Interesting to see whether RDM sticks with Cahill/Terry partnership for this match or if Luiz gets to start against his former club. Mata could probably sit out some of the remaining league matches so he's at at his best for more important games in the CL and FA Cup. It's not like there's anything left to play for in the league because 4th place is nearly lost already.

That picture looks scary.

Can't wait for the season to end. Remind me again, why was AVB sacked for this shit?

-----------Drogba-------------- Kalou-----Mata-----Sturridge -------Mikel---Lampard------- Cole--Terry--Cahill---Luiz -------------Cech--------------- Three points is a must if we are to beat spurs for the 4th place. Ivanovic is most likely out and would hate to see Bosingwa tomorrow but then there's Benfica on Tuesday so playing all of Terry, Cahill and Luiz is a big risk. Perhaps Torres could start too so Drogba could be rested for the CL match but Torres was shit against City... Hard decisions for RDM.

Torres would most likely have scored even more had Danny been a little bit more of a team player. Just hope he can build on this and continue this form for games to come. Couple of goals against City would do just fine.

Hoping for Benfica in the QFs. Nowhere near the hardest of draws and it'd be nice to see Luiz & Ramires face their former club. Then in the semifinals the winner of Marseille/APOEL

Happy with that lineup. Let's hope we have a reason to be happy after the match as well.

--------------Sturridge--------------- Kalou---------Mata--------Ramires --------Lampard--Mikel------------- Bertrand--Luiz----Cahill--Ivanovic -----------------Cech------------------

So disappointed. Back to square one and around £40m wasted. Why would any top manager even want to manage Chelsea after this? I can think of only one positive thing from all this and that is Di Matteo taking over for the remainder of the season so at least Benitez ain't coming to mess things up even more. Would rather still have had AVB stay

Disgrace of a performance today by Chelsea. Cole, Lampard and a couple other players simply do not care about CFC any more so why should the manager get sacked because of that? Surely the 4th spot could be achieved with a different manager but what then? Another season with these same players under another manager and again the same problems halfway through the season or stick with AVB now and get a proper squad for next season?
