LDN Blue

I think he'll wait till the end of the season. Or do what Bayern did and announce he will be leaving at the end of the season.

Feel sorry for Ancelotti today. I think the change in tactics & formation was a good change, but he made a mistake in personnel. Thank you for everything Carlo Ancelotti, no-one will ever forget the success you brought us last season, best of luck in Roma!

A season we very much needed in my opinion..

We needed a season like this. We'd be lying if we said it wasn't coming. It's a chance to build a new team, a younger team, a long-term team.

Lampard & Terry will carry on next season. Maybe relegated to a sub role, but they'll carry on playing. Who knows about Drogba now..

Actually: It's not over till Drogba gets sent off :cfc:

It's not over, till the ref blows for full time.. :cfc:

Next year it is

Highly doubt the legitimacy of this, considering he's our BEST youth prospect right now..

I like the suspense of the shape, at least we know it's not an outright 4-3-3

if there is anyone stupid enough to pay £20million, hell yes!

What was that? :S

that makes a change from the norm! Any sneak on their winter ball?

I really think Carlo's made a mistake here & I hope I'm wrong in saying that. Fair enough going back to 4-3-3 but I don't agree with the selection. Drogba should be there for Torres because the fact is, Drogba, Nico & Malouda all have an understanding. They've been together longer than Torres and them and so they know instinctively each other's play. DroNicLouda would be better for team chemistry just like YossiNando would together. A second mistake is with 4-3-3 the anchor man is crucial! You can not have Essien there because Mikel owns him in that position all day, every day! Essien gives us the drive, yes, but 4-3-3 leaves a huge gap from defensive to offence and with Nani playing Mikel's inclusion is a must. Guys, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this team is good enough to beat United. I hope Carlo will make the right changes, at the right time!

If it's 4-3-3, Mikel should've played, not Essien.. Oh dear..

Can't say I'm surprised. Though personally, I would've started Drogba..

CAREFREE, WHEREVER WE MAY BE.. WE ARE THE FAMOUS CFC! :cfc:

A Drogba hattrick would send the media into a frenzy about 'don't Scorres

To be honest, every club is doing that now. Even I don't understand why, such a pointless use of resources. Our kit is fine right now to be honest (not that I'm not a fan of the new one)

LOOOOL!

They should've made them wear it tonight too

Good article! I think most forgot about the actual position of the foul when debating whether it was actually a foul or not! Great piece!

We're turning into Liverpool

Indeed
