Ballack might be coming in

Exactly what I have been wondering Ibime. . I actually thought Deco would take that last one

OK!. . . Time for Florent to come off. .

The goal is coming soon. .

Malouda has actually been decent . .

@Ibime.

I agree we need to put pressure on them . . Ballack is not ready yet. . He couldn't even play the mid week friendly. .

This ref is in slow motion mode. .

@Cabali. .

Don't worry it's coming soon. .

Goodness! They almost scored us. . That would have been unfair

Enjoy man!!!

Bossy is on fire. .skipping past defenders and puting crosses in from all over the place. .

Roman's enjoying a good show. .

No goals yet? . . Can't wait to get one. .

Ashley coleeeeeeeeeeeee. . OMG he could have scored. .

@Ibime . .

Kick off !

@Akola


If you think we are not entertaining this season then I am surprised. . I know you are not a big fan of LPS but man it's only plain to see we have improved. .

If you also think we should start doing it the Arsenal way already then that's a joke. . We have only been playing like this for about 13 matches and you think we should already do it like Arsenal that have done it for donkey years. . ?

These players have played route-one footie for about four consecutive seasons. . It'l take sometime to get used to a new system . .

Abeg let's give this man a chance. .

While I think Gallas's comment were despicable to say the least, I think stripping him off the captaincy is an even worse action. I know the club wants to be seen as doing something but he is even left out of the squad to play ManCity later today. . there's crisis in the club and the cause of it is the failure to sign big players. . I wonder how long this will continue. . I see even more departures of what's left of any big players if Arsenal fail to win anything this season again. .

@Somze. .

There's no sentiment. . I am not telling you Anelka is the best Striker in the world . . but as Ibime will testify, this argument started with who fits the system better. . and the simple truth is Anelka. . If you think that is sentimental. . then pick up some review DVDs . . .

Anelka had the chance to create a hat-trick for himself against West-brom . . Instead he decided to make a chance for Deco to score. . even the commentators said they do not know any striker that'l not try to be selfish in the circumstance. .

His movement, first touch control . . and the way he brings players into space is great. . In short flow is continous when he plays. .

I quite agree Drogba single handedly brought home some games. . but I hope you haven't forgotten the Drogba we used to call Durogba! Tell me one Chelsea fan liked this guy in his first season and I' call that person a hypocrite. . So Drogba did not find his 30-goal a season once he came . . but now he's pretty much riding on the confidence boost Muorinho's style gave him. .

What is happening to Anelka now is just the same. . took some time to get in. . a stlye emerges that suites him and he's flourishing. . Maybe he'l get two goals against Arsenal and that'l kick-start his big-match reign. .

And I do not subject to this "we need Drogba to win big games". . which PL team needs and uses Drogba to win their big games. . Liverpool have beaten ManU and us. . Arsenal have beaten ManU . . I do not see any of them using a drogba-like striker for any of those feats. . Now while I am not saying do not use Drogba. . I am saying he is not the holy grail to winning big matches. . Like WORMY said . . I can't count many matches against Big teams Drogba could not score. .



For now Anelka is on form . . Let's enjoy the ride. . . if tomorrow, he fails to cut it again . . we go for another striker . .that's it. .

Plus Drogba just got himself a 3 match ban. . putting him out for the Newcastle, Arsenal and Bolton games. .

somze:
Anyway, Nateevs, Ibime . . .

Was Anelka part of the starting line up that played with Roma, Man Utd and Liverpool? Did he play the full game? Why did we not see the goals? When will you guys just stop?

When will who stop? How ironic!

What you are doing is ignoring the obvious. . ! I am not going to get into the argument of Anelka or not. . but I am very sure time will tell when your argument will be absolutely ridiculous to state. .

Only you hates a player that's scored 12 premiership goals . . already in November. .
There's nothing bad in disliking a player when his performance does not merit a place on the team . . however aw do you explain extreme distaste for your club's player that's HGS in the league. .with 4 better than the next in line. . and with strong potential and oozing confidence to score more?

I bet if I told you Drogba would have scored a 2nd and a third if he had not been substituted against Burnley, you would have told me I was making perfect sense. .

I wonder what you'l then argue about if he goes ahead and gets a hat-trick against newcastle.



Oh! . . Lest I forget!!! How about the "Lucky Anelka thing"? you forgot to talk about that ! I'ld think you've seen the goals by now!!

Did anyone catch what was wrong with Terry's leg?

Terry off! . . Paulo in!

Paulo coming on!
