Carlo got his first 11 wrong! I have always been advertising and it has always been successful: that Kalou is a super-sub! Whenever Kalou starts, he seems to fade but on the contrary he does very well if he comes on for last 20-30 minutes. I thought Carlo knew this truth but yesterday he made a blatant mistake by keeping deadly Drogba on the bench and starting with his younger compatriot. Nico was isolated up front and he cannot do as much on his own as Drogba can and Nico does well at the right flank!
And with Essien unavailable, Carlo’s starting 11 got worse! Ramires was very wasteful and he lacks a quick thinking. After seeing him till now I conclude that he is good at running after the opponent and conceding a foul. He lacks dribbling skill and his passes are more often than not awry! He takes ages on the ball and eventually loses it. I was anxious whenever he got the ball. With Essien available it would have really been a different game and result!
Then at the back Carlo could have started with Bosingwa to create offensive move on the right flank. Bosingwa is lot better than Ivanovic in marauding forward and I am sure in 30-40 minutes the Portuguese would have created few decent crosses! And if we by then lead the game, then we can bring in the Serb to defend! But Ivanovic did a decent job and may be his lovely brace against them in CL might have helped Carlo in starting him.
I want to really thank those Trueblues who travelled and made themselves heard against the reds. I love these kindred spirits. And by their drive Chelsea played really well in the second half, especially after 55th minute. We played with aggression and hunger and deserved at least a goal.
Up until yesterday, I have a great respect for webb and I was cheering for him in the World Cup. But he proved to be same like other Chelsea-hating referees; I am sure he loves Liverpool and Gerrad more! The two shared a light-hearted banter and I am sure that webb said something like “I will give you endless freekicks until you say enough”. And he gave every Liverpool freekick with a smile and a tinge of excitement and his decisions were mostly against us. Few of the countless decisions he made against us:
• Zhirkov’s merely a foul, forget the yellow!
• Lucas fouls Ashley and we are given advantage but instantaneously Ashely is been robbed of the ball meaning that the advantage had been nullified and that referee must give Ashley the ball back but tuppence webb lets Liverpool to play;
• Carragher clearly fouls Drogba but webb seems to think that Drogba is wearing the red kit!
• When we were running short of time, webb lets gerrad to snail in taking a corner!
• And kuyt can push and dash Ashley as much and hard as he wants to!
I ain’t complaining but these decisions, big or small, steer the game and its result. And for sure webb was liverpool’s 12th man! But all kudos to torres for his brace, hope he reproduces such beauty against manure and citeh!
Talking about manure, they deserved to lose but lady luck always comes to their rescue. But Wolves played really well and I was thinking that they were playing against QPR in manure’s kit! Wolves will come out well this Wednesday! And manure is toothless without Rooney, nani and even berbatov! And yes my otherwise painful weekend was helped to a certain degree by Andy Carrol!
Now, I am being served all the kinky dishes by loserfool fans and yes I am taking it all with a pinch of salt. But I tell them that a single win doesn’t mean much and that a real champion will be known only on the final day of the season. And I am sure the best loserfool can do is get into Europa League!
Wednesday is near and my pain would be reduced greatly by then. As I have said some time earlier, only the two Manchester teams are our real rivals so this Wednesday a draw would be a desirable result but a citeh win would be equally sweet. I would love tevez to score and celebrate in front of the red nose!
We are still at the top and that says it all!
And once more and for the umpteenth time: KALOU DOES WELL COMING OFF THE BENCH! Hark Carlo!



drogba had fever on sat thats why on the bench without essien and lampard we are short on midfielders i dont know no who would have played instead of ramires
heyjose,
May be Josh McEachran! Ramires was awfully wasteful which Josh is not!
Our starting 11 was poor but no blames should be awarded to anyone because lampard,essien were still slined by injury.Our midfield were not connecting with the strikers,liverpool were playing five midfielders against just three that are not strong ,kudos to mikel who tried his best to deliver some accurate passes , we lost even though we fought back in 2nd half.We are still on top with 2 point and i dont think we wanna throw that away.Lampard! were are u,we need you in our milfield.Blues until death!
King carlo made a very big mistake yesterday putting dd on d bench .y?under-rate/overconfidience al d same stil on top.blues til i die
I’ll tell ya’ all again ! Except for Torres the Liverfools were barking savages parking the bus… and like Karma says….. the ref got to probably eff Gerrad’s discards in Merseyside for the favours.
Remember Ya ‘ all !
1. Them refs are dingy ManUre and Liverfool lovin people.
2. If they are slanted then total ineptitude will take over.
3. Their fans are mostly low-class worms who wank themselves senseless.
4. Chelsea is still the BEST !
Sorry I meant : If they ain’t slanted
Excuse me for letting me hate get the better of my diction !
Ramires shud b relegatd 2 th bench.Josh cnt b as wasteful as he has bin in th big games.Its lyk he is scard of th so called big names. Agaist citeh it was th same. Come on Carlo,we can do beta.Dnt experiment on such games, Kalou is efectiv as a sub.
JH’s corner : rants and rudeness
And to those who think the blog is dead …….I, JH beg to differ.
Although, most of us share an interest in CFC we also hafta :
1. go to work ( really work or pretend we are working ) and thereby: pull in dough for chow’s sake or institutions ( preschool to nursing homes )
2. babysit or chase babes sometimes or just do such a lot of modern-day clutter-housework
3. recite prayers ,read self-help books, have more than a few drinks and doze away mornings or view porn in spare time
4. argue with , fight or tolerate sexual and sexual partners. ridiculous bosses, bad governments, demanding in-laws and a lousy economic environment.
5. We just wanna read the stuff others wrote not wanting to get in on the arguments yet or ever…..
But by insinuating that coz a bit of a slack in writing and decrease in comments will culminate in the blog’s demise is quite damn insulting.
Hey this is one of the best reader and fan supported blogs in the universe and so it be for many years to come.
And it’s nearly always open in a browser window when my computer is online ( which is nearly all day )
For a while I actually thought mikel was our biggest revelation of the season but its quite obvious how wrong we all are. He is nothing without Essien! Together with ramires they were a bunch of confused inexperienced lookin duo,causing our downfall. I think Essien should be the highest paid player at Chelsea. Anyway, Blues for life!
4 me i put d blame on mr anccellotti he surpose to start Joshua ahead of stogish ramires & drogba ahead of kallou ok look at first goal ramires mistake in mildfd & d 2nd cole caus it cos he surpose to release d ball quickly 4 me we nd 3more players a goalkeper,a sharp striker,a right winger in january transfer window!
i think it was a wrong decision to keep ramires and i stìl thnk ramires is nt playa for chelsea we sud have kpt matic he wud have bn gud in that position.
lesson learnt….we are still at the top…..period!!!
ahh it’s good to be back jotting down here..
I was hoping that Josh will get playtime, instead of hanging on to Ramires. He made countless mistakes, and losing possession as it’s his thanksgiving day!
Perhaps Carlo might want to have second hard look to the lineup, and start integrate Josh to the first lineup..
Cheers everyone!
Ha! Either they aren’t there at all or they come in braces :) I’ve written my match reactions article and I see karma has already posted one!
Ok we lost the match. Now we have to rectify the problems we had before so that we don’t lose further matches against Liverpool. Oh and I forgot to sing my praises for Martin Kelly. He played well. cheers!
Hello Mr. Carlo.
Please, we want to start seeing JOSH Mcacharan in our starting eleven. He deserves a place there instead of RAMIRES. If arsene wenger should get hold of JOSH, he will be a different player by now. Pls, put him in the 1st eleven or loan him out for experience. It’s hi-time we believed in our young players. If there is something i dont like about CFC, it’s the way we put our youth players to use.
yesterday match proved we need another midfielder or put trust in josh mceachran we lost joe cole deco ballack matic and only brought in ramires and benayoun who is injured and ramires who has not yet come to terms with pl ok lamps and essien will be back but looking at fixture congestion in dec jan we need squad rotation
i thnk drogba wasnt ill .. he ws actually hiding his mistake so dat everyone doesnt criticize his deccsion .. drogba should have started that match and bosingwa should have started instead of ramires .. without lampard chelsea are really lacking creativity and i hopr dat carlo signs kaka in january because he is a playmaker and will do well in creating chances for drogba and anelka .. but wat ever happens i will always be a true blue through and through <3
thanks Karma good job
give me a Chelsea team and i will manage and win games than Ancelotti, Chelsea players are just winning games because there are pro, i don’t like this coach, buy players, he will refuse and now check out the embarrassment, he cannot chance games when things are odd, it really makes me think for ones that we need someone better than him, i don’t like his mentality, please can someone help me communicate this to him.
BC U WERE RIGHT WE LOOSE THE SITE GETS BUSY GUYS. THE
