out- anelka, alex, malouda, torres(only if we do find a striker in time) in- gary cahill and one more center back, cavani,

really???? the shot on the bar, the tickle to cole in the build up to the goal, and the thru ball to rambo. he is 33 and playing every third day and almost running into the ground unless some other ladyboy. plus i think most of the people here are tired of waiting for torres "to get back to form".

some people just have to talk shit and you are... well you know where i am going with it.

i really think u are missing the point. very few people actually would have expected torres to just come off the bench and score. it is his attitude that concerns most. not celebratin on the lampard penalty, when iva went out lampard and all the subs were concerned and were askin him the problem but i dont even see torres move and then he puts such an uninspiring performance on the ptch when he should have been playin his heart out for a place was just shows that his heart is not into it. mata was chasin balls after being 90 minutes on the pitch. after today's performance i would say that we definitely need a striker or a right winger in jan(considerin we can push sturridge in the center without much problem)

terry was amazing today. just magnificiently superb. cole, meireles were good too. bosingwa , ferreira were more than decent and showed that if u do put your foot down, its hard to concede a goal. i expected a lot more from sturridge, infact expected him to rip kettou into pieces but that certainly dint happen. but the biggest disaapiontment of the day was cech (despite the amazing save). he is supposed to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world but just cant feel it. even after conceding goals, he does not seem to be angry as is the case with most keepers but infact his body language says to get on with the game. anyways hope iva is fine, if not can we include alex for the next match?

tough one but i will vote for sturridge.

the match will mostly be decided on how much mata and danny can peg their wingers back. i dont think assou-ketto,walker,corluka is good enough for both of them in one on one so i can see a lot of play from sturridge. to stop that they might might ask lennon and bale to fall back which will suite us. so lets hope mata does what he does best and danny continues his awesome run. come on chelsea....

really poor performance, from the players and avb. i dont think bringing kalou on was a mistake or either bringin mikel on. he saw that romeu was not being needed as much and so removed him and put in a 4-2-3-1 which did make us a little more threating than the first half. then as far as mikel's sub is concerned, i think he got that right too, he reverted to 4-3-3 after being 1-0 up but removin sturridge was a mistake. anyways i dont think avb should be the only one to take blame. the players were absolutely pathetic. there was no passion, no tempo, no aggression. even in the lst 4 mins wigan were looking for the win not us. iva was uncharacteristically bad, cole(inspite of the assist),raul, cech and drogba were just pathetic. mata had on off day and that was what hurt us most. he is the heart and backbone of our attacks and if he has an off day this is what will happen. i just hope the players turn up for the tottenham match. come on chelsea...

fuck... the worst opponents... even milan would have been better. this is absolutely fuckin... no luck...

ramires is on 4 yellows. dont think he should play.

dint know lamps raul and rambo were all on 4 yellows. this blows. i definitely dont see rambo playin this match but maybe one of raul or lamps. probably lamps because its hard to see raul goin a game without gettin booked. so my team would be cech iva luiz jt cole oriol lamps josh/malouda sturridge torres mata. hope we get a 2 or 3 goal lead in the 1st half itself so that players can be rested.

one issue that this match raises is super frank or raul. i seriously think there is no perfect answer. lampard showed his class with the pass to sturridge which eventually led to a penalty. that pass was simply unbelievable and deserves all the accolades but raul's energy is something which works in his favour. so the best thing to do would be rotation which i think even avb intends to do. as far as "big" matches are concerned, i do think lampsy would be more effective as a sub.

can any1 post the pic where balotelli was shaking hands with sturridge. i dont think there is any greater sign of respect.

woooooooooohhhhhhhhooooooooo... fucking yes yes yes yes.... take that "unbeatables"... we are back and with a fucking bang... WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO ps- was reading some of the comments in the start of the match wen we were not playin well. its shameless that some "fans" cant stand behind their club when its down. to such "fans" just fuck off off this site forever. to others - trust avb...

"nervous wreck" thats what i am at the moment. plus i dont understand why we cant play alex? he has given his transfer request but it does mean that we cant play him and put paulo or bosi and lose one of the most important matches of the season. for me the team should be this cech iva alex jt cole romeu ramires raul daniel mata drogba

how did i miss it... drogba now has 149 chelsea goals... come on dd

"WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN JANUARY" the first thing should be to provide DD a new contract...

from the 3rd minute of the match i just cant stop singing "DIDIER DROGBA LA-LA-LA-LA-LA... DIDIER DROGBA LA-LA-LA-LA-LA"...

look whose back??? its DIDIER DROGBA... just fucking awesome from the legend... slapping the chelsea's and his own critics in the face. "he is not good enough", "he has mentally checked out" were some of the things bein said bout him and look at the man's reply. i know its not been his best season but the way people wanted him out was absolutely uncreditable. drogba is a legend and last night he proved why so. he can rally players around him, lift up the team and lead by example. this is why he is one of the best in the world and this is why no doubt what so ever that he should stay. come on chelsea...

not really. he was losing influence in the match. cabaye was marking him well when we were attacking and lampard was not able to completely reciprocate it while newcastle were attacking. so i feel meireles will start.

probably the most important match of the season. can turn the whole season around or finish whatever small hope we have to salvage something out of it. no doubt we will put our best team on the pitch which should likely be cech iva ALEX jt cole oriol rambo raul sturridge mata drogba pls no luiz because he is simply stupid.

fair enough but essien's last 3 seasons have not been consistent. josh needs to be shown some trust and lampard will be 34 next season... so selling mikel will prompt us to make a big buy next season if we do sell mikel. but the positive is we may have a good player of avb's choice rather than mikel.

iva - alex - terry - cole nothin absolutely except for these 4. and luiz bein suspended is nothin short of a boon. he would definitely have been red carded against city.

matador is awesome... fucking awesome turn. icing on the cake would have been if drogba had finished it which he should have done... but mata rocks..

that is a dodgy one. it is a given now that he wont make the first team in front of oriol or raul but in front of small teams he is more than useful and also in times of injuries. plus selling him would make us buy a cdm player and the big question would be who?
