EPL V Pool

Away, Tuesday May 8, 20.00

We never get tired playing with them. Never.
Sigh.
First half wasn't bad. Is Luiz still injured?
Start sturrige?

I don't care a lot about this match. We would need a miracle to make the top four, so I would say rest the important people and play kids (Bertrand, Romeu, Lukaku...) and the players who can't play in the CL final (Terry, Ivanovic, Meireles, Ramires).

My line-up: Turnbull, Ferreira, Terry, Ivanovic, Bertrand, Romeu, Meireles, Ramires, Malouda, Sturridge and Lukaku.

I don't know about not caring, I'd still like to thump Liverpool - but I also don't believe we should risk any of the regulars.

Alec_Cobas · May 8th, 2012, 09:41

Imagine an injury to Mata or Drogba. We can't let this happen.

Terry has been absolutely awful tonight, getting mistakes out of his system before Munich

Maturin · May 8th, 2012, 20:29

Crap defending for the goals.

I think Chelsea are making sure they don't end up in the Europa League next season with that defending.

las7 · May 8th, 2012, 20:34

We won the FA Cup we are already qualified for the Europa League

This is by far the worse performance i've seen from our lot this season and we have been very poor in quite a few games. Gotta be worried cause it's only been 30 mins and we are already 3 down.

Poor Turnbull, not the greatest player but to be thrown to the wolves like this is a bit too much for him.

Maturin · May 8th, 2012, 20:40

Oh my bad you are in the Europa Leaguie are you if you don't win in Munich.

Penalty for the Scouse, but that's pretty soft - Ivanovic continues our defensive howlers tonight.

Downing misses the penalty

devupisces · May 8th, 2012, 20:52

why is chelsea even on the pitch??? could have given match away without playing.

terry, ivanovic, essien, sturidge, malouda, joking around.
only torres looks lively but has again no service.

we still had an outside chance of finishing fourth. but these players dont want to. disgrace.

Marc · May 8th, 2012, 20:53

Have Terry, Essien and Brana been on the crack pipe this evening?

Some of the worst individual displays I have seen.

Liverpool have played well enough but all their best chances have come from Chelsea players.

devupisces · May 8th, 2012, 20:55

essien is past. never been fit after his injuries. looks heavy, stiff.
Another joe cole in the making.

las7 · May 8th, 2012, 21:09

Funky goal

we pluck one back

Ramires scoring against Reina like a boss

las7 · May 8th, 2012, 21:21

I take back what I said about Turnbull absolutely no place in Chelsea FC

wtf was that

devupisces · May 8th, 2012, 21:56

chelsea paid 18 million for lukaku.... Jesus Christ....

and now will loan him to another club in the summer. same for the next season and then later he might leave for nothing or for a couple of millions.
dont know who find these amazing talents for chelsea. and ofcourse we do have mr.roman to back them.

We have been awful picking young players to be honest. Not a single young player to prove he is worth a spot in the first 11. Lukaku has been just

. Never liked him maybe its just me that I don't rate bulky players, but he certainly never looked like a striker that would fit a team challenging major competitions. Also the Drogba comparisons were mad.

las7 · May 8th, 2012, 22:20

Lukaku has had what 60 minutes playing time overall the entire season

Defense and midfield were horrendous tonight and there was very little urgency to win this game or keep concentrated rather than let Liverpool waltz right up into goal scoring positions.

Which is a worry given merieles and ramires miss the final meaning we start final with mikel, romeu or malouda with lampard
