When Super Frank went off injured during the first-half, Chelsea might as well have left 10 players on the pitch because when Malouda came on, he was non existent for his 60mins playing time.

Not a bad performance from someone who has spent more time moaning about the lack of playing time, than putting in the effort on the pitch when he finally gets on.

Perhaps some one should have a word in his shell like advising him to leave his Ruddy hair-alone.

For me though, the ultimate insult of yesterday's performance was the withdrawal of Fernando Torres for Lukaku with fifteen minutes left, putting Lukaku down the middle, still leaving Danny wide right.

Or?!?

What was wrong with switching to 4-4-2, even, starting with 4-4-2 with Mata behind Torres and Sturridge?

If I was Danny waking up in Majorca this morning, I hope he will be knocking on AvBs door asking Why?

Chelsea I am afraid, are Gloriously Predictable.

There is no creativity, no spark and no Plan B and although AvB worked under Jose in his tenureship, AvB hasn't got the cutting edge to dramatically change things like Jose did when things were not working out.
