Already getting ripped apart on the counter. Can't have a Lampard-Oscar pivot

Ofcourse, FSW's only change is the obvious one forced by the red card. Wait till the 80th min for Benayoun to replace Mata

Next person to say Luiz is a great passer

Luiz for Lampard. Ake for Moses. 4-4-1.

Wigan and Stoke. Favour please?

Wrong game to pick him.Benteke, Agbonlahor and Weimann will rip Cahill and JT for pace

Pick up the pace on the counter FFS!

Did the same thing vs Adebayor midweek. Backs off till the penalty area.

Cahill and JT vs Agbonlahor and Benteke. Rafa, you genius!

Cahill is such shit.

Decent lineup. Hammer them in the first half and rest some of the lads for Wednesday

There was no other time. Poor Oscar/Luiz/Rami and the English guys have to rush to Rio de Janeiro to play another friendly on June 2. What's worse is that the Brazilians then have the Confederations Cup in June. Chelsea will begin pre-season in July and on the off-chance Chelsea have to play a playoff-game to get into the CL, then they will look to start pre-season earlier. I just hope Oscar and Luiz are not burnt out by all this

Still unnecessary. We were in the US just last year.

But surely there was no necessity to schedule 2 more matches at the end of the longest season for any club in the PL era? It's not like we are broke!

Agree with that. We have won some trophies through this Managerial Merry-go-round but our best League form has come in an environment of stability under Jose and Carlo. Even Carlo's second season, Chelsea made a late charge for the title which I feel wouldn't have been possible had we sacked Carlo in January or Ferbruary of 2011

care to elaborate that statement?

that is never confirmed and i am quite certain it is not true. He told MUTV in March, he'll never come to Old Trafford as the manager. And he did it with a straight face.

Klopp will not come lol He just won't leave Borussia with 3 years left on the contract

If true, then it is a damn shame. I was looking forward to Jose vs Fergie vs Mancini Now it will be Jose vs Moyes vs Pellegrini. What a dud

So, fans shouldn't voice their opinion on Rafa subbing Yossi Benayoun in for Oscar? With Lampard and Ba on the bench?

That moment when you realise there's only 3 more games with Rafa

The board should offer Torres to all the rich clubs - Anzhi, Monaco, PSG etc

Not watched the Portuguese League enough to have an informed opinion on him. Would like to see him at Spain/Germany/Italy before jumping on his bandwagon

Napoli will look to sell him. Just like Lavezzi last year. They are not in good financial shape
