What's goin on at chelsea mate? You had pretty much your best team out against the rags the other day and they had a wank midfield. Drogba didn't want to know. I saw the line ups and thought you should have done them
The side we put out should have been good enough. But you have to allow for the fact that Ballack is now shite. Deco is a lightweight and doesn't look too fussed. Drogba doesn't want to be a Chelsea player anymore and is still pining for his beloved Jose. Mikel is over-rated. JT (though still a great skipper) is struggling form wise. As is Joe Cole.
We all longed for better football. Despite the success Mourinho brought, at time the football was duller than dull. I would honestly go without trophies if it meant we started playing football like Barca or Brazil and to start with I thought Scolari had got it right.
But something has gone wrong big time (too many ageing players who have no hunger doesn't help) and at the moment we don't even look like troubling the opposition keeper.
Right now I'd take a top 4 place and a bit of an FA cup run but I wouldn't put money on either.
