Borini 1-0

1-1.

Ben Gordon looks good going forward down the left side

Borini and Matic look like a good duo...there both easily connecting the passes between each other!

Yup definitely - very impressed with Matic! Some other good performances out there too.

Matic was the best player for us in the first half, Kakuta is a bit anonymous so far.

Matic looks very good, his passing is excellent. Borini looks confident, definitely one for the future. Kakuta's been very quiet so far, apart from a good shot near half-time. The team looks better than they have in recent weeks.

great stuff from borini near the end of the half. would have been brilliant if that one had of gone in.

Im watching the match aswell. Kakuta is anonymous but had one good shot, just before HT. lets see what he can do now in the secound half.

I think I had said it before but every time I watch Matic he reminds me of young Ballack, strong tall midfielder who has got great soft touch and brilliant distributor of the ball. Very intrigued by him.

borini looks very lively.... going to score again if he continues like that

I think we will win 3-1.

Borini is lively, indeed.

birmingham 2-1 up

I really think we are playing pretty bad to be honest. kakuta is offering nothing.

our passing is getting worse as the game goes on

Finished 2-1 to Brummies. Very disappointing second half.

Kakuta was poor which is I guess understandable, given how long he was out. Matic bossed the midfield in the first 45 but faded after the break. Borini was relentless throughout and impressed me once again but he couldn't do everything on his own.

1-2 FT

Very poor second half. Chelsea are a young side and seemed to lack stamina and concentration the longer the game went on, while bottom team Birmingham had a few experienced players in their side. The commentator was getting desperate, trying to blame the pitch for the performance, but that was just bollocks. Next week we're away to double-champions Aston Villa, who are unbeaten this season and have already stuffed us 4-0 at home - should be painful watching!

second half we were aweful. did anyone else see this in the chat?

thats why rooney left everton cause he was selling drugs n was about to be kneecapped n his family had there windows put in nearly every weekend n they had there house raided by police lots

i don't think its true somehow but i creased up reading that!
