How market," Mr. European Champions"? Hope u guys do not relegate this season, trying to copy and play like the indefatigable Barcelona, whom u "beat" last timeout! @johnpaul or frankbenson, are u still struggling to accept the chelsea vs barca results? well, it is not about the last result, rather it is about chelsea barca from time. barca can beat angels in football but not chelsea fc. we can lost to a 4th division team but not to barca. even with ovrabo, barca could not win chelsea. even with 10 men, barca could not beat chelsea. i have a copy of that torres run in which he stopped at a point and ask the ref if he shld continue the run. barca players were all carried away that they forgot defending was part of the game. what pedigree had pep before he started coaching barca? where is the pedigree of rijkard after coaching barca. learn to accept defeat or behave like the real barca fans who fainted and die because they could not live by the result. mark my words, chelsea even at relegation will beat barca as long as the ref will remain neutral. debosky: Sturridge sends team GB out! and where were u when sturridge helped team GB to go through? did u comment on oscar's contributions? enemy of european champions and prophet of doom. if u hate champions, tell me how arsenal will become one now or in future. |

nateevs: This guy is highly confused! Wetin concern John Terry and "getting the ball back in 10 secs". You want centre-back to leave his position and go and start pressing opponents in their own half? Getting ball back within 10 secs is chiefly the responsibility of the front four players, but reports you gave us told us shekpe keeper only touched the ball twice. Was he standing hands akimbo all this while waiting for others to fetch the ball within 10 seconds?  And who even said that getting ball back within 10 secs is our gameplan? I thought the same confusionists also told us Shekpe keeper can only play on counterattack, and if so, the logical pressing game would be to let the opponents have the ball until they step into our half, creating opportunity for SWITCHBACK!!!!  Infact, I dont want our players pressing high at all as long as Mikel and JT are still there to be brutally exposed on counterattack. nateevs: I really don't know where to start from. If you like buy Pele and Garrincha. Same guy told us we have little chance until Hulk joins and such. One wonders whether Hazard, Mata, Oscar and shekpe-keeper are not sufficiently skilled to do the job. If Mata, Hazard and Oscar are geniuses, then shekpe-keeper must be the one that will be holding everybody back. It does not matter who Chelsea sign. Any attempt to play a style of footie that leaves opponents space to counter with Mikel and Terry covering those counterattacks is a LABOUR IN VAIN. . . soon to lead to loss of confidence in any system we implement when they see Shane Long streaking away to score on the counterattack after dominating possession from start to finish. tiki-taka style of play will peter out like with Scolari, Ancelotti and AVB without strong niggas to cover counterattacks. |

Ibime: This is Debosky and I endorse this message. Pressing high up with a 31 year old Terry and a slow man like Mikel? What RVP did to y'all at SB will be childsplay if that madness is tried again. |

Everything points to the fact that the Shekpe keeper is the problem Now Alhaji Drogba has left Chelsea lets see what Torres would blame this time around |

debosky: if you are still happy to identify with ur barren club(arsenal) then those of us in the champions of europe shld go to sleep with our doors open for good. if u win chelsea and remain in the top 4 at the end of the season, you are good. it is a shame that arsenal has gone down to this low level where winning chelsea stands out as an award winning achievement. don't forget that QPR won chelsea and they are not celebrating like u. on the other hand, van persie needs more money for what he did to chelsea so why is everybody fighting him at arsenal? the slow man like mikel has more medals to show for his slow games than ur fast van persie. you are busy polluting the air while the real club fans and shareholders are busy saying the truths. read this; http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7969483/Usmanov-slams-Arsenal-politics this is 1025, i over-endorse usmanov and his position. |

dayokanu: Everything points to the fact that the Shekpe keeper is the problem don't tell me u are still angry with us over the incident of may 19. we are really sorry. just that we were in munich to prove a point. pls bear with us. buyern were not our mean target but it is unfortunate that u were made a victim. we tried even giving out a penalty in extra time when u could not hold on for just 7 minutes. always remember, u have celebrated man u as ur wife in the past so we were encouraged by man u to pay u back with ur own coin and that was what we did. very soon, i will make public the letter we got from fergie who pleaded with chelsea to pls forget the problems at home front and make sure we dealt with barca and buyern who have punished them in the past. the issue with napoli was as a result of what man city told us. so pls bear with us. 1 Like |

Ibime: STFU dude! What is your problem? Must you quote every post of mine. I hadn't even made a statement about who to press. A Chelsea fan asked a question which I responded to and you here spilling garbage. What's all the long post about? I never asked for system of pressing in 10secs, never spoken a single word about how we should play and voila your are here yarning dust. I made maybe 5 comments through the game, now you think "my reports told you Torres touched the ball twice". Where in my posts did you see that? Jeeez! ------------ Ibime: Firstly, I am struggling to see the relevance of this post! Secondly, cooking up lies to make a point? Desperation! |

Saw This On a Chelsea Blog and felt like Sharing it with All In here. Food for thought this season While the experience of witnessing Didier Drogba fittingly end his time as a blue by finally ending our quest for the illusive Champions League title was a moment that I’m sure only occassions such as weddings and births of children could come close to (unlikely), there was an undoubtable feeling that this was the beginning of something fresh at Chelsea. A new dawn. A focal moment of transition from one era to another. All the pain and misery of failing near the final hurdle being put to rest at last, just as it felt as though the John Terry’s and Frank Lampard’s of our team would never get their hands on one. But how do we go one step better? I am not going to lie. There is no way we should of won our first Champions League last season. That squad wasn’t meant to pull off a feat like that, particularly as beating Brmingham in the FA Cup was proving to be a hard ask. Team spirit, mental strength and desire carried us through to two unexpected trophies. Though we can not escape the fact that our league form, given the expectations we hold at Chelsea, was an embarrassment. The investment Roman Abramovich puts into the club deserves a far better return than 6th, and even Roberto Di Matteo could not turn around our flailing fortunes in that respect. There is some way to go for us to achieve what the owner demands, so here are some pointers and lessons from last season which I feel can help us reach that mark: Lesson 1: Statement of intent From watching last season’s opening game at Stoke, which ended goalless, and from the first home game against West Brom, you couldn’t help but feel the lack of optimism. Who was saying: “I think Chelsea can challenge United and City this year?” Not many. With the position we find ourselves in, we should be aiming for league titles every season. According to many people, Andre Villas Boas’ needed to be given time to bring about a time of transition that we were going through. But all I could think was: “What transition?” The only players who left us permanantly last summer was Yury Zhirkov, hardly a first team rehualr in the first place, while the only signings who made a genuine difference to our fortunes were Juan Mata and Gary Cahill after signing in January. Hardly transition. I couldn’t help but groan over the same old approach to going forward, and the same one-paced movement. It was the same lack of pace visible that I believe lead to Ancelotti’s sacking. However, this year feels different. From what I’ve seen of Eden Hazard and Oscar, they both seem comfortable on the ball and can make things happen. Marko Marin brings that element of pace needed, and while it was obviously upsetting to see Drogba exit the club, there was an underlying thought that given his age and lack of consistency it was the right time. It’s also fair to say I haven’t lost a lot of sleep over letting Kalou and Bosingwa go. There is a general idea that we will have more fizz about us in the final third, combined with the solidity of the more experinced players and excitement of youngsters coming through. People are taking notice of us again, and while we may not yet be in a position to win the title yet, we certainly have more tools to challenge for it than last year. Lesson 2: Turn up for the big games This is obviously excluding our heroic Champions League performances from last season, but again focusing on the domestic front. Against the five teams that finished above us last season, we won two games out of ten, those coming in the 3-0 victory at Newcastle and 2-1 home win against Manchester City. Not good enough I’m afraid. Perhaps the top teams found it easy to work us out, or our usual resilience wasn’t there. The 3-1 loss away to Man United and 3-5 defeat against Arsenal were both examples of a cringeworthingly bad defence, exposing AVB’s naivety. The loss of a 3-0 lead at home to United without doubut should not happen at the highest level.When the fight was on for fourth, our defeats at City and at home to Newcastle came about due to negativity and lack of spark. Mourinho and Ancelotti formed title winning teams on the back of tactical awareness against the toughest of oppsition, and in our championship winning seasons our results in those games were on the most part positive. Di Matteo showed against Barcelona and Bayern Munich that he possesses this, particularly when pullimg off masterstrokes like selecting Ramires on the left wing at home to Barca to exloit Daniel Alves’ weaknesses and Ryan Bertrand in the same position against Bayern as a defensive option. With morale being as it is at the moment, I expect these results to improve next season. Lesson 3: Know what to do with the youngsters Mceachran, Romeu, Bertrand, Courtois, Piazon. There is a conveyor belt of young talent ready to ease into the side over the next few years. But so often we loan them out time after time before moving them on. Mceachran’s loan move to Swansea did not pay off, so I would like to see us sell a few midfielders to give him and Romeu chances. They both have technical ability, and can both tackle and pass the ball well. We need to make it clear to players like this how we see their role at the club. Romelu Lukaku complained about his lack of opportunities last season, and questioned whether we were jsut throwing money around. While I personally do not see anything anywhere near £18 million worth of talent, why was he lead to believe other wise? If these players could just be told whether they are good enough or not, or need to go out on loan from the start, this will make their competetive edge stronger. We need to decide once and for all if we are going to continue to spend money, or finally give young players chances to prove themselves, rather than leave them to waste in the reserves before selling them. Lesson 4: Manage the players Seems simple, but AVB was the example of how this can go so wrong. I have never believed that his time as manager went pear-shaped because he didn’t respect the senior players or tried to bring about change too quickly. He was just too inexperienced for the role. His treatment of Alex and Anelka bordered on being pathetic, and I think that was the moment the dressing room was lost. A more experienced boss may have just respected that they had handed in transfer requests and moved them on without fuss. It can’t have been easy for the likes of Terry to see his team-mates who he looked after being treated like that. Things like that and the needless rant at Gary Neville for making a fair point about David Luiz’s inefficiencies last season brought about anxiety and a lack of cohesion. Put basically, treat them like adults and don’t be so paranoid is the lesson. Di Matteo made sure last season that he didn’t alienate anoyone last season, thus giving the likes of Kalou and Ferreira more game time. The players clearly responded to his management style, and keeping things calm and disciplined will be the way forward. Overall, the mood around the club seems more healthy than this time a year ago, but if these points are addressed and we don’t stand still, this could be another memorable season. Pre-season may not have gone perfectly, but a good result at Wigan on August 18th can put that to bed. Here’s to another heart-wrenching but exhilarating season. |

chelseabmw: I can see 9 manutd players there na waa 4 u. man u has been practising on how best to win barca and the idea of that game was to see if they are there but it is quite unfortunate that even if u give man u 20 penalties against barca, they won't win. i have told them to always wear blue whenever they are playing barca as that is the only colour barca is afraid of. 1 Like |
