Yeah, I was watching the Arsenal - Swansea. His competition Britton and Allen were great and were always on the same wavelength. It won't be easy for Josh, I doubt he'll get much starts if any, but 10-15 sub appearances are likely.

Def can't play Bos in this one. Norwich are really strong in the air. Ivan if he's available or Luiz at RB w/ Cahill getting his first start.

Luiz and Terry against top teams, cause Terry is a different beast when we choose to play deep. Luiz and Cahill against others when we choose to play a higher line. Ivan permanent RB Cole/Bertrand LB depending on opposition.

I am so confused. People are arguing all over these forums. I should watch the match again, cause I thought we were pretty good. Sunderland on current form was never going to be easy.

I really like Lalkovic. Bundles of pace, good on the ball and works very hard for the team. I still remember the goal he scored last youth cup against Arsenal when he ran down a back pass from the halfway line and scored.

Gotta perform at Swansea now and hopefully another full year next year at another prem team and then he should be ready for Chelsea.

Sturridge Ramires Mata Luiz Kalou

Stream is blocked at work Hopefully it's being repeated later tonight so I can catch it at home. Can someone confirm the lineup?

We need to raid Shakthar for some of their Brazilians.

Sweeeeet! Gonna watch all Swansea matches from now on. They are fun to watch anyways, but now with Mceachran, it'll be beautiful.

Arsenal have officially denied this story.

Hope its QPR! I want to RAPE THEM!

Torres and Ramires both played great. But I voted Ramires, don't want to jinx Torres.

Think there's a bit of overreaction here. Didn't really think we played that bad, Fulham just had everyone behind the ball and were good defensively and Stockdale played the match of his life. Very very unlucky not to get the 3 points.

Lampard's been horrible. Great from Torres so far, looking good. Just too bad that the game he decides to show up, no one else does lol.

Ramires has to improve his ball control and finishing. He can be a 20 goals a year midfielder easily.

We have to win this game!

Ramires and Mata for me. Danny has been class but other than City he has been disappointing against other big teams. Can't say the same for the other two. Especially Ramires.

Unless you were living under a rock, you should already have known that the price tag was all for potential. If an 18 y/o was good enough to be a starting striker for a team like Chelsea, he would have cost a lot more than 18M. It's always a risk paying that much for potential but hes so very young and the potential he has is scary. He seems to have a good attitude and work ethic so we really shouldn't worry. He will turn into a class player in time.

Don't mind the draw. Getting knocked out of the group stages is embarrassing, after that it's all the same. Don't mind facing hard opposition early because we would face some regardless and if we're not up to it, then why postpone it? Either get knocked out and focus on other silverware or win it all. That said, we have a good chance of beating them, they are a good team but not on our level as long as everyone shows up.

Kakuta might get some run with us now. I see him just like a Mata type player.

McEachran back from injury yet? Hopefully he makes the bench for this game. Cech Bos-Ivan-Luiz-Bertrand Mikel Lampard-Malouda Sturridge-Torres-Mata Sub off Mata and Sturridge for Kalou and McEachran late on. Ivan for Chalobah

I don't even look ahead in the CL now. Whatever happens, happens, just give it your best shot. If suspect referees or a bad draw hurts you, so be it, that's how the CL is now. You never know. I'm not getting my hopes up, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.

You guys dont understand. Sturridge is just playing with everyone. First he would never go to his right and go exclusively to the right. He was very stubborn too. But now when everyone is expecting him to go to left, he's going to his right every time. Now when everyone expects him to be greedy and take a shot going left or right, he'll start passing exclusively lol. Then defenders wouldn't know what the fuck to do. Anyways, in all seriousness, his growth has been staggering till date and with a bit more experience he'll have a complete game.

Tough match. Hopefully they'd have lost some confidence after missing out on CL. We should definitely play on the counter even though we're at home.
