I don't think the referee helped but we were beaten by a better team today on the day

I think for definite think the team could use some freshening up to be honest but hopefully this performance has kicked them up the ass.

To be fair no one has a right to say someone isnt a true fan, we each deal with defeat in our own ways. I personally will watch Chelsea to the last second even if they are 4-0 down but some people are different.

I can't stand Rob Beasley, I know he's a Chelsea fan but I find him embarrasing because he's too biost.

It really doesn't make sense to me either

True, I'm not ungreatful or anything but I am frustrated about the way we play from home and I have said since the start of the season we should have made at leats 1 more signing in the summer.

I agree that we were worthy champions but winning the league by a single point to me makes it seem the team we had needed improving and I have to say I don't think our team is as good as it was last season. Do you see us winning the champions league? I really don't if we play a team with super lightning pace i.e. Real Madrid I think we'll come unstuck

You make a good point, but hopefully it will be addressed. It is weird how we start away matches so poorly I mean what is it the crowds? it doesnt make sense really

Maybe he should have put Malouda in the middle (pretty much played there anyway today) and put Studge in a 3 with Anelka and Kalou (seen as though Drogba wasn't 100%)

Eh I dont get your point I take it your been sarcastic. I was saying I wouldnt sack him cause I didnt want it to come across that I was making that point. I personally think we've missed Steve Clarke, since he left we haven't looked as solid.

The thing is he should have improved the team, we won the league by a single point last season and we let more players out than we let in. Ballack should definitely have gotten a new deal and finished his career here. Oh and for the record I still don't think we should sign Torres, the only reason would be to stop him scoring against us.

We don't really have a choice I thought Zhirkov was awful today and Ramires improved in the 2nd half.

I think what I noticed more is the fact when we went 1-0 up under Jose we didn't lose but under Carlo we have lost. I'm not saying sack him but he really needs to sort things out.

I was worried at the start of the season when our team was weakened from last we clearly needed a new CB and a forwardf in my opinion on top of that we should have kept Ballack.

Cech only one who did anything decent

Right instead of going on about the awful incident that happened today (yes thats what I am referring to it as) I'm gonna look forward to the Fulham game I think we should go with this as our starting line-up Cech Terry Ivanovic Bosingwa A Cole Mikel Ramires Essien (if fit - if not Zhirkov) Malouda Drogba Sturridge

Yeah I hope the players have realised that the this has been coming and it gives them a kick of the backside. We need a Fulham thread now so I can look forward lol

Hopesfully against Sunderland

Well we do still have a two point lead but I hope the players dont think like that. We have to address what has been wrong in the first half and push on we need to still be ontop by December cause I guarantee with that fixture list in December we won't pick up maximum points.

We lost because of a poor first half, something thats been coming for a while I think. Carlo needs to sort it out, Essien best be back for the Fulham game our midfield was lacking power today.

i hate losing to these :(

Yeah just gonna have to pick it up against Fulham

I know I am never that confident

Its not gonna be our day the ball isn't sticking, everythings miss hit hate games like this

Carlo had better drill it into the players that this isn't over and make some changes
