Just out of nowhere, I remembered this guy,He's such a good winger but not being utilized. Bad spell in Inter and he had to settle with Besiktas. I reckon he can do a decent job for us if we are going to offload some players this summer.

i saw bus parking there

Torres runs absolutely outstanding...he often want to play 1-2...but our current players...hardly play 1-2...Malouda...Lampard..Kalou all got chances to play 1-2 with him...Torres always at free space...once he understand Chelsea way...or Chelsea adapt to him...he will score...btw...KTBFFH!

Luiz, he is worth 21m. He can defend and can score too! watched the interview just now...he needs to improve one thing. His english. LoL.

nice game chelsea. luiz is the new blue beast haha. btw man city main mmg italian style la, defend all the way. only attack once they conceeded.

4 strikers rotation , tat was a good tactics by CA ... keep 4 strikers fresh n unleashed everytime we need ... we already saw all this partnership i think ..

torres-drogba
torres-anelka
torres-kalou
drogba-anelka
drogba-kalou
anelka-kalou

luiz post match interview: thank you chelsea, thank you. i don't think he even knows why he got the champagne either 

amazing game, i thought our approach play was a bit slow but it was patient and the emphasis was on retaining possession. at the end we had like 64 percent to their 36, and their gameplan was obviously to get at least a point. 1st goal came from a setpiece, scored by the brilliant luiz who won the foul and proceeded to head the ball in from didier's cross! he handled dzeko and the others with relative ease, and continues his mean streak against anyone who tries to dribble or hold the ball near him. this dude is even more aggressive than riccy, and possibly more of a 'psycho' so to speak. and i mean that in a good way 

i'm very disappointed in malouda though. i felt he intentionally ignored torres on a few occasions, trying his utmost best to find kalou instead, went for a shot/dribble from difficult positions and lost the ball in the process. don't know about u guys, but i wanted him subbed right about the 55th minute. notice how our play vastly improved when he went off? oh yes that's a direct consequence of him leaving the field imho. torres did okay, with the little amount of service that was provided to him and like i said before, we still lack that player who can consistently find his darting runs through the middle. lamps is not cutting it.

speaking of which our no.8 had a really really quiet game, but at least he upped his defensive ante in the second half. somewhere down the line i think he realised if he can't help in attack, he may as well put in a shift battling for possession in the middle.

there are two men of the match for me today, in the form of ramires and luiz. the man city players were too shocked to do anything after they realised ramires can actually dribble, and what a wonderful goal it was at the end of it! waltzed through the middle of their pen box like nobody was even there. roman would have particularly enjoyed that one, and its exactly what he wants our players to do more of. know what our owner's thinking after this match? "Hmmmmmm.....we need more brazilians!" 

credit as well to didier who put in a strong, physical display when he came on. that peach of a freekick which luiz headed in was pivotal in breaking down city's wall. i felt torres could've stayed on though.

i'd like to point out the importance of our setpieces when it comes to breaking down defensive teams..city are not the first to do this, and certainly won't be the last. we have towering defenders in the form of terry, alex, iva and luiz who can score goals with their head. i think carlo has been working on this aspect a little more, and we're seeing the results in the past two games, vs blackpool and now city. our gaffer also made the right subs today, and my minor gripe is only about malouda staying on the field for too long. so its third place, and slowly making our champs league spot even more secure. KTBFFH!!

city cant attack..

through their left, like the review said, silva and kolarov couldnt do nuts with Brana defending that flank.

through their right? even ronaldo had problems playing against ashley, milner had no chance.

through the middle. terry and luiz. pfft. nuff said
so basically our defense was superb last night, city rarely threatened as they were playing very negative football anyways, 3 CMs, mostly defensive against an equally good defensive record team is not the right tactic to use as described by pundits.

take it game by game, who knows what will happen at the end of the season?

= profit !!

gotta say that first goal was a thing of beauty. not many players could've slotted it right into the bottom corner from that position. it also shows he doesn't have much of a left-foot    honestly, i was expecting him to be bullied by those huge scotland defenders, but in the end he held himself up very well. quite a surprise.

brazil's coach menezes has said it'll be good for neymar's development to move to the epl. oh my. pele and about 80% of his native country are going to hate him for that statement. 
ramires was fantastic, and involved in the build-up to neymar's goal. a sweeping cross-field pass which found their leftback (i think), and overall a very solid display. won the ball just outside scotland's penalty area with some trademark closing down, and could've finished the move off himself by slotting the ball home. instead he tried to square the ball for future teammate neymar  but it got intercepted, unfortunately 

i think wat chelsea need now is player like robben n duff just like before. i love seing them switching n bombing the flanks.especially robben. now chelsea style of playing kinda boring. if cross, sure fail, now they wana breakthru the middle.

latest news says that Neymar has made a U-turn and says he has no desire to play in Europe.

how can a player says he would love to come to Chelsea a few days back and then change his mind so fast?

smells of black mail

Carlo won Manager of the month for March while our new brazilian superstar David Luiz won Player of the month. Congratulation to both of them.

daniel sturridge should be partnering torres for next season

my opinion on the last match....
lampard, malouda,anelka simply are past the primes....sell them...keep lamps(bench)

and we are not attacking down the flanks...we need world class wingers....marko marin(right),arjen robben(get him back)
and a decent central playmaker....don't think benayoun can cope...

my suggestion is to get kaka(creates magic)

i watched the second half and Benny is definitely the key to our attacking midfield. he deserves the number 10 and plays in the hole really well. he is very skillful with the ball and with Torres and Drogba making runs, its gonna give opponents a hard time.

according to the commentators, 40% of Chelsea's goals somehow is connected to Lampard, but Lampsy has lost that in the past few games. I think maybe Lampard should sit out the manu game, instead, put Benny in with Torres/Anelka partnering Didi up front. Ramires and Essien sitting back, making occasional bursts forward. but then manu will definitely defend and hit us on the counter. we'll definitely need some luck if we want to proceed in the Champions League
