Let's not concede a second before half-time now.

f*** me that bench is horrific.

Oh, I remember there was talk of an unbeaten season for them on this very forum as well.

Yet he's made to play for our reserves. Jay must be absolutely gutted.

Chelsea do look good. They looked the same against Sunderland away, creating openings at will. They would be tough to pip to the title even without our dismal start and internal problems.

Yep, 3-0. Drogba x 2 + Lampard.

The curve ball is that we have re-signed Xabi and Sami and they will be in the team today. We will also go unbeaten for the rest of the season.

Since Molby left? I also thought he was one of or better players until that oggie wrecked his confidence.

Who was it again that was planning to physically hurt them two? Time to revisit that thought, perhaps

Robben

In a creative sense he doesn't. Ok, no vision is probably overstating it, but you have to be blind not to see that vision/creativity is something where Javier is lacking a bit. We always struggle when he's the one taking the responsibility of a "playmaker" for want of a better word. When he has the ball in the opposing half and runs out of options, he often just blasts it 5 metres wide, whereas someone like Alonso would give it to a teammate, move get it back etc. an carve out openings that way. Stevie often shoots as well, but then he can score from anywhere, so that's understandable. He also doesn't have any attacking responsibilities for Argentina due to his role and capabilities.

Well, that's a fact. He's the best in the world at harrying opponents and making tackles etc. He's no better than Salif Diao* in his passing, shooting and creativity. *might have exaggerated there a bit , but the point remains

Snoogie Doogie Degen Alonso

Mascherano should never have to do anything with the ball other than give it to the playmaker. Ever.

This was the most unexpected turn of events after the start we had.

f***

6 points behind this early in the season. We'll have to be absolutely amazing for the rest of the season to be challenging this year.

Need more than that to win. 3 goals in 8 mins. Not going to happen.

We've soon lost as many games as last season.

Gerrard made about 3 similar challenges in the previous 15 seconds. Really stupid.

That's it I suppose. f***ing f***ing f***.

Idiot Gerrard

f***ing get at them lads!
