very scared ... i am unable to think positively about this clash ! but the only confidence I have is DD is there in the team !

didn't Hazard insist that he would rather go to Arsenal than to join us ? or was that just lame journalism that I didn't get Neymar like everyone stated won't come to CFC ... would either be a BIG shot at Santos or move to Barca/RMFC. Goetze --> unlikely we will land him at SB ! coming to the question at hand, I think we need Hazard + Goetze

is that news really true ? I would certainly give Kalou a chance besides looks like its his last season here ...

-------Turnbull/Hilario-------- --Iva-------Terry------Cahill---Bertrand--- ---------------Romeu------------------------- --Torres/Sturridge---Mereiles-Essien----Mata----- -----------------Luiz-------------------------- Subs: Terry->Lukaku, Torres<->Sturridge

it would certainly be good to have a separate post match thread ! probably one thread for pre-match + live chat. the one good thing about having seperate live match thread IMO is it can be deleted once the match gets over... personally don't see why "goal scored by sturridge" posted by 10 users would be important once the match gets over.

pls enlighten me on that secret plan ... the way we have been playing even a second division team would come and beat us ... and you are talking about European glory. Oddly enough this season has been a total contradiction to AVB's first interview with CFC TV.

Arsenal back to top 4 ... we are pushed to 5th ... new castle right behind our a%% ... not looking good 4-3-3 isn't working for us at all ...

that would be awe-wait for it -some awesome !

that is exactly what I said in one of the other Chelsea forums !

thankssssss alot steve

Utd fans feeling so damn happy about their comeback ... all over facebook its "Manure the comeback Kings"

yes 4th place is important for Roman to be patient in AVB ... or you know what will happen !

To be honest before the game I was content with a draw but the way Howard Webb bought united back in o the game is just amazing ...and that speaks alot about our luck this season. Can someone explain what Torres was doing in the right wing ??? has he lost his identity ??? I have never seen him in the position he is supposed to be .

Chelsea need a marquee signings in the form of a referee this summer !!! like i said some where in this thread before the start of the game , it was always going to be difficult for Chelsea to fight against a 12 man squad ... but we did great to score 3 goals ...

can't believe we couldn't preserve a 3 goal lead :*( :*(

simple ... 4-5-1 more defensive ... a 0-0 draw is the best result in my mind as of now ... the way we have played in recent matches doesn't instill a lot of enthusiasm into me... its not sufficient that Torres just thanks the fans on Friday Night Live ... he should show us that he is thankfully by scoring the winner for us tomorrow (**ok! I woke-up**) very simple ... just don't let them score a goal --- its not that much of an asking from CFC !

except Romeu no surprises there ... if you dont play a player when they are 20-26 ... you are not going to get their best out of them after that . besides they had to prove their worth ... if you give our younger players a chance they will prove their worth too...

thats the problem right ... not a single manager took that risk... and all we keep saying to ourselves if we were in a better position the "manager(whomsoever)" would have given the younger players a chance. *face palm* somethings from his first interview with CFC :"I want to bring the right empathy in the team "--- almost 7 months I haven't seen anything close to that "to get the players to play as a team" again no where to be seen ... Sturridge playing selfish at times when we would scored/been much better of if he had pased the ball to some one else.

trophyless drought is part of the transition, we have to embrace it ! but what I sometimes don't get is why is he not giving the younger players more oppurtunity, they are the future we speak about here. Lukaku was a much touted transfer among the CFC fans during the summer window, I haven't seen even half of what people kept posting in the form of you tube videos!

seriously !!! we got Lukaku and he has appeared for us like 5 times in total ... but I would give both these kids a 90 mins on pitch in a 4-4-2 ... --Cech--- -Iva-Cahill-Terry--Bertrand --Essien--Romeu--Mereiles-Mata--- ---------Lukaku--Bamford--------- :D

With Howard Webb playing the role of 12th man for Manchester United, Chelsea face a big challenge at SB to keep the hopes of a champion's league spot alive.

Hope mate !!! you should never let go of it !

Cahill and Piazon 2 players I am eager to watch out for during the match ... I just hope Piazon gets some game time. ----Cech----- -Iva--Luiz-Cahill-Cole-- ---------Romeu--------- -Sturridge---Piazon-----Essien----- ------------Mata-------------------- ----------Torres----------------------
