Dire. Question is will Benitez wake up and make subs at half-time or do we have to wait till 80+ minutes again?

Its just so dis-heartening to see, JT struggling, Lamps off his game (last couple of games) Chelsea look all over the place atm. Get this season out of the way, pray to god we hold on for at least forth, then get Jose back in the summer.

I think it shows more how poor our squad is these days. Beyond our first eleven we just dont have the depth we used to. It makes the decisions to let players like Drogba, Kalou, Bosingwa, Ballack etc all leave on frees look totally crazy, and replace them with players like Marin...

Drogba wanted to go
Kalou was just an average squad player
Bosingwa was absolute crap in recent seasons and a bad apple (see QPR)
Ballack iddnt have the legs and dialled it a coulpe of seasons.

Are you winding me up, are first squad is poor?

Are you seriously comparing Kalou to Oscar, Mata and Hazard?

Apzi, in his first season, is streets ahead of Bosingwa.

Our first eleven is good, but the rest of the squad isnt. You can see that from the first half of this game. Mata is brought on and he completely changes us and is pretty much carrying us.

Im comparing Kalou and Marin. I would much rather have Kalou than Marin. Bosingwa could easily do a job for us(as he did last season), Drogba may have wanted to leave but we could have kept him if we REALLY wanted to, we could definitely have used him this season since Torres has been so bad...

I also agree that Malouda should not be frozen out. Yes he shouldnt be first team but theres no reason we shouldnt be playing him in a match like this, hes an experienced head which is what we need for games like this in cups. Rather than someone like Marin who looks clueless in English football.

Torres is just hopeless, hes even useless against league one Brenford. How long are we going to presist with him FFS?

When we need a goal in a cup tie, Rafa changes Ivan for Apzi

This is why Rafa is a complete and utter idiot.

How about changing the formation, how about err putting on another attacker and going 2 up front?

Rafa should be sacked, completely clueless.

Shambles but at least humiliation was avoided.

Agreed, we just don't have the strength in depth of United and City. We're more like Arsenal, only with a better first XI.

Cahill was far worse. Couldn't pass wind. I can see him being left out on Weds.
