It's always hard with a feeder team in the group, but glad they manage to hold Basel.
Damn, our defence had a busy night. Oscar assist for second goal gooding mang. Pace, strength and of course the correct pass.
Torres is able to perform well in UCL games because our opponents usually try to enforce themselves into the game, instead of being more conservative like quite a number of teams in PL. This allows both teams to attack each other. So whoever comes out on top in the battle of defences and attack gets the result(also our early goal helped in that favour). In PL, even with piling pressure, we won't be able to effectively convert our play to chances unless we already leading.

i only managed to watch the 5th minute goal, tido after half hour mark ahhahhaha
after first goal we seem to slow down the tempo and absorb pressure
That is the price of being a Chelsea fan. I take a boring game with 3 points in the bag rather than flamboyance ending up falling face first flat on the floor just like... Ahem ahem... Arsenal.
The diagonal run by torres is gooding also..it gives more space for hazat to drift wider before take the shot to the spaces 'created' by torres.
So this week v city...however i think better starts with eto'o coz torres have this tendency of getting unnecessary yellow or red during big games hahah
Although i never really expressed any comments or felt that way regarding Sturridge in that manner, I have to admit it would have been great if he managed to get similar results with us. But sometimes it just wasn't meant to be, so he moved on, and I'm happy for him for being successful(as long he doesn't cost us any trophies ).
too bad he never true to himself..he keen to be main top striker..yes..we understand that..so he move to liverpool..chelsea heirarchy want to keep him as LW..but he refuse to be there..and now end up as LW at liverpool..nothing change..we dont want to keep player that go against our manager..just enjoy him he is a good player..
