LOL wth TERRY try to block the shot but it go thru his leg, is his fault, he try to play offside trap, is his fault but at least both of it he show effort to defend. But MIKEL gave the ball away and then farking standing there and then continue did not press the guy infront of him that play the assist Player makes mistake we know, but he totally show no effort. If there is award i will vote him as the laziest player on the pitch, i have never seen a DM that "walk" so much on the pitch
I agree wif ya. I can accept he misplaced the pass, but the minute he kicked the ball, he's just farking standing still over there and watch. The opponent pass the ball back, then pass to the one that assist quagriella he still standing at the very same spot.

KTBFFH - Keep The Blue Flag Flying High Old Lady - Juve's nickname..
Oscar delighted with Chelsea double (and Piazon has found job as his translator!)
'I am very happy with the two goals on my debut but I would have been much happier if the team had managed to win,' he said through his countryman Lucas Piazon.

Daniel Sturridge could be heading for the Chelsea exit door as his relationship with the club continues to deteriorate.
Sturridge has yet to start a match for the European champions this season after being offered on loan to a number of Premier League clubs in the summer.
The England international failed to make the substitute’s bench for the 2-2 Champions League draw against Juventus on Wednesday after pulling out late on with what Roberto Di Matteo claimed was a minor hamstring injury.
Although the Chelsea manager said “he won’t be out for long” and there is no suggestion the injury was not genuine, there are believed to be growing doubts among the coaching staff about Sturridge’s attitude.
The 23-year-old is unhappy at falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge since Di Matteo replaced Andre Villas-Boas at the helm and spoke of his "hurt" at his exclusion from England’s Euro 2012 squad after losing his regular club spot in the final months of last season.
He has been used almost exclusively on the flanks at Chelsea rather than in his favourite centre-forward position and, after his form deteriorated, he was an unused substitute in both the Champions League and FA Cup finals.
Sturridge has entered the penultimate year of his contract, which expires in 2014, and the club have been reluctant to extend his £65,000-a-week deal, even though he scored 13 goals last season and made his international bow. He remains part of the senior England set-up and came off the bench for Roy Hodgson’s team in their 1-1 draw with Ukraine last week.
Liverpool tried to sign the forward on loan as Brendan Rodgers desperately tried to strengthen his squad in the final 24 hours of the transfer window but Sturridge said he was only interested in a permanent move.
Despite Fernando Torres’ inconsistency and the summer departures of Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Romelu Lukaku on loan, Sturridge has made only five substitute appearances for Chelsea this season.
Uncertainty over his future comes at a time when Chelsea have an abundance of attacking midfield options but have Sturridge as the only senior centre-forward to understudy Torres.
Chelsea value the former Manchester City man around the £12million mark and could be ready to cash in during the January window for the right offer.
However, some of the proceeds of any sale will go to the Premier League champions. City negotiated a 15 per cent sell-on clause when they sold their former Academy star to Stamford Bridge in 2009.
i dont fancy ramires at RW anymore..I want a dribbler..either Moses, Marin or preferebly Studge there..more cutting edge..all three of them can play as FW on the wings..just like Hulk at Porto..

I am seeing most of the people are blaming Mikel. But if you look at a bigger picture, he was actually not bad last night. Can't really blame everything on him for the second goal, but surely he has some responsible on it. Lampard is just shocking, he should stop running away from his position, it left Mikel the only player at the back in the midfield and all the pressure goes to Mikel. I think Lampard should be the player to be dropped instead of Mikel.
I know it might sounds harsh, but after watching the highlights again, I think Lampard is just pissed poor.
I saw a few ppl criticizing Frank Lampard. Well I guess his recent un-Lampard like performance was due to his un-natural position. He operates best as a CM. Not as a CDM... Ramires should play as defensive midfield along Mikel... Lampard where he belongs!
Mikel is too calm to play as DM.He need to be more aggressive and keep pressing like our previous DM makelele and old essien.I think rami will be good at DM too
