Hope RA sacked Ancelotti. If u follow AC Milan, u will know how stubborn he is. He to obsessed with ageing player and rarely believe with youngster.
Look at Sturidge at Bolton. Doing really well but Carlo didnt see that. Chelsea game play easily predicted. Hard to score when opponent parked the bus in front of goal.
If Carlo stay, the same story will happen. Looking good during new season and will downfall after that. This squad need massive clearance. Do you think Drogba, Lampard, Malouda,Essien, Anelka still got something to offer to Chelsea. Lampard maybe, Drogba maybe but u already got Torres upfront.
Kalou? Any improvement from the first season until now? Absolutely no. There is no room for improvement for him. Give chances to anholt, Josh,Kakuta,Sturidge, Borini, while add a few players next season. Chelsea really need wide players who can easily tearing apart the defense just like Valencia, Giggs,Nani did every week. Chelsea really lack these kind of players.
I'm so sorry Eric but I had to agree on gry's on this part.
Zero creativity, whenever we lead an attack, it doesn't last. It doesn't end. When the players been man-marked. We're locked down.
If you would watch all our goals scored in the past few meetings, normally it's by opponents' obvious mistakes..we also had goals from thundering low crosses, bounced goals.. so far I've never really seen a build-up play that leads to goals. Like many other teams' goals.
I don't mind ugly goals, ugly wins. But still, build-up play is so slow and pointless also.
Answer = We DON'T need Kalou(sorry if it's bitter, well okay..maybe as a super sub). We need wide players. We need speedster. We mingle too much in the midfield without proper build-up, proper vision. Normally our box-to-box moves are always string by difficult passes, hence making attacking dept look bad and can't do much. Threatening passes no longer seen. Always direct, direct, direct passes, which are so damn predictive!
Not to mention, Chelsea don't do counter-attack. I hardly seen. Maybe because Carlo wants to play Possession, because we don't have a Rooney in our team lah, that I don't know.
Drogba's balance is excellent, but lately I haven't really seen his connection with Cech (The infamous goal kick straight to his chest, because normally our attacking build up starts from here) but his freekicks, I [Like] hehe..
