I dont know. If im right, according to Esk Kakuta slipped in form. And his last game was his first good game in a quite a while. So i dont think it would be smart to play him with him not being in form in the reserves. And isnt he more a player for the left wing ? I would love to see him getting like 20, 30 min of game time.

A must win game so no time for playing youngsters. He should have used them more earlier in the season. I seriously dont know why every manager is such a coward when it comes to playing them. We have some real rough diamonds at the club. I agree with Shane's line-up. Ancelotti needs to realise that Anelka sucks at right wing. I just wanna see J. Cole play like 4, 5 games in a row and see what he does. He hasnt been given the chance to do that and thats not fair. Anelka has played that position since Drogba's return and hasnt played well at all. It's Joey's turn now Oops double post..

I think it was (painfully) quite obvious to see that we lack creativity in the midfield and real pace up front. If we had Sneijder at our side, we would be the team to reach the quarter finals. Ooh well, lets hope that this is a lesson for Ancelotti and Abramovich. We do really need more youth and creativity in this team if we are ever going to win the CL and the PL for that matterHilario, Fereirra, Belleti, Deco really need to move on. I dont think i need to explain why as it is very obvious why. Defence Turnbull should be promoted to second goalkeeper. With that super talent Matej Delac joining us soon, i think we have three keepers that we can trust. I think that Delac could give Cech some competition. I mean a 17 year old that is the first keeper of his team, thats pretty impressive. I also think that selling Riccy would be a good move. He is not that world-class player he used to be. It's finally time to pass on the torch to Alex. So it would be best if Chelsea get a young defender. Simon Kjaer would be perfect but he is a starter at Palermo so it would be very hard to get him. Or maybe Tomkins from Westham would be an option. I haven't followed him lately but i do he is very mature for his age. Maybe you guys have some other suggestions ? And bring back Bertrand and promote him. Maybe Van Aanholt too ? So that would leave the following: RB: Bosingwa, Ivanovic, youth player<br>CB: Terry, Alex, Ivanovic (emergency), new player, Mancienne, Bruma, Hutch<br>LB: Ashley Cole, Zhirkov (emergency), Bertrand, Van Aanholt *Note I do feel that Mancienne is more a DM than a central defender, what do you think EskWeston ?. But Chelsea should keep him and give him the chance to prove himself. He would also be a good utility-man with him being able to play as a CB, RB or DM. Midfield We really need new players in midfield. Players with creativity and or speed. Hamsik or Rafael Van der Vaart would be a good buy. I would prefer Van der Vaart as he is experienced but not too old (27). Hamsik would be a good buy as well of course as he has youth on his side. He could become a true superstar. Ballack should sign for one more year but as a player for the bench. He would be good cover for Lamps.Matic should be promoted and be given more game time. Cork should be brought back and promoted. DM: Essien, Mikel, Matic, Mancienne (emergency) CM/AM: Lampard, Hamsik/Van der Vaart, Ballack, Matic, Cork Attack Aguero should be top priority. Fantastic player and very young. His pace, dribble and goal-scoring abilities are very needed. And i do feel that people underrate his strength. He is very strong for such a small guy, you will have to work hard to get him down. Pato in that matter is too light if you ask me. And he is injury prone so we dont need him. Bring back and promote Stoch, promote Kakuta and give him more game time. Sturridge also needs more game time. He is very promising and with right guiding he can turn into a great player. I would love to see Anelka stay but not as a right attacker. He sucks there. He should be Drogba's cover. If he decides not to sign a new contract then Chelsea should keep him untill his contract ends and get another if needed. It depends on Sturridge's and Borini's development. Sell Kalou. He just isnt Chelsea material. I like Salomon but selling him and getting some money would be best. Joey can leave too if he wants. He claims to love the club but if he leaves us for Man Utd, i would be very disappointed. Left Attacker: Malouda, Kakuta, Sturridge (emergency) CF: Drogba, Anelka, Sturridge, Borini Right Attacker: Aguero, Stoch, Anelka (emergency)

Link doesnt work mate..

:goodpost: I do agree with you on the Joe Cole thing. Playing him in midfield could be the solution to the lack of creativity in midfield. IMO we need to attack and not the '' score 1 goal and defend after that '' tactic that send us out of the competition last season. That tactic is also bad for the hearts of Chelsea supporters . And he also could switch to the right wing when Anelka is roaming around the field. But on the other hand, Ballack does help a lot at the back. Sometimes he helps too much if you ask me with those annoying fouls because of his short fuse. But if it was my choice I would also play Joey in midfield. It would surprise the heck out of Jose .

Mourinho: '' I keep winning important things, they keep winning.. something. '' That man still cracks me up. The only way to shut this man up is by winning a the PL and finish him off by winning the CL. I do feel quite confident about this game. The boys should go out there and play there football. We should have won in Milan but scoring that away goal was vital. With the fans supporting the team and our impressive home record we should be able to send them off. I just hope Ancelotti is man enough to bench Anelka as he is not performing well. We hardly produce somethin from the right and thats why we need Joey there. We do have a dilemma at the back. Alex has been performing very well these last two matches With Terry and Alex we will lack pace and mobility at the back. Milito has a lot of pace and is very agile and Eto'o has extreme pace and agility. With Sneijder behind them with his world-class passing ability, we could have problem if he is in top form. With Carvalho at the back we have a player with mobility and pace. Yes he has lost pace but he still is the fastest and don't forget that he has performed well in the big games this season. But if he asks Ivanovic to stay at the back more than he usually does, then it is possible to play Alex. I trust Ancelotti to make the right choice. But i doubt it when it comes to the issue of putting Nicolas on the bench. I hope he surprises me .

This is a hard one. I think it's down to Didier and Branislav. Ivanovic has been fantastic all season long and never seems to play a bad game. With his six assists so far he's been very helpfull from the right and i love his determination on the field. But then you look at Didier, who has been very important this season. I mean 27 goals and 14 assists, that's amazing ! And don't forget he has scored some very important goals that got us three points when it didn't seem we would. But for a striker it's extremely hard to be very consistent, so he has had his share of bad games. I think Drogba will be the POTY and Ivanovic the player's POTY.

Whats up fellas (and ladies of course). New member here and i go by the name of Blue_Soldier (soldier of the Blue Army for those who dont understand the choice of the name ) as you can see. Just wanted to say that i love the site and i appreciate the hard work by those who made the website. I'm confident that the men on the field will send WHU back home with 0 points. I just hope that Malouda keeps on playing in that midfield role on the left. I've always felt that one the key reasons of those defeats against Everton, Inter and Man City is because our midfield is just too slow with Mikel, Ballack and Lamps. With Malouda in midfield we have a player with speed and creativity who can take on a man but is also hard working. I just hope Ancelotti sees that too and will choose for the obvious back four Ivanovic, Alex, Terry and Zhirkov. In midfield Lampard, Mikel and Malouda. And the attacking three Anelka, Drogba and Joe Cole. IMO Joe Cole should be given the chance to start like 5 full games in a row just so he can get that rythem back in his game. It's very hard for a player, who was out for 10 months, to get back to his best without playing many matches in a row and never the full 90 minutes. Ancelotti keeps on saying that he is very important and that he is a genius but his game time doesnt really reflects his game time. I strongly feel that Joey is the guy we need when things arent going our way. He is the only one who can create something in that final third, something we have been really lacking this season (creativity in the final third). Chelsea should definitly buy at least one more player with that creativity, someone like Rafael Van der Vaart who is just rotting on the bench at Real. Thats all i have to say for now. I hope there are people out there who get what i mean .
