Impressed with the fightback. But its pretty hard on the baggies.

For the record,it was a penalty.defender barged into him,pretty obvious imo.surprised the pundits are getting their knickers in a twist. that's another point i'd like to emphasise which is how ramires won that pen, by joining up in attack.he doesn't do that NEARLY enough these days.

those are his favorite, even out-form oscar is playing. at least oscar did decent, but lampard did nothing and iva have been poor.

Mistake by choosin lampard yg offform as startin lineup

Big mistake by cech for both goals.

Iva crossed to noone... zzz

The crossing really piss me off.. hate to say this but do you see barca playing with crosses? This is not rocket science. We no longer have the big n strong player like drogba n ballack inside the box. All super small frame.. then still drill in the cross.

3amigos la whatever.. too fancy with the footwork. Poor off the ball movement. Everybody just wait to be fed the ball. One player show skill, all stop and watch him..

2 PL games n we lost 5 points. Massive points.. because it was against lesser team where we should have won it.

the pundit has been against us throughout the match,, you on skysport too? im wonder whos that

4-3-3 please. Keep the ball in deeper midfield and control that area. Give attacking trio space to run or come in to move the ball forward. Keep the ball moving quick in advanced areas.

..well easy for me to say

well from wat i see is mou did try to get the ball moving quickly by put in lampard as scared ram+mikel combo will slow the things down. and also i noticed many times lamps in the box where as i cannot rmmber when is the last time he was there. for wba 2nd goal, yes iva at fault to lose possession but dat one is more clear cut foul than the penalty..

when decision doesnt favor us and we complained, we got bashed in other thread saying we butthurt
when decision favor us, we still got bashed in other thread saying 'i wonder how chelsea fans will respond to this '

so, apa lagi yang diorang mau ?

anyway, i think we actually deserved to lose this one but this is football, sometimes u get what u dont deserve and sometimes you dont get wat u deserved.

Trust me,even the mutant lovechild of falcao and cavani would flop at the bridge. The midfield in front of the back four is simply not good enough,and as a result we move the ball at a snail's pace.good coaches like Steve clarke will sniff that out in no time,and cut off our supply lines to the forwards within minutes. Having iva as a RB and a right footed azpi on the left only compounds the problem.

well after this if the players dropped then they cannot complain as they already given the chance to maintain their positions. mou tried to stay true to his words, who performed in the last game will be starting in the next game but now only the players need to think hard about their performance..

+1 to Azpi playing at LB. You have Cole, 1 of the best current left back in the world. And you played Azpi?

Iva since long time ago I see him as Terry's successor. The moment he start playing at RB, I wad like 'what....'

So Mou, start Cole at LB and Azpi at RB for the next game.

ramires dived. no excuses.

but i dont know why, and how, this one dive make him a better diver than someone who is currently being targeted by the media (after his dive in midweek UCL), defended by his current manager, and bashed by his previous manager (a legend managing the team for 26 years).

someone tell me why ?

not an obvious one imo. more like a soft penalty. reid did bump into rami and rami make a full use of it.

Hope manu can win tomorrow night to stop Arsenal

Actually i'd much prefer bertrand at the moment.cole has been a bit too casual in certain games,but certainly no worse than lampsy who has the complete trust of mourinho..for some reason.

Berty can at least do better when he's on the ball. Having said that,azpi has been superb with his defending,but he just can't exhibit his true potential playing on the wrong side,which is such a shame.

If we're going to shake things up,i'd love to see some boldness in the pivot combo.try a ramires and oscar combo..heck even a de bruyne and mikel combo surely can't do any worse?try something different,because it clearly is the most dysfunctional part of the team atm.

nice diving. worth it. fight for 3rd place chelsea

i would give oscar for that

bump into people and fell

yet again.lampard.play. too much sentiment.between mou n him. come on la

I suspect there's some of that as well.too much sentiment is never a good thing. Same is happening with oscar.he's as hardworking as ever,but his mojo in attack is slowly disappearing. That's enough reason to warrant an early Sub today actually.

Ramires just taking chances. There's a slight contact but I don't think it warrant a penalty.

That being said, Wes Brom doesn't deserve all 3 pts either.

Draw is fair result. But the penalty is not.

I think Azpi will start next game. Jose seems fond of him. It is understandable to drop Cole for below par performances but Bertrand is always there. Instead he chose Azpi and had given compliments on his attitude.

Meanwhile Iva is always there for defending and physical presence. But attacking wise he just doesn't click.

On the game today, we didn't deserve the penalty. But it's just the same as we didn't deserve to be 1 goal down. WBA's second goal was a foul and I guess the referee was trying to justify his mistake by awarding the penalty.

Overall still quite a disappointing performance. Especially Cech.
