Lampard to score in his 350th EPL game.

Really? How so?

Hahahaha that just made my day!

I expect: Cech Bos-Iva-JT-Cole Meireles Rambo-Lampsy Stur-Drogs-Mata And if all went to plan, I expect Josh and Romelu to be involved at some point.

That is so out of character for him.

I think we'll know in the next week or so if he's even interested in leaving Fiorentina, he is supposedly in contract negotiations.

The article did say how much we're paying them to take Kalou?!

I disagree that we don't need him. What would happen if Mikel gets injured tomorrow? I really didn't like Raul playing at CDM. You're right he is more like essien, but we all know that by the time essien returns and regains his form, he'd be injured again...

In what way is Mikel better?

Thank you. That is exactly what I meant about him leaving the defense exposed many, many times. And keep in mind that Luiz was playing at the back and was quick to cover for him countless times. If it had been Iva playing at the back we would've undoubtedly conceded more.

I love how he handled the Tevez question, he didn't upset anyone. Very intelligently put Mr.Boas.

He's better than Mikel.

It's the second time this week I read in several papers that we're going for Sami in Jan. We are supposedly considering making a 20m bid: http://www.mirrorfoo...icle806042.html http://www.tribalfoo...chelsea-1913462 I think this all came from the rumor that Khedira and morinho had a disagreement after the Levante game. For me he's a great player, who's a vital part of a great german generation of footballers. Plus he is still young and can improve even more. Opinions? PS: I know there's another Sami Khedira thread, but that one is locked.

Never really noticed before. Come to look at it, I have to say the Blue look more chelsea-like.

Cech was great in several saves, but he did make a huge mistake by coming out and not getting the ball, he was drawn away from his goal and Lampsy had to clear it from infront the empty goal. So I went for Frank instead.

I'm sorry, I thought you were implying that he shouldn't start anymore for Chelsea.

Phill Jones, Mica Richards, Sagna...spring to mind.

Luiz was exceptional, cech was amazing but I had to go with.......Kalou.

No but the media would have him retire immediately and claim that he no longer has a place at chelsea. He still has a lot to give to the team, his experience alone is a great weapon. He should be part of our rotation in the midfield just like everybody else; He should start in some matches and be benched for others. I think he showed in Valencia that if he is rested for a game, he can perform well in the next.

That is exactly why I think Meireles won't play as holding midfielder. If not romeu the surely Mikel will start imo.

I think first half his performance mirrored the teams average performance. I thought he was good defensively, but offensively the whole team struggled because mata, malouda and Torres weren't making runs and proper movement off the ball.

If you are convinced that a player will under perform, then that is exactly what you will see him do. I suggest you try watching the next match Lampad features in without any prior judgements because you are seeing only what you want to see in my opinion.
