Not many to make is there? Bring on Moses I suppose. Getting nervous, but I believe in Torres!

Chelsea wont even finish in the top six this season, and thats the sad fact of it here....

We could be playing for weeks and not score at this rate. Torres has not scored in over 10 hours:eek:

In what way did he underestimate fulham, ridiculous statement. As pathetic as it is thats pretty much the best team avaliable to him right now.

Mata was the only player that tried to do something.

Torres was turgid but unlucky with the volley, Hazard has regressed badly:mad:

Said it a few days ago got derided we should give Islam at least a spot on the bench. He cannot do worse than Nando Einstein was sooooo right

You really have to laugh though.
We've spent 80 million on creative attacking players to provide goals for Torres.
Add 50 million for Torres and that means we could have bought Cavani AND Falco and still had change

Plus weve gone from exciting but sometimes losing football, but scoring goals to boring 0-0's

Only at Chelsea!

Anyone who knows anything about football could see Haz has not had a decent game for ages. But our interim manager leaves our most consistent performer on the bench. We are playing for fourth the best we can hope for

Dreary performance but I do pity the players because it is tough to score against a well organised Fulham side who are content to sit back and counter attack but it's the stuff top teams must do, however top teams rarely play without a striker and that is the case with us right now.

Remember all those times Drogba tore Senderos apart? He looked like bloody Nesta reborn out there against Torres tonight. Tight games, tough games you need your striker to produce a bit of magic and Torres seems entirely incapable of that. I wasn't sold on getting a strike in January, overpriced and, probably, ineligible for the Champions League but the last few weeks have changed my opinion completely, a striker is desperately needed as soon as possible.

Season only starts in jan when we have a full squad that includes strikers.

Need a solid central midfielder big time too. We don't have any imposing players that dominate games. Ramires isn't in same league as the class of player we need there. We were constantly trying to go through batallians of players in the middle, that just isn't going to work.

As was said above, Hazard has gone back big time. Oscar was out of it in 2nd half. Marin looked sharp when he came on, would like to see him start the next day. Nothing wrong with dropping Hazard next day, might wake him up. Torres was more lively than previous, but that's all can be said there.

Chelsea, as a team and squad has gone backwards.
We miss Terry - his drive and leadership and even Lamps.
We have no players like them.
For all the money we have spent, we are a squad thats overloaded in some positions and woefully bare in others
We have no shape, no formation and no ideas

All because I think, we keep firing managers, who would bring a long term vision to the club and plan accordingly

We are as far away as we have ever been, and still the ghost of Mourinho hangs over us.
He was a manager with a plan and got the personal to suit that plan

Forget Pepe, go get Mourinho, Roman!

I admire your optimism and I would love to share it.

As Sarge says its not Rose tinted glasses but we need Jose in a huge way.
