they didn't want to risk them as they would get 2 more weeks of rehabilitation after this game

you can be critical of Fernando's performance as he missed two absolute sitters but the distinct change in his style of play yesterday was heartening to see. not only did he provide a cushion to link up with but he even made the runs behind the norwich back four. he should ve scored but still it was great to watch. well timed header too

Robert Lewandowski. fits the current system

apparently that is how you pronounce his name. "Azzar'" Jim Beglin confirmed it with Eden himself. sucks, i know

Oscar pullin the strings here. Totally runnin the show

those 6-0 predictions look a bit silly now.

yeah. i remember the 4-3 in 2008. but generally as years have passed, terry has handled the likes of peter crouch, kenwyne jones etc better than di santo or defoe

Terry should handle Holt with ease. Its the smaller, quicker players who trouble him

Hutcho CFC. finally

tv - home. kinda my only option here

never in a million years. united have it with them this year. after vidic, jones and smalling return united will be hard to beat. especially now that they've signed Mark Halsley as well. Chelsea will do well if we continue this unbeaten run a bit longer but expect us to fade when we face teams like everton who almost always find a way to stifle us

taking our time to fashion chances atm. probing and probing and probing........too much foreplay

let him have it. won't last much longer

Fernando Torres was not bought by Chelsea to "link-up" with the midfielders and run the channels. he should be making the runs behind the opposition back-four and burying the chances he gets. so No. he has not been consistently good this season. He had poor games against Wigan, QPR and Stoke etc..

best starting eleven imo Cech Ivanovic Cahill Luiz Cole Mikel Ramires Hazard Mata Marin Sturridge hope to see this lineup atleast once this season

there is a vacant moderator position? anyway no, i'll leave moderating stuff to responsible people. i have been barely active this last month and i am trying to make up by posting more often now.

can't base the formation around hazard just yet. he's a real talent i agree but right now what we should do is get the best out of Torres. he is the striker and he should bury the bulk of the chances he gets. right now we aren't creating much and of the few we do create, nando seems hesitant to pull the trigger. we need to start placing balls in behind the opposition defence for nando to run at rather than have nando tirelessly work around and create space for our attacking midfielders

I would start Terry. unavailable after the international break. so start him and keep others fresh

he could be a devastating asset if used properly. nips possession well although his technical skills are a hindrance in the middle of the park (first pass against arsenal - lol) but expect him to improve on that as the season wears on. much better than on the wing anyway

real shame about ldn and tomo. hopefully once you are free, you'll return to regular posting on the forum
