Nothing wrong with Roy Keane! But Ipswich will go out there with nothing to lose, Players like Scotland and Priskin could cause us problems.

IMO last season we won the league because the PLAYERS wanted it so much, This season there lacking that intensity and the players wouldn't want it, and its the managers job to stop the team from becoming complacent, Which Ancelloti appears not to be doing.

Ashley Young, Seamus Coleman, David Luiz, Romelu Lukaku.

I can see us losing

Ancelloti has been a joke of a manager these last few months, He refuses to change a thing and buy players, I hope he gets sacked ffs.

Carlo is being pretty stubborn tbf, He refuses to play anything but 4-3-3 with a Malouda - Drogba - Anelka/Kalou top.

He's not dead, and I couldn't give a shit what you'd rather.

Roman has the money to pay compensation fees.

It would be a complete shock if Carlo stays so, Who do you want in charge next?

Carlo may aswell say his goodbyes in the dressing room, Thanks for the double Carlo, I appreciate everything you've done for us, Good luck in the future.

Lads, Surely Carlo's Mangerial skills have to be questioned, I know he's won the double, but we've been shite since November, He hasn't changed anything, plays with the same team in the same formation.

Yeah I would have voted for that.

Give Cole a rest and give PVA a start!

He can't cross a ball or beat a man, Why on gods earth is he starting on our right wing? Last season and the season before he got away with it because when we gave him the ball he was always in space and others did the hard work for him. But this season when we need him to step up he hasn't. He slows that the play so much, Sturridge is a far better player.

Sturridge injects much more pace into our buildup play, He looks lively, Hope he starts midweek.

It could be worse, could be Liverpool!

Tbf, If ya offered us a draw at 80 mins you would have taken it, Still disapointing though.

Great shout.

Carlo Ancelotti has made his decision on who will replace suspended Branislav Ivanovic in central defence against Aston Villa and he has opted for youth. Nineteen-year-old Jeffrey Bruma will be given that position on the pitch ahead of other options such as Paulo Ferreira or Michael Essien. 'It is the time that we can use Bruma,' Ancelotti confirmed, speaking to Chelsea TV at Cobham on Friday. 'He is a young player who is a very good defender. He has a lot of ability, he has played some games and in this time he is improving. He works very closely with John Terry, Ivanovic and Alex and it is the time to put him in. I am sure that he will do his best.' Sunday's match will be the Dutch defender's first start in the Barclays Premier League. He has begun one match in the Champions League and one in the Carling Cup and made six appearances as a sub. In the Carling Cup game against Newcastle this season, John Terry and Alex shared a half apiece as his partner at the back. Against Zilina in the Champions League it was Ivanovic. On Sunday he will line up alongside the captain. 'For Bruma it will be fantastic support to have Terry alongside,' noted Ancelotti, 'but he trained very well, he knows how he has to move but with John Terry it will be easier to move.' There are no new injuries to the squad but John Obi Mikel, who missed the Bolton game, will not be available. He suffered a knee ligament strain against Arsenal and is expected to be out for approximately three weeks. Daniel Sturridge, who was absent from the Arsenal and Bolton games with a knee injury, is back in training. Aston Villa have Emile Heskey and Ashley Young returning from injury but Luke Young remains out. 'The last two weeks when we were able to train was very good and the players rested very well from the games,' said Ancelotti. 'We have to beat Aston Villa because we have to confirm the performance in the second half against Bolton. Obviously we have to improve our place in the table and we are not sure everything is okay now, we have to confirm this with a good performance to start the new year with confidence. 'Aston Villa are in trouble now and we have to pay a lot of attention because every game for them will be important. They can use maybe the game against us to move on and for this reason we have to pay attention because they will use a lot of energy for this game.' Defending and attacking set-pieces are important parts of the game for any side looking to climb the table. Ancelotti is happy with the way we have dealt with opposition free-kicks and corners. Only West Ham have found our net that way in the league, but he is hoping to see his team score more in the coming months, especially from corners where early season success has dropped away. Ivanovic against Moscow in early November was the most recent one scored. 'On set pieces this season we have done well. We scored from a set piece against Arsenal, we didn't score maybe from corners but the most important thing is we didn't concede a league goal from set pieces and defensively we did very well. Last season in the first matches we conceded a lot of goals and now we are more in focus. Also now Frank Lampard is back and he is very good at taking corners and maybe we can have more opportunities.'

Drogba v Pompey in the FA Cup final.

I didn't reply because I went to sleep, Sorry about that. I'm not Kalou's number one fan, He does make mistakes and is in a poor run of form, But I have faith in him like I do with all of Chelsea's players. You weren't criticizing him towards the end of last season when he was playing well for us. We don't have many pacey players or players with good dribbling abillity, Which is something Kalou offers. I do agree whoever he should be used more as an impact player of the bench rather than a starter.

People seem to forget his hattrick against Stoke last season, In 35 apperances he got 12 goals, isn't bad for a player who is a sub, 2 goals and an assit coming off the bench against Wigan this year, That really aren't the stats that a shite player has tbf.

Ashley Cole for me

Cech Bosingwa - Essien - Terry - Cole Ramires - Mikel - Lampard Sturridge - Drogba - Malouda

Why not knock Stamford Bridge and build a stadium in its site? We could play in Twickenham or The Olympic Stadiium in the meantime.
