Even without Mata, i don't think it's a valid excuse. Sure, he's instrumental but his replacement all are world class international player. Chelsea were guilty of wasting chances in final third. While it only took 1 corner kick for Rs to capitalize, too much space for Taarabt and SWP. Of all the guilty party, the manager should be the last one to be blamed for this defeat.

we not creating enough chances. we barely can even bring the ball in the box..except a few times..especially torres shot to cesar..

the tinkering is like a gamble every time you will start with 0..I still blame Rafa for leaving on form player at the bench..it just coincidence that Mata and Hazard was on form..and he left them on the bench..If another player let say..Marin or Piazon on form..I prefer them to start..It was not about the status of the player but the form of the players..I understand that tinkering will help keep the squad fresh..but the downside are that the squad cant find rhythm..lack of understanding..and every player always start from zero...

Cech out for 'two or three weeks', confirms Benitez

more bad news..

so sad to see that >.<

ba will be a very good signing for chelsea, pending medical

read that the guy struggled to get even a championship english club in 2004 and had to went through a lot of downs, including the knee injury, overcame it and now set to sign for a top club...happy for him

Im surprise u came here not to troll

wat is there to troll? 0-1 loss? nah, i only fight fire wif fire, if there is one

hard to swallow. 1 - 0 lose to QPR is a humiliation.

still can't believe we lost to QPR....and Wright-Philips the scorer

btw

Benayoun back at Chelsea

DembaBa agree to join Chelsea

unlikely.
Rotation yes.

hopefully DembaBa can stay injury free and continue his scoring form for us...

Harry Redknapp on Frank Lampard in 1996: He'll go all the way



The fan continues to argue with the West Ham boss as Lampard looks on, until Redknapp forces his point home, saying: “I’ll tell you now, you can sit here in front of all these people but I’ll tell you without any shadow of a doubt there will be no comparison with what Frank Lampard will achieve in football and what Scotty Canham will achieve in football.
“There is no favouritism and if anything I’m holding him back more.
“I’m telling you now — and I didn’t want to say this in front of him — but he will go right to the very top.
“He’s got everything that’s needed to become a top class midfield player.
“His attitude is first class, he’s got strength, he can play, he can pass it and he can score goals.
“I’m telling you, in my opinion I couldn’t be more strong how I feel about him.”

SCOTT CANHAM made 34 League appearances for Brentford before continuing his career in the lower divisions with Leyton Orient, Woking, Farnborough Town and Thurrock.

MATT HOLLAND did bounce back as Redknapp predicted. After three years at Bournemouth he enjoyed a successful career at Charlton and Ipswich, amassing over 550 League appearances. Holland also won 49 caps for the Republic of Ireland, scoring five times.

FRANK LAMPARD has won every major domestic honour with Chelsea plus the coveted Champions League last season. He has won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and was named FWA Footballer of the Year in 2005. He has also won 93 caps for England, scoring 26 goals.

I think it's a waste letting lampard go. He's always there when we need him the most. He can still go for a couple more years.

As for Ba, I think he's a good addition to the squad. We can't be putting our hopes on Torres alone. And he's much cheaper than Falcao.

at least got a pure striker selain torres .. Hope RB didnt do any experiment or rotation to Ba..

its more wasted that we let Sturidge go.

its better to let him go, then let him rot on the bench.

u sure? D23 seems never really get in our first 11, and never proof himself.. we all just know he is shelfish all the time..maybe 1 or 2goals he gave.. wat else?

+1

never a fan of him, because of his selfishness.

Ba has been a proven goal scorer in BPL... hopefully he will be the man for big occasion! Welcome Ba!!!!!

DEMBA BA KNEE INJURY



If BA do come hope he will be able to stay fit and injury free. Coz a blow on his knee again, he will not be the same player that score so many goal anymore and might be the end of his career and we are paying him pension salary for the remaining of his contract.
