Sheva.

Dunno if he'll be fit in time for this game.

Cech Ferreira-Ivan-JT-Ash Ramires-Romeu-Lamps Sturridge-Drogba-Mata

Henrique. Just because of his nickname for AVB

SMH Rooney has as many goals as both of them in the league alone. Oh and Rooney has not even scored in months

Then it will be just Malouda *sigh*

Nice.

Drogba was crap last season, reason Torres was bought in the first place.

So if it was someone else you would not believe it?

I was going to put average, but i decided to be nice lol. Still i find it very difficult to believe anything in this article, shit like this are posted to attract readers. Remember the article that was on the Daily Mail (i think) saying AVB bashed all the players (sounds familiar?) after our loss to Arsenal? Only for AVB to refute those claims, and say that was not his management style That's the way it should be done imo. A couple games on the bench and any player would naturally know he has to up his game.

AVB laid into first-teamers who didn't even play against Liverpool? and just won 3-0 against Wolves. Went to Drogba who had just put in 2 better than normal performances in a row and said "you're not a fraction of what you used to be" (way to make him feel better eh?) I'm actually surprised Torres was not mentioned, only thing that could have made this article funnier.

The story about them being "banished" came a couple days after they had both played in the league cup game against Liverpool. How is it possible for them to be training with the reserves and playing for the first team

That is after they had handed in a transfer request. Why should players who are definitely going to be leaving be training with the first team?

What steps? Anelka said it himself he's leaving because Chelsea have decided to go with the players of the future, and he has no problem with that - because he is a great professional Alex on the other hand wanted to leave in the summer, wasn't sold, and has had limited opportunities this season.... so his TR is also understandable.

Just think about it for one second, AVB will just walk up to Anelka and say "i never want to see you here again" or some shit like that... lmao. How can anyone even believe this?

Its the Sun ffs. Don't believe it one bit.

Best part, and the grin at the end - golden

Haha very well played.

He got beat a couple times - especially when Cole left him to defend alone, but for the most part he was solid. Kept his eye on runners (unlike Sturridge) and didn't make it easy for Barragan (sp) to get good crosses in.

He would score so many more goals if he could actually finish.

He's simply no longer consistent enough to play at a big club. He should go back to Liverpool

Voted for Mata. 2 assists, and he did very well defensively. *Someone had to not vote for Drogba

Cavani will cost too much. Sturridge, i prefer him on the wings. Lukaku, still has a lot to prove Torres, lol we can only hope.

Nice to see Lamps celebrating after Ramires scored

What a tackle by Romeu. Brilliant.

Genk almost score again.
