What? why? Bosingwa is incredible this season. Ivan can be too slow to face Ashely Young.

Cech Bosingwa Luiz Ivanovic Cole Mikel Meireles Lampard Sturridge Torres Mata

He was great yesterday, but he needs to play in a more advanced role. I hope he played as a DM just because Mikel couldnt play(is he?). It's realy good to see he can play as a DM and can do it well, but we can use he's creativity and pace upfront.

link please!!! and not firstrowsports!

Almost perfect, just put Torres in instead of Anelka, and Luiz instead of Ivan if he's fit.

Im not in my house right now and it was pretty hard to find a pc to watch the game, so after i saw this line up i almost cried...

Why is that? he already dropped him against WBA. Im sure Mata, Daniel and Torres will all start tommorow.

Padro? as a CAM? he cant do it.

But what about Luiz? ^

I didnt understand, Bertrand is a "home grown player", right? If he is, he could be included as a "non home grown player " also?

When Essien isnt fit he's 45? Im such a moron...

I think our tempo will improve with Daniel, Luiz, Meireles and Mata in the same team, when you have Bosingwa who got into great form. Those are 5 new areas that we have good speed and energy. Lets see how we will play with our hofpefully, new starting 11.

never mind... thought its just Daily Star rubish, but its on SSN too: http://www.skysports..._7146993,0.html

If he would start against Valencia, so he's more important than Lukaku in the group stage... i thought thats obvious.

Alright, i can agree with that. But still, Lukaku would have played only against Genk, and they are realy weaker than almost any team in the PL. Its not a big deal...

Kalou can easily find himself playing agianst Valencia in spain. We have 4 strikers who are favored than Lukaku at the moment, and yeah Anelka is one of them.. On the other hand, you have only 3 players who can play on the right wing. 2 injuries and we have nobody to play there if Kalou isnt registered.

Are you kidding me? why do you think i wrote "easy" and not just easy? i know there is no such thing as easy games! And okay, thats your opinion, bottom line- Lukaku wouldnt play against Leverkusen and Valencia if he was registered. Against Genk i think he would have played, even start one of them, but its not crucial for us, and not for him, because its only Genk. And i saw Genk two weeks ago, in their qualfy games against Maccbi Haifa, they are just awful. I think all of the PL clubs are better than them.

I cant agree with that. Lukaku is going to play in our "easy" games, like WBA and Norich at home, you cant compare it to games against Leverkusen and Valencia. I realy think alot of us Chelsea fans are being a bit too enthusiastic about Lukaku. Yes, he's like Drogba, yes, he's a beast and he's only 18 years old, but i dont think he's ready to do the things your expecting him to do. He's a future signing, more than anything.

Maybe Boas wants Lukaku to start his Chelsea career only in England first, May be he dont think he's ready yet. He's only 18, remmember that. About Bertrand- shame... cant understand that.

Its just for the group stage right? there wiil be another selection i think.

Hilario Bosingwa Luiz Terry Cole Ramires/Mikel Lampard Meireles Sturridge Torres Mata

I barely believe Torres is our player... probably because he's a striker who doesnt score for us :mellow:

This. Especially the part of "After a good night sleep" lol. I think everyone was expecting Modric, so suddenly a 12M player? it was like... wtf Chels? Meireles is a quality midfielder, at the end of last season he was one of the best midfielders in the league if not the best. Great signing and i cant wait to see us play with him and Mata and Daniel... one more week.

I realy hope Sturridge will prove himself this season, because it was realy annoying trying to explain Liverpool fans that there is no way we will let Daniel go. One great performance by him would do the job...

So damn true!!! He was one of my fav players outside of Chelsea, the coolest footballer in the world i think... Suit us well.
