Post match thread-Chelsea.

[Revo]

I said i couldn't give a flying **** about the team Rafa put out, not the outcome of the match you spanner.
We were hardly played off the park and still lost which pissed me off more than anything, more the manner of the defeat.

:whatever:

It's all ifs and buts, but if we had been the spawny team v the mancs and v Chelsea, everyone would be on cloud 9.

When alls said on done, we are down 3 points in the league and out of a cup competition, which whilst it's always nice to win a trophy, no one really gives a ****e about it.

Lets see how the big four fair over the Xmas period before calling the samaritans.

Tonight I am proud of my players.

Can't remember him having any sitters to miss.

And yes he didn't play well.

Still think he's a better footballer and player than Dirk Kuyt but each to their own.

I would say he is a better footballer and player than Kuyt, but right now I'm beginning to think Kuyt, as out of form as he's been, is currently offering the team more than Crouch. Thus far this season I think Crouch has only looked effective coming off the bench. when he's started he's been very average. And tonight was a big aberration

her ****ing here. WELL DONE LADS.

Right just got back - what a library that place is. Their fans were awful.

Complete joke of a performance from that ref. i though Mike knobhead Riley was the most biased ref to home sides? This guy took the biscuit today. Every 50/50 went to them. in fact 60/40s in our favour went to them too.

Fat Frank is a fat w@nker. Piece of ****. Celebrating his f*king deflected goal like that. Nob head.

Lucas needs to go on a weights programme.

Babel needs to be more confident - it will come.

Voronin is not very mobile. Good option off the bench a la Solkjaer I think.

Last straw for me - Crouch can f*ck off. what was he thinking? He was playnig sh*t anyway and missed that siiter of a one-on-one when Carvalho f*cked up. He's not good enough folks.

Sissoko huffed and puffed but as usual he can't pass the ball.

Aurelio was poor. I usually slate Riise but I would have preferred him today.

That's all

I agree with you and Rafa. By and large they all did well up until the sending off.

In my eyes, Crouch seemed to work harder last season.

Plus how could i forget. Xabi is back

Thanks for the replies guys, you've made my night.

This will all be forgotten when we beat a strong Portsmouth OUTFIT this weekends.

A little harsh kopash mate. Didnt think Aurelio was too bad to be honest and Lucas looked ok. And we all know Fat Lumpalard is the biggest, fattest, roman nosed cunt in the prem so you are right there.

[DannyMan2006]

Lucas needs to go on a weights programme.

What Lucas needs to do is show more bottle going in for challengers and stop pulling out of 50-50's when an opponent comes steaming in.

maybe but the nuts Sinclair did on him made me cringe. Can't forget it

[murder_inc]

That will come with experience I reckon Dan. He will toughen up and will only get better and more bottle whilst playing with players like Stevie, Masher and Xabi. He looks like a star in the making imo along with Babel.

[Dhav]

In my eyes, Crouch seemed to work harder last season.

Yes, he did. Given that he hasn't started many games you would expect him to seize his opportunities, but he really hasn't. I don't know if it's an attitude thing.

I think it was Balague who said Rafa had a bit of a falling out with Crouch and his agent, something about Crouch's book. Don't really remember. Wonder if there is anything in that.
