Its not just cech, every clearance we make seems to fall to an opposition shirt. Inlers goal against us in europe for example, we're very unlucky that way.

Got what we deserved. 2 shots the whole match isn't good enough. Looks like curtains for essien he will never be the same player again or does he look like he wants to be.

Lampard as Manager and Cole as his number two I say.

Absolute Disgrace. Thanks Frank & Ashely you spoilt brats I hope the pair of you are shipped out this summer.

Agreed. Its plain to see the old guard are continually comparing the new manager to mourinho and taking the hump because they dont think hes as good. Also far too many numptys on here calling for AVBs head, I can only assume they didnt follow Chelsea pre-roman times. Also I hope to God that Roman told the players andres staying whether you like it or not.

Not looking forward to this one. I can see a double cup exit on the cards within the next week.

Players. Introduce performance related pay and they wont be long wakening up.

I feel we will see him come good once we get rid of Malouda, Kalou, Mikel, Bosingwa, Drogba & maybe Lamps.

I am, all the way. 4th place with a team of 30 somethings and a dud up front isn't too bad actually. My only concerns are Malouda and Bosingwa are still getting the nod.

Rubbish. He scored a good penalty but i'm sure Mata would have buried had he not been on.

would like to see Ivan luiz terry cole Mata ramires meireles Malouda ----- Sturridge Torres

Pleased to see Lampard not starting today, he can't play them all.

Need to take it back to basics. Cant play like barca with our slow midfield and very poor delivery from malouda/mata. Strange that AVB hasnt spotted this.

Well he was supposed to be one of the hottest young prospects in world football so naturally I expect to see a glimmer of excellance but to be honest ive seen league 1 players with a better touch. Yes you are right though it is early days so hopefully he improves.

Have to agree Lukaku looks pants, 20 mins or not.

My only worry is our 'black' players will buy into this bullsh1t and it will hit our performances.

Im not even annoyed at Luiz for giving away the penalty, thought he was unlucky. I love his style of play hes not afraid to get stuck in, reminds me of Dennis Wise in a way. Would love him to get a run in DM. Think Drogbas just dropped down the pecking order, hes been woeful this season.

Great team spirit this season. Thought avb made the wrong choice bringing sturridge off though, should have been Drogba. Cant wait to get them back at the bridge. KTBFFH

Josh isnt in the champions league squad anyway is he?

Excellent performances from Luiz, Romeu & Torres, also Merieles is starting to look a great buy. Pity Torres didnt get a hat-trick. Think us playing at a slower tempo 2nd half didnt help and maloulda being greedy didnt help either. Fair play to Anelka he tryed to set him up at every oppurtunity and lastly respect to the Genk fans, they were awsome you would have thought we were away.

Anyone else think chris waddle was being a bit of pratt. Apparently Everton dominated it ? Tosser

It is true, everton are unbeaten in the last 6 in the league against us. Also 5 draws in a row at the bridge so dont hold your breath tonight lads.

Please no. Ship him out in January I say. He'll prob end up being brilliant wherever he goes though. Typical.

England won't win it with or without him. Quarter final team at best as has been proved over the last number of decades. The media and most of the English population seem to thik they are good enough, for whatever reason I do not know.

Torres and Lamps shouldnt have been subbed. Oh and is it just me or just we always seem to get a rookie who turns out to be the hero playing agaisnt us.
