Sheva.

Close Ramires

Pretty happy with the line-up, Romeu gets his chance and Meireles finally starts in the PL again.

This.

Lmao

Totally agree with Tomo. Falcao would have been a great signing - before getting injured he had 9 goals in 14 games for Atletico. Sadly, now it will be almost impossible to get him.

Actually a lot of Liverpool fans complain about Kuyt.

Haha that's possible (Bosingwa) But i think Cole will start tomorrow, then Bertrand against Liverpool.

If Bertrand starts this, who's going to start on Tuesday vs Liverpool?

What Torres situation?

Did he say anything? missed the presser.

I'd like to see Lukaku play tomorrow. Not start, but give him a good 20-25 mins at the end of the game. Same applies to Josh.

Torres vs Stoke, vs Man utd, vs Leverkusen at home and vs Genk ?

Maybe because Drogba was not superb?

Bullshit, insider my arse.

Lol

Giles Smith on the official site: "One thing I'm really struggling to get to grips with, during the current overheated debates, is the casual monstering of David Luiz. Gary Neville is partly responsible, with his smart remark for Sky Sports about Luiz appearing to be a PlayStation player, under the control of a 10-year-old in the stands. Well, nice for a pundit to come out with something memorable for once, even if the price had to be paid in inaccuracy. That said, if Neville means that David Luiz comes steaming forward with the ball in a way that looks almost supernatural, and that he offers entertainment to millions for hours on end, then I might just about agree with him. But the current mantra that David Luiz 'can't defend' - a mantra that is already one of those nuggets of secondhand wisdom that people feel they have to impart - seems almost entirely baffling to me. On Sunday he was given the hardest defensive job on the pitch - marking Luis Suarez. And Suarez didn't get a shot. David Luiz was solid last night, too, despite getting kicked in the stomach. If that's not defending, then long may he fail to defend"

Exactly. If Sturridge moves to the middle now, then Mata will switch to the right, and AVB's best friend Malouda will start on the left

Good job

Drogba was alright. He lost the ball a lot, but he also had some good moments like the pass to Sturridge which led to the Mata chance. And the goal obviously. MOTM = Sturridge.

Don't want Ivanovic as CB.

Meireles is smarter than Mikel. Not only in his passing, but also off the ball movement and positioning. Can't understand why both Mikel and Ramires have been starting over him, i would pick him over them any day.

Kalouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Didn't see him rush into any tackle like he usually does. Good for him, hope he keeps it up.

I don't think we played badly in this game, we defended well and were solid for the most part. And Leverkusen only really threatened from corners. Also thought Meireles was good at DM, he made good passes, and broke up play very quickly. Sturridge was amazing, we want more of this please And Bosingwa wtf? i thought i was watching a different player. Anyway no doubt it was a very disappointing result, but we can build on this performance and get out of this dreadful run. Cmon Chelsea!
