--------------Cech--------------- Iva------Luiz------Terry-----Cole --------------Mikel--------------- ---Ramires----------Lampard--- Sturridge---Torres---------Mata Reasons for Selection GK: Self-explanatory DEF: I had to pause at the CBs. Cahill-Luiz have developed an admirable partnership, but we really need Terry's leadership. I chose Luiz over Cahill because, while Cahill may be better defensively, Luiz could be utilized more when chasing a tie like this. Midfield: Against a quick team like Napoli, I prefer the use of a strong DM, like Mikel. Mikel's form has been top notch lately, so he gets the start. Ramires' speed will be extremely useful, as always. Lampard played his best game in a while vs. Stoke City. Fowards: Sturridge and Mata were rested for this game, so I think it's self-explanatory. I chose Torres over Drogba because I believe he can be the difference, exploiting Napoli's 3-man defense.

Are you suggesting Torres will start vs. Napoli? I'd be glad, I think he'd play well against the three man defense.

Man City away we'll lose, but I don't know if you've been keeping up but Tottenham's been SHIT. We can easily win against them at home. Arsenal and Liverpool will be difficult, but it's not like they're that good. We can win both of those games.

Nah, Mikel is underrated.

Bologna 2 - 0 Lazio at half. I'm a fan of Bologna, mostly because my long-time girlfriend's family is from there.

Yes we can. KTF

Cahill MOTM for me, with Mikel in 2nd.

I account for his age whenever I analyze him, but yes I agree, people do forget his age.

Soccernet: JT & Drogba back Mourinho return

I do like Gary a lot, I hope he keeps it up.

To be fair, he was thrown out there in less-than-normal circumstances. So while I prefer him as a CB, I'll wait to judge him.

Llorente or Soldado.

Of course there's no praise for Mikel, even though he's played very well in the last two games.

Too bad.

We played rather well.

Luiz wasn't impressive at RB.

You all are hard to please. Good performance, tons of chances, clean sheet. Most importantly, 3 points.

DROGBA!!

Luiz at RB.

Reminds me of Birmingham. Dominated the first half but no goals.

I agree, Mikel has been great.

Insulting to Meireles, he hasn't been bad.

SO CLOSE JT

Oh now I see it. Fuck off Fuller.
