First of all I was very impressed with Avb interview after the game. After a positive result jeff who interviews for sky started with a question to bring out negative's , however avb confronted this and made it clear tonight was about the result not about his decision to leave out terry and lamps. its funny how ferguson leaving out his big guns for youngsters is seen as a heroic act
Anyway this was undoubtedly our best performance this season but the best is yet to come. Chech made a solid comeback never loosing his concentration , with sturridge continuing his fine start to the season.
We broke very well today from defense this expected with luiz starting ultimately leading to a well worked goal. The three m's in midfield all had excellent games especially Mikel.
Torres was an improvement which is very positive , look at it this way his teamates appreciate his effort for the team. In that last assist he did really well got away with speed and composure to find the pass. Ofcourse he still has a long way to go but as a chelsea fan my heart is too blue to focus on negatives after a good win.
My take on tonights game

Happy with the result and as long as we happy with the work in progress status and keep with in striking distance of the 2 Manchester teams come December/Jan we are in with a chance.

I thought we were good first half.
Had a poor first 15 or 20 minutes 2nd half but took control once Ballack went off.
We were playing a well organised and decent team tonight who perhaps lack a outstanding striker but are never the less tough to play against.

No ofcourse not , I don't think he is defensive all the time. I like the fact he makes it a priority to protect his team and players just like mourinho but he does so in different fashion which will draw less attention to the club.

I don't blame him for being defensive, the media is so obsessed with Torres that they don't focus on the team. You don't see this fuss made about Carroll

Performances have been getting much better since that nervy win over Norwich, think AVB is really starting to get through to the players
Sturridge and Meireles were my pick of the bunch tonight. Much better from Nando, Luiz also impressed
Negatives-wasn't impressed with Bos or Ivan. For me at least, Ivan at CB is looking an accident waiting to happen. For the United game I'd move him to right back

Agree don mata
In light of this interview it was regarding Avb decision to leave out lamps and terry and whether this decision could of backfired. Avb responded abruptly asking why the first question is designed to always focus on negatives

People keep missing Ivanovic's mistakes. Ive been noticing them for quite a while. He does make some clumsy decisions which dont get picked up on.

Agree mr chelsea , Luiz mistakes are easily highlighted whenever he makes one.
