Lesson to Terry:

You spit on people, you slip,
You abuse people racially, you slip

God is always watching. :lol:

It was barely his fault though. That was just a terrible back pass by Malouda.

yep i wouldnt blame terry there , looked like rvp was going to get there anyways , terry might have
a) recovered and stopped rvp ( doubt it)
b) foul rvp , red card
c) put pressure on him and make it harder for him to finish but rvp is more than likely to bury that

just an unlucky play for terry as his teammate left him out to dry

Chelsea really need to sort out things at the back. I still think we should be playing Iva-Luiz-Terry-Cole in the big games.

Bosingwa is an awful defender. His positioning on the Santos goal was comical. I have no idea what he was thinking just randomly ambling towards the middle of the park there. Luiz is reckless for sure, but he cuts out a lot at the back and adds pace in the middle of the park when he plays there. You just hope he doesn't have those bonehead moments. Hopefully with Ivanovic on his right it serves as a safety net too.

Fun game to watch for a neutral yesterday, but it was absolute nightmare defensively for both sides. So many amateur mistakes. Defending in the EPL for the top clubs seems to have taken a step back this year.

I read a report of the game on an arsenal website that spent half the analysis talking about how good the bosingwa-ramires combo was defensively. :dontknow:

Ramires is good, but Bosingwa's never even been average at defending his whole career at Chelsea. That right side (or left side depending on your perspective) had no one defending the whole game with Bosingwa and Santos there lol

No wonder he looked bad all through the season so far. He's easily 10 kilos down from what he used to be.

Yet another evidence high defensive line's not working. It looks like Cech might have a broken nose.

John Obi Mikel is slowly becoming the best DM in the world. No joke.

LFC is so disappointing. Getting outplayed by Swansea City at Anfield.

He's probably one of the better holding midfielders in the world, but is just too limited offensively to be more than that. It's a little frustrating because he's got all the skills but is always a couple of seconds too late in decision making.

He's slowly getting there though, I remember in pre-season he was making all kinds of passes even diagonal ones which was awesome. If he can learn to pick up the tempo since that's what our high line needs, it should be fine.

Man United continue to struggle but are getting results. I hope this break gives the players time to rest and get back to the high standards they set at the beginning of the year.

Fabio Da Silva is a confirmed starter for Brazil's next game. Exciting!
