The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

[Norf Tyrone]

You can cut and dice the stats about points, goals scored etc but Chelsea were clearly the third best team in that group.  No complaints.  BTW while I doubt they will win the CL Shakhtar Donetsk could surprise a few "big" teams.

Well done to Celtic too.  I'm sure most observers thought they would finish bottom of that group when the draw was made.

I thought that too given their performances against Chelsea as they were superb in those games. However other results e.g. last night suggest that maybe they aren't as strong as I first thought.
The other problem they have is that they've no game for 2-3 months, so their last 16 game will be a cold start.

Again though as you say, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them and Juve make a bit more progress.

Benitez must be wondering how Liverpool lost at home to that Aston Villa side?

Poor result against the Swans but all you care about is coming onto a Chelsea thread to have a dig at Liverpool

RAFA OUT

Chelsea are a good side. I think if they get a good striker they could win the league. Torres has completely lost it for too long. Solid defense and very creative midfield.

Chelsea should challenge for the title and will improve on last seasons sixth place finish.

If rafa was in since the summer Chelsea would be a few points clear at this stage.

you get the impression from Rafa than any transfers in or out in the next month will have nothing to do with him, he jsut gets the team prepared for matches.

Keeping the seat warm till june for Pep.

One of Rafa Benitez worst ever results and is Harry Redknapp going to pull off the great escape?
