Hope our team is ticking next time we have Everton. Be a really good 3 points to get.

 

[Kyoufu]

Shit man.

I'm actually so happy for you.

Congrats.

Newcastle have agreed a fee of around £5m with Lille for France right-back Mathieu Debuchy, according to #SSN sources

YEAH

YEAH

YEAH

Ramires is one of the best CMs in the Prem.

As a wide midfielder he's a bit average.

Ticking as well as this Everton team? I can't see it.

Positionally Everton are excellent. There's just no space on the pitch.

Agreed, but - and it might be a bit humbling for Chelsea to admit it - first and foremost they should be looking to cut off what Everton are good at. If they're playing Oscar/Mata/Hazard they have little defensive cover on the wings, and three similar players buzzing around the centre of the pitch and giving Pienaar, Baines et al all the room they want.

 

[mil6es]

seriously when did torres become sooo slooowww

 

[Slizz]

Wow. That was very close.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Fucking hell Mata is just amazing.

 

[Timurid]

So close!!!

How did no one get on the end of Asspillager's ball?

Aye. Osman and Pienaar are playing terrific stuff as well.

Think of the children!

 

[bud]

i'm not entirely sure what pienaar did there, but that looked beautiful.

 

[Slizz]

Jelavic wants a goal badly.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That was fucking terrible by Azpilicueta. At this level it isn;t good eniugh to just randomly loft the ball into the box when your team is out of shape

 

[Broder Salsa]

Cahill and his famous "I will just keep being passive and backing up" defending.

 

[Arnie]

Aye. Osman and Pienaar are playing terrific stuff as well.

Aye, and I can't even hate Osman. Top lad.

I fucking hate floaty crosses.

Lazy, technically undemanding, unpromising shite most of the time.

Although Valencia's current alternative of drilling it to nobody in particular is crap too.

 

[Clegg]

Apart from some decent counter-attacking Chelsea seem devoid of any creativity.

Summed up by Lampard taking a potshot from 40 yards out.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Lazy, technically undemanding, unpromising shite most of the time.

I hate the way Johnson does it quite a lot, when he has an absolutely brilliant driven cross that he doesn't use enough. Its why I love Gerrard's crosses.

Its especially annoying that we do it when Suarez is on his own in the box, although we don;t do it nearly as much as we used to


fake edit: Lampard is so selfish

 

[dc89]

Oh a great time to score.

 

[KidA Seven]

fat frank stepping up

 

[GQman2121]

SUPER GOAL!

We're in this. Good way to end the half.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

YES!

 

[Slizz]

I will admit that was a great finish from Lampard.

 

[Broder Salsa]

The most anonymous player on the pitch scores! Also great cross by Ramires.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Very good goal.

Chelsea bit lucky to be level maybe.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Give him a 5 years extension.

 

[sohois]

I was just thinking to myself how much Lampard reminded me of Gerrard for Liverpool - a player too old, too slow for the midfield anymore - and much like Gerrard, up pops Lampard with a 'bit of magic' to make himself undroppable even when he has been poor.

 

[GorillaJu]

That Chelsea goal was really quite good. I'm expecting 1, maybe two more goals in this.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I'm not looking forward to letting Fat Frank go :/

 

[Broder Salsa]

Azpilicueta really still far from convinces me of anything, most Chelsea supporters seems to have a giant hard on for him though.

The entire team has been poor. It's easy to call out a player in the middle of the park who isn't really in a forward pushing role anymore. That's what all these little expensive players zipping about are for.

 

[Vivalaraza]

"Overlap! Overlap"

:lol

 

[GorillaJu]

I love Benitez's OVERLAP! OVERLAP! calls.

edit: fuck you

 

[Arnie]

Have the draw on my bet, so I'm happy with this. Chelsea much improved in the last 15 there, great finish from Lampard to steer it into the side netting.

Only just realised Hitzlsperger was playing, he's just been marking the whole game.

BEWARE OF COUNTER ATTACK

 

[Gareth Bale]

Demba Ba to Chelsea?!

 

[Kyoufu]

Ba to Chelsea eh? Hope we get Remy then.

 

[Phantast2k]

Welp, I missed most of the game :|

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Azpilicueta really still far from convinces me of anything, most Chelsea supporters seems to have a giant hard on for him though.

He seems a bit like Wisdom to me, won't let you down too much defensively, doesn't do enough going forward though

Chelsea going for Ba. Falcao to Real in the summer then

 

[GQman2121]

Demba Ba to Chelsea?!

I'm kind of shocked. But he's a hell of a bargain at £7.

 

[Clegg]

Ba to Chelsea?

That's the Debuchy transfer covered.

 

[Wilbur]

Is Ba confirmed?

also, stupid move for him. Going to play second fiddle now.

 

[dc89]

Ba to Chelsea? Free run at Falcao then in the summer.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I guess Falcao couldn't be bought till summer.

 

[GorillaJu]

Where are you guys reading this? nothing on my Twitter feed.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Ba to Chelsea eh? Hope we get Remy then.

You already spent that money.

Where are you guys reading this? nothing on my Twitter feed.

Sky Sports.

Telegraph also had it as their main story this morning.
