		<description>Robben may be available for the EPL match next weekend and not before that , but the concern is Sheva who is expected to miss the match against Newcastle and might even fail the fitness test for the CL match!!!!

And u guys wld die of shock or amusement cuz he got that injury from that tap-in miskick against Blackburn !!!! LOL !!!!!
Anyhow it really seems that JT is not fully focused on his game , his anticipation has been weak and hes been so invisible in both the boxes, m also hoping JM has noticed Drogs recent showboating persistence!!!!!

Yo pal Adonis , was just a bit frustrated after the game wen i wrote that comment!!!!</description>

		<description>Terry&#039;s contract talks have stalled. Once that&#039;s done, he should be fine. Being in the last month of the season, there should be mutual reassurance. Robben is out for the season. He&#039;ll be back only for the pre-season.</description>

		<description>Haha, Joe Blue, your ratings are hilarious. &quot;JM could have played better :D&quot;
Nobody&#039;s talking about Terry completely being outplayed by Carvalho of late... Is it the injuries, or is he just in a funk? We know he could be the best central defender at times, and we can certainly still count on him, but Carvalho has just been fresher! Why is that??? Carvalho certainly hasn&#039;t gotten as much rest... Is he suffering from any injury, BC?</description>

		<description>i have to agree with chelseablog for once over you, although i almost always disagree about SWP, i feel everyone played pretty well. However, i agree with your score for Terry over theirs, he was pretty shabby in my opinion for his usual standard. I&#039;m also glad everyone noticed Ferreira had a good game! 

a 7/10 overall team performance  imo!</description>

		<description>Romanholiday - The Champions League final is on 23rd of May. Adnriy wants us to proceed and meet Milan in the final. I dont really care if it is Man Utd or Milan as long as we make it to the final. In the champions league single leg final, it&#039;s who does better that night, wins the trophy.</description>

		<description>Tony and the disagreeing lot!

While everyone seems to have a common opinion which is different than mine, I thought I certainly need to explain further on my view of Chelsea\&#039;s performance last night.

4-1 is a great result in the backdrop of the facts such as (i) it was an away game (ii) Chelsea were tired (iii) West Ham was relatively fitter, atleast on paper.

When I see most of the players scoring more than 7/10 in ChelseaBlog.com, I\&#039;m truly surprised. I was screaming at every ball lost by us, every interception of our passes, poor touches resulting in balls conceded etc. Certainly, until the 60th our game was not of high quality. There was this schoolboy error by Lampard in the first half which nearly cost us a goal. Against any other team, that would have been a sure goal. Had it resulted in a goal, probably, we would have rated him low in this match, wouldn\&#039;t we?

Our performance was solid, clinical, professional - after we got the scrappy third goal. Most of it was also because, West Ham completely surrendered and lost their heart which made it possible for us to run around without losing the ball. I value our performance of the first hour than the later half hour. It is the first hour of the match where we have not been good enough all season.

As regards resting of players, what we would hate to see is Lampard or Drogba not being at their best for any of the three possible encounters with Man Utd next month. That is exactly we should try to avoid at any cost.

Now I have added a player rater in the above post. Under the rater, you can see the benchmarks too and then compare the rating with the explanation. For your convenience, I\&#039;ve given below the player ratings as per Chelseablog and BlueChampions. We seem to differ on Terry, Lampard, Mikel and Cech.

* Petr Cech - Chelseablog score 7/10 - BlueChampions score 6/10
* Michael Essien - Chelseablog score 8.5/10 - BlueChampions score 9/10
* Ricardo Carvalho - Chelseablog score 8.5/10 - BlueChampions score 7/10
* Wayne Bridge: Chelseablog score 7/10 - BlueChampions score 7/10
* John Terry: Chelseablog score 8/10 - BlueChampions score 6/10
* Frank Lampard: Chelseablog score 8.5/10 - BlueChampions score 6/10
* Didier Drogba: Chelseablog score 8/10 - BlueChampions score 7/10
* Lassana Diarra: Chelseablog score 6/10 - BlueChampions score 5/10
* Salomon Kalou: Chelseablog score 8/10 - BlueChampions score 7/10
* Shaun Wright-Phillips: Chelseablog score 9/10 - BlueChampions score 8/10
* John Obi Mikel: Chelseablog score 8.5/10 - BlueChampions score 6.5/10
* Joe Cole (Sub): Chelseablog score 7/10 - BlueChampions score 6/10
* Michael Ballack (Sub): Chelseablog score 7/10 - BlueChampions score 6/10
* Paulo Ferreira (Sub): Chelseablog score 7/10 - BlueChampions score 7/10

It\&#039;s all for you to discuss and decide.</description>

		<description>Why do u think Jose didn&#039;t go to the press-room after the match ?
And I think ManCity and Everton have the balls between them to take a few points off ManUre.And who do they play this weekend?
And BC when is the CL final ?
And that former Manure Roy Keane saying his team could take on Chelsea !
Pure shit from an arrogant upstart.
 Well I hope they get promoted and then let&#039;s see them face us. And I won&#039;t forget those words of his. I hope that we stuff his words right down that offensive gullet and out of his ass.</description>
