Firstly I just want to say what a disgrace we were today. Bosingwa has been on a run of good form but today he was awful. All over the place before the goal then he gets sent off . Then Drogba shows a lack of discipline and goes and gets sent off which means he will miss the Arsenal game. Finally why did AVB think when we are 1-0 down and need a goal bring off the two biggest threats on the pitch in Mata and Sturridge. Honestly if we play like that against Arsenal we are in for a thrashing! Oh and Chris Foy was so so so bad today he is a disgrace.
Now to the future against Arsenal we will be missing Drogba and Bosingwa. So who would you play in our line up? I don't know what to think of Luiz anymore he lacks discipline in defence and gives away sloppy fouls. As much as I like him I am starting to doubt his ability as a defender. My line up would be:
----------------------------------Cech----------------------------------
----Ivanovic-------------Luiz----------Terry-----------------Cole
-------------------------------Meireles-------------------------------
--------------Ramires------------------------Lampard-----------
---Sturridge----------------Torres--------------------Mata--------
Basically my questions are:
What did you think if the performance today?
Is Ramires back for the Arsenal game ?
Who would you play in the Arsenal game?
Opinions of Chris Foy?
And do you think we miss Essien as we looked weak in midfield today?
Rant over and my excuse for the game is like a couple seasons ago its the 'unlucky' black away kit

I thought that performance was a very spirited one,QPha were contempt with keeping the score 1 nil despite having 11 men.We were by far the better team dominated them, just not our day. Great effort from our 9 men in my opinion
Just shows how $hit QPha are that there only way of scoring was a pen.

His passing won't be fully explored if he plays at right back. From the centre defence position,he can find through balls and thread them with ease.

Ramires will definitely be back for the Arsenal game.
My team same as yours.
2 Chelsea players sent off at QPR by ref(Chris Foy) sponsored by Tune Group - founded by QPR owner Fernandes. Make of that what you will.
We missed Ramires being there

Mata and Sturridge were targets to hard tackles. AVB is new to London derby. Especially with poor quality like QPR, there only chance of winning was to get rough with certain players. And they did. We had other players suited to this style of game, but its not until later we subbed them in a bit too late.

I like your sincere but the Arsenal game will not be that easy a game for Chelsea though

Taking off Mata and Studge makes perfect sense
I was a little perplexed when he took off Meireles though. He was class today and I think Lamps should've gone

Gooner here
Looking forward to the game. Pity for you guys Drogba is suspended, as he is always a threat especially to a side like Arsenal. His physical prowess normally is a major headache for us. Our RB position is a weakness though, with Sagna injured, I don't think Djoure is capable of holding Mata.
Over all I think you guys have the upper hand and will probably win, although we have won our last 5 consecutive matches, we haven't really played any tough teams. Football is always unpredictable so we will see. Best of luck
