must win game i think Rami and Mikel will both play the double pivot again with Lamps coming in for the Norwich game, I think Moses or Marin could get a start and maybe Danny if he is fit and also Azpi could start this one.

Torres was class today SMH at anyone who thinks otherwise.

BRILLIANT!!! This win feels even better as the Arsenal fans were so confident they would win! looool! Everyone was quality, Rami is the man for the DP with Mikel outstanding as was Torres! quality display from him as well! Now everyone knows we are the real deal and genuine title contenders and the scary thing is as the season goes on our team will only get better! COME ON CHELSEA!!!

im not saying they haven't impressed me his performances are what i expect from him, i just dont think he has been as amazing as some people will have you believe, he has been good so far that's as far as i would go, good but not amazing.

What on earth are you talking about? pls explain to me who said Mata is a Ballon D'or contender and who said Cazorla is someone not worthy of being mentioned in the same vein as Mata???

So do you think Cazorla has looked 'special' since joining Arsenal? because he hasn't, he has been good nothing more than that. People act as if he is a Ballon D'or contender.

Big game for Hazard tomorrow i cant wait to see how he does, i think this game could be set up nicely for him to shine tomorrow.

I cant believe how overrated Cazorla is becoming! he has been good so far for Arsenal, but nothing special, Mata is younger and already better than Cazorla both are good players but Mata is better.

Mata is younger and better, no brainer really.

tbf this game Torres has more chance of a better performance as this time he wont be up against a solid parked bus or a solid deep lying back 3, if we can keep good possession and are able to feed Torres he will cause Arsenal problems.

Torres doesn't score goals people moan then when he does score the same people carry on moaning!

I would play Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole Mikel - Ramires Mata - Oscar - Hazard Torres Arsenal have a very good midfield but in attack they are nothing special Podolski and Gervinho are both useless but when playing with confidence like they have been they can be a threat. Cazorla, Diaby and Arteta is a very strong midfield with good passers that is why i want Ramires in there ahead of Lamps as Arsenal with have alot of movement in midfield and Ramires is far more mobile than Lamps. Then i would also play all three of Oscar, Mata and Hazard, with Oscar dropping deep at times to make sure Arteta doesn't get time on the ball. I think it will be a draw but as Atkinson is ref i have a feeling we could knick this with a Hazard Penalty. Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea

so.... ..........................?..................... ?.........Ivanovic.......?.........A.Cole ..............Romeu.........?............. .....Hazard...........Mata..........Bertrand.... ..........................Torres............... edit - Not sure if that is a number 2 of twenty something?

yes i agree Rami is not a great winger, i just hope he continues playing well in the DP with Mikel because he looked good their against Stoke.

Rami done a great job on the left against Barca at the Bridge, where he kept Alves quiet and set up Drogba's goal with a great run down the left.

Great decision JT! England doesn't deserve him!

does that surprise you?

Torres done pretty well today, playing against Stokes parked Double Decker bus is never easy, but he created some really good chances, some of his passing was superb today, everyone will say Strikers are supposed to score and not set up chances but at least he contributed today by creating some good openings for his team-mates, yes he should have scored but at least he doesn't go and try to hide when he misses a chance he still kept showing for the ball and linked up well with his team-mates in limited amount of space. Fair play to him.

I wouldn't go that far. He isn't getting a look in because he isnt as good as Mikel and RDM loves Lampard and will always pick him ahead of Romeu unfortunately.

False 9 that will give Huth and Shawcross something to think about, they wont have a clue who to mark. Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole Mikel - Romeu Oscar Moses - Hazard - Mata

This. Di Maria was amazing, as was Marcelo.

I agree! I hate the way people fear so many teams on here! We are good enough to give Juventus and any other team a beating, yes they are a quality team but so are Valencia, Napoli, Benfica, Man City and Barcelona and look what we done to them last season at the Bridge! We have more than enough quality to win the game and win the group. I think it will be 2-0 Chelsea, Torres and Mata getting the goals!

if you think Torres has never had a good game for us then you clearly have never seen him play very often!

he was just frustrated with the ref for not giving him any freekicks when he felt he had been fouled and the fact he knew he hadn't played well, it was just pure frustration nothing more.

Torres will start both. Sturridge will start against Wolves.
