We have to stop blaming the manager now. Surely? We had no desire with ancelotti in that last season so we sacked him, at first avb looked good the players the. Couldn't be bothered so we sacke him. And NOW with RDM. The way I see it there are quite a few players at Chelsea that just don't care anymore. Legends or not I just wish they would leave.

Just like last time when he got man of the match...

Birmingham kept atleast 2 defenders marking Torres EVERY second of the game. If Birmingham werent scared why would they waste their defence?

The fact that the team playing today was our strongest 11, is extremely worrying. If that's our best we don't deserve top 4

100% agree

Yes please! :)

H?

I've never sat there but how restricted are the "restricted view" seats?

Mata simply because he gives me hope for the 2nd leg. (when I thought he was injured I almost had a heart attack) followed by Cech and then ashley!

Ivanovic for me Luiz close behind, probably would of gone for mata if he'd of buried the penalty

Might not be home in time to see this game. I'm trying to decide whether that is a good or bad thing...

Ivanovic, luiz and mata looked so pissed off today. IMHO these 3 put 100% effort in every game. Luiz may not be the most reliable defender but the passion he shows for the team is creditable. I really think we're missing jt as captain aswell.

Everytime they get the ball I feel nervous.

These messages sound like RIP messages. He's one of the reasons supporting chelsea isn't boring. One minute I love him, one minute I hate him. Although he can be selfish and dramatic and annoying. I cannot deny what he has done for this club. As much as I don't want him to leave, he has to. He can't stay forever, and it will be a sad moment when he does go.

If you say so.

I feel that avb was given a job far bigger than his expectations, the man had barely any knowledge of the premier leauge (and he hasnt caught on fast). He basically has to "rebuild" a failing top team whilst keeping them in the top 4. I think you need an extraordinary manager for that job.

Then what is his job? To just stand there? Fair play for explaining though.

Thought malouda had this category wrapped up.

Was the person who voted for Cech joking? Didn't know letting in 2 goals was man of the match material?

100% agree, our problems are so much more than just the manager.

Love how there isn't a "player rating" for this game yet. I'm getting my 0s ready.

I could very happily call for avb to be sacked, but honestly i do not think it would make a difference.

Cannot even believe we are 2-0 down at everton. Dear me.

My point. My opinion is we can't seem to find an attacking and defending balance and it's always one or the other

Never thought he should have played today.the mans confidence and head has already gone and he has just had a close family member pass away.surely he isn't going to be in the right frame of mind. Anyway no excuses, should of shot. But definitley not his worst game
