Never have I started anything on a bad note, not even during my summit of hatred towards Deco! But today I will have to because we have one selfish player: sturridge! He is very i-centered and useless that I would eternally hate to see him in a Chelsea shirt! These are some of the costly blunders, a pure essence of ego:

• taking free kicks (while Alex and Kalou were made to watch; had I been Alex I would have kicked that shrunken arse so hard that he won’t dare to waste free kicks next time);
• losing possessions without pressure;
• wayward passes and making faces to team mates and the referee;
• dribbling alone;
• slipping during crucial moments;
• taking shots which seem like deflected-shots!

I think that he was so bloated with ego because Carlo started him and Drogba had this to say: “Daniel is just 21 but when you look at him playing you could feel that he is 25 or 26.” I am laughing my lungs out now, but more than my lungs my head is about to burst having to recollect the moments that I have lived through on Wednesday night!

The next worst thing is turnbull, I am sure he has now turned almost to a bull! He is clueless, I think he is headless. I was reminded of T.S. Elliot’s “Hollow Men”, turned-bull is a stuffed man, his “headpiece filled with straw”. He can manage to build a wall and then disappear behind it so that some casual shots are made to seem world-class!

Then it is Ferreira who was more focused on the arm band and trying to mimic Terry than to play his football. His forward surges and his defending were really futile and disgusting, forget his passes, I would even call it one! I would have happily made Alex or Nico the captain!

Surprisingly, my whine wouldn’t be complete without featuring Carlo. He first got it wrong with his first 11; I would rather put a decent first 11 and then score as many goals before bringing on the kids. I don’t know if he instructed but Zhirkov was playing more centrally and overcrowding our midfield, he was not providing any width on the left. Then his substitutions were awry. Kakuta was by far better than sutrridge or was Terry at all injured because along with Terry’s leadership we also lost Ferreira’s football! His decision to bring substitutions on at half time had cost us a man for good 20-25 minutes of the game.

Or may we blindly guess that Carlo doesn’t give much importance to Carling Cup. I hope this is the case because otherwise this is one of the worst managerial moments of him. We don’t deserve to hard-swallow 4 goals at home! Drogba’s word on “quadruple” has been wiped off! Anyway, in Carlo I trust and wouldn’t mind if he can at least bring us the EPL and CL trophies, although I would love the homely FA Cup too! Thank God that this loss isn’t as painful as the one which Avarm Grant threw gave us at Wembley in 2008 Carling Cup final.

But I would like to give due respects to Newcastle for bringing in their A+ which was made to appear like AAA+++ by the likes of sturridge and turned-bull! They should have gone 5/6 up easily had Ameobi and Loverkrants not tried to emulate sturridge! I have seen how cheap and disgusting ferguson is, when we were starting to play our game and gaining on confidence he play-acted to be injured and successfully disturbed our flow. I would nominate this chick-faced arsehole for the Oscar award!

Anyway, it is good chance for the youngsters to make a mark and except for those few costly mistakes Aanholt and Bruma did a decent job. Aanholt’s goal is a good one! Kakuta deserved to play 90 minutes but Carlo saw something which I didn’t. but in this curate’s egg situation, I have a big REASON to smile and the reason is Josh McEachran! I love this guy and am really wordless to describe the greatness of a footballer this modest guy is; he is a priceless gem! I would love to see him feature in each and every game now on, from bench or otherwise.

Then one more thing which I can smile about is Monsieur Nico. So calm, so cool and very lovely! He almost single-handedly tried to take us through! His goals were a class apart and his celebration so uplifting. If he is a manure or loserfoll player, his coolest penalty would have flooded the media globally! But he is a Chelsea player whom the media love to hate with a passion!

But let us look at the brighter side and be happy that we played quite well with 10 men and almost won the match. Maybe the adversity spurred us on.

Let us all hope and pray that Kalou and Benny would pull through soon.
