mata deserve some credit to..he's been the heart of the attacking while Mikel take care for defending section..without Lampard, the team look more fluid in attack..Betrand play some crucial role as well to stop Ben Arfa and Jonas

mata & hazard has already create quite a damage n shown great understanding..wonder will it be harm to include Marin in the trio instead of Betrand/ Ramires..since both of them can be useful in defending while Marin might provide more trickery, pace n creativity..i reckon Marin is our best player in pre season..

Joe Cole performance declined not because opponent already know his moves but rather due to his prolong & recurring injuries. Unlike Joey, Hazard never had any serious injury under his belt. That is some record. Just hope the record continue.

go where?

Essien still can play some role, don't la sell him. Same goes to Danny Studge, that lad still young. If the club want to offload player, they should considering Malouda, Benayoun & Kakuta only.

my preference;

Chelsea, Dortmund, Juve, Benfica

bring it on!! we're the champion

yup, that's the point. many says we've won it "lucky-park-the-bus" style last year, who gave a shite? we've won.

this year, i want us to win it again in more stylish way..let's get it start by sneeking through the group of death..

still remember Romeu was a monster against City at SB last year. dunno what happen after that when he start to get complacent & reckless. but based on recent performance, there's no much gap between Essien and him..

fair play, atletico play superbly..falcao best striker in the world for this moment..

why RDM starting Ramires when the lad obviously losing some form judging by recent performance, his poor 1st touch at the beginning of match clarified this..why he dont continue the formation against Newcastle, the team that shown best performance so far..is he afraid to drop Lamps on the bench?

I personally disappointed with Torres. look how Falcao & Christian Rodriguez chasing the ball non stop, pressuring our defense. Unlike them, Torres just wait and wait hoping for some magic from Hazard & Mata.

Another culprits is Brana & Luiz. Both are too complacent, very reckless defending. I saw how Ashley gone berzerk few time due to defending slack did by those two.

This loss is very painful to take. Chelsea used to play well in Final match. Anyhow, credit to Atletico especially Falcao who is by far the best striker in the world at the moment.

RDM job this season is to build an attacking & play beautiful football since he already won the holy grail for us. Roman is a big admire of total football, thats why he willing to spend in this season for bunch of creative MF talent. But unfortunately, yesterday that plan backfired. We lose in every aspect ; physical, tactic, fitness, understanding. Too panic after concede 2nd goal, could easily become much more worst with all the misses by Atletico
