Its better to say that we are hoping for a win and not expecting one.Wins against a championship side and a ten men team doesn't mean we will be able to outplay a confident and talented Napoli side but its good to know that our players have regained some kind of winning mentality.

I can't see that being much of a compromise.RDM is probably our best option and should be taken seriously by every player and fan of Chelsea FC.

I am just hoping for an all round good team performance and yet if we still manage to lose then I wont feel gutted because I will be happy to know that went down with a fight.If at all we do lose then none of us here should blame RDM or question his tactics.Its important we continue to support our manager till the very end and for once show some appreciation rather than criticize and bicker upon every detail.

Lampard as a left winger?This isn't FIFA!

If he can get us to win the FA cup or finish 3rd in the league or heck even beat Napoli then I think Roman must consider keeping RDM as manager on a permanent basis.

Lets just pray he doesn't start Torres!

if we play 4 2 3 1,i want the following players to start cech ivanovic cahill terry cole essien lampard sturridge/ramires mata kalou/sturridge DROGBA

RDM is not doing bad at Chelsea and I think you should really move on with the AVB fiasco.

At times he can be really awful but recent performances have shown that he has improved a lot.I think the best option for the club and Mikel would be to sell him.Mikel is young and should get some more game time than he gets at Chelsea.A few clubs will definitely show some serious interest in him and hopefully a team like PSG or Anzi will offer more than he is really worth. A deal around 15m would be fair and this will give Romeu and maybe even Luiz more chances to play as their preferred role.

No problem.Enjoy the game!

In all fairness,AVB didn't really communicate a lot with the senior players. I remember reading a Lampard interview where he mentioned that he hadn't spoken to AVB for a long time following his exclusion from the starting 11. I think Lampard despised AVB because of his communication skills and not team selection.Lampard just wanted a reason and I guess he never really got one.

Another incentive for him to score a goal.

Another assist by Torres eh?

Mikel has done really well under RDM.He's shown that he is a force to be reckoned with and that he shouldn't be considered as a 3rd choice for the cdm role. I honestly feel that Essien is much better at that role.Essien can offer much more than Mikel,he's fast and can take some lethal long shots.Romeu is also a class cdm.He makes those quick passes up ahead and is solid at the back,he's like a 5th defender for us. Reports have suggested that Juventus are interested in Essien.Now I feel if they offer more than 10m then we should sell him.Essien is too injury prone and its time we sell our players at the right time.The man is almost 30 years old and it can be fair to say that he wont be here for long.Mikel's performances can be erratic but then we also have a consistent Romeu who may choose us over Barcelona when the time comes.David Luiz can also play as cdm,a role which he favors and is quite good at times.So there are many options. I am not really a huge Mikel fan but when I see a player work hard and play well,its my duty as a Chelsea fan to appreciate such performances and praise him.

I am sure Torres wouldn't even have anticipated Mata's pass that eventually led to the goal.Even if he had,he surely wouldn't have been able to convert it to goal like Drogba. At 33,Drogba can offer more than a 27 year old Torres.

Like many of you here I totally disagree.He wasn't great today but he certainly wasn't terrible.He helped out his defenders whenever he could and made some exceptional runs and passes.He is able to offer us so much and lets not forget that glorious free kick chance. Its sad to know that there are some who don't believe in him and criticize him for no reason.The man scored his 100th premier goal for us!Surely he deserves some respect if not appreciation.

We could have played better but one thing is for sure we play more like strong team when both Mata and Sturridge are on the field.

Why isn't Mata playing?

He did quite well at City and with that kind of experience I think he may be a success at Chelsea considering he played for us as well.I am not saying that he should be the main contender for the job but should be considered.

why not?

I would really like Mark Hughes to be considered for the job.

Chelsea played better than how they used to.To my surprise,Mikel and Kalou had a good game and Ramires was just brilliant.His work rate and commitment on the pitch can't be matched by any of our players.I am glad he signed a 5 year contract with us.I don't if many of you noticed but a few our players like Mata,Ramires and Raul looked very irritated yesterday.The only possible explanation would be the sacking of AVB and I am sure they weren't happy with that decision. Chelsea played like a completely new team and at some times played some good football but most of the time a lot of the plays were congested with our players.Luiz played more like a sweeper than a defender,which I didn't like.Its good to know that Terry is near to full fitness and hopefully we will see a Cahill-Terry partnership against a very tricky Stoke side. I know its too early to decide about RDM's managerial skills but I think he did a great job.If he can overcome the Napoli deficit or like Arsenal show some determination and courage like they did against Milan then I don't think we should look for another manager but first, lets see how he does against Stoke.Can't judge him based on only one game but so far he's done a good job. Have to post this twice to make sure my point has been understood.

Petr Cech,so then he will have more goals than Torres
