People are really underestimating west brom here. They have been good at home. Specially against big teams. They just got a draw against pool a week ago. Dont see why we need to "rotate". Rotation is for cup games. Plus we are at the top and need to consolidate. With arsenal playing united, we CAN go 3 or maybe 4 points ahead of them if we win (remember arsenal are shit in "big" matches and also have a block against united). Can't see city dropping points so would be foolish for us to take this game lightly. Also cech out for schwarzer in. LOLOLOLOL. What are we punishing cech for??? Too many clean sheets?? Cech Iva Gc Jt azpi Rambo matic Willian oscar hazard Etoo.

Why? How?Teams sell their players for these reasons 1. Raising of funds. 2. Player is not good enough 3. Player does not fit the system. Now with us the first point goes directly out of the window. U can argue that with FFP we have to do it, but if we are so adamant in gettinf funds, we have a string of fringe players like torres, ba, marin, moses, kakuta, bertrand, pva, plus we will be selling one of cech/courtois plus the money we would be saving by letting go off cole and lamps. We have more than enough funds with these players, none of whom have a future than sell a 20 year old striker who is tipped to be the next best thing As for good enough and does not fit the system argument goes, I would just like to say that jose deemed Lukaku good enough to lead us against bayern and more over he deemed him worthy enough to take the Ultimate penalty in the same match. LUkaku is 20, some say he is still "raw" but inspite of that he is a better goalscorer than any of the 3 we have right now. I simply can't see us selling off lukaku. Nope. Not happenibg

Schadenfreude

He definitely deserves better. United were abysmal last night. Young and evra were irritating to say the least. I don't think mata was average for them. Infact everythinf good that happened for united had mata all over it. He made the right runs and the coreect decisions but if your team is simply lookinf to put the ball into the box and hoping foe the best, what can mata alone do. 81 crosses from united and onlt 15 were touched by a united player. Feel real sorry for hin

Please remove his ban. This forun was a lot funnier with him here

Torres for one season costs us close to 19mil in FFP. Even if we keep him, he will be used as a 3rd atriker and we already know about sulking and causing problems in the dressing room. On the other hand etoo seems to be a nice guy who can actually help young players like lukaku, simply can't see torres doing that.Lamps and cole are gone. No doubt about that. But I can't see Jt leave. No way. He is one solid half of our center back pairing. Even today in any big match, people might differ about GC/DL but JT is still a spot on starter. Simply can't see how we would cope with him. Cole and lamps have been phased out but Jt is a major part of our season. Like u said, shaw plus cavani would be perfect.

2007-08. That team was just PERFECT. How that team could not win a trophy that seasom would always continue to baffle me. It actuqlly felt like that team could have done a treble/quadruple.

The striker situation is getting clearer. Give etoo an extension. Sell ba a d torres. And have mr. X, lukaku and etoo as our 3 options.

He is startimg to peeform real good. If he continues on the same vein then I won't be one bit surprised that he would get an extension. Starting to deserve the 1st striker role for now.

Tough game. Never easy against this lot that too in an away game. Cech Iva GC JT CA MATIC RAMBO willian oscar hazard Etoo We are winnin and playng well. The players seem to have hit a note. No need to change our first team. We will have to grind this one out.

Its good to have opinions and all but how can one not think that hazard deserved the MOTM today. I mean how????

76 votes but 100% motm votes... only EH17 could have pulled that off

5 minutea to go... norwich holding on

EH17... TAKE A BOW!!!!

Hazard vs mbwwia.... FAP FAP FAP

now? Monday night to saturday evebin is rest enough... anyways I heard somehwere that he got a knock!!!! Any truth to it?

What happened to JT???

Hahahahahaga.... and we were supposed to be scared of these characterless witless shits... they are arsenal. Spineless as ever...

pellegrini is STUPID. end of it. he was being baited and he has taken the bait. i have no doubt that jose already has his answers prepared to the journalists questions of "what do you think of pellegrini saying......."??? and so start the verbal war and mind games!!! and i have no doubt about who is going to come ahead on that!!!! JOSE is the boss!!!!

ya i am pretty sure you were not. anyways enjoy your stay here, my prediciton is you would be supporting barca by the end of the summer.

so u r telling me that this was not a pot shot at GC and to tell how awesome and innovative and brilliant DL's technical prowess is? God forbid if they leave their predetermined positiona dn try to do something different. To have the meanest defensive record u need to play well as a team. yes, 11 players are defending but that still does not change the fact that GC has been a standout performer in the last 2 months. he had 16 clearances against city. beat that!!! he was phenomenol on that day like many others. Yes, he does not leave his position and try something cos he does not have to. he is not mindless child with a ball who loses his focus every 10 minutes and wants to do something different which ends up biting us in the ass more often than not. he is a professional defender, whose primary objective is to defncd for the team and he does that brilliantly.

at least i am not the one cribbing about our defnders keeping clean sheets. seriously sick of all the luiz love around here. you would think he single handedly won us a CL or something. as for indentity, we sold our POTY of 2 years in a row. we are playing to a tyoe of play that our manager is emploiying. things our changing. look at it without the luiz tinited glasses. and support the club for once.

we are chelsea. if u want your defnders to play out of defence and try funny stuff with the ball then go and support carca or bayern, cos here at chelsea, our defenders have been told to do "no nonsense defending". we dont want to be bayern, we dont want to be barca, we are building are own indentity. got a problem with that???? got a problem with defenders doing what they are supposed to do then go and support some other team. for the last 2 months, GC has been our best defender. DL cant even get into our defnce and thats a fact too. DEAL WITH IT!!!

DAMN!!!!
