Santiago.

He's 20, inexperienced in this high level game, inexperienced in the physical and tempo nature of the PL, He is doing more than fine, our best Holding midfielder we have and why he doesn't play baffles me.

And a shutout please

100 percent sure if Torres doesn't perform it'll be between Falcao or Cavani

Kalou------Drogba/Torres-----Sturridge -----------Mata-----------Ramires---------- ------------------Romeu----------------------- A.Cole---------------------------------Ivanovic -------------Luiz---------Cahill------------------- COYB!!!!!!!!!

I trust Ferreira more than Bosingwa atm

TBH, i would rather have Torres than Drogba 2-1 Chelsea Lampard and Sturridge Torres both assists....

Still don't understand why many of you have Lampard as a starter

There is no way on earth, The San Paulo is smaller than SB

Who the fuck claimed AVB should be sacked?

To my understanding, both forwards were bought to score goals, you say they got someone worse, when he scored more than Torres as of now? If the CF's intention is to score goals, how did they get someone worse?

Point proven

Essien, Romeu, Ramires Essien's power could have been a great component, then subbed off for Mikel. Romeu stabilizing the midfield. Ramires's energy leading the counter attack His lineup was illogical, what comes into play is something we can't possibly know, either biased thinking in picking the Portuguese or proving a point to the Senior Players, until further proven, his starting tactics cost us. Pulled Drogba to the side, "Hey Didier, go win this for us." Something to provide motivation or anything to pump the team up, and it was shown last night in the second half, just not the right players on the field that could have been. Hoping and praying he looks into the squad for the away leg as i still have hope

W Well his lineup was illogical and rational, far from getting his tactics spot on in that category

If he had his "tactics spot on" we would have saw essien ramires and a romeu midfield

Napoli excelled in wide spaces, Stamford Bridge is very narrow, Romeu must play, still have a feeling we can edge it

Carroll scores goals, Torres may be a better footballer, but we bought him to solely score goals, he has failed in that department, fact is, we are on a 4 game losing streak against Liverpool, i fail to see how we got the better deal

Considering our dominance in attack and possession, i actually have high hopes for the away leg, considering defence shows up and AVB realizes his Portuguese duo's are shit COYB!!!!!!!! LETS DO EM 3-0!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it? Are they Napoli and Chelsea fans? Thought this was a Chelsea support forum?

---------------Torres------------ Sturridge----Mata-------Ramires -------Essein--------Romeu------- A.Cole---------------------Ivanovic ----------Luiz--------Cahill---------- ----------------Cech------------------ With our current options, this imo would be the best fit

Actually excited to witness it, We'll might actually pass City's spending amount Wilkins: AVB should follow Fergie Under-fire Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas should learn from Sir Alex Ferguson's handling of his senior players, according to Ray Wilkins. http://www.football365.com/premier-league/7538270/Wilkins-AVB-should-follow-Fergie Good read

Catalan or Catalonia, i'm not basing judgement or anything. Simply claiming that the majority of my 'Spanish' friends support Madrid or Valencia, while the Hispanics "Latinos" Support Barca, least in the states.

Ashley Cole "told AVB, 'I came here to win medals and trophies, but I'm never going to do that with your tactics'." Is this statement true?

Replace Ramires with Romeu, For our squad to be proper again, Ramires needs to be the worst midfielder we have

Better than a broken toe
