pistolpetes11

No match thread , so I said I would take my turn

Genk started off the better team, Chelsea coming into it a little more now

smallerthanyou

Score, just found it hidden on Sky Sports 4.

smallerthanyou

Team: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Ivanovic, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Meireles, Malouda, Torres, Anelka.

pistolpetes11

Is that Glenn Hoddle commentating ?

Have a good aul moan bout Torres !

Genk fans are very good voice

pistolpetes11

Great one two by Ramieres and Torres and Rambo sends it home .

Ramires

Assists from Torres

smallerthanyou

Goal! Nice from Torres but probably still give out in commentary if he doesn't score one himself.

Camera angle on Sky is very very far away.

Seem to be very vocal, great fans. They were brilliant at the Bridge too.

MUSEIST

nice assist from torres:)

smallerthanyou

Smashed the crossbar then penalty. Get Anelka away from it.

Luiz?

smallerthanyou

Thought as much. Awful awful pen. Surely we have someone else?

pistolpetes11

WTF was Nando not taking that peno ???

Bloody disgraceful ,

Luiz missed , good save from the keeper.

Torres should of taken it, what was Luiz doing taken that?

Commentators said he never has in his English career.

Why wasn't Torres up to grab that ball. Fair enough lacking confidence but given Anelka takes the worst penalties Torres should have grabbed that.

Does he even take penalties, i dont recall him scoring one for liverpool??

As for luiz, I hear he is an excellent dead ball striker so it does not suprise me he took the peno

...because clearly luiz was choosen before the match to take penalties.

I'm sure torres would have loved to take it

Any goal he gets will be good for him and his confidence which he is desperately lacking.

I don't think Torres likes taking penalties but i'm sure you are right about Luiz being the designated penalty taker so it doesn't matter whether Torres wanted to take it or not

Flip side of that would be if he was the one who missed it then it may have knocked his confidence.

Torres is fine. He will bang in goals this season now IMO.

He has being playing well and scoring of late , whats this about lack of confidence :eek:

Obviously he was chosen from the start, I just can't understand why! He never seems to have taken one before by the looks of it and there were other players on the pitch that also having never taken them before are better equipped.

Ah hopefully don't bite us. Qualifying as it stands.

You could also say a miss from something as easy as a penalty would crush his confidence even further. Bit of a no win taking a penalty.


Edit: Amiable beat me to it, much more eloquently.

MUSEIST

good save cech

pistolpetes11

Great save , badly needed after the shocker he had at the weekend !

Genk are looking the better team here .

And they score ! Well deserved

Disturbing chant about Anton Ferdinand from large section of Chelsea following in first half. Sad to say, there will be fall-out from that.

Not nice to hear

I don't no what makes you think that hes only scored 2 goals in the league this season,and in the game against Arsenal he was a ghost and there the games that count. Hes also a ghost in this game and has done nothing apart from the assist.

1-1 now and it was deserved.

pistolpetes11

Anelka has once again offered us SFA tonight, take him off please .

Really annoys the life out of me , plays a good game every 3 or 4 games

amiable

Large section of Chelsea fans singing
'We know what you are, we know what you are - Anton Ferdinand we know what you are'

pistolpetes11

And Anelka is off , AVB rang me on the blower said what do you think pistol, get shot of Anelka was the response.

Jesus that commentator has a bee in his bonnet bout Nando.

I think it's Tony Gayle

smallerthanyou

Not Hoddle, can't remember who but not Hoddle, saw it after half time. He's picked at Torres since start. Reckons he should have come off for Sturridge so strongly he's said it three times now.

How many league goals has he scored this season?

smallerthanyou

Jeez Lampard is having a Torres.....

pistolpetes11

Danny has been top class since coming on , Lamps missed an open goal

willmunny1990

At least Danny is injecting a bit of life into us.

Hank Scorpio

malouda ..

smallerthanyou

So so unlucky.

willmunny1990

Hope we get the result, even though we were woeful tonight i dont want us going away to Blackburn with a bad result. At the moment we need to be concentrating on the Prem and going into Blackburn away with this result and performance is not good.

michael999999

pressure on the Chelsea manager now!

smallerthanyou

I have yet to see a fourth official add any value to any game so far.

BERBA

they'll be going nuts next sat morning on soccer am seeing as they Genk mad on that show:D

MUSEIST

Poor performance but good result away from home. Happy enough but we need to take our chances

amiable

Chelsea still control the group.

Sky commentator was at pains to point out it was a game Chelsea should have won(and they should).
But it's not the worst result in the world
