3 things.

1. do you know what "mata" means in English from spanish?

2 i got battered on here for saying boswinga is good enough for chelsea when hes fit, malouda is good enough for left wing, what we need is a right winger, we should play 442, kalou is not good enough to start but is a good sub.

3. i slated anelka but he was good today, torres is not tough enough for the prem

Its nt that torres aint tough enough he doesnt get any balls played through the defence or any decent crosses but ur ryt we need a ryt winger, but havin mata would be ideal 2. and a creative mid is a deffo as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

'Mata' = Juan Manuel Mata García, and means nothing different. I was unsure on Bosingwa, but I'm glad he's showing his class so far this season. It's good to know we have a good alternative in Ivanovic too. I think Malouda isn't up to it; a few tap ins at the back post each season doesn't make him good enough to start. Anelka is a better play than him. Kalou out if possible in my eyes, but I'm not training with the squad daily. Torres has shown that he does have the strength - I think it's more about him getting in the right positions and service like it's been said already.

Suprisingly optomistic after another supposedly dodgy result, there goal was a gift for a start, had that not gone in who knows, nice to see we ground a result out, we've still got Luiz and Sturridge to come in regardless of who we sign, and personally i think a midfield 3 of Ramires, Oriol/Mikel, Modric, and a front 3 of Sturridge, Torres , Mata looks a bit mouthwatering, and then theres always the plan B of the old guard Lampard/Drogba/Anelka/Malouda who can come on and change any tight game, lets all get off there backs and SUPPORT the team and club

Once we have Sturridge back from suspension, mata and modric or moutinho I don't think there will be to much to worry about, them players will push out the dead wood or under performers, but shows AVB can change tactics and get the boys playing,

What is the likelihood of putting a bid in for Hazard if we get Mata?

A win but overall a disappointing one. I still feel malouda and kalou add nothing to the team. Anelka was impressive (compared to some others). Torres looked lively enough. Very impressed with Mikel, especially with what's going on. Also bosingwa and Ramires were good also.drogba was disappointing and looked slow. Cannot beleive Yossi wasn't brought on. Maybe a sign he is on his way?

I feel the signings of mata, Modric and another midfielder are vital (along with a CB if Alex leaves and Rajkovic fails to get his work permit).

Does anyone else think we are looking penalties far too much?

That Badger

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Yes i was also impressed by mikel good game for him and mata along with a creative mid are esential for our success

Agree0 Disagree0

Noticed the peno thing myself mate, first game aswel, hope it doesnt stick

ZOLA

Agree0 Disagree0

I wonder is it a tactic or just spontaneous. We don't want to be labelled a team of divers.

Agree0 Disagree0

You were impressed with Mikel? Seriously? He has to have the worst distribution I've ever seen, he struggles to complete a 10 yard pass I cringe every time he goes to pass the ball. He's not good enough I'm afraid, he constantly ball watches and doesn't track back with any urgency. I say give Oriol Romeu a chance when hes fit, he clearly will need a week or 2 off after playing all summer

Agree0 Disagree0

All this slagging of malouda and anelka by some supposed fans of the club I think a few apologise are in order. Nuff said

Believable2 Unbelievable5

I don't think one game is enough for them to start being praised, both of them, on the whole, weren't great, they were both very lucky to score. ramires also had an average game other than a few well-timed tackles, bosingwa on the other hand, had a great game and was our only source of width. if things are to improve we desperately need sturridge back. the purchase of juan mata should provide some much needed with and creativity.

Agree0 Disagree0

I disagree. Anelka was more lively than usual, and I would start him every time in the absence of Sturridge. I think Ramires was forced to all the running in midfield because Frank just wasn't really there for a lot of the game and Mikel is a very one-dimensional player. Torres looked to do too much because he was let down by a lack of support, AGAIN. He lost the ball a lot running in to 4-5 players. Bosingwa and Cole were forced to be our wingers and defenders - I know Chelsea play with 'wing backs', but still..

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes got a point to prove simple, thats all if he plays the next 5 games watch anelka drop of again.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Aug 2011 18:29:45
I wish we get rid of anelka as sooon as possible
Im so furious... Out of 5 passes only 2 would be right

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Really? MOM for me against West Brom, added that little bit of creativity that we offered

Agree0 Disagree0

I must say when malouda came on, i thought it would be for anelka and to be honest i would have done the same but credit to anelka he played better than he has for quite some time but if we are to challenge for titles this season, things have to improve and not just individuals but the team as a whole. we won that game with spirit and a bit of luck, this is good but it is not what champions are made of.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bosingwa was clearly MOM

watchn d westbrom match. modric alone wnt b enough 4 dis chelsea midfield cos lampard is actually doin nothing on d pitch.lamp is jst completin d numbers.thats my opinion plz feel free 2comment.thanks

Believable8 Unbelievable1

Same old chelsea this is horrible to watch, if were getting a new manager why not change the way we play and change some players. ridiculous

Agree0 Disagree0

Ya lampard is doing nothing, modric would honestly make a huge difference, and i also think mikel played well today and i also hope alex is gone before the end of the window because that was a horrid game for him. He looks so lazy and slow when he is playing its honestly ridiculous but im glad we got the 3 points

Matt-

Agree0 Disagree0

Lampard almost never moves with the ball. He looks like he doesn't know what to do on the ball. Being a regular starter at 33 is a bridge to far for super Frank.

Agree0 Disagree0

All he does is pass side 2 side. i would play mceachran instead, i bet thats the plan, wheel frank off of regular starts ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Countless miss-passes, loss of possessions, lack of co-ordination, and more...
which positions do you think ED, Chelsea needs to improve on?
More than forgettable performance against the team, we have defeated 10 last times at Stamford Bridge.
What can we expect from this team?
Signing just a winger and a playmaker will not do, I suppose.
Need to change all those on the middle and on the left and right of Torres.
If not thought in time, with 10 days remaining, there are many days waiting for we Blues fans to just put the hands on the head and wide open the mouth..
Good luck AVB..

Believable4 Unbelievable0

At least 3 signings are needed to shake up this team. But to be fair to our lads West Brom were very well organised.

Agree0 Disagree0

Left wing, right wing, cam, cm, rb

kalou started against w brom now pulled off before half time, this man should never start a chelsea game, hes a late sub only

Believable11 Unbelievable0

Kalou is the luckiest footballer alive because when he aint falling over is own feet or missing open goals he his giving the ball away cheaply , please Chelsea get rid of him and stop playing Lampard because he really has become a waste of space

Agree0 Disagree0

Lampards a legend you arseh*le, show respect.

Agree0 Disagree0

Another t**t that cant see beyond his rose tinted glasses when it comes to lampost I mean lampard . when his free kicks and corners beat the first player come back to me . if not , zip it

Agree0 Disagree0

When ever i see kalou on the team sheet i cringe and feel cheated , anybody else feel the same ?

Agree0 Disagree0

LAMPARD IS TOO SLOW AND PAST IT , YES HE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A CHELSEA LEGEND , BUT LETS BE HONEST HERE , HE WOULDNT GET IN MANY PREMIER TEAMS ON HIS LAST 6 MONTHS PERFORMANCES . HE HAS TO STOP TAKING FREE KICKS AND CORNERS BECAUSE HAS SOMEBODY PREVIOUSLY STATED HE CANT BEAT THE FIRST PLAYER.

Agree0 Disagree0

GET RID OF KALOULESS , HE KEEPS FALLING OVER HIS OWN FEET AND PASSING TO THE OPPOSITION , PROPER YANK

Agree0 Disagree0

Please AVB stop playing kalou , he looks like a new born dear that cant stand up and falls over his own legs , enough , is enough . the general cconsensus is that most Chelsea fans are completley fed up with him. {Ed018's Note - how many times you gonna post something about negative Kalou or Lampard today.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Its cost £ 60 .00 to watch these people play . do you get my drfit ?

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Aug 2011 17:59:17
We should have not took so much time and been aggressive in transfer window and got players in ready for start of season not be playing west brom a goal down and looking terrible, mikel kalou Anelka? Really Drogba must be laughing being dropped and seeing how they perform, hurry up lukaku and mata and anyone else

Believable4 Unbelievable0

20 Aug 2011 17:37:45
Hey. Kind of irrelevant but does anyone know where you can listen to live streams of the chelsea matches usually? My broadband is acting way to slow to watch it. Any help is much appreciated.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

20 Aug 2011 17:05:07
not a rumour just want to have a moan, lukaku not on the bench, and kalou is starting again, i honestly dis like kalou so much.. what does avb see in him, honestly?

Believable8 Unbelievable1

With Sturridge back and Mata in, Kalou wont be starting week-in-week-out. I don't think AVB sees much in him at all.. it was a tos up between him and Malouda as to who took the final space in the front 3.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kalou was subbed after31 mins n I didn't thnk malouda was that bad

Agree0 Disagree0

Kapooo and maupoo da should are shockinginly bad {Ed018's Note - why don't you give it a rest for today. you must have sent in 20 posts today that are just tearing our players apart.}

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Aug 2011 14:12:50
Please can we stop all the Mata questions? He is close to joining, understand? Most of these stupid questions can be answered if you bother to type it into google.
Mr. Chelsea.

I think it's nice to see that the Chelsea powers-that-be are listening to the scouting staff when it comes to Mata/Hazzard. In the past it's been pretty clear that decisions have gone over the head of most in the club and Rom has been the main decision maker. I think it shows a maturity and some professionalism which has maybe been missing or lacking slightly in previous seasons. Optimistic for this year. :)

hi ed this must do your head in, its a no win situation people want players then we eventually sign them then they wont another player {NEVER ENDING)

Cech
Luiz Alex Terry Cole

Ramires Modric Lampard

Sturridge Torres Mata

Sorted

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Sturidge or lukaku, a realistic team that looks really good n well balanced

Agree0 Disagree0

Swap lampard for mceachran

Agree0 Disagree0

I sense the fear in europe

Agree0 Disagree0

Mceachran isn't ready to be a starter, he's even admitted that himself. Swapping him and Lamps for cup games, when Frank's injured or later on in a game when we need fresh legs is more realistic. That team looks realistic to me, with a solid bench as well.. except Luiz at right back. I'm thinking Luiz centre back and Ivanovic/Bosingwa right back.

Agree0 Disagree0
