was proven to be the best after makalele. mikel still have a lot things to learn before he can par up to essien's level. look on how calmly he control the central most crucial area

well deco was a good defense breaker when he got the time to do it. while ballack had an advantage over aerial battle. he also can sniff out even a tiny opportunity to create a path to glory on the net. as usual, essien was proven the best replacement for our former c makalele. he fought and played well. this time he pays us well.

pool were famous as the fastest counterattacking teams that is capable of turning the table around at the very last moment. i guess CA has create a good plan for this. indeed he's very good in this kind on tactical battle.

something had been set up by mr CA here. pool's vital most dangerous weapon wasn't able to be launched. nice one CA

good night bros..am off to bed...woohoo tonight's gonna be a good night

HIDDINK TO RETURN TO CHELSEA

not confirmed, could be a wild rumor but just thought u guys should know

i want zola here... don't care if he comes here as coach

as i posted here before, mikel was originally not a defensive midfielder ala 3rd cb like makelele before.. he was told to play that position during mourinho era for some reason.. he actually is a box to box midfielder which shone along with messi during youth world cup before.. i would like him to be given a chance to fulfill his potential since there must be a reason why man utd and chelsea fought for his service before

zola having a tough time now, west ham still looming around relegation zone. but i think he will pull things together soon. give him more time at west ham for managerial experience.

for me he still got a lot of things to learn. of course as a chelsea player i gave my faith on him. he still can tweak something up his sleeves and yet he can also be a good player. i mean a very important player like the other blues. but time is running out. with your team and arsenal at their top forms. any tiny error could cause a huge impact on our team. lucky CA learn it fast, like the old english way.

as for mikel. he's good. he's consistent but at time like this we need a solid player who can play a major part on securing the good 3 points.

DROGBA & HILARIO Post Match Comment.

oh yeah... another win.
Drogba do not disappoint.

im with you on this

it doesnt have to be lucas but it can be mascherano.

I agree with that. Essien's a beast, and Mascherano tackles brilliantly. To be honest, I think John Terry deserves the MOTM better than Drogba. Try counting the amount of times Terry headed away our crosses and long searching balls into the penalty area. Also, his block on Gerrard frustrated me, but it really was excellent defending. Drogba was good, but MOTM? Nah..

Congrats Great Job Chelskis (its an endearing term OK). Drogba is my man!

Hear! Hear! .

Drogba is not a Diver. When you get hacked by the likes of Carra & Skrtel you get stung momentarily if not bruised. Every hack needs to be brought to attention besides needing a couple of minutes to recover from the stings. He's justified to go down IMO..


Else Chelsea will runaway with the title.

are u nuts. hilario was awesome tonight. he saved loads of shots! the free kick, numerous times putting his body on the line to punch the ball out.

hilario deserves at least an 8.

oh man terry was awesome tonight. i lost count the number of balls he headed away from the box.

iva wasnt very impressive today but i appreciate the work he put in. have to give credit to iva and ashley for all those well timed tackles against the opposing flanks.

OUR MIDFIELD POWERHOUSE OWNED THE MIDFIELD! BALLACK DID GREAT TONIGHT.

drogba and anelka? world class play tonight. two awesome assist by the ivorian and superb finishing by the frenchman. reina had no chance.

yeah! u just remind me, how he saved gerrard long volley... that was awwsome man, but i still dont rate him much, he's a bit shaky on the 1st

half(remember that free kick? very bad timing)... but, he's starting to get the momentum after that.. kasi UP sikit rating... Hilarious - 6
