So close! COME ON CHELSEAA

I watched the full match by stream, unluckily, my connecetion was very slow and it lagging all the way. I can't watch the match properly.

Our midfield had a shameful performance. Torres Drogba combo is good. I don't know what happen to our marking on Rooney's goal. Terrible defending.

As HumbleCMY said, the finishing are all disgusting. Lampard should score that one and Torres was a bit unfortunate today.

I still believe we have 2nd leg to win. Come on! We need to buck up our midfield. MIDFIELD. Do something Carlo.

I will watch MU match all over again tomorrow and I will give my reviews.

Regarding Wigan match, I think Carlo is trying to stick with 442. Play Anelka and Kalou forward, rest lampard.

Anelka-Kalou
Malouda-Essien-Ramires-Benayoun
Cole-Terry-Luiz-Iva
Cech

Hopefully benayoun can start and Ramires take over the attacking midfield post.
If we can bring in a wing, I would like to see we play 4231 in the future.
-------------------Torres------------
Zhirkov/Malouda-Ramires-Benayoun
-------------Essien-Lampard/Josh------
Cole-Terry-Luiz-Iva
Cech

If Zhirkov,Malouda and Benayoun do not perform, we have to buy wings at the both flanks. Aww, I miss Mourinho Robben and Duff era.
IMO,4231 fit us quite well. Drogba can play behind torres then move Ramires to the right.
If Anelka can play well, then he can replace zhirkov/malouda place.

No. I don't want to switch back to 433. It only works when Malouda on top form. I don't prefer Lampard playing at left forward though.

The problem now is, Malouda and Zhirkov. They are having difficult time now. I don't know what happen. But obviously, Zhirkov is A LOT better than Malouda. Zhirkov should run a bit wide to stretch our play.

Lampard should try to pass the ball properly and Essien have to stop doing all the clumsy tackles.Nothing wrong with Ramires really.

Drogba-Torres is the best combo now. I hope both of them can play tonight to build their form. I don't think fitness is a problem for them.

If we play 451, make sure we can run wide, we can cross, we can pass and have a high goal conversion rate.

451 is not a easy formation to play with, it's very hard and it need high intelligence player to make this formation works.

Whoa. Alex and Benayoun look sharp
Torres should put more power on his shot, all his shots were all too soft.

Speaking about a playmarker,
Charlie Adam?
Luka Modric?

I love both of them. Awesome player and they're EPL proven player.
