Chelsea’s senior players rally round Kakuta

I totally agree with ya Ballack has always bein a waste in our team.im sure he wus mad @ da coach bcs he wasnt restd lyk the other senior players

Everybody can miss a penalty (except maybe Lamps). It's nothing, Baggio, Baresi, Anelka, C. Ronaldo and so on, have all missed penaltys. It happens. It's how you react to it, that means something.

Surprised to see ballack missed a penalty ....he's not useless , think from now he deserves to come in at 75mins. mark .....he can play perfect with a slow team so we still need him .......hamsik and dzeco would be perfect fit for chels .....as for Kakuta the kid is brilliant , carlo will make him world class ...he needs to grow stronger mentally and physically .....we all know carling cup is nothing , let the others left sweat out for it ....we'll be chilling saving up our energy for bigger games , thank u

Hello the Blues, a loss in a penalty shootout is a big step towards success. Kakuta should not worry, he has lot of chances to prove himself.Bip up Kakuta we are there for you chelsea fans.

does anyone really care abou tthe carling cup ? , i kind of did just because its the first tophy,, but on the other hand we wil have less games to play then aston , blackburn, utd, city . and i think carlo was very smart so to speak because he actually rested all the 1st team players unlike our opponets this weekened they used tevez bellamy alll ther 1st so when chelsea come like lamprd terry a.cole essien anelka all fresh compard to man city they have played like 2 days before the game :)

i dont understand how ancellotti thinks borini is one of the best young players hes ever seen and he doesnt play him in a match that, judging from the named squad, he thinks we should have won easily and making kakuta take that penalty wasnt the right thing to do he has enough pressure on him already but from what ive seen of him hes a great star for the future. P.S why take off joe cole we needed creativity. should have taken off mikel or ballack instead. joe cole was the only midfielder started that i think is good enough to start for chelsea

its not kakuta's fault or ancelloti its the likes of ballack, kalou(even thought he scored he missed loads of good chances) deco, belletti and zhirkov. I agree with some of you that kakuta should of started but if he had scored the pen none of you would say it was the wrong descision so unlucky kakuta you are and will be world class!!

P.S. he will be a world player of the year some day!

I've never seen Ballack miss a penalty before!

Stronger side? Ancelotti said he was going to use youth - I assumed that meant starting them. Instead, he used lethargic C team seniors and didn't even start any youngsters. He only subbed in Kakuta and one other youngster because he realised how crap we were playing. I bet you any money if he had started 3-4 youngsters like Sturridge, Kakuta and Matic and Bruma, we would have won that game comfortably. We had no spark on the pitch. We lacked creativity and it showed. There's no point in half-arsing the promise to use youth when you're going to play 10 28-29 years olds and one 18 year old. Like Kakuta wasn't already pissed off that he didn't start, Ancelotti gives him the duty to take the penalty. I mean, how dumb can you get? We deserved to lose. Ballack was useless as usual. He does nothing on the pitch and he can't even score a penalty. Stupid has-been. We should get Dzeko and Hamsik. Screw it, pay whatever's needed to get them.

i like wat u said...d important tin is d 3pt 4rm city...up chelsea
