Michael Essien is a Chelsea legend, just a shame about his injuries. When he comes back I hope he has the best years of his career, I know he will lift our spirits even more! Legend.
I would prefer him to be loaned for a season at somewhere like Bolton, would do him good for experience playing regular football in Premier League. I'm not all for loaning him though, I'm 50-50.
Meireles because he has great vision, judgement, accuracy and shot power. Mata because he always keeps his cool and can tuck them away into any corner with his accuracy.
So we have missed our last 2 pens whilst super Frank was not playing. Who do you think should take pens after him? It's easy for me. Meireles. If he's not on then Mata, fourth option would be Ramires.
All I am gonna say is Bertrand, Romeu, Josh, Sturridge and Kakuta are the ones that should get first team action. Yet it won't happen, that's understandable though if you reflect on how we are playing just now.
Tough call between Cole and Meireles. I opted for Cole. He has been our most consistent player and he's not even being rested. What a player, well deserved Ash.
This has been the best stream for me just now, quality is a bit poor but still, I can make it out fine. http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/89447/4/watch-genk-vs-chelsea.html
Can I request for people to stop labelling Torres a flop. When he scores you's love him, when he can't get involved you's hate him, it's beyond a joke!
This is a post out of frustration, but I really give up with some players. Two in particular. Malouda and Bosingwa. I like them but they have had so many chances to pull their fingers out, yet they fail and let the team down. Time for them to be sold and perhaps bring in a Right Winger and Playmaker? Not that the playmaker should rule out Meireles. I have been impressed with him and he should start more. McEachran should also be getting more time on the pitch.
