kinda agree with u...Cole was really really poor this match. but if i rmb correctly, sinclair's goal shot is all thanks to bos's poor header clearance

Cole shud be sent off at first half edi. really poor

If compare Bosingwa with Cole, definitely Bosingwa get the nod today, but, still a bad performance by Bosingwa.
Well, no one performs good today. I can only name Mata, Luiz,Iva as average players. Other than that, the team is so so poor.

and selfish too.

i think malouda crosses are no better than any high school kid. seriously the balls he hit always miss. i feel that meireles should play behind torres.

Alright, something good from this match. Even down to 10men, we still got the equalizer. That's great fight, but only if Swansea is on top 4. As a Champions League team, the performance is really a shame.

Malouda should not play for Chelsea again, totally rubbish!!

Well no Cole and we face MU & Valencia on the right flanks...Ohmai

Lukaku should start for the games against MU, he'll provide the physical strength we lack upfront ATM...

i dont see any improvement after this. we only sign cahill n de bruyne but loan back to genk when we badly need winger n strikers. this is not the first time we played badly this season. So ready to suffer again for next games.

Sunderland players look rejuvenated since O Neill take over, but under Steve Bruce they really poor, same ways that chelsea players face rite now

city gonna lose today

Lukaku showed some good signs, Christmas tree formation for Lukaku should be not bad.
Torres
Mata Lukaku
Lampard Romeu Essien
Hah, just messing the team a little bit. I doubt Lukaku will start.

We should give away 1 goal at first half then play 10 man at second half for each match.haih...

wait for drogba to return lo

LOL so u expecting buying all the world class player (highly paid) and let them play as their wish (do their job) on the pitch will win u trophies ? just look at past galactico REAL MADRID they arent exactly successful, oh wait our player is no ZIDANE, FIGO, RONALDO too. If being CHELSEA manager is just by selecting player and wish they do their job on the pitch, even you are up to the job no need spend million on AVB.

haha exactly, ppl are missing the point that AVB pick this team. People fail to brain that when an individual is having a bad game it might be the player fault but when a whole team is having a bad game, oh wait not a game but a string of bad games then definitely the manager have to take the blame.

Meireles slow down play too much.

Btw, I don't play keeper, so I not sure, but why Cech use left hand to try save Sinclair's shot at his right side?

Hopefully lampard will be back on time against MU

Lukaku should be the target man upfront and torres playing off him as 2nd striker...

The way Luiz playing atm better play him as an attacking MD la...

maybe the ball is far from his reach at initial jump so by turning his body and stretch the other arm can help reach further.

agree with you. this is not the first time we plays like this. tell me when this season we see chelsea plays good football? its rare to see nowdays even swansea can play better than us

if like that, better take the risk, let the young one play

lukaku bernand romelu

we looked more menacing once the bison entered the fray. he definitely has to start vs utd. oh btw don't worry about oreo. clearly he isn't the finished product yet and barca won't be coming back for him anytime soon.

i know many here are thinking about it, so i'll just put it out there. yes that was a cech blunder which let a weak sinclair effort (though a good one) loop in. no way he should've been beaten by that. no way. highly undeserved point, and i feel a bit sorry for brendan rodgers. lukaku looked motivated when he came on and had a shot on target within minutes. meireles and cole are still getting by on reputation. better second half than the first, most definitely.

oh and i think malouda reached a new low in terms of his level of performance today. i wonder what possessed AVB to let him stay on for 80 mins. if lukaku was introduced earlier i think we would've caused them more problems.

string of bad games or since last few seasons?

earlier part of the season = woaahh AVB so damn cun, next gen coach
come to christmas = he's poor.


let be honest, i think it had been for 3-4 years now chelsea starts to losing the grip after christmas. we're definitely better side on the earlier part of the season but not after that esp after vs arsenal.

managing a team is of course not abt picking up the players BUT I'M PRETTY SURE when players dont do the job, it's not manager's fault.

and swansea is really an organized team esp at home, with only united managed to beat them this season (home)
