To all the idiots slagging cech off, you cant be serious, he saved a peno with his first touch literally 3 days ago, hes a quality keeper. On the bigger picture i said before the season started that i would gladly settle for a tropheyless rebuilding season, nothings changed for me, can we not all sacrafice one mediocre season for a new bright future? We need to give AVB time to work things out and trust him, his systems are good and working, its the players he inherited that are the problem theyre old and one dimensional, one by one they will get replaced, i think after januarys selling/buying we will have a much better idea so until then lets not panic like little girls after a couple of bad results

Some people are so to faced last week you couldn't wait praise AVB now you having ago at him for picking the wrong team, I saw the team before the game and I thought brilliant it's got the attacking play we want and the defence of mikel keeping the midfield at bay with the comfort of Ivanovic not Luiz at the back. Now I know the defence was horrific today but I'm sure they will look at it in training and sure the gaps in defence are closed. Ofcourse we all want instant success like ancelotti but look what happened to him. I'm not old enough to remember fergie at the start of his old trafford career but I do know he didn't have it easy and didn't have instant success but look at him now 25years later and still going strong, now I know what I would prefer 2years and AVB sacked after some trouble or another 25 years of strong and consistent football which is what I imagine abromvich wants. You can probably tell that I am a passionate Chelsea fan and I hope that you all think about what I said

One bad result and some people are posting thrash here,its a painfull result,but real fans don't condem players because of a loss.
Sturidge scored two goals against bolton,everyone was writing good things about him,one bad game and he is a bad player.
When torres scored two against genk,people said he was back to his best,but after todays result he has now become waste
and the one that pissed me off the most was some fans critising cech,he makes a mistake and he has suddenly become a bad keeper.
Am not trying to justify any player,just that a bad game is not enough to condem a player.
Chelsea do need to spend during the january transfer window.

Despite the fact that I love this site, the narrow-mindedness of some of the people on it really angers me sometimes. I think that AVB has actually done well so far. It wan't his fault that we lost against QPR because it is impossible to play with 9 men. Today we could have done better but I simply believe that that was because we simply lacked quality to deal with arsenal's attack. Bosingwa simply isn't good enough. It is too easy to blame the manager when in reality he doesn't have the resources available to make us real title challenges. Give AVB a chance because since he has come in we have actually started to play good one-touch football. It it is too easy to criticize what is going on and to only 'sing while your winning'.

Don't think so. Who picked the teams? Who played Mikel instead of Meireles? Who did not subsitute Sturridge when he kept loosing the ball? Why didn't Luiz feature when he is suited for pacey teams? You are on denial.
Good call mate.
Luiz didnt feature cos he's a liability defensively. Mikel offers more than meireles defensively. Stop turning on the team so early in the season because any decent fan would believe that we can turn it round
Real fans wouldnt condemn their players...
rob
Original post: Real fans provide constructive critism no matter how painful it is. Maybe this is why we are falling behind MU and MC. Fergie and Manchini are the worst critics of the players as opposed to AVB who backs his players no matter what.
Mate constructive criticism isn't slagging the team off, it is saying what we could have done better. Obviously AVB made mistakes and he will learn from them and everyone needs to give the team a chance. And after reading what you wrote earlier, I have to disagree. Luiz didnt feature because he didnt deserve to, he conceded a penalty against QPR and also was probably at fault for bosingwa's sending off. He also was at fault for the penalty against everton. Also, Sturridge was substituted after a while, you cant sub one of are best performers off after 30 minutes just because he had had a few bad touches. So for this I have to agree with Rob

Why the f*** dont we play the line of def further back and no holding midfielder.

AVB, needs to get a grip here very quickly , today was a shambles especially in defence . It seems that he as no plan B and our midfield is predictable and slow. Mikel is easy to place against because he goes sideways and backwards other then that I don't know what else he does other then give away free kicks. Malouda is just pants one good game and 10 bad games does not warrant a contract ext in my eyes but some clown in the board can see no wrong in him. Won't say anything about Kalou because words cannot express how poor he his as a striker. If we don't sort this mess out that we call our midfield and defence , then its curtis before Xmas for us . Would love really to send this email o the players, AVB, Roman the Directors then the forum.
What is stopping you? It looks to me that Roman has some deluisional advisors around him. They leave in a bubble and they pretend that nothing needs changing. On the other hand what is AVB playing at? Who is selecting the team?
If you did send this post, they would think curtis is available in the January transfer window!

How can y7ou blame the keeper when the whole team left the goal keeper so exposed. What chance do you have when you conceed so many chances
Because he has had a dip in form that has reached a level to class him as pony , he would not make it in many premiership teams . so why should we accept it ! I want Chelsea to win things not be a home for over the hill goalkeepers .
The defending overall was pants, by both teams.
29 Oct 2011 16:13:25
A lot of rubbish on the bench and very little cohesion on the field , sack the board who ever give kalou, malouda , drogba , cech these ridiculous contracts , should go first and please take Kalou, malouda , drogba and cech with you ! Why sign players and loan them out ? why sign players like Kakuta that cant even get in a team on loan , just who hell is scouting for us , Harry Hill ?

Cech is costing us , my heart is in my mouth every time a team gets near our goal . I agree with some of the posts , we need to sort out this midfield and defense . We must have the worst defense in the premier , how can we expect to challenge for honours when we let goals in week in week out . I thought we were embarrassingly clueless today .
VERY VERY POOR show today. Boas aint got a clue. Thinks he's great but he is awful.
29 Oct 2011 15:59:03
did not see that coming,2 loses in a row,torres was useless today 50 mill well spent,your back four was shocking,chelsea are losing the fair factor.
You played better with 9 men! Just shows how poor you are, lack of desire, no midfield and a poor defence......oh dear.
29 Oct 2011 15:46:00
Even though i agree with some of the posts that cech was awful and probably had his worst game in a chelsea shirt, going as far as calling him a laughing stock is beyond crazy. still a world class keeper, just had a bad game. but all our problems are at the back. regardless of how s**t kalou, malouda etc are they arent costing us games - the back 4 are (even though it was malouda's crap pass today that lead to their goal). avb has to prioritise this now otherwise we are going to be in trouble all season
Don't you think he has had a lot of bad games of late !
29 Oct 2011 15:16:56
There is something bigger going on. AVB does not have the weight or presense to command respect and discipline from the players. If Roman is patient and is trying to build for th future then fine give him a shot but can forget trophies this year.
Just pull the trigger on him lol lol , just like ye always do lol . what about torres lads , he had a shocker , 50 million pounds , avb has a big problem there
^^LoL LoL!
29 Oct 2011 15:14:59
Been saying this for quite a while now , Cech is not up to it anymore and will costs us dearly. before you die hard's jump to his defense , ask yourself honestly how many premiership teams he would get in . on his form not a lot . How defense is all over the show , how midfield is slow and predictable and we are shipping goals for fun . to me this dont bode well . Why AVB keeps playing malouda and Mikel is any body's business and dont even start me on kalouless . Malouda had no reason to past back to Terry for their 4th goal but he his so far gone he couldn't think to attack , attack, attack because we need to win these games , so he went backwards . keeping the faith with AVB , but dont like or agree with some of his substitutions. get this goalkeeper Courtios back of loan asap , Cech , turnbull and hilario are all a laughing stock . malouda , Mikel , Drogba and kalouless need to be off loaded in jan , they wont go on to work miracles now that I can guarantee you . Soon we will have to write this season off because our midfield and goalkeeper .
29 Oct 2011 15:09:02
I am gutted, we were piss poor in the second half. In my opinion we desperatly need to sign several players in january as we had no one on the bench capable of turning it around. AVB will if given time sort out the team but i think we may be in for a few more beatings before he gets it sorted.
AVB is useless mate. The sooner everyone see's it the better of we will be. Time to get him out.
29 Oct 2011 14:56:40
Simply not good enough no matter what excuses they come up with. Team selection was wrong for the second match running i.e. AVB is out of his depth.
29 Oct 2011 14:53:32
loss to qpr and arsenal...
narrow win against everton in carling cup...
no consistency in players...
plethora of red and yellow cards in last few matches...
no immediate signs of marquee signing...
it is understandable that we are building for future, but we do need one or two establish players to bolster the team...
i think we need 3 players in january (centerback, right winger, central midfielder)...
send joshua, romelu, kakuta on loan...
sell anelka, alex, drogba, ferreria...
sign krasic, cahill, and some playmaker...
KINGS XI PUNJAB CHELSEA
Alex is a good player why are people all so desperate to sell him?
29 Oct 2011 14:53:08
For crying out load when is AVB going to realise Malouda is rubbish, he cost us the game today. And in my opinion Merieles should have started instead of mikel

Today is infinetly more troubling than the qpr game. Sturridge was absolutely awful. He held onto the ball too long. He never looked to pass and he could have had the easiest assist in the world if he would've played a square pass across to Torres. Torres wasn't great but you just have to think how different it might have been had he gotten a goal there. Ramires seemed to play like the Ramires of last year where he's all over the place but doesn't make a real impact. Bosingwas defensive liabilities were exposed again today but it's a situation where you have take his ability going forward into account. Cech was poor. Granted arsenal had a plethora of chances. He gave up some softer goals including two to the near post. Mikel was again pointless. Slows us down going forward and doesn't slow them down at the back. I am positive that miereles is a better fit in that situation because he makes things happen from the back. Also in all we've seen from romeu i would certainly give him a shot. Mata was again brilliant. Set up lampards and scored a cracker himself. I still think David Luiz gives you more than ivanovic. While he's made stupid errors like the qpr game (which to be honest was a questionable penalty) but at the same time has scored countless goals of great importance. Malouda was poor off the bench. Didn't give us any width when were in a 442 and played the horrible back pass that Terry fell on. Overall a pretty frightening display as a whole defensively.
Sturridge Is A Striker Being Given The Wid Roll and at The End Of The Day He Still Packs Goals For You
A Gooner
If you think about it resembles what RVP caree was like at arsenal use out wide until recently.
Well then I would suggest we find someone whose fit for that position.

Cant beat the little teams convincingly or regularly (QPR, Stoke) and concede a lot against the big teams + cant beat them (Man U 3 conceded, could have been more, Arsenal 5 conceded, could have been more). Unless we sort it out we are in for a long long season, and we will be fighting it out with Pool, Arsenal and Spurs for the champs league places rather than competing for the top prize. I was optamistic this morning, now i am concerned, 2 losses in a row and a lot of problems.
29 Oct 2011 12:55:40
Ive given up on sturridge ultimately becoming the answer at right wing. His greed makes Malouda seem like Santa Claus.
Agree. Lost count how many times he lost the ball.

Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal

Cmon the mighty blues I have 6 friends that are arsenal fans
