...Ramsey? (I know it's pretty unrealistic he'll ever be here but now he seems to be injury free I think he would be perfect)

I was listening to the game on talksport last night and they were talking about the lights changing before the match started. I've been wondering whether we'd be using them in the buildup since we got the new led ones. Think it could look awesome on the big Champions League nights, all changing to blue when we score or something. Anyone who went last night have any info?

with Jose in charge? Maybe stave off relegation by their teeth... doubt it though. Saying that, I would love to see bamford/feruz given some gametime after xmas

...and hammering torres is getting very boring.

is it just me or is Ashley looking more suspect by the week? Don't get me wrong still a great player but seems to be getting beaten far too easily at times and really struggling to get back. Besides that, two of the hardest away trips (on paper) done and dusted; can't be too down to with two draws.

Something about deadline day, always have that desire to see "Breaking news from Chelsea" popup, regardless of whether you think the squad needs any improving or not. Although it would be silly to say I'm not happy with the squad we have, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking additions are always up for debate. Just wondering if you could see one more come in before 11pm who it would be? (realistically speaking)

As one of three/four strikers who are ready to step in to the team (ideally with someone else coming in as well), yes. As a first choice to lead the attack all season, no.

With the fixture list we've got coming up and the lack of depth we have in certain areas in the squad, I think it would make a lot of sense to start giving Islam a spot on the bench. If only for the reason that if Torres or Ba picks up an injury we're literally down to one, and at least we would have someone waiting. I'm not saying he should necessarily be thrown into the fire, but 10 minutes here or there if the opportunity arises can do no harm at all. I think his pace would cause almost any defender a problem, and would just be another potential option.

So I saw the fuss in the Sunday Mirror and was wondering how good this kid actually is? From the sounds of the article he is very highly rated with Barca among others hovering, anyone seen much of him?

Not that i went into today thinking there was too much chance we going to go there and get the win, surely we have more to offer as a team than that though? We looked so short of confidence and ideas going forward. I'm a big fan of Ramires but that has to go down as a bit of a shocker, not that i'm singling him out, just expect better. As bad as Torres has been, and Ba has hardly set the world alight, we look so rigid and slow we don't really look like we have an actual striker playing a lot of the time. We are better than this!

cretin

another 3 points chucked away

i don't get this 'lucky' part when it comes to things like the penalty's, it's not as if some freak act of nature conspired to guide Robben's kick the way Cech decided to dive, or sent Messi's penalty just that bit too far into the corner. And any portions of luck we may have got along the way, no more than any other team that has won the thing, should be overshadowed completely by that performance in the Nou Camp

surely you remember this...

demba ba anyone? all this talk of Falcao in January, but surely it makes sense to spend 7million (if that's true?) and get a striker in who seems to be more than capable of scoring goals in this league as a backup/rotation with Torres and Sturridge. Then hey, if it doesn't work out, sell him and torres in the summer then look at revamping with a big money man like Falcao or Cavani or the next 35m+ rated guy.
