Now I understand why the fans ask rafa out even during his first game in charge

Torres
Marin
I don't think Ramires is a problem, we just need a CM to partner Rami or Mikel who can provide much much more. Most of possessive and creative play is coming from Mata who is forced to drop deeper to do so.

weakest link? definitely goes to Torres.. Marin just only mix with the 1st team and team in a bad form atm..i still think he got something to proof.

our defenders all become crappier, cahill passing all over the place. Brana clumsy and slow..likewise Terry..even Ashley has lost the form..

He plays good football with Liverpool. Nice shot when he had the chance.

Demm RAFA.. u shud find another job, no more in managing football!!    

u spoiled all club u managed..

Definitely torres for obvious reason + Rafa 

Cant put Marin in the list as his not given plenty of play time.

Surplus maybe a strong word compared to manager who dont want to play him.
Bertrand start ahead of him for 2 games already. Subs also no chance, how to step up.

I beg to differ on Ramires POV. he did ok earlier this season during RDM with this formation. Reason why because he's partnering with Mikel. Mikel always drop deep to be the last person to cover the back four. mikel not an attacking type until getting into the box. hence the cover was always there. with Mikel, ramires can freely do all the dirty work run up and down breaking opponent attacks. I guess past few months fixtures cant help him much, I noticed he doing less sprinting already, too fatigue?

previous few games, it was ramires + lampard combo. we have to admit that lampard is not box to box anymore. he's a bit slow when coming back to cover back four.

an example, 3rd newcastle goal yesterday. see how many space Sissoko got to release the shot. instead of everyone getting in the box, they should form 2 layer of defensive line. 1-2 midfields should cover the gap for long range shooter. something like game against barca last season. is rafa fan of zonal marking?

Chelsea academy graduate Nathaniel Chalobah has been honoured with the England Men's Youth Player of the Year award for 2012.

The 18-year-old was presented with the accolade at the FA's England awards ceremony at St George's Park on Sunday evening.

Votes were cast by England coaches across all levels and took into consideration Chalobah's fine form for the England Under-19's over the course of the year.

Chalobah featured in eight Under-19 games—captaining the team twice—and was ever present as the Young Lions reached the semifinals of the Under-19 European Championships in Estonia.

The Sierra Leone-born player has been on loan at Gianfranco Zola's Watford since the start of the season, and his displays for the Hornets have led to him making his debut in Stuart Pearce's Under-21 side

The defender has long been on the radar of the England set-up since making his Under-15's debut as a 13-year-old and skippering the Under-17's at the tender age of 14.

Chalobah has already won two FA Youth Cups with Chelsea in 2010 and 2012, and his performances in the Championship for Watford—scoring two goals in 24 games—has led to speculation he will be included in the Blues' first-team squad from next season onwards.

ichi who the hell are those? malas to gugel mind sharing some info on those guys

The 19-year-old Argentine youth international has been earning rave reviews in Serie ‘A’ this season, scoring a notable brace in victory at Juventus and four against Pescara in a six-goal thrashing at the end of January.

Neilton, 18, scored a semi-final hat-trick (below) to down Palmeiras, before adding a goal and an assist in the final as Santos won the prestigious youth tournament for just the second time in their history.

argentinian eh... as far as i remember we never had luck with argentinian i.e. little witch and franco di santo

Its quite impressive seeing Chelsea are building alot of youth players, winning youth cups and things..

Roman probably is quite far-sighted... pumping alot of money in the beginning to win win win become famous to attract future superstars?

and i thought Marko Marin is the next Messi

zhirkov is russian messi?

so messi is argentinian ronaldinho?
