Strike

Nope. then torres will be our only striker and as good as he has been in the first week, 1 striker in the squad is ridiculous. selling sturridge now will leave us scrambling for a striker and there are not many good strikers out there especially Home-grown because with sturridge gone we need to get in our 8th home-grown player or else we have to register todd kane or nathaniel chalobah in the PL squad

I think we should take it game by game. Bertrand did an excellent job against Newcastle to nullify Ben Arfa from the right and also added balance to the team. but when we face a weaker team, rdm will sacrifice him for a more attack minded player. it depends on the opposition. mata and hazard have shown they can combine very well without the need of a 3rd attacking player although a 3rd attacking player like oscar , marin or moses wouldn't hurt one bit when we are trying to break down a stoke city for eg

with the depth we have now, we should be able to manage a toughish group with PL but i definitely don't want Dortmund, Juve and Valencia

lamps/oscar on the left? or in a narrow position?

it's all right. 1 bn is not much of a financial set back to Samsung. they have enough money to practically take over a country like Argentina or something. 1 billion maybe a fraction of it's quarterly PROFIT, let alone, revenue

Benfica please. Just so that we can shut up their fans again!

it does now. jim corrected it for world time variation. well atleast it was working for few games atleast.

yep i heard ivanovic is partnering torres up front on friday

send mata to jamaica on holiday. he needs a friggin rest

atleast its a draw. unless they score in the next 2 mins. as much as we could hope for i guess

i reckon they'll sit deep and try to counter... if someone nicks one in, there's a chance.. i'm hopin borini because let's face it, suarez can't finish to save his life

202 is the mark to beat i think?

they are tied up in 9 countries with samsung winning a few i think. and 1bn is just 1.5% of Samsung's revenues. so i hope it doesn't affect chelsea

all 3 games - eden was my captain. 68 points from him

yep really like the ground passing behind torres between mata and hazard. i reckon mata should be rested for 3 weeks now and come back fresh to smash QPR again

did anyone else think that we were taking pointless long distance shots early on? also, i counted david luiz playing 4 ridiculous long balls from deep. one from a free kick even. we need to play it on the floor with the players we have now. the message has reached cech who is taking short goal kicks but not david luiz

Loved West Brom's passion. Wonder what'd happen if they did win the league lol

lampard's exclusion makes sense. meireles' inclusion doesn't whatsoever

he does. No Lamps, No terry no rami tonight

strong and creative

what is with damien duff and scoring first? uncanny. he did it often for chelsea and now its 2 in 2 games for fulham this season

looked quick but was nervous i think. caught on the ball twice

unlikely now. the club will probably shut down the search for players unless there is a bad injury in the next 2 weeks. i'd be surprised if we sign anyone else but yeah we do need a CF or a CDM.
