The Illusive Man

Daniel Sturridge, Didier Drogba, David Luiz & Ramires (Vs Bolton)

Not the fact that we lost 3-1 but our finishing was piss poor, so many chances to score yet we just couldn’t find the back of the net.  We dominated large portions of that game only to be let down by sloppy defending and the linesman who had a horror show, allowing two offside goals.  Torres was by far our best play, sure he missed that chance but he was excellent otherwise.  I’m not sure why Luiz wasn’t brought on instead of Mikel, he added absolutely nothing.  Luiz would have given us that inspiration, bite, and passion to go forward and try and get the goals we needed.  I think we’ve finally reached the point where everyone knows Lampard can no longer start every game and play 90 minutes, he needs to be a super-sub.  Bosingwa was crap, horrible on defense and the only thing he did on offense was waste our possession with a terrible cross or lose the ball and end up way out of position.  Overall encouraging signs to how we can play once we shore up our team with a right-back, central midfielder, and right winger.

David Luiz’s goal v. Bayer Leverkusen.

That was such a brilliant goal.

Love you CHELSEA..,
Love you BALLACK..,

What a legend, God bless you Ballack, so underrated yet vital to some of our past successes. 

David Luiz.

Lampard and Ballack reunited, don’t want to let go

By Brooks Peck

Michael Ballack returned to Stamford Bridge for Bayer Leverkusen’s Champions League group match against Chelsea and it proved to be a bit emotional. Prior to the match, Ballack received a warm ovation and Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck presented him with a silver plate to commemorate his four years with the club.

But after Frank Lampard entered the match as a second-half substitute, he and Ballack apparently had a moment. The former midfield partners held hands from a distance, a melancholy look on Lampard’s face while Ballack could only stare.

It was like the end of Titanic, except this actually happened. And no one drowned in the frigid ocean while an old lady rambled about nonsense.

Meanwhile, David Luiz pointed at Fernando Torres (who set up both of Chelsea’s goals) and laughed…

“Haha I have more goals than you.”

Two great of the games, beautiful.

Fernando, you are VERY lucky to have teammates that support you even in your toughest times. Great game by Torres, great goals from Luiz and Mata, and a great win for Chelsea.

Look at that passion, especially from Lukaku and Luiz who were in the stands, brilliant, can’t wait till they’re playing.
