I really don't know where our goals will come from this evening. Lukaku on the wing, is surprising to say the least!

That's a matter of opinion, and mine is that you need two things to be world-class: great talent and achievements; modric falls short of the latter.

Regardless if you think it's a yellow card offense or not, you have to admit the challenge that led to the second yellow was just stupid.

It can't be official yet since no one other than the fail is reporting it. Anyways I've never heard of the kid, is he any good?

A loan move for Torres is not easy as well. He won't agree to play for wigan or fullham and we can't afford to loan him to a team that is contesting the CL place like us. It has to be to a team not in the PL, most likely to Spain.

Amazingly enough this is the second time this season he has scored from this sort of range. The technique in his long shooting is just quality.

Roberto De Mateo held the pre-match press conference today and insisted that Chelsea are in the CC to win it. I hope this means we will win against scumpool because I don't think I can stand seeing the smile of queen Kenny at Stamford bridge again.

3-2 actually. Van buyten missing an empty net from a few yards right at the end.

I'm surprised no has said Ibra's goal yet, that's one of the best finishing I've ever seen.

Great post. I feel exactly the same.

I don't know what lineup to expect tomorrow. AVB could go for a grudge match and play his strongest team or keep his promise of starting youngsters in the CC. If he wishes to use this game to give pitch time to all the players that have not been getting any then I would expect: Turnbul Bos-Alex-Luiz-Bertarnd MIkel Josh-Lamps Kalou- Torres -Malouda But I really hope Romeu gets another start just so I could see him play along side Josh. Those two together are magic.

I totally agree, I think we got too excited about De Bruyne. I watched him in 3 CL matches this season and I honestly think we are better off giving Milan Lalkovic a chance to play for the first team.

Bravo. The point about Didier's contribution was especially interesting. I felt he had a pretty good game especially in using his physical strength to receive the ball in the "hole" to set up attacks.

I think that line up has a great chance at winning any game...mainly because there's 12 players on there!

Once a moron, always a moron!

I just saw the penalty call and I have to say he deserved red. It's just like the Rudy one with Ramires.

What idiot wrote this? The whole article is from AVB's press conference before the wolves match. But most of it has been taken out of context and rephrased to make the manager look bad. The author is trying so hard to wreck AVB's image, I almost feel sorry for him.

No thank you, our defense is messed up and vulnerable already. Besides Mikel is usually as likely to cover Luiz's spot in the defense as he is to score a goal.

I'm all for criticism as long as it is constructive. The message that I was attempting to deliver, is that the Torres vs Drogba war has gone on, now it seems, for ever and has proven to absolutely pointless since the matter of who is better is far from factual. Every fan has his opinion on the subject and no one is convincing anyone to change his opinion. Why don't we aim our criticism towards a more positive direction.

I don't know whether or not Torres should've started today's match, but I do believe that AVB probably knows better than every one here. Why can't we ever support the manager's decision even when it works very well?

I didn't have time to watch the bundesliga today. Good result for Dortmund, Schalke were in very good form. It's always nice to see Bruma score as well. (His second for the season if I'm not mistake.) He was a starter in all of the four or five matches I've watched Hamburg play this season. So I assume he's a regular starter for them.

I think he needs a loan in Jan if all our midfield players remain on form. The amount of pitch time he is getting, even with the reserves, is just sad.

That's great to know. It's always good to have one of Chelsea FC's own in the coaching staff.

*cough* Josh *cough*
