Chelsea escaped a ton of close Arsenal chances. Very nerve racking at the end.

Turnover Torres needs to go, NOW! His inability to do anything is terrible to watch & makes me lose my voice constantly.

Ramires tore up Arsenal's midfield today, especially Coquelin!

Good result even though it was a nerve racking second half...

Good result, but it still leaves me with many lingering tactical doubts about Benitez's management and technical doubts about Torres' skillset.

Both of Rafa's subs threw me for a loop too. Oscar was having a MoM type game until he was taken off, but then you bring on Bertrand? Seemed strange...

We need to bring back Jose Mourinho!

Bertrand was brought in to play a more defensive role. I don't know how much defense Oscar plays. I actually thought it was a good move considering how much Arsenal was pressing at the time.

I could see Bertrand, but I was more concerned with Rafa seeming content to let the team absorb pressure in the second half instead of apply it. The defensive midfield, Ramires and Lamps included, seemed to drop back and almost meld into the defense, making it a lot harder to force Arsenal into bad decisions and also to push the ball up the pitch. That's dangerous and the kind of crap that gets us burned against Man Utd. year in and year out.

Is Benitez hired on interim or "permanent" basis?

He was presented to the public as our interim manager until the end of the season

Damn what a frantic last 5 minutes...good W. The back line played great.

65% possession in the 1st half, seemed like 80%.

Maybe for RA we should rename the 2 categories; interim manager and permanent-interim manager.
Brick Tamland
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Haha hence the quotation marks. With Abramavich everyone is an interim manager.

Yeah, it's funny and sad at the same time.

Something tells me even if Mourinho came back to Chelsea RA would have him packing within 2 years.

Cole signs and Marin possibly to be loaned out.

HUGEEE game today men. Hopefully Rafa leaves turnover Torres on the bench and Ba gets the nod. All we gotta do is poke in one/two early goals and hold the back line. If we score three out of the gate then, well, it's pretty much checkmate.

We will face League 2 side Bradford City in the final on February 24th if we pull it off...fingers crossed!!!

KTBFFH!!!!

Here's to hoping you lose today, sorry.

Would be great for the cup competition to have Swansea in it along with Bradford.

Come on you Swans!

Looks like Ba gets the start according to the Guardian:

quote:
Teams:
Swansea: Tremmel; Rangel, Williams, Chico, Davies; Routledge, Britton, De Guzman, Ki, Hernandez; Michu

Chelsea: Cech; Azpilicueta, CAhill, Ivanovic, Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Ba

On the bench: Several players, plus a £50m snowman.
