still made a mess of it,and Messi makes chances for himself time after time,takes defences on and knows how to score,what a stupid comparison,Torres isnt in the same class,he can share a taxi with AVB.

Agree3 Disagree4

It's not a comparison it's a fact messi would struggle in our team if Torres played for barca he would score 30+ a season. We are the club that ruins big name players sheva

Agree1 Disagree2

At the end of the day, its night

Agree2 Disagree1

Nah sorry Torres supporters, a few months ago i would of argued all day Torres would of come good, even now i its hard let go, but i think its 21/22 games now, id fancy myself to get a couple in that many games, there is probably 15 odd other strikers in this league that would of scored at least 3 or 4 during this run. Feel sorry for the bloke, i dont dislike him but we would of been better off just getting a 'defoe' in january to tide us over til summer, The problem with him is, hes not a big hold up powerhouse type striker, and hes not the classic small pacey type striker, hes somewhere between, we'd be better off with any of the other 2 it just isnt fitting

SHED END

Agree4 Disagree2

11 Feb 2012 16:57:09
WHY did cahill not start
WHY was essien and mata taken off
WHY do we not even look like scoring
WHY are we not going to make the top 4
WHY dont we play 442
WHY do the players lack passion


Answer: Manager hasnt got a clue, not a clue


Hope R.A is sharpening his axe

Believable10 Unbelievable2

I don't think you can put the whole blame on the manager, yes he has made mistakes, but the blame needs to be placed on the players as well who just aren't performing like we know they can!

Agree3 Disagree4

Yes you can blame boas he is crap

12 points out of a possible 30. Not good enough AVB. How about trying something else? Or do you have no other ideas?

I can honestly say that I have rarely been as disgusted with the way Chelsea have played in the last few years as I have seen today. The players have no desire. Torres, despite the fact that he has no service, is playing defeatist football. Meireles is just plain terrible. Cole looked awful, thank God he got injured. Bosingwa... where do I even begin? Sturridge is looking tired as well. Mata, the one bright spot on the field was brought off. As much as AVB has been under scrutiny for his poor tactics, which were again poor today, I feel he is dealing with a team and players that just go out and play with no energy or desire. He needs to be given full support with his transfer targets and many players need to be shown the door at the end of the season. I believe in Chelsea and AVB, but I need the players to begin to believe in themselves and AVB needs to take some chances with the young players and try some new things.

So 2-0 down and he takes off mata an leaves that waste of space meireles on the pitch. I'm starting to run out of patience with avb.

Bosingwq, sturridge, cole, lampard are just as bad

11 Feb 2012 16:36:50
Enough is enough get rid of AVB, bring in Hiddink until the end of the season, then get Mourinho back in the summer.

If only it was that easy eh

11 Feb 2012 16:35:56
I'm sorry, I've tried to support AVB but watching this game has done it for me,he has to go.he has nothing to give us,the squad dont want to play for him and his selection has been horrible.i really feel like throwing my mug at the tv.AVB should go manage millwall for all i care.absolutely stupid,and now he takes off mata.what a talented manager we have here

WTF is chelsea doing ,, and AVB can't put together a team to atleast compete everton for a win. Our midfield sucks, no long ball reached a striker all game. It's a shame and this season we may lose our champions league spot ( not "may" , we will lose it )

Believable6 Unbelievable0

11 Feb 2012 16:00:38
I think the reason i back AVB is because i feel sorry for him. Truth is maybe his match strategy isn't good enough and i always disagree with boswinga's selection. Very poor, no passion and yet is always selected, even though we can play ivo at rb and cahill at cb.

Somehow chelsea need to up the pace. Far too slow in trying to attack. However, i can't see us scoring tbh. Just hope something changes though

I think AVB will regret not buying in january. The chop is not far away, AVB's faith in this squad will be his downfall.

11 Feb 2012 15:55:29
Just so so bad, our players have no passion or fight, Every single Everton player is closing the ball down as quick as they can, tracking back when the lose it, giving there all for the team, i dont understand why our players dont, this should come as standard, i could cry looking at our bench, nothing there to work with, 4th with this squad will me a MASSIVE achievement, The players just arent fighting for the manager, which leaves us with 2 options, new manager or new players, personally id keep the manager and just play Bertrand and Lukaku every game, start introducing Piazon, if this is a transitional period lets actually do it, were in a horrible situation, i think the clubs attitude is 4th at all costs, but we are sacrificing our future in doing so

SHED END

Believable7 Unbelievable0

Good job Torres is playing or we could end up losing this one,not

Agree0 Disagree2

Its actually quite funny cuz we have been outplayed by a team that is struggling. I said earlier we didn't look like scoring.

Mata off for lukaku!!! Is avb at the circus?? Whos going to assist lukaku? Manager is lost, needs to go.

I couldnt agree anymore with shed-end. Basically overpayed players that dnt give a toss tbh. No passion.

Shak

Agree5 Disagree0

11 Feb 2012 15:32:20
A look at our bench today shows how far we have fallen.

If this is a transitional season, why are we playing a right back of questionable standard , who is out of contract in the summer.

I want to give AVB every chance; I would prefer him to succeed than Mourinho to comeback, but I just cant see it....we have no spirit anymore.

RA is going to need deep deep pockets come the summer and to spend bigger than ever as this squad needs transformed.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

11 Feb 2012 15:30:52
We dont even compete in these games anymore, no composure anywhere on the picture apart from Mata and Essien, come on Chels we need this

11 Feb 2012 14:24:36
expected squad for the game:

cech
Ivan, Cahill, Luiz, Cole

Romeu

Meireles Lampard

Sturridge Mata
Torres

Would prefer essien than meireles or lampard but doubt it will happen.

2-0 win, Torres and the special Juan to score!

Melbourne CFC

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Guardian has posted the following team: cech,bos,ivan,luiz,cole,meireles,essien,lampard,sturridge,torres,mata.

A little upset but still time to change that team around.

Cant wait for todays game, not sure if its blind faith now but i put Torres in my Sun Dreamteam last week and im top of all my money leagues! Also got Torres/Rooney/Van Persie/Ba, all to score anytime, 30/1, Surely, surely the drought will end!

I know its very easy to say this, and probably 100% of Prem League managers would say it, but I wish we would have signed Scott Parker in the summer! When you look at our midfield he would be just what we need!

11 Feb 2012 08:15:47
Which 3 players (realistic) would people like to see come to Chelsea in the summer?

Mine would be

Hazard
Walker
Hulk

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Azpilicueta
Hazard
Cavani

Maybe not that realistic but i dont think realisticly we will sign 3 big names, maybe 1 and a couple of young up and comers.

Melbourne CFC

Agree1 Disagree0

Van der wiel, hulk, hamsik

Agree0 Disagree1

Van Der Wiel, Hazard, Gotze

Agree2 Disagree0

Azpilicueta, Hazard, Higuain, wouldnt be at all suprised if we signed all 3 in the summer

SHED END

Agree2 Disagree0

Sold has to be, bosingwa, cole, meireles, lampard, kalou, malouda, drogba, Torres, sturridge. Ins. Van der wiel, pereira, hamsik, hazard, goetze, higuain, Lucas moura, Mceachran, piazon, kakuta, Hutchinson, Bertrand given more chances
