    Your doing it wrong.

    You gotta say, I'm showing my support for the draw or G'wan the draw. Also you gotta say it in match threads.

    dont worry ill b doing it right soon enough

    but if one team has to win, I would like to see chelsea trash pool.

    I also think glen will be found out at the weekend for the poor defender he is ;)(bite mr alan)

    He will have some job anyway. Even if Cole is out Zhirkov will bomb at him. Lampard will probably pick on him too.

    I think this is much more likely to happen if A Cole is playing, though I wouldn't mind seeing Zhirkov having a go

    I'll side with this guy a bit - ManU won the comp last year with only 4 losses (Arsenal, Liverpool A, Liverpool H, Fulham), Chelsea lost 6 matches (Liverpool H, Arsenal H, ManU A, Liverpool A, Tottenham A, Arsenal A, *Sunderland A)

    From this I would see losing to anyone of the non big 4 clubs a HUGE dent to the season.

    * - this loss was the last match of the season and win/loss had no effect on Chelsea's final position

    I also reckon Liverpool will kick Chelsea's arse next week but if the Blues win I'll be chuffed.. just totally chuffed.


    Are there actually Chelsea Fans on this thread ? because its starting to sound like there aint ! Doom and gloom merchants the lot of you !


    Man U firstly, have already lost a game to Burnley, so what ! does not mean they have no chance of winning the league now does it ? Same also goes for Chelsea and in my opinion Liverpool .

    I could not believe the amount of Liverpool fans saying that they no longer had a chance because they lost two.

    My view on the match is if Torres is well marshaled the game should easily be within Chelseas reach.

    Gerrard is like Lampard on his day he can be the best in the world although neither have set the world on fire so far this season.

    I think Jamie Carragher is a huge liability lately from what I have seen , again this is only my opinion , John Terry is also not a very fast player but he reads the game so well and is always two steps ahead. I think all over the park Chelsea have players equal to the Liverpool players and better in a lot of cases with the exception of the wonderful Torres .

    I am happy enough that Cech is not playing as he has been very poor this season , pretty much the same as last season , I cant remember a game where he commanded the box like he used too, You can still see the lack of confidence every time he goes up for a ball, the quick glance to see if anything is challenging him in the air which takes his eye off the ball.

    The match on Saturday was down to complacency , and the sending off.
    I was over at the Bridge for the game against QPR and the team had a look about them that if they just turned up they would get the result , no real passion about the play , loosing 50/50 balls all nite , wayward passing . Qpr were very unlucky not to grab a goal.

    Chelsea are usually very strong in the second half this season but with the sending off it made that a very hard task especially when your chasing a game. From what I have seen it was a sending off , but on another day the ref mite have said A.Cole had got back in time to be the last defender .

    is this before or after he pretends he is dead and has to go off the pitch for treatment, and costs us a goal while he is off.

    Sure he i a decent striker but when he is in a mood he is so frustrating to watch, its too much to relay on drogba too. if you put drogbe in front of goal for ten min alongside torres torres will score more! hate to say it but tis true

    2-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭ShoulderChip


    I do not know.

    I would love to see a surprise Zhirkov making a start,even more so if it was instead of anelka so we played 4-5-1 with essien behind lamps and ballack behind cole and zhirkov

    but then again maybe 2 strikers would be a good idea against their dodgy? ventrebacks

    I hope Drogba scores 4 goals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,852 ✭✭✭homer simpson


    over the moon with the result, great preformance from a few players, essien was my MOM, halario getting MOM on sky he was good but far from MOM, Drogba was good and bad today i just wish he'd keep it more good like the setting up of the two goals, but the lying down and diving is disgracefull, i was watching the game with a liverpool fan and found a few times we were both shouting get up at drogba!

    Still well done all round, lets keep it up , international break came at the wrong time me thinks.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,956 ✭✭✭CHD


    Top of the league

    Well done. Good performance by Chelsea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Great result, but I didnt really enjoy the the game. We played some great passages of football which overall done over liverpool. I really thought Hilario was fantastic in goals today, plucked balls out of the air and kept it safe, fair feckin play to em.

    Yeah!! Been a year since we have seen a keeper pluck the ball out of the air confidently and by the end i wasn't nervous about a keeper jumping at all, felt weird!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭selpher


    Very happy with the performance. Ballack's pressence in the midfield really makes a difference. Last 2 game without him were shakey. Amazing to think that we can still add Cole and Zhirkov to that team today. A 4-5-1 with those two in it would be great to see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭mudokon


    I thought a draw was on the cards for this game so I'm delighted with the result. A great performance all round.

    Hilario made some great saves to keep us in the match, the save from Riera's shot was excellent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,852 ✭✭✭homer simpson


    i know the keeper made some good clearances and saves but does anyone else not remember him almost gifting liverpool a goal from a freekick the ball was heading in with no great pace(it was ment to be a cross) at it took him forever to react, i think the ball was almost in the 6yard line before he reacted, sure he was good but not deserving of the amount of praise he is getting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,070 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    Was delighted with yesterdays result.
    hilario made some very good saves, was pleased for him to get a clean sheet under his belt.
    have to admit when i first seen the team sheet, seen Boswinga wasnt playing thought "oh ooh", as i wondered if Ivanovic would perform, have to say he did a great job. The stand out performances for me came in the shape of Terry and Carvalho, I thought they both did excellently yesterday.Ashley Cole put in a very daycent performance, he had Lampard helping him out too so feck all was getting past them two.

    when i seen Deco, i had wondered why Malouda hadnt started instead. I was pleased to see deco doing his bit, a few passes went astray but he was probing away as best he could. Essian put in another very good performance as did Ballack. Lampard played more defensively in this game, me and a mate joked that if Ashley ever gets injured, Lampard could very near fill in for him!

    Anelka and Drogba both did their bit, Anelka took his goal well, Drogba, dispite the excessive falling down nearly dead sh1te he goes on with fairly got in the Liverpools defence faces.both these can create goals as well as take them so i think they are a force to be reckoned with.

    Was strange to see the bench and think, jaysus theres a few there would could come on and change the course of this game if needs be. ew had plenty of attacking players to choose from. all in all, a good result, cant fault any player throughout the course of the game, every one of them did their bit yesterday against a top 4 side, we got the result we wanted, and we got it convincingly.
    my 2 cents-happy days!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭berengar


    Very very happy ...

    Ancellotti has passed the 1st big test ...

    great result... great performance ... thats 1 / 4 of the big 4 beaten ...

    next Aston Villa will be a tough game though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 947 ✭✭✭LanceStorm


    delighted and proud to be wearing my jersey today in work and rubbing the victory in liverpool fans faces!!

    would have liked to see zhirkov or cole get a run out, but you cant question a win, he made the right choices!! they'l get a run against villa hopefully instead!!

    all i got off liverpool fans all saturday night was a huge torres is better than drogba debate that i fought 10 vs 1, now facebook just says "did you see torres goals? no?? neither did i!!"

    Why didn't Bosingwa play on Sunday?

    Is he injured or was Ivanovic just preferred ahead of him?
