the second half was much more even, southend had a go, they hit the bar too remember?? What a game... Kalou and lampard were very good on the day i thought, especially in the first half. theres something wrong at chelsea when you cant score with all the chances they had.
the fans were silent, and it does make rather a difference when your home fans are getting outsung by the away fans... perhaps thats part of the reason chelsea are performing better away from home :P

Hello Southend, lucky to have got that equalizer ..and yes chelsea must show more desperation. However, the replay can only go one way ...southend goes out. So your excitement is only shortlived.

well done southend played well, mildy is a top keeper, i thought that the food and drinks were way expensive for a hot dog and a beer £6.50, the beer taste dirty what was with all of the stewards comein out in the 88th min.

***********************
Emmm No can't say I saw an even 2nd half to be honest. I saw Southend try and have a go in the last 10 min when they brought the subs on...I assume Big Phil will ring the changes for the replay. If Barnsley can do it why not Southend...Doubt it thou!

No disrepect to the shrimpers but this is the second time in a week Chelsea have conceded at the death when they had dominated both games. It shows a lack of killer instinct and a lack of focus and concentration. O.k. lady luck hasn't shone on us a great deal over the past twelve months but you can't blame bad luck on late goals against Villa, Everton, Wigan and Bolton last season! Chelsea have forgotten how to close down a game and in their desperation to add more goals they keep getting caught. Scolari's attitude to goalscoring is admirable as was Grants but Football is also about defending and not handing out draws to teams that should have been beaten. These draws essentially cost Chelsea a title last season and it seems they could again this season. There are a lot of players talking a good fight but focus and concentration is required not excuses and wishful thinking. Chelsea must learn to believe in themselves again and recapture their confidence. I believe we need a psychologist to pep these guys up and a bit more discipline until the whistle is blown, this is why Mourinho was the master.

So when Scolari has told his forwards how to score goals is he then going to tell artists how to paint or writers how to write.

Chelsea cannot put teams away because they are just not good enough up front. Quality is needed this January rather than another 'squad' player.

Ironically enough we have scored more and conceded less than any other team so far this season, but it seems to be drying up of late. Drogba looks a shadow of his former self and Kalou and Malouda look ordinary. We need something expolisive andperhaps Love, Lavezzi or Fabiano can provide that. We need something different and Essien will provide more punch through the centre but we need two others a creative player like Tuncay and one of the aforementioned..........One more to go..two players in and we should be o.k. Lets be positive.
