Chelsea?

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/961705/frank-lampard-quits-chelsea-bench-after-snub?cc=5901 closest thing I found: Asked about Lampard's position, Villas-Boas attempted to play down suggestions that the England international's days are numbered. He said: "I don't know but this is nothing to speculate about. They are team players and the players want the team to perform, and Frank is like that. He is a fantastic player, a magnificent player and soon he will be back to the team, sooner than you expect.

How was Mata?

I downloaded sopcast but how do use it? I can't find the document.

yea I meant Bosingwa not Benayoun. the line up we play saturday might be impacted by the CL game on wednesday. This might signal short games for Torres and Mata if we're winning +2. Might also mean time for Josh. Wouldn't be surprised if Romeu starts on wednesday.

Chec Benayoun--Luiz--Terry---Cole Mikel Ramirez Mierales Anelka----Torres-----------Mata I think Mierales can play DM in games we should attack heavily on, and Mikel in balanced games. maybe Josh will play instead of Mikel. Does anyone think Drogba will start over Torres since he wasn't to play in CC?

442 might work better for us, with mata roaming next to the CF

Chelsea needs another creative player, or a winger. A. Johnson or a playmaker Chelsea.

we shouldn't play Torres Wednesday if we aren't gonna play with our best squad. only play him if Mata and Surridge/Anelka are playing.

hahaha. that made me laugh so much. Its like I've spent all this time trying to convince my self we can win, and this quote brought me all the way back to square 1.

what happened to the rumor of 35mil+Benayoun?

wasn't he supposed to be part of Modric deal?

I don't remember the last time I was disappointed with a supposed signing and this is no different. we need to give Ash a break more often, Malouda can't be Mata's only back up, depth is rarely a bad thing. hopefully he's not being brought in to play Lampard's position because I'm hopping for a real CM/CAM. But I really hope we didn't pay 30mil for him. Can't wait to see his role in a Chelsea shirt. this surely means rotation for Chelsea I hope

isn't he like 15mil? that's a risk worth going for. maybe not if we get another mid

what exactly did carlo do to Kakuta?

ok, stop playing. I'm gonna need that rep point back guys. Besides, Lampard had an assist and a goal. He also made a few smart runs but a mid of Mikel, Ramirez and Lamps seems confused. Ramirez and Lampard are players that seem to be interested in going forward or defending rather than controlling the middle. that's why I wanna see Josh a little more; or a new signing

I actually thought Lampard kept our middle together pretty good today

Drogba to be released from hospital http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2434371,00.html Thnak God

I think Sturridge-- Anelka-- Mata might be our best bet

Anelka infront occasionally might work also. I think in slower games Josh should player over Ramirez, as Ramirez is best in faster paced games.

there's other places in the middle though. I mean Iniesta and Xavi play together. not that our midfield is anything close

kinda disappointing we seem to be making our moves so late into the transfer window

booo red sox :eyebrows:

can we end up with city?

how about start cheering when guy next to you boos?

Bridge Soldier on cfcnet Fourth_Official Fourth Official Chelsea are not far from reaching an agreement with Porto for Alvaro Pereira #CFC apparently he was not in their line up for their next match either http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=283197
