You have got to be frickin JOKING

Look at the BBC player ratings here

 

Djimi Traore - 5:

Troubled by Duff when he swapped flanks and also by high balls. An unconvincing performance at left-back.

 

Xabi Alonso - 6:

The least effective member of the midfield triumvirate spraying a few too many passes astray.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Ricardo Carvalho - 7:

Unfussy, combative and - in tandem with Terry - kept Crouch very quiet.

 

Michael Essien - 7:

Strong in the tackle, superb ball retention and a lone creative probe for his side.

[Stouffer]

DT was man of the match for me. He had Biscans euro touch, boys class!

Oh, get this too

 

 

Rafael Benitez - 6:

Went with a more attacking game plan than usual, but his side failed to match his adventure at home.

 

 

Jose Mourinho - 7:

Tactics designed to avoid defeat rather than achieve victory - so in that sense, a job well done.

Read it vefore I came on here and assumed that they were refering to a different match, I thought Didi was weakest of our midfielders, thought DT was class, thought that Jose played the usual Chelsea way, but just wasn't let get away with it by a team well prepped and drilled by Rafa, thought that Carvalho was just average, and I cannot remember Essien, or any Chelsea midfielder, Robben's shot aside, doing anything.

Traore was easily man of the match. Brilliant game from him.

[chorlton]

If i needed another reason to dislike chelsea then Mourinios fucking whining after the match was it. Really gone off the guy, he is extrodinarily graceless.

 

Thought the post match Carra interview was class. his legend continure to grow.

[MLB]

I agree with the rating for Alonso, but I think Essien was probably worse than him so that alone makes a mockery of their bullshit "ratings". Ratings suck cock anyway. Fact.

[philyhamann]

Don't listen to the BBC reports. They're always a load of shite. Remember when we beat Olympiakos and they were going on about how great Gerrard was, then had the cheek to say in truth it should be Gerrard going through and not his Liverpool team mates. Pricks.

I knew the great dane had moved into town, but i did`nt know he had signed!!

If you had written the script before the game then it would have been exactly as it turned out. Very tight, few chances and too many fouls to allow the game to flow. Chelsea very rarely take teams apart but they are very organised and difficult to break down, same again on Sunday I think.
