let's face it - the squad's motivation is wearing off. the majority of current squad members have been around for way too long - JT, Lamps, Cech, Ferreira, Mikel, Kalou, Drogba. at the same time, other teams have more motivation than before. * to me, more than 3 years is considered long enough to lack in motivation. don't blame the owner, coaches and players. Chelsea have a steady system and I'm worried it's becoming obsolete. others are catching up fast. we need to inject fresh system to our team. if EPL is beyond us this season, let's go for UCL glory!

how many times have we seen crosses coming from our right flank and result in goals against us? more importantly, it happens at crucial times. all in all, l*v*rpool are full of thug s**ts!

unbelievable. the ref is extraordinarily moron!

Dearest Dorset, Could you draft a speech for my boss? Your English is way too good. It's too much asking for me to do that as English is just my second language.

Drogba - mightily awesome! Answered those critics superbly. Essien - the best Chelsea player on the pitch tonight. Worked his as* off. What a guy. Lampard - you touched our hearts, Super Frank. Wrap up the season with 2 trophies please. All Chelsea players - haha legends! All Chelsea fans - all abuses are being thrown at us and we stand tall and proud. Go Chelsea! And yeah, this is the happiest day of my life after quite some time. It's been long overdue!

I'm happy with 1-0, with a very early goal scored. If the early goal doesn't materialize, the score could be 3-1. This is what we call prediction.

OMG Kalou. What's into him? He seems clueless on the pitch, gifting freekicks after freekicks. And that doesn't include him losing posession. He must be replaced half-time.

It has been very frustrating so far. I wonder how the neutrals see this match. Ballack off, SWP on. We'll see whats gonna happen.

We just wasted a promising freekick. And why these television providers keep highlighting the empty seats around the stadium, instead of the match per se?

Kalou has been non-existent for the last 15 odd-minutes. But wait, he might nick a goal or two and he'd be a potential MOTM.

Carvalho 1-0!!

The game is now starting. Go The Mighty Blues!

I think this is one of many brilliant posts on this forum.

Superb performance by Chelsea and Drogba in particular. Had a great outing watching the game with friends and great shouts for both of our goals!

He - as a Chelsea player is simply a legend to me. He was one of 2 Chelsea players (the other one is Zola) who influenced me into becoming a Chelsea fan. You can tell by my nickname.

Chelsea 3 - 0 Barnsley (Scorers: Ballack, Anelka, Belleti). C'mon Chelsea! *Chelsea are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 as follows: 23 Carlo Cudicini 35 Juliano Belletti 6 Ricardo Carvalho 26 John Terry © 18 Wayne Bridge 24 Shaun Wright-Phillips 5 Michael Essien 13 Michael Ballack 10 Joe Cole 39 Nicolas Anelka 15 Florent Malouda Subs: 40 Hilario, 22 Tal Ben-Haim, 12 John Mikel Obi, 21 Salomon Kalou, 14 Claudio Pizarro.

I would but I don't know how. My apologies for that as it is killing me too, just to see a vote for him.

Abramovich sums up the game perfectly. But I went for SWP. Is being a headless chicken a new skill?

My bad. I voted in the wrong topic. Thought it was for the worst player. :nono:

SWP. Constant torture to see him play.

I couldn't understand why the players were described as lacking the passion during the game. I think they were up for it and it's normal when tiredness creeping in but they still put strong fight. The only letdown was the tactic. No variation - long balls for 90% of the game, and how can I explain our set-pieces?

Where was the tactical work? Long balls for the entire game? Who decides on tactics? It's the coach! Impeach him immediately!
