OMG What a save!

spyder880:
Can Arsenal qualify for Champions league next season?

More like will they make Europa ?
They are playing Sunderland, Stoke, Chelsea next.

Bale misses by whiskers.

Goaaalll

I was just thinking Sandro should be in this game. Spurs are being outnumbered in midfield.

coogar:
you need to take some lessons of sarcasm 101 from coogar.
your attempt was quite pathetic. as pathetic as walcott's lethargic football brain.

You've started foaming from the mouth again Sharon.

duduspace:
Are yu watching Sky sports at all? what are they discussing at half time? they've only given the normal Refree excuse that if the Ref isn't sure he shouldn't give it.
Hand ball or not, an opposing player should not have all that time in our box. 45 mins left to play.

coogar:
that wasn't a handball. . . . .van der vaart controlled that ball perfectly with his chest!

van der vaart is daft sha. he is on a yellow and he ran to the crowd to celebrate.
another referee could have given him a yellow for that, making it a red card for him.
footballers are the daftest human beings on the planet!

Come on guys . . . Do I have to explain sarcasm?

@Ibime.

I am not quite sure anyone said Lamps was finished. What I said was that Lamps is now much slower in execution, due to age and the pace of our game could use swift executions.


Let's all not get carried away anyway. It's a long season and Bolton are about the poorest team in the PL now by a long shot. I expect us to roll over them with the tactics in play.


AVB will continue to rotate the players however, I am more concerned with the immediate consideration of finding the new Lampards and Drogbas . . They won't be here forever.

duduspace:
VdV controlled the ball with his left hand. He shouldn't have been so free in our box though.

Sky Sports didn't show the hand ball in the build up.
They must have missed it. . .

They decided to show VDV chest the ball and shoot. . .
Useless Sky Sports.

Fan der faart.

We all have games after which we argue for our interests.
The good thing  now is no matter who we bring in, we have the ability to go on and trounce team who don't show up.

All in all, it's a good thing.


Meanwhile, how good was Lamps today?
He really silenced us. .

Good game. We slowed towards the end but hey, who cares? 5-1.
I feel very sorry for Owen Coyle.

debosky:
Surely you can't deny Drogba's contribution to the fluidity today? Especially in opening up room for Lamps to make his runs into the box?

I think you will find mate that a "contributor" - like you are stating now - is far different from an "enabler" - that you stated earlier.

And at what point in time has anyone stated that he doesn't contribute?
Failure rate is what we are looking at mate.

debosky:
Not talking percentages here. . . .I haven't seen Torres enable fluidity in attack for Chelski the way Drogba has done today.

So you think the fluidity was enabled by Drogba.
You are tensed Debo. I know the Derby is coming up.

Mata off for Anelka. I would have loved to give Ryan, Lukaku or Josh some minutes since we are comfortably ahead.

debosky:
I'm sorry but this Luiz is a muppet - he hesitates when he should clear and gives away silly fouls when he shouldn't

He's better than your entire back line.
You'd be lucky to have him.

debosky:
Hmm. . . .and this same Drogba is accused of breaking play down?

If you read well, you will find that it was 43% chance of breaking down play.
If you are interested, I will bring up the stats for this game when it concludes.

Hat-trick for Lamps. Drogba assist. 5-1

Mikel for Ramires. Meireles will move up into CM. AVB making us more solid and combative with the inclusion of Bran and Mikel.

Ivanovic for Bosingwa. Interesting because this is the first time Ivanovic, Terry and Luiz are playing in the same game under AVB.

We just can't prevent goals. Even though I know it's going to happen, I hate when it happens from set-pieces. How many goals have we conceded from set-pieces the season?

When I see Malouda, the only thing I can think of is Kalou. Malouda is only slightly better than Kalou.

Half time.

El Guapo:
[color=#0066ff]Now this is gonna be a Selection headache for Mr Capello - As Sturridge n Lampard looks rejuvenated![/color]

Cappello will be insane to not pick them both. Lamps' coming into his own.
The problem for Danny though is that Welbeck's in smoking hot form.

RuuDie:
Its a romp already ~ system is working. . . . . Bolton can't close y'all down and the passing is sleek.

The way that Wanderer Baba Olowo is looking, Coyle might not last long as Bolton manager!

He's been embarrassed one time too many this season already.
Owen's seat will boil eggs as we speak.

The forward surges by David Luiz leaves me breathless.

Also, he's made about three 30-yard passes today down the right.
Twice to set Bosingwa on a run and once to find Danny.

Bolton is serious trouble today. 4-0.

Danny on a hat-trick. Can you believe that?

3-0.

RuuDie:
Chelsea are playing quite a dangerous game. . . . . . the wing-backs move far up squeezing Bolton back, the center backs spread out very wide too ala FCB but the problem is when they lose the ball Mereiles, Lampard and Ramires do not fall back fast enough.
Way too much gap down the middle that Bolton can exploit!

That's the down side to the system we play. The thing is it is very difficult to that way with a deep lying defence line. It's one of the reasons why we won't keep clean sheets. But hey, if we win games, it works.

I love our tempo. The opposition has to be incredibly swift and skilful to deal with it.


2-0.

Line Up by the way.

Danny on the score sheet. Ngog trying the break Terry's blokos.
