The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

[AZOffaly]

Lads, seriously what is wrong with Torres? I was convinced he wanted away from Anfield, and that explained his appalling body language, but he's at it again there tonight, even in a comfortable night for Chelsea. He looks like he doesn't want to play soccer any more. I've just watched Kalou make a great run into the box, and Torres made absolutely no effort to make a run across the centre back.

It's quite disappointing watching him, as I think he's a great striker, but he just doesn't look 'at it' at all.

Adam & Campbell both suspended tonight so they are out for sure.
Chelsea are 15/8 minus 2 goals, I am lumping on that.

That was a bit of a kick in the balls Doogie.

Jose f**king Bosingwa!! Had the winnings already spent too!

Poor. Unprofessional. Whatever the word is for unruthless (Maybe that's it), but 3 points.

As for Torres. Previously I thought lacking in confidence, needs to settle, it'll come.

Tonight, he hid, and didn't work hard enough. I thought he came off at the end barely breaking a sweat! As AZ stated a few balls went into the box, and he hung back instead of attacking the near post. Worrying.

However a wee bit of breathing space in the battle for 4th.

What price did you get Ross? I did it too

[AZOffaly]

That's it Norf. Work. He didn't work. I remember when he was going well at Anfield, he'd be bursting himself closing down the opposition as they passed the ball around at the back, and he'd force a lot of turnovers, like Rushie in his prime. The Anfield crowd loved it.

Tonight (and in his last while at Anfield) I saw him pretending to close people down. Jogging to the man with the ball, etc. You got it in a nutshell, appetite for work.

10/1 what odds did you get?

Chelsea aren't going to be far away and I honesty think they will win the league playing well at the right time were united just aren't..although united having played well all year they aren't getting that bit of luck they had been getting through out the year
Do you think Chelsea are out with a few big shout NT?

12/1 with Coral. Could only see Chelsea win all night long, had HT/FT, -1 and over 2.5, the correct score was just a bully's special prize bet, so pleased with a good night's work.

Oh, had Lamps as first scorer too

I definitely think when you look at Torres still and at Saurez and the potential of Carroll then Liverpool did a serious bit of good business. Torres will score goals but at £50m you would expect him to be bursting a gut for you. Seeing as Liverpool can't get 4th I would like to see CSKA London start putting pressure on Slur Alex and hopefully they will lose points, don't care who else wins so long as they don't get to 19!

true about the luck going against united recently, but these things tend to balance out over a course of a season, and i reckon utd are due a bit more bad luck before end of may.

You live in hope, but I think we have to go to United and win as well as basically play out the remaining games without error.

Previously I would've thought that a good possability. However this year we have not been as clinical as previous years, we are still scratching around looking for a formation and too many players not quite on form. Just not enough things tipping in the balance at present.

However.... you just never know.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Not sure what the problem with Torres is. I thought his poor performances over the last 12 months at Liverpool were just down to wanting out of the club but obviously there's more to it than that.

Breaking news in Brazil this evening suggests that long-term youth target Lucas Piazon has agreed to join Chelsea from Sao Paulo when he turns 18, for a reported fee of €10m.

The website "Lance!net" initially reported that the teenager, currently playing for Brazil in the South American Under-17 Championships, will join the Blues ahead of competition such as Juventus, who were believed to have agreed a deal to sign him earlier this year.

The news has since been confirmed by Sao Paulo themselves.

Touted as 'the new Kaka', Piazon was initially linked with a move to West London two years ago as a fifteen year-old, and has since gone on to impress in Sao Paulo's youth teams.

He is set to travel to England at the end of the current international tournament for medical tests and to sign paperwork, before arriving at the end of the year after turning 18, in line with FIFA laws.
