Kojo

What's wrong with him playing right wing?, his crossing has been very good in his last two games in my opinion and his pace is great, i think he would do really well on the right wing. I never said i am the coach this is what i think, it's a fucking forum you post debates and your opinion on what and what we should do, none of this is going to happen, so don't tell me to get real, you try and get real and understand this is my opinion and i think this would be a good formation against United looking over past performances. I'm not the manager, and i don't see these players in training, i don't talk to them idividualy i don't know who they are or what they are like, i can only judge from previous performances in matches, like we all can. I even said on my post AVB is the manager and he makes the decisions not me. And Bosingwa is more offence than defence, so why not try him upfront, yes it's a gamble, but a gamble is something we should take in my opinion.

A big gamble might be just what we need to take, i know if it's wrong it will hit us heavy, but against United i think big gambles are what you have to take, because out of player quality, i bet any money United will be playing much better than us.

The only way we can beat United is simply to be better than them, if we play better than them we can beat them, but if we are playing better than them, THEN WE ARE PLAYING REALLY FUCKING GOOD!. Cech Ivanovic-Luiz/Alex-Terry-Cole Ramires-Mikel-Meireles Bosingwa-Sturridge-Mata This is our best chance we have in my opinion, my opinion i don't think we stand a chance when it comes to beating them, we are simply not good enough, but i think we can get a draw if we play really well. Defence needs to be sorted out, and it wasn't sorted against Sunderland no matter what you think, the reason why we didn't get hit hard against Sunderland was simply because this time we had a lot of possesion in midfield, and Sunderland have a weak midfield in my opinion, besides Larsson. We will be hit heavily from Uniteds long balls, so we need to sort this defence out right now!, the team i've got is the only team i think that has the best chance of staying sharp, when you look back at our losses against United, especially the last three when Ryan Giggs ripped us apart with 4 assists in 3 matches, most of them were done by silly errors of stupid defending, by Kalou who wasn't even attempting to tackle Giggs, Bosingwa who let Giggs run straight on past him... and Anelka when he fell asleep and allowed Giggs to run in from from the side and square to Hernandez. Our Players need to be sharp!... Ivanovic i have always been impressed with so far against United, he usually kicks the shit out of Nani, but Nani he will be troubling Cole this time it seems. The play who i'm most impressed with against United is Ramires, in my opinion he had his best games against United, he was just unbelievable and United struggle against his pace, Meireles played a huge part against United for Liverpool when they won 3-1, fair enough that's Meireles at Liverpool, but after what i saw from last game it looks like he's carried his form, unlike Torres. I'm not going to explain for a 3rd time why Danny is a better choice than Torres to play, so yes i choose Danny. Bosingwa would struggle really hard against Young, he is effective offensively so put him on right wing. Mikel had a great game last time we played United, he calmed the midfield down, and against United midfield is the key, we can do this if we keep possession Mikel just needs to have a good game, Mata will be marked a lot and it's obvious why from what he's displayed in his past two games. So if we can pile the attention on Mata god knows what will happen, i think it's more likely to go our way, but we can't do any of this if we don't play well. Everyone has to play well, otherwise we will lose. It's gonna be tough against United but lets see what happens, it's AVB who makes the choices hopefully he gets them all right. My prediction, we lose 2-1, Hernandez and Rooney scoring both of the goals, Sturridge scores for us.

So nice to see him back at the bridge, i really hope he can play to be honest, it will make Laverkusen more effective yes but it will be much more worth it for Ballack to have a return at the Bridge.

Agreed much more pace, the counter attacking looked more interesting, but our counter attack kept getting broke up, just one of those days, but i'm still impressed with the effort. I just wish the likes of Malouda never came on and Mata gone off, i know it was for the best because of Mata's energy and his international matches, but i would of liked to said today was a different Chelsea, and a better Chelsea, however i can't say it because after sometime subs came on and it went back to the Chelsea we've been for most of last season and some of this season.

I'm being entirely honest here when i put this Mata-Sturridge-Bosingwa Mierles-Mikel-Ramires Cole-Terry-Luiz/Alex-Ivanovic Cech Mikel had a good game against United when we last played them, he cooled the midfield down and sorted it out, when he came on it went uphill for us, i think Lampard is a huge risk because how he does under perform a lot and can give the ball away, i think Meireles is spot on with passes forget about the longballs, at Liverpool every match i saw him play in he always finished that pass, i think it's very important. Ramires plays well against United and he has to play this one in my opinion, Sturridge is a risk but who else can we play?, Torres is out of form and would be stupid to put him up against United and Lukaku is far too young to start this game, it would be very harsh on him. I choose Bos at right wing because effectivly he has been superb, defending i absalutely agree, against the likes of young and Nani he wouldn ever be able to handle them, Ivanovic has had a great game against them last season in my opinion. Playing Anelka right wing would be a big risk if he switches off and to be fair he hasn't had the best of games against United recently despite his form atm, making him starter is a risk. The only person i can think of to put there is Bosingwa, where i think he would play well there to be honest. The only big risk is i hope Sturridge doesn't get cramped in the box. Of course Drogba if he is ready might be able to play, but making him starter cud be a bit.. uhm... not a good idea, returning from his injury in such. But i shouldn't forget the game against Laverkusen, if we have any outstanding perforamces or good ones of course then yes we should play them, If torres plays which he will do since he has enery left in him and has a very good game then i might change my mind about him in the game against United, but what i'm saying doesn't mean anything, because AVB is the manager round here and i only hope he makes the right choice, this is the only thing i would go with, but i'm going by chances and risks, i don't see how our players perform in training or talk to them individualy so yes i could be entirely wrong.

No, don't give me all that rubbish about Torres is good against United, because he's good against United when he's playing for Liverpool, not Chelsea, he had a good game when we beat them 2-1, but besides that he hasn't done anything. Sturridge is a risk yes, because Ferguson knows hes inexperienced and he will know what to do with him, but Sturridge has a lot more chance than Torres to score at Old Trafford, and i'd much rather go with Sturridge to be honest.

What we need to do against United is to not have this high defence line, Seriously United always long ball, and they will take a shit on us with this high defence line, We need to be better defensivly, and we cannot rely on Mata, i don't think any team can have a free role player against United unless they do really well, United mark the shit out of playmakers and the main man, David Silva always struggles against United. Midfield is the key, as it always has been against United, do not be so afraid of them were a different team compared to Bolton.

But not if he was in form, you must remember, this is incredibly hard for Torres in my opinion, it's took him really hard to settle in a total different style in what we play in, we are a team who can't give him no assistance, and when we do he's not ready for them, and that's because he's not expecting them, and i can't blame him, Torres has a lot on his mind, he's taking shit from the media, thinking about that price tag all the time and i don't think he's getting on well with some of the people at Chelsea, i wouldn't expect a man to keep 100 percent sharp and look out and be aware 24/7 on the pitch in that condition. Infact it's a damn shame he's given up, but to be honest, there's reasons why he has given up.

Sturridge was on the bench in his first match for Bolton, and his first match was against Wolves, and his goal was because Elokobi passed it back the keeper without knowing Sturridge was not far away and Sturridge intercepted then scored. Don't be to dissapointed about it.

LMAO!!!, you gotta laugh at some Liverpool supporters, they are blaming the grass as a reason for why they lost...

I'm not going to complain that much today, i saw improvement, it wasn't the most improvement but i saw it, we played really well when Mata was on, but i think we just wanted to give Mata a rest, Torres came on with no assistance, okay guys Torres hasn't been great, he's been very out of form and i didn't want him to play today, he shouldn't of. But tell me one game where he had great chances and never scored?, the only game i can think of is the Wigan match last season when we won 1-0, but besides that name me one?. Sturridge wasn't fantastic but i don't blame him at all, because he was just settling in and he did well, still has a lot to prove though, but good finish, just the thing he needs. I just want more improvement, but so unlucky to have to play United next, we desperately need more games like this so we can get into a good form, however this is fixtures for you and we have to get through this United game. Meireles was fuckin solid, i thought he was gonna a bad game with his shakey 5 minutes start but no he really did impress me, weird however... he was playing deeper this time, did well though. Okay so yes very shocking at the end, and i was typing something when they scored there goal and didn't see it, must of missed the replays too. Malouda is shocking, i hate him too, he offers nothing in this team same for Kalou, but i must say... Malouda offers more than Kalou.

This just goes to show, when we put our shit players on, we completely changed. But lets look at how we played before Malouda and Torres came on, we were great, such brilliant football, Meireles well done son!, Sturridge a bit poor at first, needed to sink in, well done on getting your goal though, cheeky finish but deserved the luck, if you get into situations like that you make your own luck. At least we saw some good side today, and pathetic to concede early like that, but that's what happens when you take off good players and replace them with Malouda and Torres.

LAMPARD YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!

No there not, they've actually been playing really well, there defence is pretty solid, Wes Brown is solid defender as usual and made some great tackles, i think our defence has done well and we've read there play a lot. And as i've posted this they've just scored.

Well done Romeu, broke up Richardsons play.

See when Malouda took a shot there... Mata would of looked for the pass, and made the attempt to pass.

Want to know something?, AVB IS FUCKING STUPID... TORRES FOR MATA!?. I give up.

Comon start playin better Chelsea!!!

WTF when did Malouda come on?, AVB are you trying to kill our result?

Anyone got a good stream?, Soccerlive.net keeps stopping like hell.

Good tackle by Cole to break up the play, otherwise we wouldn't of scored that.

GET IN THERE!!!!, DANIEL STURRIDGE!!!!! DANIEL STURRIDGE!!!!!!!

Wow really?, well every keeper makes a mistake, but i was very impressed with him against Sunderland and Man CIty, such a confident keeper who gets a lot of aggro.

Now looking at our goal, i must say that was very good by Sturridge, very clever by him to pick out the lone man.
