Hypothetically, I hope Josh, Lukaku, Benayoun get a run on the pitch. Realistically, Lampard, Anelka, Kalouda will start/subbed in

Wonder if Romeu will start over Mikel

This medical is taking an awfully long time, maybe I'm just nervous :|

Can't wait to see the face on Malouda once Mata takes over . Yes I'm giggling like a school girl :giggle:

Such a shame

Rock hard Abs! Ass

Yep, we definitely need to get rid of strikers, I think Anelka and Kalou should leave. Sturridge has earned a right to play up front from he's pre-season performace.

Was looking through the transfer forums and didn't see Juan Mata, thought the deal broke down, I shat myself!

Please don't tell me this will be a deadline day signing...

Sydney mate, and will do!

Hello, New member here! Chelsea fan based in Australia. I look forward to discussing topics in relation to Chelsea with you guys in the near future!

Maloukabull

They both need to go

I'll be darned if Torres does not score :unsure:

I honestly think Lampard should not be in the starting XI, he is indeed a legend of Chelsea, however he needs to make room for McEachran etc.

Oriol Romeu will give Mikel a run for his money.

My impression of the game. First Half: Chelsea started really slow in terms of attacking. The midfielders in Lampard, Ramires, and Mikel were not feeding strikers the ball. Kalou had a terrible game, no interaction with anyone except for a couple of creative passes, other than that, useless. Alex, I must admit did not have a great game, however he slightly picked it up after the second half. Torres had an Okay game, the midfielders in Lampard and Ramires did not feed him the ball as often, no through balls, no nothing, really dissapointed in our midfielders. Second Half: Second Half Chelsea picked it up and built up the momentum they didn't have in the first half. Bosingwa in my opinion was Chelsea's Man of the Match, he played like a winger, feeding the ball where possible and dribbled well. However, some of his passes were to no man's land. Now at the 66th minute, I felt that AVB should have subbed in Benayoun for Ramires or Lampard instead of subbing in Ivanovic for Alex. At this point it was 1-1, I felt that we needed the creativeness of Benayoun to play and hold the ball and feed the strikers. All in all I felt that Chelsea played below par, we were lucky to get a win.
