Drogba 65- still a long way to go before the English GCSE but I reckon you oughta practice 'would you like fries with that?' if your current spelling/grammar is anything to go by.

Well i can only imagine that the atmosphere inside stamford bridge is getting more poisonous as the days go on.

The match was a clear example of how chelsea's achilles heel is only just below the surface. To lose Terry suddenly puts this whole team of superstars in jeopardy? Very weak team then.

Gallas was made a scapegoat and this january will see a few more players put out to rot in the newspapers.

Not good karma.

CHELSEA SUPPORTER

I am very disapointed with another 2-2 draw and another 2 goals conceeded thats 8 conceeded goals in 4 games. Obviously something is not right in our defence could it be that Petr Cech and John Terry are missing or is it the general defence all together. I don't think the injuries is a problem i just think because they are missing the squad has lack of confidence in the weekend back 4. Yes JT is a world class defender and captain but we have so many defenders to replace him and yes Cech is a world class keeper but why not try a new stratagy and have Marcus Hedman in goal instead of the unsure hilario and boulahrouz to replace JT.

These injury problems is not the problem in our performances the hole squad needs to have faith in the back 4 and the the midfield and strikers need to concentrate in there jobs aswell thats the problem.

The only players trying their best is Frankie Lampard and Didier Drogba but they can't keep the hole squad going the others need to be at the top of their game if we are going to regain the title.

I also Think that Mourinho needs to try a new stratagy instead of the narrow 4-4-2 diamond and just have the basic 4-4-2 with wingers i.e SWP and Arjen Robben this will support sheva who is not scoring goals but is dioing a great team play job but wingers will help give great derliveries to help sheva be at the top of his game.

I would have my starting 11 like this.

...................HEDMAN...............

..FERRIERA..BOULAHROUZ..CARVALHO..BRIDGE

..SWP.......ESSIEN......LAMPARD...ROBBEN

...........DROGBA......SHEVCHENKO.......

The reason i think Hedman should replace the two injured GK cudicini and Cech is because i have seen him play in researve games and i think he is much better with his strong steady hands, leadership, Confidence and a much better shot stopper than the unsure Hilario. The defence should be Ferreira at RB as he is our only good rb available and last season he did a great job in defencive play, boulahrouz should go back in CB to replace JT as he is a very good professional defefender as we saw against barcelona defending against Ronaldinho, Bridge should replace A.cole as Bridge is much better than Cole at defending aswell as going forward than Cole also A.Cole has been very poor in his last 4 games. The Flat four midfield should be SWP at RM as he has the pace, speed, finishing qualities and delivery experties and he is the only winger available in his position as JC is out for the whole season also SWP needs to play more games, Esseien should replace Makelele as Maka is to old at the age of 35 and JM needs to concentrate for the future also Essien is our best player this season in all postions and can play anywhere, Robben should replace Ballack because ballack seems he can't be bothered at running in the pace of the EPL and he's not at the top of his game this will give Lampard the chance to control the midfield as VC and burst foward to score goals and diliver SP. Finally Sheva and Drogba upfront as they both seem to set each other up and compliment each other when the other striker is low.

Marcus Hedman???? Who he? The keeper Celtic put out to pasture coz he was too unreliable? 'Strong steady hands'???? Wait til you see him flap at a cross.

Much as I like to see chaos and disorder amongst the Village people, Magnus would make Hilarious look like a quality keeper.

Shevchenko_Rocks

I think Bridge replacing Cole is a liability. Cole is better, more clever and faster. I think our main problem is Lampard, I know he adds to the scoreline but thats it, he gives away possession, he only thinks of hitting it long, he ignores his position by exposing Cole to beaten by 2 advancing players... I would rather play Essien and Makalele in the middle with 2 wingers than playing Lampard/ Essien... because Lampard would be relying on Essien to do the donkey work and ignore the fact that he would need to track back late runners into the box. SWP runs without thinking, Kalou is good but as a striker or Winger? is the question. Drogba is our saviour this season but creating for Shevchenko might be his problem and Lampard lack of abitily to thread in passes to Shev is frustrating...If Lampard had half the ability of Ballack or ballack had the energy of Lampard or Essien we would be in a different position. I know we are six points behind but I feel its over, 2 seasons ago we were 5 points ahead of Arsenal, and Arsen Wenger was still optimistic that Chelsea would drop points! what happened the points started to grew because of the pressure... and a team winning 2 titles theirs a possibility the the hunger has dropped... Mourinho is only 43 he hasnt seen the amount of "moons" SAF has seen so from this "Drama" he would learn a valiable lesson about assembling a squad!

Baby boy blue..

I think its ballack thats the problem he aint doing his job well enough all what he seems to do is walk the midfield and pass to someone like essien and lampard coz he can't be asked to run the pace of the EPL. Sheva is a WC striker he does a great Job for the team and is helping Drogba score goals by setting him up all the time. Lampard and JT are the Core of this team they are our best players and have been for 3-4 seasons and still are Lampard yes likes to shoot, but he scores them half the time, keeps the midfield in order and dilervers great SP. The wingers would be a great idia SWP should play and have Robben in LWM position as they are the fastest wingers in the EPL and play very identical to each other.

I think JM should dropp Ballack so Ballack can think more on his game and not his wages. Yes he is a great midfielder arguably the best in the world but he aint showing it so far and is thinking of himseld to much and not for the team.

Baby Boy Blue!!!

Lampard is far from the problem.

He has again like he has for the last 4 seasons been Chelsea's most creative player in midfield. He don't just score crucial goals but he assists them too. It was he against Fulham who was scoring and setting up Drogba whilst Ballack was stood around with his hands on his hips. When Ballack had his only chance to do something positive in that game by clearing a ball from his area he f'd it up!!! As a result of Fulham scored

In the Nou Camp it was Lampard again who scored a wonder goal to equalise whilst Ballack did Sweet F ALL on his biggest stage in the champions league!!!!

Apart from a deflected free kick Ballack has scored a few headers which most have been set up by Lampard!!!!

Are you sure you actually support Chelsea?

I think you have a strange dislike of Lampard who real Chelsea fans value as our hero player over the last 4 seasons.

I suppose you also think he is the problem for England too!!!

Are you a Gerrard fan or scouser in disguise?

Hmm, Chelsea fans finally cottoning on to Lampard. Wonder goal against Barca? Wonder fluke.

Five more goals to Ronaldo and Lampard's record is gone.
