Meh. It just showed once again that Bendtner (disinterested), Ryo (be better!) and especially Jenkinson (dat school boy) will never be 1st XI material. Jenkinson's mistake was beyond noobish, and effectively cost us the game - it was downhill all the way when we went 0-1 down. The second goal was a good strike, though: not much we could do about that. It just goes to show how far Chel$ki's infinite wealth goes: their 2nd string would make most EPL sides' starting line-up any day. I reckon we missed Flamini more than anyone tbh. His stats are immense: only 2 games lost out of the last 52 that he's played for us. I think Lego Hair would've made a difference, too. Ozil is great, but we need to reinforce in January. They don't need to be of the same level as his, but just a lot better than the three I already mentioned.
Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise to be knocked out: we can't afford anymore injuries, and this just means a lot less games for our already incredibly thin squad to try and get through. As far as people saying we can't get past the "big" sides? The team Chel$ki put out played against our make-shift side - it was hardly a "test" or a "big" game. We'll beat the crap out of their 1st XI with ours any day.
