FFS

Starts in about 1h 26mins. http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/117457/1/watch-chelsea-fc-vs-wigan-athletic.html

Terry and Cole out. Lampard doubtful.

Rose is a LB.

Not underestimating them, but a couple changes have to be made for this game, like Essien instead of Mikel, Drogba instead of Torres, and anyone instead of Mata.

No people are not suggesting resting some players because it's Wigan, it is because we have another game at Fulham 2 days later.

He's out for the season.

He suffered the injury in the 1st leg at Benfica, and he said yesterday after the game that he can still get through games.

He clearly said not as good, so what's the problem?

Worse than Benzema's miss last week.

Bullshit. It would have been given as a freekick if it was not in the box, and it was surely a penalty. Funny thing is he didn't even have to make that challenge, there was another player right there to cover for him.

This. I honestly can't believe anyone can complain about the penalty and red card. Red card first, he picked up his first yellow for arguing with the ref, and then a second for a really dangerous tackle that could have easily been given as a straight red. What's the problem here? Penalty, lol Javi Garcia barged into Cole inside the box, there's no way that will not be given. Now granted Benfica could have had a pen at home, but different refs have different views on the ball to hand, handball situation. Plus it's a lot easier to give those when the players hands are nowhere close to his sides - like Essien against Man city, or Dossena when we played Napoli.. Apart from that they only have themselves to blame for not taking the chances they created.

Welcome to the site mate

Meireles gets so much hate, he's just another one of our midfielders that can't pass for shit but at least he can hit them from long range! Seriously we fucking need midfielders that don't give the ball away every second!

Yep, it was and still is.

Don't compare Mata and Kalou, ever! And Mata being offside when Kalou passed him the ball, you do know it's not always the runners fault right? he can only hold his run for so long, the pass has to be released earlier.

He had a lot of space, but at the end of the day he didn't do enough with it. He should have scored 2 at least, and had 1 assist - this one is Rambo's fault.
