Squad of 22 is perfect. Although I think the central midfield looks weak. But that may be because of the 4-2-3-1 formation that we will play or the 4-4-2 formation with wingers or the occasional 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree with Lamps and Rami in the midfield. For now our CMs seem to be Lampard, Mikel, Romeu, Oscar Forwards are Torres, Studge, Marin, Moses, Hazard, Ramirez., Mata LBs seem to be Bertand, Cole RBs seem to be Ivanovic, Ferrerira and Cesar CBs seem to be Terry, Luiz, Cahill GKs seem to be Cech, Ross and Jamal Blackman. (HIlario and Malouda are not in the Champions League Squad). A Squad of 22 looks absolutely fine.

It was Cahill. The commentator even said that Sturridge is asking Cahill what the hell is going on and Cahill seems to respond with I have to put up with that all game in other words getting raped on the right side

Chelsea bit Real Madrid in Super Cup Lazio beat the treble winners Man Utd the following year. Galatasaray beat Real Madrid Liverpool beat Bayern Munich Sevilla beat Barcelona Zenit St. Petersburg beat Man Utd Atl. Madrid beat Inter

You could see the commentators harping on the attitude of Chelsea players. They constantly pointed out that even though it is a friendly of sorts Chelsea players dont seem too interested while on the other hand Atl. madrid look like they r up for it.

Ballack at 33 was ready to take a pay cut and stay at Chelsea but wanted a two year deal instead of a one year deal. Malouda at 32 isnt ready to take a pay cut and is ready to rot in the youth system. Deserves to Rot there.

He is one stubborn character this guy. When at Chelsea I wished he just shut up and get on with his job. He used to get provoked by every small thing in the media and the media loved to provoke him. He pissed off everyone around him and go the boot.

---Cesar------Terry----Cahill----------Cole ----------------Mikel----Lampard--------------- ---Moses------------Hazard----------Oscar ----------------------Torres--------------------- Subs: Mata, Studge, Romeu, Ramirez, Luiz, Ivanovic, Ross.

Oscar, Mikel, Lamps, Romeu should do the job. Look to the future not to the past.

Last time he was on such scoring spree he got himself sent off and was never the same again. I hope that doesnt happen this time.

Wow...So we have two midfield destroyers in Mikel and Romeu and One "Playmaker" in Lampard for the double Pivot. Looks like Oscar is all set to play in the double Pivot.

I remember People here getting pissed at Borini being sold. But he was shit for us under Ancelotti. He missed couple of one on ones against the opposition GK in CC games. He got more chances than Sturridge as Sturridge was injured and fell behind the pecking order. But he didnt capitalize. He did ok at Swansea and in Italy. But he isnt the same player here

Whats up with all these black kids ranting on youtube? there was an Arsenal Fan ranting at Robin Van Persie's sale.

According to his father he loved Chelsea as a kid......

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2197278/Falcao-keen-Premier-League-January.html Seems Legit.

This guy is ridiculous. Absolutely beast of a player. Defenders would be shitting at the sight of him. He is Torres on Steroids. We shouldnt have signed Torres in January 2011. we should have waited for Summer 2011 and signed Falcao for 25m instead from Porto. If ever there is a BIG GAME Player apart from Drogba. This is the guy.

All 50-50 Calls going Man Utd's way.....not surprised

Its not about the Tackle. He was spending most of the time in the attacking half and they were rightly exploiting the space behind him and he wasnt fast enough to get back, It was chaotic

No Real Madrid either

Torres and Studge can do the job. turning back to old players is a sign of weakness.

Firstly, Our "Smallest" squad was during Ancelotti's second season. We have a squad of 24-25 players. So I dont get this "Small" squad let alone calling it "Smallest" 1 Petr Cech Was let down by his defenders. He is a goalkeeper, not a magician.. 2 Branislav Ivanovic Safe as a centre back .One bad game doesnt make him shit at RB. He has been a brute of a RB for 2-3 seasons now...he can afford to have an average season for once.. 3 Ashley Cole Our best defender no doubt 4 David Luiz Really? He was shit against Atl. Madrid but this "Put him in Holding Role" pisses me off. This guy was a ROCK last season 6 Oriol Romeu Stuck behind Mikel and Meireles 7 Ramires Does not have technical ability to play the pass and move. More suited for the Lump the ball and Run game. 8 Frank Lampard He needs to stop making those runs in the box. He is a fucking Holding midfielder not an attacking midfielder. Everytime he makes those runs, Mikel is left exposed. 9 Fernando Torres Maybe getting to his best, but is definitely no Didier Drogba.. 10 Juan Mata Won't be long till he gets burn-out 11 Oscar Got tons of talent but is still very young 12 Mikel He himself mentioned in an interview that he is finding it tough this season. Obviously cus his style isnt suited for an attacking free flowing football. 13 Victor Moses Pretty exciting prospect. Has talent but lets see how he goes in a top 4 club 15 Florent Malouda Should have been sold 16 Raul Meireles Useful squad player 17 Eden Hazard Best signing since Frank Lampard. 19 Paulo Ferreira Useless 21 Marko Marin When he is fit could be usefull. 22 Ross TurnbullUseless 23 Daniel SturridgeWhen he learns to play for the team and not himself he can be useful. Until then, useless... 24 Gary Cahill Will probably captain the side one day. 26 John Terry Needs to take his defense to an all new level. Our different playing style means he will be on the run most of the time. 28 Cesar Azpilicueta Hopefully the player we have been missing. i hope he is fast as fuck. 34 Ryan Bertrand Good but needs a few years. 40 Henrique Hilario Useless Squad is good. One bad game doesnt make them bad players.

Wonder why you didnt start this thread ahead of the Atl Madrid game if thats the case. One bad game and all of a sudden you start looking at how shit our players are. Talk about knee jerk reactions here.

I am so happy for Steve Clarke. I always thought he was a fucking good coach and was surprised he took the assistant's job at Anfield.

AVB's Chelsea side kept conceding stupid late goals and it looks like the trend continues with Spurs.

Mikel appears to have reinvented himself this season as a deep-lying marauder but that is surely exactly what Chelsea do not need when he is playing alongside Frank Lampard and behind the likes of Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Ramires. "It's the same role for me as last year, trying to keep the balance, trying to keep the shape," Mikel claimed, before going on to admit he was finding it more difficult this term. "It is, it is, but it's up to the manager and it's something that we all have to look into." Told you he wasnt cut for a free flowing style

It isnt so much about Hazard, Torres. They werent even in the game in the first 20 minutes cus Ramirez and Ivanovic were getting raped on the right side. Literally raped!! It was game over after 2-0. David Luiz was shit. And Ramirez was responsible for third goal failing to track Falcao. Falcao...Damn what a player this guy is. 5'10 but when in the box he is a Giant!!
