Strike

with Hazard Eto'o back and Ivanovic at Centreback , think Chelsea can win this. We're a different team at home

read the post again. not talking about yesterday

counting europa i think?

he's no turnbull

i remember he saved from lampard once

this is a wake up call really. 2 years from 2012. over 150 million spent on players and still resorting to park the bus tactics. needs to change that soon imo. not that i condemn chelsea for playing it yesterday, 0-0 is a decent result away from home given injuries etc but approach needs to change soon

Schwarzer and why rest Mikel and Lampard? they're out of 2nd leg

masterclass? nope! great defensive performance but absolutely no plan or clue going forward

thankfully available for 2nd leg

Ashley Cole

Weak team. Rest the lot of them. except Lampard and Mikel

really entertaining

and a wasted freekick at the end. put it in the box ffs

positive - schwarzer had nothing to do negative - courtois had nothing to do did not mind that half. Torres absolutely has to go

why didn't Ba start if we're playing long balls

i'm inclined to think daily mail are a joke

this will be a success if the team doesn't concede in the first 50-60 mins. otherwise i can see atletico getting a few today

so daily mail were making stuff up again about ashley cole. retards work there

Mikel

YouNameit should predict Chelsea will win the Champions league again

very attacking lineup this

Chelsea: Cech Azpilicueta Cahill Terry Cole Mikel Luiz Lampard Ramires Torres Willian. No Hazard on bench

lineups leaking are common. i hope he's wrong too

martin lipton says 4-3-3 with Ramires wide. he's not sure though

there is a big problem with bringing in youth when chelsea have backup players who are international players for England, Germany, Brazil. I think the squad need to be trimmed. By a LOT. The Mohamed Salah and Willian deals for example - there was no real need to go out and get them. Chelsea could easily make do with any of the young AM's as fifth or sixth choice. I would like to see guys like Moses, Romeu, Marin, Kakuta, THazard sold off, maybe with a buy-back clause if the player has potential. trim the squad down to 20 with maybe 3-4 youngsters with the first team
