Scored some goal tonight... typical Meireles: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/raul-meireles-super-strike-fenerbache-v-moenchengladbach/

1. Lineup vs. Arsenal 2. Premier League 3. Maybe get a new CDM in january, but im open to see more of Mikel when he's playing with Ramires, till now he's doing well so im not too sure about that. As on the strikers thing... depends on Torres and Sturridge production in the coming months. I think Sturridge could surprise us. 5. I think we can win the Premier League, and im optimistic- right now i think we'll win it. CL... hard to say, depends on the draw, but we can get as far as anyone imo. 6. Hope Sturridge will get chances as a striker, and for Marin- think he will be an important squad player, looking forword to see him.

First, i got to say that we're by far the best english club in Champions League games. Last year results for english clubs were not a surprise. And City are looking very poor, its not just that Mancini was outclassed by Klop - which was expected, until now their defense and especially their central midfield is just awful. Plus their players dont have enough urgency, looking very apathetic at times, and its not the first time. last season they almost lost the title with the same attitude. And the responsibility is mostly on Mancini. I dont think City will ever get very far in this competition with him.

Whats with Benzema? he's definitely not in the level of the other players you mentioned. For me he's like top 8-10 only in strikers.

Mata is in such a great form, and his numbers are just great. The Boss of this team.

No its not, its called tactics. You need that in big games (unless you want our games to look like the 2nd half of Man u - Spurs game, or our 5-3 from last season).

Best defender for us today imo. Realy good game from him, i just love his tackels in the middle of the pitch when there is a pass to an attcker. He's like storming at him and take the ball... off course somtimes he's fouling this way, but today he did it nicely like 3-4 attacks in a row. Arsenal got frustrated by it. Its annoys me that when he have quiet, good games like today the media doesnt mention it. He have alot of does, thats not fair to him.

What Dembele, Sandro, Vertonghen done so far in this game... its a rape! Bravo Spurs. perfect game so far from them.

I think so too... wish they'll all start the game. And i dont know why some have said that a midfield of Ramires and Mikel (and Oscar, even if he's playing in front of them he's tracking back and press well) wont be enough to deal with Arsenal's midfield of Arteta, Diabi and Cazorla? I think they'll have a hard time getting through us. Thing is i think Lampard will start..

Is Sturridge fit for this one?

lol did you knew he was supposed to get married today? because the game vs Vallecano got postponed he had to reschedule it. Wonder what the future wife thinks about that...

Rate him very highly, became a very solid CB last season, but i dont think we'll have a go at him as it seems the club consider Luiz as the future CB, as long with Cahill. And of course Terry is still here. BUT, if we are in for a central back, Ramos is the type of defenders i would like in Chelsea.

Play Sturridge, simple as that. But if we'll need a striker come january, as a realistic option i would go for Remy again. Proper striker imo. Dont think there's a point in discussing Falcao and Cavani, those players wont move in the middle of the season, even if we'll get crazy to splash this money again on a single striker. Which i cant belive will happen so fast after our fall with Torres.

In Israel Barcelona are like the international team, its like almost everyone is a Barcelona fan, its horrible, and from that you can imagine that Chelsea arent a very likable club here. But the main reason i think is the money spending, "no history" and all that... we Chelsea fans are very rare in Isreal, best example is that when im saying to someone im a Chelsea fan the common reaction is "Realy?!", and thats the positive one, i also gets "Why?" with a very disgust face lol. Also the media coverage for Chelsea is very annoying, and its pretty obvious that the main sport channel in Israel pretty much hate Chelsea (And btw thats a channel that just ADORES Barcelona, in the extremist way you can imagine). But dont get me wrong, for most of the time i realy like it that way, surely dont want it to change. It was so good when we eliminated Barcelona last season... sad faces everywhere ha ha.

I thought that defensevly our midfeild was very good, it was just the turnovers. Especially with Mikel (who was very good in defense) and his poor passing. I thougt that the domination in the first 60-70 mintues should have won us the game, but our big problem was is the central defense. Terry and Luiz were good separately, but something doesnt work right there. Our central defense gets broken SO easily and it will cost us. Juventus arent a very good attacking side but they had the players to get those through balls and they did it very well- like 3-4 times in the game. Disappointing result, but not the end of the world, we surly can get a win in Italy, and i think they will struggle more that us against Shakhtar.

Dont think they already know the line up, but it will definitely wont be a surprise. Asamoah is a big threat from the left wing, so its probably not the right game for RDM to change that style with Ramires on the right. Lets hope it will happen someday this season.

im so pissed at this coward... no excuses. We should have definitely win this game.

Those Italians!!!!!!!!!! i got enough of this shit. i got so mad yesterday when i saw Ancheloti acting like he's usual old self in PSG and playing with 3-4 CDM's, now this!

Sell him in january. What a cunt, just came to the club, didnt even played one freaking game. I mean who are we? spurs? players cant talk like that when they're playing for Chelsea, especially a 21 year old who just came from Wigan. Thats embarrassing for us.

I can understand your point about creating the formation so it will firstly suit our best players, but i think that you (and a lot others) put too much importance on the formation sytstem. 4-3-3 could mean a lot of different things, main thing is the Tactics. i remmember before the season started most of us wanted to see Hazard-Oscar-Mata behind Torres, when they are changing places beetwen them, if your not one of those so ok, but a 4-3-3 with Oscar, Remires and Mikel in midfield, doesnt have to be so different from a 4-2-3-1. in the defense you'll see Oscar in the central of the field most of the times, but on offense he can change places with Hazard and Mata. In that way we can enjoy the creativity of all three. Hazard and Mata is not quite enough all the time. Oscar could help us alot, and the third midfielder has to be Remires. Like that i mean: ------Mikel------ Ramires------ ----------Oscar

Chelsea foiled in last-ditch Remy bid http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2012/09/04/3352772/sweeper-special-chelsea-foiled-in-last-ditch-remy-bid I know its Goal.com but we heard those rumors in the deadline day. Also read what Porto did to spurs.. lol (and AVB kind a admitted something like that happend)

Why do we need Modric when we have Oscar?

Im absolutely sure that now when Meireles is gone, we need to play: -----------Mikel------------- Ramires------------------ ----------------Oscar------ This will get the best out of Ramires and Oscar and its probably the best midfield we could have. Now im just hoping RDM saw it too and thats the reason he allowed the departure of Meireles.

How do you know that actually? (feeling funny to ask about it but i just never fully understood this story..)

good stream for Wales-Belgium?
