I go away for a week and come back to find some pillock has upset Ed002 and some geezer called Kevin is going mental about Fellaini...

Blimey look what happens when I go away...

PR!

Believable3 Unbelievable2

So you're admitting that it's all your fault, PR? ;)

And ED002 only gone 1 day and everyone's convinced we're signing Modric.

I must admit I had my doubts about Fellaini but after tonights performance (I know only one game etc!) surely he has to be worth consideration? He would give us some physical presence which I think we will need. Is or was there any real interest from Chelsea? Also ed002 should be shown a bit more respect by some of the tubes on here - i'm not surprised he's had enough of it. Hope you come back mate - I for for one appreciate your input.

Can we please drop this whole mikel thing, we all have an opinion on how good/bad a player he is, if he is good enough for fergie to want to buy and good enough to be in the majority of rdm's teams then he's obviously doing something.

Luke said it best what have you all done on a football pitch to make you think you could do a better job, does sir alex ferguson want you to play for man utd?

Trueblue012

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Irrevelent, cause he is better than me. But the fact is he is playing for 1 of the elite clubs in the world, and he strolls around all game without breaking sweat. Fine if your a worldbeater in the mould of a Gullit but he clearly isnt

ShedLower

Agree4 Disagree0

I'm not saying I could do better. But what I am saying is that there are players out there who could. And some of them are even in our squad already. I just don't understand how he plays week in week out. He is not world class and world class is what we need if we want to win the league. Do u watch the same game as me? Because what I see from mikel is slow backwards football. If that's what u like then fair enough but I certainly don't.

Agree4 Disagree0

Good call trueblue. We all want yaya, but wr have Mikel and thats the way it is. Champions of europe for the first time and still we have moaners, 1 game into the season. Whats that all about?
:)

Luke

Agree1 Disagree2

What you seem to not mention is SAF wanted him 7 years ago. He hasnt got half a percent better in those 7 years would fergie still take him? NO CHANCE! RDM is a mikel fan boy which is gunna cost him his job. o well peps already lined up. BLUEBOY1

Agree2 Disagree2

Fergie develops players so well Mikel would have lived up to potential, fact is Mikel's level in 6 years has not developed enough and has had so many games getting the chance from the age of 18. Romeu is 21 next month and can't buy a game.

Agree2 Disagree1

I agree there are better players in our team, romeu for instance, essien could be if he gets back to his best which it looks like he could, i'm just saying rdm is obviously playing him for some reason, just remember it is the start of the season, not every player will play every game and p.s we were playing wigan ffs

Trueblue012

Agree1 Disagree2

Fergie also wanted Eric Djemba-(so good they named him twice)Djemba to play for United, and the silver Brazilian fox Kleberson and Massimo (the cat) Tiabi! Just cause Fergie wanted Mikel doesn't make him any less slow, poor at passing, poor at tackling and have poor positional sense!!

Surewould

Agree3 Disagree1

A lot of you seem to forget that mikel was not a defensive player when he joined us and it was Mourinho who changed his style. Its a shame really because watching him play a more advance role before he joined us was a joy.

BlueJohn

Agree0 Disagree0

What have we done on a football pitch? I threw up once after drinking too much the night before .... does that count? 'pot-bellied, shaven headed, knuckle dragging somethings' I believe 002 once described us as ;) so in answer to your question yes Mikel is probably better than most of us on a football pitch, but that is completely and utterly IRRELEVANT!! we are fans not players.

mikel is one of the best players in the world.

he controls the tempo of the game and creates many goals (for the other team at least)

For everyone going on about fellaini and how we need him etc and how good he was, he played behind the striker tonight, would he get ahead of hazard mata in that position, ??

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He's a half decent defensive mid aswell.

Agree2 Disagree0

He gave a absolute barnstorming performance tonight, a physical beast.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's an everton player, a good one too, but lets leave it at that, it would take a ridiculous amount of money to take him away from everton fc

Fellaini to Chelsea. Amazing performance tonight, and a very good season last year, would love to see him at the club.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

The thing is though he played behind the striker tonight. if we had him we'd play him in a defensive role which is not where he prefers to play, great player but we don't need every player who has a good game

Agree1 Disagree3

Be a very good signing fellaini would i'm sure

Agree0 Disagree0

My original comment was in reference to today's game, but his performances last season more than suggested that he could do a great job for us.
He would play deeper, but there is freedom to move forward, i think he has the ability to get up and down the pitch in the way Lamps can.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Aug 2012 21:58:33
After seeing Marouanne Fellani take Man Utd apart tonight I really hope we go after him. He would also add some defensive strength and height to our smaller forward line. Come on Mr Abramovich please bring him to Chelsea!

Believable1 Unbelievable1

20 Aug 2012 21:57:58
Ed018 can you have a word with ed002? Them posters earlier clearly don't know anything. I just don't want them 2 to have ruined our chance of gaining ed002's knowledge, we all know how stubborn 002 can be from last time!

I'm sure we will, not sure Mata will start, Essien could get some time and maybe Cahill and Sturridge as well

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Aug 2012 21:23:09
No rumour but whoever is watching the Everton v Man.U game all I can say is Marouane Fellaini, sign this lad and put him in the holding role, instead of mikel.

Wasn't we linked with him early on in the transfer window?

Maybe we can get him next year, he would add to our Belgian army.

Sheva016

Believable3 Unbelievable0

His tackling was a bit mistimed

curt

I wanted him 2 seasons ago. i got slaughtered for it by all my chelsea m8s. i mentioned and that was it lol. BLUEBOY1

20 Aug 2012 20:59:57
I have been shouting from the rooftops since the end of the season about signing fellani and today just proves how good a player he is. He is too good a player to be at everton and I'm sure would be interested in joining our Belgium players at the bridge. Has to be one of the most underrated players in the league.

NWBLUE

everyone is always talking about how mikel is always slowing down the tempo of the game and passing to the side or back, which i agree on. but - has anyone ever thought of the point that maybe he has been told to do that by the management. Maybe RdM doesn't want a counter-attacking side. You must remember that he started as an ATTACKING midfielder and chelsea moulded him into a defensive one. Mikel keeps the ball for us (most of the time ). I think its fairly obvious that because Mikel plays regularly he isnt doing anything wrong and thats why he is in the first team. Maybe we dont want to see him therem, but he is there for a reason.

P.s - If he wasn't executing the tactics correctly, do you really think RDM wouldnt have dropped him by now?

Believable0 Unbelievable4

If it is RDM he needs to go now.

Agree2 Disagree2

20 Aug 2012 20:57:28
Fellaini is a boss of a player. He totally dominates play and wins almost all aerial balls, his passing is good and he also has an eye for gosl. Sadly we aren't interested in him ,he could have been a wonderful purchase.

ELI

Believable1 Unbelievable0

20 Aug 2012 20:56:17
Don't know about anyone else but I feel that signing another attacking mid/ winger that would play in the trio behind the striker, ie Moses, should be bottom of our priority list right now. Dont get me wrong because i think Moses is a great player, however with all our signings this summer plus Piazon, I think we have more than enough players in that position, so i would much rather have another Deep lying midfielder, striker or RB at the moment.
MB

Believable5 Unbelievable0

We really need a right back, & RDM to grow a pair and drop mikel & lampard for essien & ramires. hes just gotta try it, at the end of the day essien & mceachran were are best preseason against a very strong PSG, yet neither of these 2 got a look in! that is not how to manage a team. you play your inform players not your loved and favourite people.

Have to admit that motd fever has hit me, but I feel that Fellaini is exactly what we need in the centre of the park. We would be formidable! MB

20 Aug 2012 20:44:12
Fellaini is dominating the manu defence...what an imposing player he is!

need him, not mikel

Believable1 Unbelievable1

20 Aug 2012 20:10:12
I pray to god we sign a quality midfielder like fellaini, n'zonzi or m'vila, even with the likes of hazard and Marin in our team our attacking play from the centre midfield is dire, also Mikel needs the boot he just doesn't cut it, all he does is slow down play and pass backwards. Jack

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Bit of motd fever but fellaini looks quality run in it against utd at the moment

Agree2 Disagree0

What's motd fever? {Ed018's Note - match of the day}

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah fellaini is an absolute handful he would be perfect, but i doubt anything will happen and at least till January things will remain the same in that position.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini does look monstrous tonight, then again he always plays pretty well. would be great for us. i fancy everton to beat manu tonight.

mikec

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini looks great

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini is in a different league to M Vila and N zonzi

Agree2 Disagree0

Aha totally agree, but either of the three will will be a major improvement on Mikel.

Hi guys these are my rating for the match against wigan

cech 7/10 solid game
Ivanovic 8/10 good goal
luiz 5/10 a few bad tackles and a few good passes average game
Terry 6/10 good game
Cole 7/10 some good runs up the pitch and some good tackles
Mikel4/10 couldn't keep up with the tempo of the game
Lampard7/10 good penalty and some good passes
Bertrand8/10 some great play down the wings and a brilliant turn on alcaraz
Hazard10/10man of the match assisted both of the goals and great runs down the wing man of the match for sure
Torres3/10 plain lazy,like he didn't want to play hope he improves
Mata6/10 we need to rest him he's been excellent for us obviously he was tired yesterday he still had an ok game yesterday.thoughts? carPetman

Believable2 Unbelievable9

Agreed

Agree1 Disagree6

Torres 3/10? are you messed up in the head? He played good. He made good runs and almost scored but cleared off the line.

Agree4 Disagree1

You don't know football very well do you

Torres plain lazy?
Lampard good passes, yeah sideways
I've just stopped commenting on peoples interpretation of how mikel played

Trueblue012

Agree5 Disagree5

He was lazy just like you no name and I'm smarter than you spanner carPetman

Agree1 Disagree4

Ignorant.........


curt

Agree2 Disagree4

I agree with Trueblue012.

MKBLUE

Agree4 Disagree3

Your ratings are ridiculous 10/10 for Hazard, he played well but not a perfect game, Torres 3, really, when he got the ball and ran with it he did well, he should have had a pen. And Luiz played better than that, as did Terry who were both solid.
Your ratings are lazy and based more on what you expect that what happened.

Agree4 Disagree1

Ed seriously can you just ban people who dont have my email address on there posts its getting boring now with people pretending to be me

curt {Ed018's Note - i apologize Curt. it must have slipped past me earlier and yes people will be banned for that}

Agree0 Disagree2

The whole team did well, I am sick of so called fans coming on here and slating our own players.

Agree2 Disagree5

No need to apologise your not making them do it but thank you

were not slating the team just mikel because hes as much use as a chocolate teapot

curt

Agree2 Disagree4

Trueblue , have a look at lampards outside the right foot pass to hazard leading to the pen.
Lampards still got it pal.
You need to have a word with yourself , you post a lot of rubbish on here. Yes it's ur opinion but more often than not its utter garbage.
Cfcmatt.

Agree2 Disagree2

Ridiculous ratings! cech 7, ivan 7, terry 7, cole 6, mikel 5, lampard 6, bertrand 7, mata 6, hazard 8, torres 7.

Agree0 Disagree1

Terry was a rock, 8/10 for me! Plus Torres made some great runs, got one chance and was so unlucky not to score his determination to get the shot in was first class, at least 7/10!

Agree1 Disagree0

Cfcmatt I think you are misunderstanding me, i'm not saying lamps is past it i was pointing out he doesn't seem to pass forwards too much, besides there are other attributes to his game that make him the best midfielder in the world, such as his goal scoring ability and his organisational skills

Trueblue012

Agree0 Disagree0

Really Luiz 5/10, he was superb. One bad tackle which deserved a yellow but how may wigan players should have seen yellows for similar challenges but didnt. 8/10

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Aug 2012 17:13:47
To be honest guys, I'm not too fussed about opening day performances. I'd rather we do something similar to defensive and collect points rather than go hammer and tongs and drop stupid points. Not saying I like the style of football, but if we did this against a club say like Everton or Newcastle, it would be praised a well-thought out plan. If it was City/United, it would be hailed as a great defensive performance with clever breaks. After all, didn't Mourinho rely somewhat on winning ugly and closing out games? That is what separates champions from second, which is why United have been a force. Winning ugly, closing games out, taking key goals and stopping opponents scoring. Wigan were a potential opening day banana skin, look at Southhampton and how they nearly scared City. Would you have expected them to do that before the match looking at stats and teams? Hazard already looks the real McCoy, Oscar is already looking a wonderful buy, Torres did well but needs more direct service and Mikel/Lampard both slowed play down. On the bright side, we won. Looking forward to the new season.
3 more players in, 1 RB who we have discussed at length, 1 winger who as we said yesterday "We'll see you next week" and a marquee big name striker.
Chin up guys, hey we are not Loserfool!

Good post i agree about the opening day performance better saving the big performances for city and united

I'm backing Torres to come gd. Just needs the ball to him quicker and more often.

Perfect start, 3 points in the bag, clean sheet, Hazard looked good! Arsenal drew, loserpool + spuds lost and city only just won. Nothing to moan about apart from the muppets picking at the performance already.. Tut tut

we got the better squad by far especially once we finish our transfers but iv gotta agree with rowey united always find a way to win sometimes last season we looked clueless

We have the stronger squad based on talent but united have the edge in experience

Trublue012

Agree1 Disagree3

Im not a fan of either, but u all seem a little bias. Rvp, rooney, nani, valancia, kagawa is better then torres, mata, hazard, ramires, oscar. Defence is probably equal when both fit, but maybe chelsea slightly ahead. Overall united ahead.

I think its safe to say Ivanovic has redeemed himself, perhaps. The way he was up there linking with a quite frankly immense Hazard and finished that goal made him look like a striker...

Believable2 Unbelievable0

He is forgiven, but would have been nice to start the season with a trophy.
I am confident had we kept 11 men on the pitch we would have beaten Man City

Agree4 Disagree0

Dont know why ivanovic needs to be forgiven yes it was a wreckless challenge in the sense it was too footed but thats about it

there is no way it can be seen as a dangerous tackle and one with intent to injure the player his foot just raised a bit

it happens in football

Well done for sticking with the page ed i can imadgen its very frustrating at times

No curt im on about when ed used to post goings on letting every1 know what was going on who we were talking to what stages it was at and 1 or 2 negotians broke down like they do and loads of people put the boot in on ed saying she wasnt in the know so on wich stopped all of this fair enough you ask ed a question and she ansews it wich is still good but far from
What it used to be prime example david luiz the deal was off according to everyone else there was no time ed said the deal was done ,u know the rest ,just saying this doesnt happen anymore

Nothing solid however, there have been rumours about Modric talks stalling with Real Madrid as Levy wanted an extra £2million at the last minute.

To be honest if we did decide to get him, I don't see where he would play, he likes to play attackingly like Lampard. But as we have Lampard we don't need someonelse like him...

Believable0 Unbelievable1

He plays the double pivot role, which is where we are struggling to get the ball moving quickly with lampard and mikel playing there, personally we need a new player for that posistion but i dont think modric is the player for chelsea, like everyone else does..

Watched Lakaku at The Baggies he is dog rough for £18 Million quid and in no way is worth anything like that kind of money and as for the new Drogba I think that is nothing short of wishing thinking. I think Steve Clarke should have a word with RDM and Chelsea and say that its gonna take us the best part of 3 years to turn him into the new Drogba,then and only then will we send him back for a small fee , for expenses and the like ,i think £10 million should cover it with the proviso that we can take him back whenever the need occurs. This kid will terrify defences with his pace power and skill,he reminds meself of when Big Cyrille first burst on the scene at the Baggies ,as they share some of the same attributes,anyway I hope to see more great things from this kid for the rest of the season. anyways thanks for the loan and when he does eventually return you are gonna have a hell of a good player on your books ,thats hopefully that RDM has n,t misplaced the loan contract.
All the best for the new season(except when you play us) and congrats to RDM and Chelsea on last season ,s success,s.

Another impressed Baggies fan, if he makes a steady progression every game he plays ,the lad will be a steal even at £18 million.

Ah Curt, speaking before reading. What a shocker :)

Agree7 Disagree1

Only saw the highlights but he did look good. Didnt really show himself during preseason but i think he had already decided what he wanted to do, im guessing he knew no matter how well he played he wouldnt be ahead of torres in the pecking order so didnt try that hard. Wish him and the baggies well this year.

Chelsea Nick. it is tongue in cheek as the text says,yes he is on loan,no recall has been mentioned up here,Baggies pay part wages,Lukaku goes back to Chelsea at seasons end,it reads that he impressed that much that chelsea will have to pay a fee to get him back or send in the troops to prise him away when the loan ends it was written as a joke,not his performance that is he will still become an awesome striker if nurtured correctly to the trials and tribulations of the premiership.

The amount of time people spend moaning about Mikel they could have written a book by now. Look, RDM is quite clearly better qualified than u in what he does and is at training every day watching these players. The fact that Mikel has important roles in the team under basically every manager we've had (especially the successful ones) shows that he ain't half bad. Stop moaning cause the fact of the matter is ylu don't have a say in team selection. We are Chelsea fans, not Arsenal ones, so support our players Ffs.

The guy managed the best team in the world with the best player in the world and they still played boring football, and you want him to be our manager, seriously, give di matteo a chance, he did amazing things in the second half of last season, turning this season into what could be our best ever from a very worrying position

Ok 2 points.

Firstly, mikel. I'm sure that teh day will come when he will no longer be selected. However this will probably come at a price, ie being dropped after making a huge mistake. Ideally, the mistake would not be too costly, however it could be that he gives the ball straight to van persie in the 91st minute at 1-1 at OT.

Secondly, RDM. Lay off him guys, does anyone remember the early days of Mancini. He was labelled as ultra defensive, grafting 0-0s at home to arsenal. But look now, he has his own stamp on the team, and they now play their own brand of attacking football. Chances are , the same will happen for us, so be patient, don't expect instant succes , and let's go do Reading !!

Wats wid ppl slaying rdm's defensive approach? i m very happy wd yestrday's game xcpt the too casual approach. we won and dats wat matters. ppl shud stop expectng 'attractiv' attackng footbal from rdm.he didnt come here for dat. he himself said dat.
why do ppl only call attack as attractve futbal? we produced some excellnt defensve displays last seasn albeit wd sum luck. we hav the best defence in d world wen they play sanely. theres no competng their experienc and talent.we hav kane (future rb), chalobah(future club n country captain), ake(future dutch captain)....all im saying lets produce good defenciv displays and lets call that attractiv..

lets stop wid all brng guardiola chants....thers no guarantee he wil b successful here...barca 08-12 was a combination of coach+players...individually, success wil not b 2 d same extent. personally imo , if evry1 went barca way, ther wudnt b any need for defenders or strikers, only midfielders wud play all ovr d park..dmf in defence a la mascherano and cam in attack a la fabregas.
guardiola has been the most successful in making barca players a bunch of wussies and play-actors who hound referees at every foul...do u honestly see essien lying and crying for a foul everytim sm1 touches him?
chelsea had attitude dat made opponents piss in their pants. it can be brought back again i m sure...
lets just do what we r best at and evrythng else will fall in place...

All good teams have to build from the back. AVB came with a attacking approach last year and defensively we fell apart. 3-5 game vs Arsenal was very attacking and entertaining but we were all over the place and call me crazy but i dont enjoy getting beat so a scrappy 1-0 win will do me every time.

i really do believe that mikel would struggle to get in any other premership club so why on earth do we keep playing this joke! next game just watch him and only him and see how poor the bloke is! he tries these stupid little drag backs just out side our own box! no pace,not mobile enuf,trys to be clever doing step overs outside our box which one game will cost us,crap in the air for a big lad,not even strong for a big lad,offers no goal threat,slows down play FOR GODS SAKE DO I HAVE TO GO ON!!! RDM i back u fully but ur the only one who thinks he warrents a start! we need a yaya and power house who can balldose threw other teams not a bloke who stands on a 5p coin all game! SORT IT OUT!!

I mustve watched a different game then some of you guys. Besides scoring a goal torres was great. He made good runs (most of which weren't picked up), he took on defenders, he won some aerial battles, he drew a free kick and should've gotten a penalty as well, he released teammates, he almost scored his lone chance, and he stayed hungry despite the crap service he got (mostly due to gifting possession in the midfield).

Tk

Believable9 Unbelievable0

Agreed, he looked sharp.

Agree4 Disagree0

Totally agree mate.

Ads

Agree4 Disagree0

I think the negativity is from people that didnt watch the game and then looked at the scoresheet afterwards and saw he wasnt on it. He played well, though did not show as much desire as against city, but we were 2 - 0 up by the time he touched the ball i think. He will get plenty of goals this year and more importantly in my opinion will be a good team player

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree he did good when he had the ball,but there were times he just lets the passes go without even bothering to go for it.i just sense he's had enough of our midfield not providing,any striker would get frustrated when they constantly make runs but never receive that killer through ball.with oscar in our lineup hopefully this particular problem can be solved

aL

Agree1 Disagree0

He had 2 promising runs, the first was a definate penalty and 2nd half he did a nice run and was fouled just outside the box. Also unlucky not to score with the 1 cleared off line. My problem with him is he just acts like a sulky girl 99% of the time with his hands on hips, he will still go missing and hide when the going gets tough. A new striker to give him competition is a MUST.
