Make it left and right winger

Could of been worse temperature wise. I'm from Estonia which is north-eastern Europe and not that far away from Denmark, we've had -20 during the day and -30 in the nights, +the winds which add additional minuses

Don't underestimate us. United will need to win, so they'll attack. As long as we keep it calm and TAKE our chances we should be able to win it. They've got two matches before our game, while we rest. They've got Marseilles tonight (away) and Wigan on Saturday (away)

Serves them right after those two lucky games they've had where they scored very very late into the game

Our next game is against Manchester United at home, we need to save energy and avoid injuries, There's no point working our arses off if we've sealed a good first leg result on away ground. Pointless to press and try for all 90 mins just because 'we can'. 2-0 a good result to take to the Bridge and I'm happy with it, you should be too. Not sure if this was posted on here but here's the post match interview with Ancelotti: http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,16430_6773098,00.html

The second goal was amazing. No watch pass from Lampard, just perfect

Next league game against Manchester United at home. If we win we'd be fourth with one point behind ManC. Suddenly it doesn't seem so desperate IF we take this chance, we've had dozen this season..come on chels

2-0 good result, perhaps could have been more clinical and finish them off with 3-0 but let's have respect for them, they were good. Our game was enjoyble and let's hope we can keep improving and keep dictating the game. Only bad word I've got to say about this game is wasteful, we should of finished one goal more. Malouda's card was just pure stupid, totally avoidable. Either way, blue night today, ktbffh

Blackpool scalping... 3-0

SICKKKKKKKKK LAMPARD->ANELKA

I do believe we played nicely but we can not waste chances like that. Sometimes I feel we opt for a more difficult solution, as if we are over-playing a situation. Keep it simple and finish every attack with a shot, you never know when it might take a freak deflection or just go in by itself. Their number 30, I believe it was, is quite sharp. That blonde striker of theirs Satin i think, seems dirty.. don't know why he hasn't been shown a yellow card yet. Well let's hope for the best, great finish by Anelka. KTBFFH

Ashley cole and Bosingwa can bomb up, missed that

Come on Chelsea! Make us proud, blues cruise the s*it out of them, One life one love one Chelsea, forever

Mind games. But I'd welcome him if we do find ourselves in a situation where we need a new manager. But at the moment King Carlo is my man, KTBFFH

In Carlo we trust, the squad we've had this season has been rubbish selection-wise. Can't ask for people to play 50+ games at the highest level, that plus some below par performance is all you need.. keep the faith

At the moment I'm fully behind Ancelotti, if we drop out against Copenhagen I'd let him go though, there's a line for everyone BUT let's not get carried away and keep the faith and the flag high

Wilson, well put and I agree with you one hundred percent There have been reports today of Ancelotti ''on the verge of being sacked''. That gives me mixed feelings. On one hand I really do want him to stay, turn it around and shut the critics but on the other hand I want to see dramatic change in the table, form, attitude of Chelsea. Ancelotti seems like a good guy, perhaps too good for a manager. Might be the language barrier, would explain why Wilkins' departure had such an effect on our game. He doesn't seem that agressive minded, dominative figure as people might expect a manager to be. That might be his down-fall. Some people claim that 'he can't motivate the players enough', well fucking hell, if you're a professional footballer playing for Chelsea and earning more in a week then most earn in a year and can't be bothered without being kicked in the arse by the manager, you should really reevaluate. One solution in my eyes is squad re-vamp. We need to stick to a manager and let him build a squad. Having said that, the manager has to earn the trust of Abramovic, the fans, players before he should get a chance to build his own squad. I do believe Ancelotti has prooven himself to us and deserves this chance. Two-three players out, which might be hard mentally for the fans to see their heroes go but it's the best for the club. Getting 2-3 young players in aswell would sort us out nicely. Been playing some speculative Football Manager in my mind and I'd love if we'd bring in Agüero and Sanchez. The formation could be 4-2-2-1-1 (seems really similar to Real Madrid's formation if you look at it), give Sturridge, McEachran and Van Aanholt chances and see how they use them. Coach: Carlo Ancelotti -------------Cech--------------- Ivanovic-Terry-Luiz-A.Cole ----Essien---Ramires----- Sanchez------------Zhirkov -----------Agüero------------ --------------Torres---------- RB - Ivan, Bosingwa, Luiz, Ferreira CB - Alex, Luiz, Terry, Ivan LB - A.Cole, Zhirkov, Van Aanholt CMF - Ramires, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, McEachran Wingers/SS - Zhirkov, Benayoun, Sturridge, Sanchez, Agüero, Kalou, Malouda CF - Torres, Drogba, Sturridge, Anelka Notice I've not 'sold' anyone though obviously we'd have to let some of the players go to make room, cut wagebill and perhaps even recoup some money. And clearly some kind of a rotation has to be worked out. Loan out some of the youngsters again, keep 2-3, because it's unreasnoble for a club like Chelsea to give all of the new guys a fair chance, loan option would be best for both the player and the club. Buying Agüero and Sanchez will cost money, sure, but they're young and got a great future ahead of them. Their physique is perfect for EPL, and technique gives us the edge and flair we have been lacking. Agüero also has a good shot in him, can take free kicks like he showed us when we played Atletico last year in the Champs League. In other words a Dream Team. The latter part was just my own mind games. I do support Carlo Ancelotti and I'm behind the team whatever happens. Keep the faith, KTBFFH Some reading: http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2011/02/20/2360898/chelseas-didier-Drogba-and-florent-malouda-set-for-summer http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2011/02/20/2360800/carlo-ancelottis-chelsea-future-in-doubt-after-fa-cup-exit (similar stories up on other sites aswell)

Cech - 6 Ferreira - 6 Ivanovic - 6 Terry - 7 Cole - 6 Ramires - 7 - MOTM from Chelsea Mikel - 5 Lampard - 6 Malouda - 4 Drogba - 5 Kalou - 5 Essien - 6 Anelka - 5 Zhirkov - N/A

I doubt we'd get humiliated. I'm more afraid of us trying our guts out and still conceding a stupid goal like vs Liverpool. If we are outplayed, I can accept it but if we allow goals like that go in, its just cheap isnt it? Expect a draw or narrow win myself

Wow I do like the first line-up. Can't wait to see Zhirkov back in action, even Yossi.. beacuse both of them are quality players

Just realised we'll play ManU at home next in the league..from bad to worse if we don't improve dramatically. I believe we could sit out a draw but we need a win, not even because we want to close gaps or something, we want to go fourth.

Comfortable 2-0 win, Torres and one of the centre-backs to score.

Redknapp has lots of options in the midfield. We've got only one reliable player for a position where as Redknapp can rotate and juggle with players who could make up 2 competetive teams.

That needs to change though, doesn't it? Hiring new manager would send out signal exactly like you described and frankly that's why we need to stick with Ancelotti. SAF was about to be sacked early in his career - yet he is still there. Wenger hasn't won anything for 6-7 years - still there. We as fans are spoilt, let us, too, get used to having bad moments.
