The Skipper

The best you think? Wow that's a big statement. Dante's been a revelation this season but I wouldn't call him the best in Europe.

No I make this assessment based on the skill sets of both players. Dante has every chance to start ahead of Luiz but I think Brazil's best CB partnership is Luiz - Silva simply because they compliment eachother better than lets say a Dante - Silva partnership. Of course that is only my opinion.

So wait, you want to marginalise the talents of our best player this season just so that you can see Fernando Torres up front in a 2 man strike partnership? I have no words for that to be honest... You're living in a dream world. If we sign Cavani, there's no chance Lukaku will come back here. He'll go back out on loan. I don't understand why you want to change the whole mechanic of a team just so that you can get the best out of Torres. He's finished, accept it.

Luiz - Silva compliment each other better IMO. I think Luiz will start.

Can't believe Gustavo's in there ahead of Ramires.

Yeah let's do that so we can get the best out of Torres' talent (lol) and marginalise the likes of Mata and Oscar.

£42.5m is a nice price as well compared to the £55m that was quoted before... This would be a major statement. Not getting my hopes up yet though, need more concrete information.

Courtois won't be better than Cech for a few years simply because he doesn't have the same experience Cech does. When Courtois does something out of this world e.g. Cech's performance against Bayern in the CL final then we can talk. I'm not saying Courtois doesn't have the potential to be better than Cech (because if he does become better than Cech he'll probably be the best GK in the world) but to disregard Cech's ability like that is very disrespectful.

Come off it. I'm from Holland and I can tell you Kuyt, who I love to bits due to his work ethic, was never really a first rate player, simply because he was misused by Liverpool because Fernando was there - a guy that used to score for fun at Feyenoord was pretty much shunned out wide. He only regularly played because the team needed balance - however, our best performances recently (e.g. WC 2010) he wasn't a starting player. Who at Chelsea has the international pedigree of Kuyt? Is that a serious question? Hahahaha! I'm not sure if you've heard of the likes of Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Frank Lampard, and not to mention even our own Fernando Torres! Liverpool didn't do well in the CL when Torres was there, the reason Torres left Liverpool was because he never won any trophies! You must be getting confused.

Interesting to see Wayne Rooney up there.

Shame. City might actually be a threat now next season.

But I voted for you?

He hasn't been taking his chances for a while now, not just in this game. Completely off form at the moment. Needs to prove himself again next season in my opinion.

Feruz lost us the tie as far as I'm concerned. If he takes one of his many chances the game would've been so different. Baker, RLC and Boga are the only ones that actually did themselves justice in the game. Aina was decent as well. 2 finals we've lost in this season. Damn shame, beaten in both by 2 very beatable teams. Well done to Norwich however, even though we've obviously got the more talented side.

Two very soft goals conceded... Shame. We've been the architects of our own downfall so far.

Idiotic defending by Davey. FFS.

Well in Lewis Baker! Great clearance off the line! Wow!

The Baker - RLC is hands down the best youth CM partnership in England IMO.

We're playing well, should be 2-1 up.

Feruz needs to finish those. He misses those too often. Bloody hell. That really is bread and butter stuff for a supposed striker.

Baker's got an amazing long range shot on him.

Missing Ake's presence at the back IMO.

I don't want him playing unless he's 100%.

1-1. Own goal by Beeney? Poor defending from a corner.
