thanks truely respected man utd fanOriginally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:Nice goal from Drogba
and west ham shown high energy and some good passing
they keep shape and keep the winning mentality and they did it !
Most of the team do not keep their shape against united especially once they scored
example : sheff utd 1 - 2 Man utd
sheff utd score 1st and started pushing everyone behind the ball and sheff utd players were all on their own half and they completely have no shape @ all -
Lampard shot was so sudden and with great accuracy and technique and it swerve right way when it was reaching the goal that deceive Tim Howard Completely.Originally posted by weiqimun:everton's defenders went to sleep.....i can't believe their complacency...

Drogba Goal Was simply a Stunner ! Which show once again why he is the top striker of Europe As Well as EPL.I don't really think is the defenders fault as Drogba was 35m out and if the defender had choose to close him down then drogba might easily dribble past him and have a 1 on 1 opportunity against Tim Howard.Who would have expect him to shoot from there 35m i think
Anyway great win for chelsea ! shocking win for alan.C of west ham
Title Race 2 pts gap ! -
frankly out of all the millionaire players chelsea just need a stroke of brilliance from any one of the players to turn a match around.
and they did it 3 times yesterday. -
Mourinho fumes as Chelsea's Drogba wins it
tribalfooball.com - December 17, 2006
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho criticised Everton striker Andy Johnson after their dramatic 3-2 win.
Mourinho was so incensed when Johnson tumbled over Hilario during the opening stages of Chelsea's 3-2 win, a member of Merseyside Police entered the technical area to tell assistant Steve Clarke to calm his boss down.
Waving an imaginary yellow card in the air, Mourinho was adamant at the time Johnson had dived even though TV replays, which Everton counterpart David Moyes suggested he looked at, showed the Toffees front-man had been shoved by Khaled Boulahrouz and would have been felled by Hilario had he not taken evasive action.
However, Mourinho, without actually claiming Johnson had cheated, clearly inferred that was exactly what he felt the England international had done.
"In my country we would call him an 'intelligent' player. Here, you are more critical," said Mourinho.
"I have been in this country for three years now, I am influenced by your culture. It is a culture I admire. I am proud to be part of it.
"So, when a player chases a penalty, he is not the intelligent player I would have called him a few years ago. If I want to be polite, I would call him a dangerous kind of opponent. You cannot trust him and I was not happy.
"I think he felt a bit embarrassed because after that he behaved very well."
Mourinho dismissed questions from local Merseyside media about the incident, claiming "You are Johnson's friend, no?"
However, recalling the incident at Reading involving Stephen Hunt which left Petr Cech with a depressed fracture of the skull earlier this season, Moyes gave Mourinho's complaints short shrift, quickly turning the spotlight on matchwinner Didier Drogba.
"It wasn't a penalty but it certainly wasn't a dive either," countered the Everton boss.
"There was a big complaint earlier in the season because a player went into a goalkeeper, are we now saying they have to go into them? Make your mind up.
"By acting the way he did Jose probably did inflame the situation but then he has a 15-stone striker up there who is quite partial to doing it himself."
The row overshadowed a sensational game in which Chelsea seemed certain to drop more points in their quest for a title hat-trick until they were saved by Drogba's astonishing 40-yard matchwinner.
Six minutes after stand-in skipper Frank Lampard had pulled the Blues level with a superb 20-yard strike, to become the most prolific midfielder in Chelsea history, Drogba collected Andriy Shevchenko's knock-down, then turned towards goal before letting fly with an audacious volley that gave Tim Howard no chance.
The effort was tough luck on Everton, who led twice, initially through a Mikel Arteta penalty, then, after Michael Ballack's free-kick had bounced in off Howard's back, a Joseph Yobo header, but could ultimately not close out the game.
"It was a cruel way to lose," said Moyes.
"We have conceded three goals from about 30 yards and, while we could have done better with them all, we didn't deserve that."
For Mourinho, it was further confirmation of his side's potential to stay in the championship hunt despite not being at their best.
"If you can't play great music, at least play some," said the Chelsea boss, who refused to put a timescale on John Terry's absence after he sat out the game with a recurrence of his back problem.
"When other teams were having bad moments last season and things were perfect for us, they were 12-15 points behind us.
"This season, we are having a bad moment but are much closer -
I never doubted chelsea from the start till nowOriginally posted by dragg:frankly out of all the millionaire players chelsea just need a stroke of brilliance from any one of the players to turn a match around.

when chelsea go 1 - 0 down i was dissapointed @ the crappy defending of Cannibal as he just need to follow his man instead of putting his arms around to get the ball first as the position he was in was not a very good position to shoot so he just had to mark his man instead of giving away the penalty
ballack with a powerful strike hit against the post and hit the keeper back and score !!! Most keeper will surely dive there so it is not luck that ballack score
yobo scored somehow with 2 man marking him ballack and i forgot who - Great leap by yobo and delivery by Arteta
Lampard with a Stunner outside the box
then Drogba chest the ball and i knew he going to try a long distance shot just like matthew taylor and he really DID !!! and scored !!! OMG what a goal !!! -
chelsea spirit is really strong, something that was lacking during the rianeri era.
