Lol at lampard. Has done fuck all since coming on. Oh wait! He almost gifted them a fourth! He doesn't deserve to e playing at all and yet has the audacity to sulk

I don't think it's drogbas fault. He has lost too much of pace and strength to do what he used to do so well. It doesn't help that the quality of the crosses and long balls are pathetic

EXACTLY. If the defense and Meireles were actually doing their job properly, we'd be dominating this.

Story of our season. Both Meireles and Ramires have been absolute shit. Worst game Ramires has had in a Chelsea shirt. Also that chance he had!!! He should know his finishing is shit and passed to a team mate. Argh. Meireles... No words.

possibly a reflection of what's going on behind the scenes with AVB and Frank? Frank unhappy -> Jamie venting Frank's frustration

Last post before I log out lol. I don't think Lamps' exclusion is that big a deal. He's been crap as of late and IF he does have a problem with the manager then he doesn't deserve to play anyway. I know Meireles is rubbish too but what I mean is I can't see Frank making much difference to that side. Come on Chels!

Disappointed with Essien's exclusion and Malouda's inclusion. The rest of the changes... meh. Turning the internet off now. This forum is trying to convince me that we've already lost 5-0!

So does that mean it's a 4-2-3-1 with Mata behind Drogba and Malouda & Sturridge out wide?

that midfield is utter shite

Keep getting server errors.. Don't even want to imagine what it's going to be like after the game

#Chelsea subs: Turnbull, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Kalou and Torres. #CFC

Something mustve happened behind the scenes with Lamps as it has been rumoured

#Chelsea team vs Napoli: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Bosingwa, Meireles, Ramires, Malouda, Mata, Sturridge and Drogba. #CFC

Glad we bought Cahill. The Cahill-Luiz partnership is promising.

Oh, thought there was. But thanks anyway!

That formation looks alright tbh (apart from Luiz's exclusion) We should give that a go in the Prem - when neither Drogba nor Torres will be likely to score. For this one however, Drogba is probably the safer option.

Any chance we could compare handwriting? I remember there was that leaked scouting report that was posted all over when AVB was appointed. Anyone have that saved?

He could be triple-bluffing - by guessing that Napoli will think it's a fake

yeah think so

No I meant that it's by AVB. He's supposedly left that scrap of paper in the hotel and didn't realize lol

Gazzetta is alleging that this: was left by AVB in the hotel and it's his team-sheet

Those managers haven't been sacked yet, I think. The team just continues playing with the same default teamsheet and tactics

Looking forward to the game! I'm curious to see how both teams will play. Come on you blues! Up the Chels!

^ I prefer the gold

^ Wow, those are amazing!
