All assumptions. Matic signing will surely mean Lampard's playing time is regulated and that will get the best out of him imo

Haha. sturridge is a lot better than Demba

newcastle got mugged. atleast city have injury problems now

come on newcastle. put it in the box

Also, Matic, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard are 4 good starting options. Matic-Ramires, Matic-Lampard is the best midfield pairs among them. better than all current options i think

Haha but it looks like we've got him and the source isn't the Daily Mail or the Daily star Relax. It's from twitter

Chelsea have signed Matic http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/1755350

^Ashley Cole is still okay defensively but he's not bombing forward and making himself available in attack as often as before

it may make us look like mugs but it isn't that big of a deal really especially if he settles in quickly

Jay's posted it in the matchthread

think Mikel would have started yesterday if he had trained on Friday

I would play the same team that played yesterday. The same that played Liverpool (with Ramires in for Lampard). Seem to have struck a rhythm atm.

Thank you Joe Cole for sending him here edit: anyone else notice that almost half the forum has a Hazard avatar now

I don't think we've seen the best from him yet

What the fuck? Dreadful penalty

Torres wasn't good at all but took his goal well.

Good away win. Hazard is on fire now. Cech breaks clean-sheet record. Happy days at the club

fantastic away fans again

that will do....great goal

Mikel on. we're going for more goals here

take Torres off

really stepped up in the 2nd half

Bertrand on the bench!

Lampard, Cole, Eto'o leaving would give Chelsea 24million in savings. Even if one of them (Lampard) stays, it's not much of a problem as they'll only stay on a reduced contract

flat-track bully
