BlueDiva: Ivanovic is too experienced to be making such errors.

A Potential leg breaking lunge u must say - He did actually went for the ball with his studs high and the rules has it that such tackles would only warrant a Red when the ball is missed, though Ref Friend was too Harsh!

debosky: One thing hasn't changed - Luiz still doesn't know how to defend

If i could be quoted right, Kun Aguero and Tevez were prolly missing in the action -Al thanks to Our CB's {Luiz is One} and Mikel and Lamps.

How on Earth did his defending seem bad then Mucho? U can possibly rate his worst game high above Djourou and Mertesacker's Best games!

debosky:

Tevez was missing when he scored that screamer? Kun Aguero was missing when he missed a Yakubu-esque tap in to make it 4-2?

Thanks to your CB's indeed - Luiz escorted Tevez for his goal, Luiz was murked by Yaya T for the tap in that Kun missed, Terry provided an assist for Yaya T's goal, I could go on. . . .last I checked CB's were meant to prevent goals, not assist.



His defending didn't seem bad, it was bad.

lalaboi: Ivanovic will not serve Suspension. . . . Because "Community Shield was not classed as a competitive first-team fixture" . . . .

Yup. . .Sanctions, resulting from red cards shown in pre-season friendly fixtures, will not apply to competitive first team games

The FA Community Shield is classified as a pre-season friendly.

As per the new rules, Ivanovic won’t be facing a suspension for his red card in the Community Shield. Good News!

Until you saw the Goal and the Miss, how many threats were posed by the Argentines. . Er Mucho?

Not really like Per and Djourou who are damn Engulfed in states of Schizophrenia while on the Pitch -- Seen the Former do some sort of Moon Walking Defending!

debosky: Oscar the waste-man, just like his fellow Chelski player Sturridge sent Brazil packing!

Van Persie. . .

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has been named as one of the top 10 best players in Europe for the 2011/12 season after he capped an impressive campaign with a heroic performance in Munich as the Blues lifted the Champions League.

Cech, who was tied in eighth place with Atletico Madrid striker Falcao, who he will face in the UEFA Super Cup on 31 August, was joined on the list by a familiar face in the form of former Blue, and the match-winner in Munich, Didier Drogba, who was named one place ahead in seventh.

On a night no Chelsea supporter will ever forget, Cech made a string of memorable stops during the game against Bayern Munich, before saving an Arjen Robben penalty in extra-time. He then made two further spot-kick saves during the shoot-out to put us firmly in the ascendancy.

Drogba enjoyed a wonderful run in last season's Champions League, turning in virtuoso performances against the likes of Valencia, Napoli and Barcelona, before scoring both the equaliser and winning penalty against Bayern Munich, his last game in a Chelsea shirt before he moved to Shanghai Shenhua in China.

The Barcelona duo of Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, along with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, have been shortlisted for the prize, which will be awarded during the group stage draw for the 2012/13 Champions League on 30 August.

Votes are awarded by 53 journalists representing each of the UEFA member associations, with positions four to 10 already decided after each journalist provided a list of their top five players, with the first receiving five points, the second four points and so on.

In Monaco, the journalists will vote live, via an electronic system, in order to construct the top three positions.

manure, man city and arss nal no get player for this top ten ooo but chelsea had cech and THE DROGBA. na only mouth assNAL and their fans get.

debosky: Bruv you sabi read so? Rafael was blamed for the first goal. . . .did I blame Oscar for the first goal?

Anyhoo, let's leave this dead dog.

Is Chelski signing anyone else before the season kicks off?

Wenger Moving to West London -- Yeah not as a manager, we're running short of Stewards!

nateevs: Kakuta has stated he is leaving.

coogar:

waste of talent @ chelsea!

lalaboi: I disagree with Kakuta being a waste at chelsea. It's not anyone at chelsea's fault that he failed to live up to expectation despite having enough chances within and outside the club. He has not impressed atall!! shikena. He can eff right off.

lalaboi: During Ancelotti's era, he could have had more games, but didn't take his chance. . . He lost the last penalty to send us out vs blackburn in the carling cup. Even started some champions league games. Still didnt impress. Took a wrong choice of going on loan to a prem club fulham, Didn't impress enough to get enough games. Dunno about you but if i was manager and a player isnt showing me what i want to see during the "Little Time" he gets on the picth then he don't deserve anything.

Don't know how well he did at Gijon and when he came back to feature in pre-season, he didn't look quality atall. I know pre-season is about getting back to fitness but when you play 50 -60mins and dont do anything significant you don't deserve the hype.

He can still stay and play the u21 league but he shouldn't be playing at that level anymore, Its too comfortable for him.
