Kieran.

Stick Malouda up front.

Lmfao Ramires...

Also guys, rotation. Marin and Moses will get their chances. We have a ton of games coming up.

Same problem as Sturridge at the moment, they lack match fitness. When you don't get a chance for months, obviously you're gonna struggle when shoved back out there. Romeu will get back to the level he was last year with continuous starts. And obviously he can get better.

Hope he takes his chance, we have a real player on our hands here...

Azpi-Ivan-Luiz-Cole was excellent, no need to change it around. I'm interested in the Ramires-Romeu pivot and Bertrand on the wing is okay I guess. After all, Rafa wants a more defensive shape. Think it'll be more of a 4-3-2-1 with Bertrand hanging back by the pivot more than as a winger.

You don't get it, do you... It isn't about winning.

Could have gone on to do what Robbie did (actually, I'm certain he would have) if it wasn't for Tom Cunting Ovrebo! Good luck Guus!

I'd be down for a Walcott-Sturridge trade. I rate Sturridge but if we're going to lose him, replacing him for another young English talent is a good idea imo.

Don't think this guy is that good, bring in Lewandowski and Huntelaar.

It's much worse considering that Kompany was playing with a hurt hamstring too!

-------------Cech-------------- ------Cahill-Luiz-Ivan-------- Azpi-------Mikel--------Ramires ----Mata----------Oscar------- ------------Hazard-------------- ------------Torres-------------

The Chelsea official twitter confirmed it was his.

Word. Though I guess we just have to be patient.

157 goals in 351 is still very good...

I know. We will see the 4-2-3-1 til the end of the season.

I'm a fan of the 3-5-1-1. -------------Cech-------------- ------Cahill-Luiz-Terry-------- Azpi-------Mikel--------Ramires ----Mata----------Oscar------- ------------Hazard-------------- -----------Sturridge------------- Actually think this could work out nicely, but good thing I'm not a manager.

Found an Independent article from 1996, talking about Chelsea 1 - 0 Middlesbrough. Di Matteo scored the winner in his debut. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/di-matteo-breaks-chelsea-deadlock-1310957.html

It was nice, but I thought it was funny that it was really done in the 17th minute.

What was said about his injury problems?

I don't give a fuck, if you help us win the European Cup, you should stay on for at least a year. And not be replaced by RAFA BENITEZ. Fucking infuriating.

Moses and Marin to start please.

At what cost? CFC is a soulless club now.

I despise Rafa, but those who are slagging him off at SB are putting their hatred of Rafa before the good of the club. It can never be a good thing for the team or the morale when boos are ringing around the stadium before the game even kicked off...

Supporting is the fun - winning is just a bonus. Hurts me more and more to think of how we treated a legend as if he was just rubbish to be collected the next day. Our club has no soul. Not anymore, anyway. European Champions? Not enough.
