nateevs: Perhaps you should pay attention to what the "voices of reason" are saying now.

Its still the same.

Some are saying a summer doesnt make a swallow and its still too early to shout Uhuru when a broken clock(Torres) gets it right twice a day

I am Torres would be back to his full dud position very soon

dayokanu:
The same way you put in the MAZACAR factor and ended up with 8 league goals for fernandud

and that's because the past managers were idiotic. starting torres in games is only half of the job. his mental side of the issue was vastly neglected. jose has found the missing link & torres would punish defenders - neuer won't forget him in a while.

Last yr Demba ba didnt get to Chelsea until January was the one rotated with Torres? Who was rotating with Torres from August till December? maybe Dennis Wise or Hasselbaink

how many goals has ba scored since then? this was the same ba that was a hotshot @ newcastle. do you need more evidence to discern the system is to blame here or do you reason with your scrotüm?

Just like you hailed AVB for getting it right with Torres and later blaming him, Just like you hailed MAZACAR for getting it right with Torres and later blaming them

they got it right only few times. 4 times out of 100. MAZACAR improved torres' output, only a lunatic would dispute that. the statistics are there to see - compare 11/12 to 12/13 season. torres scored 20+ goals for chelsea last season - that's a decent output for a striker that generates loads of assists.

I just love this tread.. All the E-jabbings and E-knockings..

Keep the E-fighting and Arguments on..

God bless you..

Cesaaaarrrrr

Are the band boys ready to storm that Arsenal thread tonight?

Ijo ya

Thunder fire these IGG people

God done catch them today.

This Rosicky is a genius tho

Abeg when Essien contract dey expire? The old man resemble guy wey just wack two wraps of kenke and light soup.

I swear

Not feeling Essien at all

Essien should just voluntarily retire abeg.

Satisfactory first half performance from CFC. But Essien and Eto'o need to put on their shooting boots oh

Essien is a passenger, he'll definitely run down his contract. Good first half, Etoo needs to show he wants that starting bet more.

Second half.. under way

Can we get Torres on please? This one wey Eto just dey do one kain one kain.

Goalllllllllllllll

YEBARIBA SAMBORIBOBOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Interesting sub in Ramires. I believe he is going to stand with Ozil and provide a threat in counter attack.

Essien just can't get his passes right.

Willian and Bertrand have worked their socks off. Demba Ba in.

Jose, carry go jor. Na you be the baba. We the fans are behind you 100%.

Up Chelsea!!!!
Time to pop champagne and alomo

Well organized and controlled. Apart from a 5-minute spell before Mata's goal, we were never really threatened. This team is getting stronger. Special mention to Willian for me. This dude fully understands the concept of helping out a full back. He made much of Bertrand's work easy.

Abeg where the party at?

Willian getting his hustle on. Hazard beware, this ninja want your spot. You know Schurrle is going nowhere.

Never had issue with Bertrand although some blogs always criticise him.

Playing low block suits Mikel as he doesn't need to run at full speed. Tactics of the last 2 years did not suit him at all but we are getting better utility out of him in this system.

Eto na old man. He's no3 in striker pecking order as far as im concerned

Arsenal without Flamini aint jack!!! Gaynners better pray that boy don't get injured again.

Havilah93: Abeg where the party at?

full blown party at arsenals thread

Chelsea 2nd team is better than the 1st team of all the teams in England except City. #FACT

nateevs:


That's it bro. And that is exactly why so far, Torres is thriving. He is not working harder than he used to.
He has space in front to run into, the ball gets released quickly and he is a real danger.

imo he is working harder. Even JM confirmed it. Torres looked uninterested in the last 3 years but now (at least so far) you can see him running for 90 minutes. That my friend I think is hard work. Question is, how long will it last?

A-40:

Na so? After one match? How many times you play them last season? How many times you lose

I blame that douchegoblin Joe Hart with his bleached blond hair looking like an Nsync reject

How many points won for last season are credited to teams for this season? a nsoro eniy, eyin nsoro ana.
If you like blame citeh for sacking mancini. Fact is we beat Citeh and Ramires had Yaya for lunch.

1. Yesterday's win was a team effort and we were rarely threatened and that includes the fact guys like Essien and Eto put in a very good shift. Maybe not as fast at the rest of the younger lads but even at that, they were in most cases first to the second balls. This is important. Frankly, I bloody dont know why you guys are complaining.

2. Willian ran like mad and boy, did he help out covering the full back (Betrand)!

3. Aspi did not get a single pass right (why is no one saying nada?) because he scored?

4. Mikel was imperious and Mata was well, Mata. He was always looking for the ball and ready to kick start something. Impressive!

5. Even Demba came on and did what he was supposed to do. Draw out fouls from the defenders. Excellent.

6. A worthy mention also goes to Mark.

Well, its Newcastle next.

I'm saying Ramires still has a long way to go! 4 times played last season and 1 draw with 3 losses. Yaya Toure na still Ramires and una midfield husband till proven otherwise

how long oga? Ramires completely owned Yaya and he reduced him to nothing. That's your proof.
Last season? how does that translate to the current one?

How about our fans out-singing the whole of the Emirates yesterday? You would think we were at home. It's was brilliant.
