Bit of an odd substitution imo.. I would like to see Torres featured by now.

Yeah, Drogba can terrorise them even more. They might become more confident if Torres comes on lol

Would it be too much to ask for a clean-sheet now?

Torres shouldn't come on at half-time. Give it till the 60th minute mark, at least.

Ahhhhhhhhh, that feels good. It's been a while since we've all been a happy bunch, at half time!

Incredible. Almost reached the target within a few days!

Check that female presenter.. Wowzers.

Last 2 of his games, he's looked sharp. Not old Drogba-form, but coming to it possibly. He deserves to play a bit.

Indeed. Drogba's looked sharper, imo.

Ivanovic for Bosingwa again At least the back-4 remains the same. Consistency.

This is a good game for Drogba though. It'll be good if bags some goals.

'nothing wrong with our squad' You're deluded. Even Mourinho himself would ask for this team to be shipped out. 12 players of our main squad, say out of 19, are 30+. Our youth are seldom, and not ready. How you can say a squad, where Malouda plays more games than he should, is perfect.. I'll never know.

Still think he's not over the hedge yet, as in, he's not finished. Like Henrique said, we've seen good glimpses of him this season already, got a few goals to add to his name. I don't really blame AVB for playing Drogba though, he looked good v. Liverpool so he did a warrant a place against Bayer. Would like Torres get another run of game though, now. Today would be nice and if he does fail to make an impression, I'd like Lukaku to come on. Just sayin'

Really like Holland's away kit!

Agreed. By the time he was low enough, the ball had past him. However on the whole, he's been very good in doing so over the last few years. Perhaps this back injury we heard about, from Courtois, has some truth to it..

And. Welbeck's the only from Manchester out of all those

José Bosingwa

A Liverpool supporter hey? Well credit to you even more for this insight. Well done lad. Excellent analysis of how a transition should take place, will take a closer look later on.

Apparently Cole's fit now http://www.chelseafc...2527836,00.html I'd still rather André play Bertrand! It's Wolves ffs.

I do, kind of, agree with what Henrique's saying. Sometimes football comes down to luck. But then we have situations like Barcelona, where it's so blatant the bad decisions have affected the game. For me, and for now, it should be down for goal-line decisions only. Not penalties, offsides, etc.

ESPN reported a 'meeting to stop cliques'. With Di Matteo, there's rumours he want a no.1 position at another club. I don't think he'll leave though, not yet anyway. I don't believe, for a second, Roman will suggest he is unhappy over the Torres situation. At best, I hope (if this is even true) this meeting will result in everyone agreeing José's team, must leave.

LMAO

Hmm, yeah disagree lol. I love Cech's ability to read when to stay big and then drop low to make such saves. He did it so well last season. Though one thing Cech's struggling now with, is distribution. I don't know if it's a tactical thing or not, but he's looking for the short ball now instead of the long ball, which I think he did well. Especially when Drogba's playing. Goal flashback of Drogba/Anelka vs. Blackburn last year, I think?

Same as Choulo! I'd ghosted for a while, observing if it was worth my time, joining a football forum. But the content was very good, so I thought it was worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed it since though, really felt respected with everyone's posts and what not. Hard to believe I've only been here 1.5years
