haha...we'll give avb this full season to try n figure out something...let abramovich decide the outcome...

Erm, is Bertrand elligible for UCL games? I remember group phase he not in the squad list.

did i saw the glory hunter on the previous page? mamula moon... oh my....

Should be i think, since ANELKA and ALEX gave out 2 spot. Btw is BOSINGWA injured ? if no then i am glad AVB put faith in BERTRAND and once again IVA show he is our best right back at the moment.

sturridge shud take the penalty instead of mata..another below par performances...let see next week..even below tier clubs we cant beat them...what else napoli...prepare for the worst guys...
nothing wrong in chanting jose name..cuz they deserved it...they paid expensive ticket price but end up watching avg performances ..birmingham was good...!

Yeah i still believe in him. I mean....he does evaluate the player and make changes when needed, given youngsters some matches. Evident? Betrand playing this game. Bosingwa back to the bench and soon.. Torres back to the bench. Next game i'm sure AVB will play Drogba over Torres.

With current crop of player, Torres just doesn't suit the team. I dunno...when Torres playing...his teammates just can't see him or his positioning is bad so they don't want to pass to him..

Either way... i'm already looking forward to next season.

We don't need Mourinho to spend all the Russian Ruble. Give that to AVB. His signing so far is OK. Mata is OK, Romeu is OK. Looking forward to see De Bruyne and other future signing.

A mini slight improvement of the game but still lack of ambitious and motivation. A very predictable Chelsea side with another poor defensive error. Torres was crap and some fans still keeping the same damn faith. I'm starting to accept the fact that Shevchenko was a lesser flop. Period!

Drogba also got 45 minutes. Yet..he doesn't score...what's the difference between him and Torres?

I do know the current midfield still sak bol.

i feel ashamed of watching the game
chelsea, another 4th spot specialist
i really like torres but avb doesn't know how to effectively utilize his ability
mourinho, please come back!!!

drogba just get back from ivory coast .. dimaaafkan

a month without drogba , torres still cant score ... so enuff of him ..

Sigh, to be honest, I am, very sorry to say this. I am enough with Torres.
He's poor, he's terrible, he's not providing, his positioning is abysmal.
Drogba is alright, at least better than Torres. I am very sorry Torres.
Ivanovic is 100x better than Bosingwa, I really hope Bosingwa won't play again. This sounds harsh, but he's really terrible, could've been a defeat if Bosingwa plays in Iva place.

For Napoli,
Mata Drogba Sturridge
Lampard Essien Ramires

AVB, your one last chance.
Positive note I can take from this match, I am very satisfied with AVB substitution.

we r in 5th spot...i think when we go down to 6th or 7th spot only then some of the supporters here will be awaken from their nightmare and realize AVB is a gone case already....

some will jump support other teams. where is the loyalty? sighs.....

lets go with avb for the whole season and see where we are..BUT...if we are unable to secure the place for the next UCL..how?

then i still KTBFFH, whatever happen

you still got europa league what?

sejak bila sturridge amik penalty???

Hey if all they care about is their expensive tickets they can all shove them up their arses and pay their money to SkySports instead. Chelsea doesn't need "fans" who leave the ground before the game ends.

There's nothing more to see this season. As long as the old guards are here, we're not going nowhere and AVB will never stamp his authority. Roman can get rid of AVB all he wants, but first Chelsea has to get rid of the extra baggage. Now make no mistake - they're legends but even legends have to move on at some point. You've served the club magnificently, your names are in the Hall of Fame, you're past your prime so now GTFO if you do love the club. Sail into the West and join Henry and Beckham or whatever.

Gosh summer is never this far away.

i loled so hard at this.. and on what basis you rate lukaku better than torres? through youtube compilation i presumed? even safee sali can become a world class act in a youtube compilation la.. that lukaku guy was not even proven yet. we can be optimistic on his development and that is all.

the case with torres is that the team are not ready to move from the realm of drogba. while torres is upfront, we play as if drogba there. both play differently. and since we believe drogba will play until he is 40 for chelsea, that is why people say torres positioning is awful and etc. drogba looks awesome because the team evolve around him. just sell torres if you cannot make him the focal point of the team.
