As long as his work rate's better than Shola's. I think that could make a big difference right now. Defend from the front. At least in the first half he seemed to be trying hard tbf, was just shit. So far in the second, not even trying any more. If Shola is to come off, it better not be for a midfielder, that would be a little tragic.

Shola is embarrassing. Guthrie should have played it to the right instead, was two of our players and plenty more space. Waste of time giving it to Shola so far from their goal.

nice winning of the header by Cech

Finally Routledge just going for it. Been too much indecisiveness down that right side from him and Simpson.

Shola and Carroll went for the same ball again then. (Couple of longs ball ago now)

Ball was moving for that quickly taken FK

Jonas on ice

3 game ban for Joey Barton.

Meh, same old shit. Bad passing, little awareness and constantly surprised and slow to react at where the ball goes; be it when coming from teammates or off his own body.

ffs, was going straight to Krul before the touch

Lucky there. Didn't think it was a foul on Tioté. Been a couple of times now he's deliberately looked to take on Drogba personally in risky situations in what might be an attempt just to prove something.

If he's going to push the ball so far away from his feet he shouldn't then be surprised at himself at how far he's pushed it. The guy never has a plan.

Shola: still stupidly shit.

Do Shola and Andy not communicate or something?

A little too much at times... put in a very reckless tackle on Bosingwa earlier.

One of the first signs he's shown of belonging at Chelsea.

Argh... needed just a little bit more on that pass.

Good stuff from Sol. Got some distance on his clearance too.

What the fuck was that from Shola... set up their counter brilliantly.

CARROLL WITH THE RIGHT FOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my word

Very tricky to score tbf... had very little room between players, but yeah had to at least ask the question.

So unlucky with the way it came off Malouda... could have gone anywhere

No foul there. Good honest shoulder barge. Will take it though.

Drogba acknowledging his mentor. Going straight to Shola for an embrace.
