How Chelsea starlet McEachran made history in Zilina 'And after a 20-minute gallop as substitute, McEachran is now standard-bearer for Chelsea's generation of Young Blues ripening on the vine in a vintage year. At 17, McEachran became the first player to appear in the Champions League having been born since the European Cup was repackaged in 1992, making an assured senior debut in the 4-1 win at MSK Zilina. Manager Carlo Ancelotti also introduced Gael Kakuta and Patrick van Aanholt, both 19, as late replacements while Daniel Sturridge, 21, was on target as Chelsea launched their annual crusade on the continent.'

Ok firstly me living in South Africa has absolutly nothing to do with you, im orginally from Surrey and was brought up in Cobham. And since when does someones oppinion that mine in this case have to be critised? Josh seems to have a good head on his shoulders and I very much doubt that the media would corrupt his mind. Iv always believed in playing your best 11 and Josh is possibly one of our top five naturally talented players. Anyway your probably just another negative pessamistic Chelsea supporter, I say chill out and come get a tan in Cape town lol.

Living Legend Drogba you will never be forgotten

I don't agree, yes maybe Wilshere has more experience but Josh has more composure on a soccer ball than I'v ever seen before. Yes he probably wont start but I really hope he gets at least 30 minutes, If Josh can come on against Man city (possibly the most physical side in the league) I think hes ready to show Arsenal what truly is the BEAUTIFULL game.

Would rather see Josh then the both of them. Arsenal arnt physical at all and wilshere will be playing so i see no reason why not to start Josh?

Skysports.com understands that Chelsea and Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of Las Palmas youngster Jonathan Viera. The 20-year-old winger is a star of the Segunda Division in Spain and is reported to be valued in the region of €7million (£6m). Scouts from several clubs across Europe are monitoring Viera, with Chelsea and Jose Mourinho's Real said to be taking an especially keen interest. But Las Palmas are not overly concerned as Viera is under contract until next summer and would not be able to leave below an asking price. However, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is beginning to look to a new generation in his ageing squad, could consider testing Las Palmas' resolve in the winter transfer window. Chelsea had scouts posted for Las Palmas' clash with Villarreal B on the weekend. Las Palmas' youth production line is famed throughout Spain and Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen had his talent spotters check on four of their youngsters. Jonathan Viera, Vitolo, David Gonzalez and Alvaro Cejudo are all said to be on Arnesen's notebook, according to local sources.

I think Josh should start in place of ramires and see how josh can handle a whole 90 minutes of PL action. I still would like to see Ramires come on.

Nathaniel Chalobah Hes defiantly one to watch UP blues

Carlo www.chelseafc.com 'For now we have to choose [who else to play] up front. Sure we will start [Florent] Malouda and Anelka but we will have to choose the right position up front. 'It could [Daniel] Sturridge or [Gael] Kakuta, I could put these two players in, they are ready. 'From the beginning, McEachran will go on the bench; he will be ready to go onto the pitch if it is necessary. John Terry will play.' We all must admit Sturridge has been givin a fair bit of game time recently and hasnt really preformed. I would love to see what Kakuta could do.....

Josh could well be the FUTURE of CHELSEA FC! It may sound a little soft but I get Goosebumps when this lad takes the Field. Him and Kakuta could be atleast one of the best three players in the world in the next 10 years. Well I hope so atleast...

TURNBULL was the weak link couldnt even get a body part on anything, he's useless wow he cant be our backup keeper imagine him starting for us in a CL game O shit lol.

When do you think Carlo will announce his team?

If we can score early Then we can really put them to the sword, that first goal makes everything

Yuri Zhirkov and Dan Sturridge O and also Bruma had very below par games, wont lie I think Carlo gets very fustrated with Dan. On the other hand Josh was 'Fantastic' and since Yossi is eout now I would like to see Josh on the bench more. I think He could handle the premier L hes absolutly CLASS.

Great News almost back to a full strength squad

Guys the more the press slates us the better because as soon as we prove them wrong once again they feel like right idiots. I would go a whole season loosing every game aslong as we beat United Home and away, as most of the press suck uniteds jellytot balls.

Does Anyone know when Carlo will be name-ing the side?

Lets not be so Negative dude, Bruma and Aanholt are better defenders than any of the Newcastles, theres no need to worry Carlo knows what he's doing.

I agree all our Young ones would start in most EPL sides . O and Esk not to be rude but i rekn u get a new Sig with our new and improved young ones? Maybe Aanholt,Kakuta,Bruma,Josh?

LOOL Benitez is a right idiot

Iv been very impressed by Obi this season and ill be the first to admit i doubted his ability for a long time. Was just thinking IF just IF he was willing wouldnt he make a good CB, he wouldnt be the fastest but i rekn he would suit the role. Yes/No?

BEST VID iv seen in a long time, Bosingwa and Ferreira are clowns haha especially Bosingwa haha:tophat:

Holloway "Some teams have taken us for granted but the champions didn't. Some of their movement was a bit different, I had not seen that before and it caused my players problems. "They have a fantastic team here. They are world class. Well done to Chelsea. "I've seen some football in my life but the way they played was a real credit to Mr Ancelotti and their players. Hairs that I thought I'd lost were standing up at some of their football. "We almost had a bit of stage fright in the first half. We could not get close to them. But in the second half we did. "To see their football at first-hand is brilliant. It was phenomenal." When Holloway compliments a team he really means it, and what he's said will be very flattering for the boys. All we need to do now is BEAT City and I rekn we'll be unbreakable. UP BLUES

Turnbull Ferreira Bruma Alex Aanholt Mikel Ramires Benayoun Anelka Sturridge Kakuta Josh on for mikel at 60 mins, Borini on for Anelka and sturridge move out to the wing
