no i meant this season..all his penalty is going to left bottom corner..
one more thing, i didnt blame him..just highlighting the stats
quite decent save by given that day imo..if given dive to the wrong way, ppl surely wud say it was a great pen tho..i reckon

Our performance getting worse...
And I am quite worry about our player morale..
After the 2defeat and 1draw,we lost our confidence,morale..
We should really bounce back asap

where's our best defense? Conceded 7 goals in 3 games??!?

WAKE UP~~

didn't watch the match, so can't give a thorough analysis. based on what i've read though yuri and kakuta both had very good games. carlo was quite upset with our display even though it was meaningless on the night, which shows he wants us to start racking up those 3 points again. however of all the players he singled out kakuta for praise, and that speaks volumes of our manager's faith in him. another contender for the tip of the diamond. joey and deco had better watch out.

cant really blame lampard. Given is damn outstanding this season. Like in the manchester derby, city defense was aweful. But united still cant score because of shay given... next game against everton another 4-0?

i also didnt watch the match but from reports, it seems mikel lost his concentration again. i'm not sure what mikel trying to prove now. he already given the chances but he didnt performed well. late tackles.. lost possesion although he has great strength.. poor in passing..

i really hope he can improve his performance more. imo, he is in the same mold as ballack. i like ballack but i wish soon he can be replace by mikel. he has so much potential. what a waste if cannot use it all in every game

i watched the game. mikel was solid over all. uses his huge body and strength to shield and hold. only one last minute mistake of his cost us the game. im not defending him, any player in Chelsea should know that they should not make any mistake as we're gunning to win all competitions. so unfortunately, his mistake cost us 3 points. he was indeed very disappointed with himself after we conceded the equalizer. if they dont buck up, its not gonna be a tougher race than it already is.

i think d diaomond formation is not working... i believe with JC back n malouda fit, we should go to 4-3-3

Top of the group definitely, but the other 2nd place teams are no cannon fodder. The likes of AC Milan, Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow and maybe Lyon/Fiorentina, Barca/Inter, Sevilla/Stuttgart and Olympiakos await us in the Round of 16.

wow..its like 50% chance we will face europe top gun in the round of 16. hopefully can get the smaller team but i really doubt it. if you all remember during JM era,we always 'accidentally' pitted with barca.i think it will be no different this time.

personally, i think they somehow already 'pre-determined' on which team we will face next. i dont know how to explain this. maybe it is just my gut feeling hehe btw, i think we will be pitted against barca or inter. my reason, UCL governing body always looking for some drama in the competition. competing us against our former boss surely can heat up something. and a replay of last season UCL semi-final with barca also will rock the world haha

lets pray my prediction is not true and we will face 'easier' team. no man utd, no barca, no inter, no ac..let them finish of each other hehe

....mmm if we get barca..it will b....the match of the year....lol...headlines will b terry vs ibra hahakz
haha..i dont mind if we get barca....we nearly knock them out last year...
carlo might wana do that..this time...

barca/inter for next match is good . i want that.

Instead of the usual Kun links...

Suarez denies signing pre-contract

to be fair to mikel, he admitted his mistake and i'd like to point out he had a great game when called upon vs city. gave the midfield more steel and shape, as well as proving he can make more than a couple of accurate attacking passes! i was quite surprised myself.

i don't think there's a chance of that happening. carlo has mostly stuck to the diamond since pre-season and the lads are building their familiarity with the system. no point changing it halfway and forcing the lads to 'relearn' their roles and positions. do note that we've scored in every game this season. not an easy feat and i believe we're the only team top 4 that's done it. we just need to regain that tenacity in our defense and finishing.

hoho that's something new. certainly read the story with interest this morning. goal.com insists we've got his signature in a pre-contract though. cites various dutch media as 'proof.' its still goal.com though. however if it materialises, it'll only prove one thing. kenyon and gourlay have been tracking my posts on lyn. lol

Looks like Essien has a tear in his hamstring and will be our for 3-4 weeks

I for one would like to see Flomo and Joey in the starting line up against Everton.

and we can now choose from;

Bayern - Grp A
CSKA - Grp B
Milan - Grp C
Lyon - Grp E
Inter - Grp F
Stuttgart - Grp G
Olympiakos - Grp H

I think every group winner wants to get the Grp H runners-up!

bring on Inter. let's see Jose vs Carlo

we already played inter in the pre season friendlies once. just bring on anybody! we have to beat anyone if we want to win the champions league anyways.

ageed with Kerplunk on the need to stay the way the team is playing now. our team is bless with superb wingback so, why not use them to their highest potential? by playing in diamond formation, they will be used to the fullest. for me, i strongly feel our diamond formation really depend on the player at the top of the diamond aka the attacking player. i'm not saying that the anchor man (essien) is not important but in epl, we have one of the, meanest defense. at start of season, we rely on deco. but now, his performance has dropped. maybe the team should use joe cole more. deco can go on rotation with ballack. it is a waste for not using joe cole ability and speed.

as for ucl, i think we will meet with milan. carlo will meet his former players or worse, we will meet inter. btw, still 50-50 to meet the top guns..
