As someone who has watched Islam Feruz since he was alledgedly 11 years old and thought he was way far advanced for his years I'm extremely disappointed with his comments about a footballing legend who moved heaven and earth for him and his family. Tommy Burns stopped islam and his family being deported and also got him a fantastic house in a nice area of Glasgow. The boy has no class and lacks the desire and attitude to make the top in football.

Away back to the Celtic page son he wanted to play in a TOP league not a PUB league

The main problem with Torres is service, you can see his frustration all over his face, the poor guy has Malouda, Kalou and Sturridge as his service so what chance does he stand.

On a positive note Bertrand is quality and will become a world class defender

I thought Ryan Bertrand was outstanding today, I agree with all the comments stating that we don’t need to be looking at buying a new left back; Bertrand is there and ready to take over from Cole when the time comes.

I agree that Torres was poor today, there is no getting away from that. I would however say that there was not really any creative element to our wingers or midfield.

Kalou is not my favourite player, and played his normal blinkered, straight line running, game today. We all know Sturridge offers nothing in terms of creative play whilst playing him on the right, either he is scoring goals or he is offering nothing at all; right now he isn’t scoring goals. I can’t see Kalou signing a new deal and fully expect him to leave, Sturridge playing on the right was clearly a tactical plan created by AVB and it isn’t working in RDM system. The club need to make a decision on Sturridge, they can either sell him or decide to use him as one of their central striker options.

The rest of the midfield today consisted of Romeu, a very good young player who is also very defensive in his play. Malouda, hasn’t played well all year and will almost definitely be leaving the club in the summer. Essien, legs have gone and he is nowhere near his former self.

None of these players, wingers or midfielders, are creative.

It is a tough decision to make as far as Torres is concerned as there is no guaranty that he will return to his former self, even if the club do bring in players with more creative abilities. Its not that I necessarily want him to leave but I’m starting to lean back towards the idea that a move away might be best for him and Chelsea. Whether he stays or goes though one this is for sure; the club will have to add quality to the midfield and wingers.

Stile that last comment about fourth just had a proper look at the table.

That was probably the most realistic result for the team that we started with.

Newcastle still have to play us and mancity and spurs are looking dodgy. Slim Chance but still gotta believe

everyone is missing the point on torres, the service he gets is terrible! kalou i just wouldnt have him near the team! wot do chelsea see in this bloke,can sumone pls tell me wot it is cos to me he offers nufing to the team wot so ever! cant pass,cant run with the ball and looks like he pulling a caravan when he sprints! all he does is run into players and falls down!

right thats that clown ive had enuf with but YET i have to watch another joke in boswinga! he is just a fraud and i cant be botherd to waste my time moaning bout him!

ed can u tell me who scouted theses players? was it the same person? and more importantly is this or persons still at the club cos am seriously worried about the players we gonna get in the summer if so!

every team has 1 bad player at their club but we seem to have 4 or 5 of them!

essien legs have gone, i love the bloke but we cant carry him in games,looked sluggesh after 15mins 2day! we are lacking pace and flair big time and we never gonna get the best out of sturrigde while he playing in a position he dnt wanna play in! thought arsenal were there for the taking 2day and thats more points dropped! 4th has gone now

What did Bosingwa do today that was so terrible? Impressed is a strong word, but coming in for Ivanovic I think today he was solid enough. He has the skill to beat full backs and today he was one of the few on the pitch today who actually did it a few times. Hats off to Bertrand too, who I thought was solid against a potentially tricky right side of Arsenal.

When Sturridge was moved to the middle he STILL did nothing today. I love the kid, it just wasn't his game in my eyes. Missing out in recent weeks seems to have left him a little less sharp. Still.. name an attacking player who had a good game today, honestly?

I think your analysis of Essien is a bit harsh too.. having said that, I am constantly frustarted with the likes of Kalou and Malouda also. However, 3 tough games in a week has brought us 2 wins, a draw and only 1 goal conceded. I'd rather be organised and not lose than play the way AVB did and ship 2 or more week-in-week-out.

All your posts seem so pessimistic or contradictory.

P.S. Remember that the summer is a long way off yet, the club is still in transition and there WILL be changes.

Wot game was u watching 2day! boswinga couldnt cross and i never see him take on any full back! ok he gets forward well but his end product is terrible!

i go on about these players cos they are crap and its mind blowing how the likes of kalou,boswinga,mikel and malouda have stayed at chelsea for sooooooo many yrs! they wouldnt get in any top european teams and i dnt want them at my club!

wots harsh in wot i said bout essien its only the truth we had the best out of him just think if we replaced them players with half decent players we be a much better team! and for wot RDM is doing with them players is top draw!

We we're alot poorer today than we have been in the last few games, this doesn't surprise me as we rested a few of our main boys and the rest of the lads playing today just aren't good enough! The likes of Malouda Kalou and Bosingwa, I dunno why people are moaning at Torres for the way he played today, yes he wasnt great but where did any opportunity come from? Sturridge showed us a poor performance again when I know he'd capable of much more! On the plus side we got a point from playing a second string team against an arsenal side that have performed will this season and the fact that barca have madrid tonight and won't rest any crucial players should go well seeing as they will be fatigued come tuesday!

Torres out please!

Torres is shocking how is he gunna score goals if he aint in the box?

Makes you weep when you see what we could have bought for 50 mill,needs sorting for next season,need someone who can score goals or well struggle afain.

I know that personally I have said to sell mikel. But with how much he has improved this season I will gladly eat my words.

Romeu again has impressed with the way he links up with the center backs as well as center kids.

Mata made an immediate impact, it was clear to see the difference he made to the whole teams play.

Torres was hot and cold. I know he has not started the last few matches but he seemed to hold the ball up well but couldn't really do anything with it. I feel that we need a striker that is not so dependent on 'good service'

Bertrand was Chelsea's best player for Chelsea tonight and deserved man of the match. He attacked well and made some very good passes, as well as getting back and making some good tackles. If he keeps playing like this forget about buying a left back.

Same here.

Had a bad game to be honest. I know people are going to say he doesn't get "the right passes" but to me I just feel he doesn't do enough to have a go at goal. It seems like he feels content with just passing the ball at the moment and that's just not good enough for a striker. He needs to be more aggressive in the box and also his positioning is really poor. We all used to hang on to the fact that he works hard, I didn't see that today so I guess there is no positive side to his performance. -BLUERAY-

Mike dean should be banned for his display so far today, has turned down 3 clear penalties and clearly will do anything in his power to help arsenal!its embarrassing to watch this crap!

As a Chelsea fan I have no idea what your talking about

Yeah dude I think your just looking for someone to blame and to be honest your pointing your finger at the wrong person. I Think Dean did a fairly good job. ELI

Mate no way we should of had a pen, just like he made a good decision not giving rvp that one.

tbh we defended well but attacked s**te

21 Apr 2012 13:42:00
Ed me old china, with talks of a big clear out in the summer circulating for some time now. Realistically how many of our players can you see leaving? And any ideas who they would be?

Cheers Dan73 {Ed002's Note - This has all been dealt with before.}

I just want to get a rough idea of what our supporters think of sturridge's future at stamford bridge. Personally i think he should stay as he is a good player/ is young, also i think that selling him would be a step in the wrong direction for our youth movement.

I see there being two options
1) we keep him, he eventually learns to be a team player as well as improving his shooting, eventually becoming a chelsea star

2) We sell him and replace him with someone who is better.

Agree for 1.... Disagree for 2
If you want him to leave say who you want to replace him.
jono

Sell him and buy jovetic

Keep him, walcott is a top player now he has developed. Give him time

Lunchbox

How can u compare them 2, we need no greedy players who boast how good they are when in fact hes rubbish

Unless he moves to a lowr stature of club ie: Everton, Aston Villa or someone like that he wont be played as a striker. Arsenal, Manchester City, United, Liverpool all have better 1st choice strikers so he would be used on the wing, which is where he is being played at Chelsea and i assume with England.

He needs to get his head down and play hard for his team and team mates and reach his potential.

PB

Yeah Walcott's got better, but he was never lazy and greedy like Sturridge

Yea mate that's because we're too busy watching our team still in Europe and possibly scouting for cheap flights to Munich?the only time Liverpool will leave the country next season will be for pre season friendlys!Also i had a look at pools page a min ago and yous lads are bonkers , you actually think half decent players will sign for yous?mate yous finish lower and lower every season , cant even beat wolves these days, and the carling cup ?the only reason you won that was no one significant went for it , even then you barely won it barely beating cardiff?so go back to your page and stop worrying about our fans and our commitment to our club, its funny that the lfc and man u pages are the busiest not only because yous are well supported but yous love to talk s**te constantly!Danny

Good post m8, I totally agree with your post . To all the chelsea fans ,if u ever want to have a good laugh visit the Liverpool page. The way they think the likes of muniain , soldado and co. Would leave their current club to join a club that haven't won a decent trophy in what, 7 years ,is just really funny. As for the dude who came on here saying we chelsea fans don't care about the club because we don't post,shows once more that loserpool fans obviously don't think before they post . Well to all scousers you should all pay more attention on your club than on ours , you guys are really pathetic. Come ​on chelsea let's stuff the Gooners! ELI
