Interesting choice with malouda starting. I guess AVB is resting Anelka and doesn't want to risk Sturridge before he's 100% fit.

I wonder who's gonna play in the holding midfielder position since mikel played full 90mins at the weekend. Would AVB start Romeu?

I really think we will sign him in Jan. Arsenal already bought mertsacer and man don't need defenders, and seeing as his contract expires in the summer we might get him for a bargain 10m-15m.

Of course he will. AVB will definitely put out the strongest available side, believing otherwise is greatly underestimating a side that out-played Barcelona a couple of weeks ago.

I think he's a very good Inzaghi-like striker. You don't score so much goals in the bundesliga if you're not a great striker.

NO NO NO. The day that arrogant cheating disgraceful barcelonean cunt joins chelsea, I'll make sure he doesn't reach London in one piece! I don't care if he's gonna win us all the trophies in the world.

I'm a regular Serie A viewer; Though I've heard of him, I don't remember him ever doing anything that impressed me. I really doubt that he was ever seriously linked with us if even he admits he's not chelsea quality.

Some of my favs:

My fav Chelsea goal: Best goal in history imo: One of Drogba's best goals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koyn6UoH7Jg

This is the most crucial game in our CL group. Winning this game means cruising in the 4 remaining matches imo. So I expect to see the best 11 we have.

Depends if bayern are playing Rafinha then Lahm plays on the left, or Badstuper then Lahm plays on the right. But really on either sides he is a world-class player both defensively and offensively, not to mention he's a real leader on the pitch.

Oriol. Though Luiz and Turnbul were close second.

You forgot Lahm. Definitely the best RB imo.

Oh good. Then I'd love to see him start; Some CL experience can go a long way. But I really expect Raul to make the starting 11 more.

Ramires obviously. The effort he put in offensively and defensively was unreal. But really every one that set foot on the pitch in blue was just amazing.

Is Romeu even included in our CL list of players?

DROGBAAAAAAA!!!!! YEAH!

Great pass by Josh...Ramires could've gotten the Hat-Trick.

We could've conceded a second, why aren't our defenders jumping?!

Iva with 'strong' tackle!

Bosingwa this time with the defensive mistake.

Come on! Did we have to concede??

Josh on!

Well said mate!
