    woo three posts in a row \o/

    Arsenal game is gonna be tough, we need to show off our football again to get over that shocking champions league game. Got to hope Anelka and Deco can perform as we've no options at the moment. I think Drogba's got to go in Jan, he's not fit and I'm not entirely sure he's motivated.

      Can't see beyond a Chelsea win this weekend to be honest. Arsenal are struggling for form, stability and goals.

        so many ball up front that didn't result in an attempt on goal. Offside goal changed the match and we were unlucky on that front but with our current form we're not doing anything with possession.

          I fancied you lot for the title this season, but now I'm not so sure. You really should have killed us off. Yeah, the goal was miles off-side, but after that, Chelsea didnt create anything, and Arsenal looked well up for it.

          Great game though!

            Was a fascinating game to watch. After the own goal I fully expected Arsenal to crumble but they had a lot of fight in them. They played as though they knew their season rested on this match. Yes, they got a bit of luck with the offside goal but they deserved an equaliser on the run of play. I think Chelsea had 1 shot on target all match and even that wasn't their goal.

            I have to say, even as a Utd fan, I've felt Chelsea were odds on to run away with it this season but feel there's a good scrap in this season now. I think Chelsea have had the easiest set of fixtures of all the big 4 (including playing the other 3 at home) and haven't really capitalised on that. 1 point from 9 against your title rivals at home is not good enough really.

            Interesting to see what happens at Anfield tommorrow now.

              It's still looking like it's grim up front for Chelsea.

              When we're up against a team with an average defence, we run rings around them. When we're up against a strong defence we can't do anything. At this rate it's going to be another season of second place for everything.

              Need a striker in the transfer window desperately. Need someone who can take advantage of our possession and shake up defenders.

                Drogba and Anelka are ace, mate.

                Oi, and stop staring at Torres

                  Drogba's not fit and he gets injured far too often and Anelka's been good but we need an option for when we need to shake things up.

                  At the moment the problem we're having is not being able to change things enough when dealing with a defence that is doing well against us.

                    If you have a bad game or two, it's buy buy buuuuy!!!

                      Drogba hasn't had a good game in many months!

                        Oh how I wish our game next week was at the bridge. Our current away form is great and it seems like now is as good a time as any to get Chelsea away. Still, hopefully we can get a result at the Reebok.

                          But of course. It's been AAAAAAAAAGES since they scored 5 goals in a game. Clearly lacking firepower

                          Here's the new team roster after the January window:

                            Or 4, or 5.

                            It's not as noticable as they've been spread out between competitions but Chelsea have put in a lot of bad performances of late (2 league, 2 CL, 1 League cup)

                            Because Man U were happy enough with their high scoring squad not to top the spending tables 2 seasons in a row and to spend record amounts on attack minded players...

                              We take the piss out of the Chelsea mentality. Sure, other teams spend money where needed to augment their squad. But you'd only see a Chelsea fan screaming "BUY BUY BUY!" after a few poorish games. A decent manager will use what he has and get the players already there doing their jobs. And you've got a decent manager!

                                We needed a big signing last transfer window but were, of course, outbid by Man City. Deco has been a great signing but he's not a longterm addition and was bought because he was a quality player that was undervalued.

                                We've got Essien coming back and it's possible Drogba will return to full fitness and be motivated (kenyan has confirmed chelsea won't be selling him in Jan). However we've aging injury prone forwards, the longer we wait to provide quality alternatives, the more problems we're storing up. The prospect of having to rely on Kalou to score on a regular basis is worrying.
