Cripen

Cech - Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Cahill, Bertand - Romeu, Ramires, Lampard - Mata - Torres, Drogba 4-3-1-2? Mata just behind the two strikers??! Romeu??!

So far Chelsea played 50 games this season and Mata was involved in 45 games...

Roberto please rest Mata. He needs it like air. Cech Ferreira Cahill Luiz Cole* Mikel Ramires Sturridge Lampard* Kalou Torres * if fit

I know it is hard to play for us at that stadium, but Villa is in bad form and they have numerous of injures... please rest Mata

I think he should stay with us in next season and adapt to the Premier League at Cobham. We need new winger in the summer and probably striker or another winger (if Torres doesnt start to score) and it will be: Sturridge/New winger-Mata---Hazard--- -------------------Cavani/Sturridge---------- KDB (and Kakuta) could be a quality back up for these wingers. At least he can do better than Malouda or Kalou.

Why he take off Mata? It's our best player atm and we need him in the moments like that. Maybe he would do something at the end of the match... He can do that for sure. For me it could be Sturridge to take off for example. Is AVB afraid of the criticism like after United game when he take off Danny? But it was completely different situation. In United game Sturridge could be useful because at the end we play with counter attacks and he's a quick player and on the other hand Malouda was the man who should be taken off. Today from four offensive players (Mata, Malouda, Torres and Sturridge) Malouda few minutes later was IN on the pitch, Mata like I said is our best player so he shouldn't be substituted, and maybe AVB want to play with Torres and Lukaku both in the box so the last man is Sturridge and in this case from these four players he could be taken off

I agree, i was thinking about the same. Kalou when he is in form he's a decent player and he's got some skills. And he surely can offer more than Malouda at the moment.

I think that he just lost his confidence at all. He was too afraid to take that shot. He got great skills. His cross was amazing, his movement and control of the ball outside the box is very good but when it comes to take a shot he didn't cope with the pressure to take it.

For the record - at 2009 Wasilewski suffered an injury after tackle made by Axel Witsel - it was an open fracture and he was out of the game by almost one year.

Yeah, you are right - mainly because its United, but in the past while we are 3 up even againts Utd then people were quite confident about a victory.

And that's the actual Chelsea - even when we are 3-0 up at home most of us still wasn't sure that we will take all 3 points. We are very shaky at the moment and even when we have 3 goals up still we cant be sure that we win. I hope they will fix it. Even year ago we were more consistency and Chelsea could hold that advantage.

What a player he is!! Big name in the team. In last weeks he improved in defence a lot and his technical abilities is very very good. He has huge potential. But I'm not talking just about his skills. He is an amazing player because of his personality too. He always try to attack, he always fight for the win, he left heart on the pitch. He just love football and enjoy the game. Look at his Tweeter and what he's write there. He is 24 years old now and still must improve some part of his game, but he got anything to be world class defender soon.

And dont tell me that's too much liability for Bertrand to start. He had 22, a he played over 100 league games. The better half of it was Championship games but still he had some experience. We must trust in our youngsters and give they a chance they deserved. Look at United or Liverpool. Utd have Fabio and Rafael for example and SAF didnt afraid to play with they in even important games when first choice players were injured. Flanagan at Liverpool - he is natural right back and when Johnson and Kelly was unavailable he played in first team and did well against that teams like City or Arsenal (he was 18 then). So dont tell its to important game to play Ryan or that kind of things. For what the hell we should reserve and youth team?

Bertrand should be back-up for Cole and a first option when Ashley is unavailable... Its a joke... How Ryan should feel right now when he's 22 years old and he almost didnt get his chance... I agree - Its clear fuck off to our youth system

ManUtd look weak at the back. I hope that Mata and Sturridge will do their magic
