Have you guys seen Marlon Brando’s Last Tango in Paris? It was about passionate love story on 2 oddly matched lovers. One was 50 years old guy where as other was 18 year old petite young girl. Both came from totally different background, culture etc. Chelsea and Liverpool are analogous to those lovers in that […]

Chelsea FC - 2, Fenerbahce SK - nil

By: Sam | Comments 2 Comments

I was hoping for more from the talented Brazilians — ehr-ehm, Turks.
Uneventful game. See the BBC live text. UPDATE: How wrong I was. The game tape is gripping. There are long spells in the mid- to late-2nd half when the Turks dominate and patiently look very close to equalizing. I am still impressed […]

Mateja Kezman, Serbian & ex-Chelsea, had some insightful comments about the shape of his old team against Fenerbahçe this week. He put voice to something that was likely on all our our minds.

Fenerbahçe 2 - Chelsea 1 (tactical assessment)

By: Sam | Comments 4 Comments

Game of two halves.
Chelsea opened very much themselves, although with a lonely Drogba the sole point and without a whole-hearted commitment forward. The own-goal caroming in off the tentative Deivid was a stroke of luck that rewarded the typical Chelsea heavy-breathing endeavor and quite a startling lack of variation, subtlety & ideas in the forward […]
