Every man and his dog has realised that Torres is a poor striker ED002 what have you made of his performances even you surely must be so frustrated with him? {Ed002's Note - I have no particular views on the matter.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

ED can i ask a question .... {Ed002's Note - Sorry, I have no interest in answering such questions on a public forum.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002, have any clubs shown an interest in taking Torres? If so which clubs?

Cheers

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - To the best of my knowledge, there have been no approaches amde to Chelsea regarding Torres.}

Agree2 Disagree0

I know you don't like talking money, but at a guess, would you say an offer of around £10m would be acceptable to the club?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - Sorry, but I have no interest in discussing such matters.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on Melbourne mate who on earth is going to take Torres he would not get in any other top 6 side in the Prem any team would be mad to trust him to lead the line.

Agree1 Disagree0

Haha it was more of a question in hope than anything else no name. I thought I worded the second question to a t ed002, thanks anyway.

Melbourne CFC

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely you're not going to sell him so cheap after paying 50m for him less than 2 years ago, Melbourne?

cozinoz

Agree0 Disagree1

I wouldn't think Roman would coz, but if it were up to me, he could leave for free. Well and truly past it. No longer even offers the assists he did last year. Just hurts our play. Hurts me to say it, but you were right mate.

I hate Benitez and his friggin' defensive tactics , but really I watch our games hoping to see some die hard performances but what do I get everyone strolling and acting like they couldn't care less. Slow passing, not fighting for every ball. Cause we might have the talent but we lack the right attitude to win a football game. I mean its like we show every team too much respect. Dang it even at the bridge?! it was never RDM's fault. we didn't get another striker , we loaned Essien without replacing him and when performances drop he gets the blame and gets chopped. we lack consistency, we lack the understanding in the club at least when we had Drog, Lamps fit so also JT with ash and cech we could scrap wins but now we have no leader, no one to drive the young lads on the pitch. With what I've seen of Oscar, Hazard and Mata they could be getting our gals without a striker but they've all dropped a bit of form cause it almst feels like the believe,understanding and drive had gone and t be honest Benitez isn't gonna bring it back. I'm worried and really iwe might be keeping clean sheets now but we aint scoring either so nw ask your selves what the difference is in the playing style after getting all these young offensive talent when we rather play a LB at LW.
P.S. Romeu was a lot better than Mikel at least that's a positive.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Why dont you show some respect to a man who is idolised as a genuine person at Liverpool, is respected for his sheer tactical genius and who quite frankly, is far too good for Chelsea football club..especially with supporters like you, my friend

Tel 1949

Agree8 Disagree7

P#*s Off

Agree4 Disagree2

He never showed us respect Tel and we never wanted him here. Now he is here, he must earn our respect. So far his 'sheer tactical genius' has not been seen. He said his aim was to win every game, he set up today not to lose. We are very much entitled to our opinions on a man, who is the past has expressed some strong ones about us as fans.

Why don't you just worry about the relegation battle you face!

Melbourne CFC

Agree5 Disagree1

Ofc they all dropped in form, they are being played every freaking match and they are expected to win every single match they are in too. There is only so much you can rely on, but Oscar and Mata is best at assisting Strikers not goals that is why we need a striker.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Nov 2012 22:44:11
Oh and what's with that orange tie Rafa? Going Holloway? Hull's one division down. Where you belong. Nice to see your taking us to your level, not the other way around it.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

28 Nov 2012 22:06:41
Quite pissed off at the moment and trying to reflect without having a rant that can't be posted. All the fans seen this coming the way he has played with his previous clubs and he tore Inter to dissaray in no time.The thing is the owner and board have made this decision and us fans are going to have this for the next 7 mths. RDM had his failings but the team would have had a go and gave us a more exciting season. 7 behind utd already. I know Thommo on sky is a scouser but he described it as poor and not looking good and not good enough for Chelsea. I think we might have to get used to that this season now.

28 Nov 2012 22:05:50
i cant remember us having one clear cut chance in the past two games.

Jordan {Ed018's Note - well we have only had 4 shots on targets}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Actually ed...we had 17 shots 4 on target..
is that a mangers porblem...
if so..then i am gonna kick ma coach..coz even my shots are going wide... {Ed018's Note - i know, thats what i said}

Agree0 Disagree0

When is somebody go to sit down with the waiter & tell him, that we are not liversmall. We try to win games & trophy's, we are not a mid table side, trying to survive.
And can I have a beer & some onion rings, please.

Believable9 Unbelievable2

28 Nov 2012 21:58:52
Ok I'm trying to think of positives, none really come to the fore. Marin got 10 minutes? Azpillicueta looked good again? Clean sheet? Lukaku scored, honestly the only real positive and he doesn't play for us ATM.

Now the negatives. Somehow in a month we have lost the spark we had at start of the year. We have a manager who plays a defensive line up against our local rivals, who have had 16 goals scored against them in 7 away games. We have a stadium that is now constantly on edge and refuses to get behind the team. We have a defence that is as shaky as any in the league when countered. We have a LB playing LW. We can't play the ball quickly from defence to offence due to having a striker on the books, who couldn't give a sh*t about anyone but himself, when he, himself is the problem. We have no creativity in the team, yet we have one of the most creative minded attacking trios in Europe.

I will never lose faith in my Chelsea, but I will never have faith in Rafa!

Melbourne CFC

Believable8 Unbelievable1

Or Torres!

It's time to give up on him

Agree6 Disagree0

M8 we cant use our creativity to rubbish with no striker, who are they gonna pass?

Agree5 Disagree0

28 Nov 2012 21:52:46
oh how about you all go and back the manager, will you? He'll implement the discipline and will get Fernando Scorless scoring again. Once. Maybe. Support the MANAGER!!

You know what Roman? Fire your whole board and your bunch of hangers you call advisers or whatever and hire professionals again, will you?

cheers rafa made a nice few quid ,just new that would be one big bore draw,ed002 said he would go if he didnt win in his first 6 games just 4 more draws to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ktbffh

Believable5 Unbelievable0

28 Nov 2012 21:45:55
aside from that display why is it that we never get any space and the other team can drive a bus thru us {Ed018's Note - because for the most part we still play to slow and we have a forward that can't hold the ball or get on to through balls}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

28 Nov 2012 21:42:48
I am so glad he played a left back on a wingers position and a forward that is next to useless, and i tought Roman & FSW wanted to win games.

It's appalling how we are playing so defensively against FULHAM and not allwong fullbacks to come forward, so it cost us points against easy teams we should beat 0-4 without even scoring a goal.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

28 Nov 2012 21:42:08
Rafa sacked, yet?

JG

Believable5 Unbelievable0

28 Nov 2012 21:39:28
defend that ed. {Ed018's Note - defend what. I see your other post. Nobody on here has said Rafa was great. All that's been said was to support the manager. I'm very unhappy about the result, unhappy with starting a left back at left wing, and watching a team who looked like they didn't care out there. I never wanted Rafa here over Di Matteo but it is what it is now}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Ed, would you think Chelsea search for a new manager will start a lot sooner if results continue like this? {Ed018's Note - I have no idea to be honest. Poor results can only go on for so long.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Ed018, that question was not aimed at you. You are always loyal to the core, for this club. It's remarks by other eds, we all know who. Again I apologise to you

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Nov 2012 21:37:30

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Oscar plays better and better but it dosent help when no one is there to help him, Hazard is not doing well and havnet done for a while.
Torres get worse and worse and soon he wont be able to run on the pitch.

Agree3 Disagree1

28 Nov 2012 20:34:28
Rafa is obviously going to be really happy with a draw tonight, embarrassing and boring!

Believable6 Unbelievable3

What the hell does Bertrand offer attacking compared to Moses, Marin and the person he replaced Mata. Awful from Rafa.

So from the most creative attacking threat, to the most rigid, organised, predictable, slow attacking build up in the league. 'I wont to win trophies' well you're not going to win one with these shocking tactics. I don't even enjoy watching us play, thanks Rafa.

We are at home, and we have a defensive left winger? Absolute joke!

Melbourne CFC

Believable4 Unbelievable0

At home against fulham

Is Marin being used as a squad player or is he having a hefty recovering from injury?

JD {Ed002's Note - Pretty much all players are used as squad players.}

dnt know bout anyone else but i was really impressed with rafa post match interview on chelsea tv after the city game! you can tell he is very tatically aware, by the way he was pointing out where we went wrong and wot needed to be done!


kevinCFC

Believable1 Unbelievable2

28 Nov 2012 14:24:37
Ed do you know why Marin is not being used at all? He has been back and available for a while now. Is he training poorly? Is there an attitude problem? Hazard could do with a kick up the backside in my opinion so would like to see Marin come in for him tonight. Many thanks. -James13. {Ed002's Note - He is squad member who has been injured.}

what does everyone think of the possibility of having double the amount of teams in the champions league and scrapping the europa league?
Personally i think it is a great idea

Jordan

Believable1 Unbelievable7

Then there will be much more mediocre team

Agree3 Disagree0

It will help smaller clubs improve. There are also lots of teams not in the champions league who are far better than teams in it currently.

Jordan

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Nov 2012 14:47:38
Great idea if your an arsenal fan, means they can finish 7th, wenger will think it's as good as wining trophies! DJ

Agree4 Disagree0

Well if they are mediocre then Chelsea should have no problem in getting past them?

Agree3 Disagree0

It wil mean alot more games for every club, that can be a huge problem as they already playing quite alot of games.

Agree4 Disagree0

I think they should get rid of the carling cup, and just have the fa cup

Agree2 Disagree1

28 Nov 2012 10:39:01
not transfer relalated but my team for tonight, i believe we need to return to our 4-3-3. and would play as follows
cech
azpili ivan cahill cole
mikel
rami oscar
mata torres hazard

Believable4 Unbelievable6

That is the same formation just slightly different on paper
