He should have cleared upfield instead of hanging on and knocking for a throw in You're kidding, right? He got played a horrible ball under a lot of pressure.

"He's back, and he's on the score sheet. The man is amazing" It makes me want to vomit.

The commentator's suckfest of Gerrard is so grating. They claimed that he had no hand in the goal but that his "mere presence" has brought Liverpool back into the match. Then every good touch he has is "oh brilliant by Gerrard there"

Ryan Taylor at LB.

Don't really think it's Vuckic's fault to be honest. The match is just clearly passing him by. This has been a pretty crappy match from both sides. We are severely lacking any kind of game here, it's just hoof and hope at this point. We need some more control in the center of the park (ie: HBA for Vuckic) and try and get a hold of this game. I think it's waiting for someone to do that.

Great chant.

Obviously not having Ba in the lineup will be a huge miss but if we don't go overboard (ie: start Shola) and start with Ben Arfa off Best I don't think we're that weak by any stretch of the imagination. We could still get a result.

Is he really naming the kid Morrissey?

Funnier than it should've been.

His body language suggested he did but I didn't actually see anything come out. Definitely leaves his foot in as he walks away though.

If we had those six points from Swansea and Norwich :'(

Glad to see him living up to the potential of "scoring goals wherever he goes" - this has been a great signing, can't believe he's leading our front line. As far as upcoming fixtures in January, I'm not sure we'll miss him as much in the FA Cup as I hope we put out a more "experimental" squad with the likes of Best and Loven getting a start up front with some good firepower behind them. We'll miss him in the PL though, but I think it is a very winnable set of fixtures.

I couldn't care less about formations, I would love to see us have a team of players who don't stick rigidly to any of them and just adapt to a game. how long have i been going on about that ? All we need is: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Tiote Cabaye Four More People

Hope it's not in the Championship, personally. I have a lot of time for Coyle and what he's trying to do there. He has a much better approach to the game compared to the Stokes and Blackburns which I wish would just fuck off.

Can't wait to see how many racist fans Chelsea has too.

Worrying about going down? Nah, sorry like but that aint happening. I'm worried our great start is going to be completely wasted, but that's about it. This. What a horrible string of results. But when you go into the season one or two injuries away from a Perch/Colo starting CB pairing you're asking for trouble. What a shit situation to be in. We got hit with horrible injuries in a very "easy" part of the season and have dropped points left and right which is worrying but shit happens and you need the squad to deal with it and we don't have that.

What has happened to the team that started this season? We were just wearing some rose-tinted glasses and not looking at the long-ball we were actually playing or have we really gone backwards?

What the fuck? 85th minute? How disappointing. Haven't seen the match yet but I'm sure it's as depressing as it sounds.

Vuckic for Raylor and that's not a horrible shout. Still think he'll go 4-4-2 though. Just hoping that HBA starts, don't care where to be honest.

Berbatov, whenever he actually gets on the pitch.

We'd be up to fifth if we had picked up three points against Norwich and Swansea. :'(

I wouldn't go as far as to say that we "dodged a bullet" with Gervinho but I would say that I don't think we're missing much after having missed out on him.

You think Pardew is saving HBA for the "better" teams?

Promising first half. Ba looks well fucking up for this.

Of course not, but others would like to think so. If Ashley wasn't going to "splash the cash" on this guy then he surely wouldn't spend the money to set up an elaborate plan for this kid to fail a medical.
