The victory at Anfield impressed me in the sense that they achieved something impressive. I have seen a lot of Chelsea this season though (we get a lot of Prem live down here, more than in England in fact) and I am constantly amazd by their inability to get the most out of their resources (the players). Have you ever seen Drogba or Essien playing for their coutries, saxonlad? Or for that matter their previous clubs, Marseille and Lyon? It's like watching different players. They have been dumbed down, Chelsea style. Chelsea constantly choose underdog tactics when they are far better or equal to their opposition.

Interesting, was thinking exactly that about Ballack. He's nothing like the commanding presence he is with Germany.
The converse is true with Gerrard and England.

Not sure I totally agree but you make some valid points. I have seen Chelsea play teams off the park, Villa home, Boro away, Pompey home but also seen them play crap when they should have won at a canter. I have seen Drogba play for Ivory Coast and Essien for Ghana but they are given different jobs to do. Chelsea need a manager to come in and stay long term. Chopping and changing does not help. Fergie at OT proves the point.

I think you are right, they haven't had a lot of stability on the management front, and have been pretty successful considering.
Abramovich (or however you spell the Oligarchs name) has according to the press stated that it is the end for Drogba. He is supposedly furious at the teams behaviour at the final whistle. Do you reckon Drogba will go? I seem to remember Drogba was a certainty to leave last season because of his sending off in the champions League final.

Drogba isn't that liked at SB. He has been given loads of stick for his diving and I would like to see him go. Chelsea do however need to bring in a quality striker if he does go.
I wish Chelsea had given Steve Clarke a go at being manager when Mourhino left. Very well respected at SB and would have kept some stability.

If that's the case don't give it to Drogba, he'll miss the shot, fall over, and blame someone else for the outcome.Not a chealsea fan myself! but anyone can see that chealsea were robbed, The ref needs to be shot
