I guess we play like that because half of our team thinks ''as soon I come home and lie on couch...''

bertrand plays best soo far. im sure lukaku, romeu would do better than meireles and kalou...but they just dont try play with them. pathetic. why we have young players? even when our main players are tired, injured or out of form, they wont use youngsters, but keep playing with out-form players...

this one is good: http://www.sport24.me/streams/CreepyTV4.html

cmon blues some more energy please...know they are tired, but it is important match.

meireles you dumby...we are struggling of creativity. in summer we need winger or attacking midfielder, someone young and skillful with ball to pair up with mata. and someone to DECENTLY replace mata, when he will need to rest. meireles yellow card............crap

dembele might trouble our defence during match...

lol at refs hair

terry started? if he is ready, good than mata is on bench, thank god for that. what i would change is sturridge instead of kalou...we cant really blame him for that selfishenss, he is much better than kalou. danny and mata were probably best this season. but maybe he needs some rest too...

good luck now lads!

We usually had great finishes at end of season, but this year, despite some more winning in recent weeks, our results were more depending on luck than actual fight and will to win...now newcastle is at 59 points aswell. We lose or draw tonight and we are also behind newcastle, 6th place then. Really hope guys will do everything to win.

i would never write any lad that plays for us. well maybe bossingwa but in all, he has a lot to prove, he mad step forward since joining dijon and in how terrible form he was, move to french league was best option. surely, he might become our key player in future, but not just there yet. after all he is young and has time to prove

In such ocassions, when we have so many games and players need to rest for more important ones + some injuried players, we just should use one or two players from our youth. Bertrand, Romeu and Lukaku should definately start today. And i think we have just too much wins in mind, we might blow them all. 4th place in PL, winning Fa cup and doing best to beat barca is just too much i think. priority should be pl 4th place, because that is what will matter next season aswell. if we dont get there, no CL football and less chances for signing top players. Fa cup should be just chance to our young players to prove. lukaku, romeu, bertrand, piazon should start. even if we lose against spurs in fa, no one knows we would win if top players would play. and then, they wouldnt be ready for barca. CL is important, playing with our best squad, but not seriously thinking of winning it. Just focus on PL this season and try to get 4th. ------------cech------------- brana-cahill-luiz-bertrand --------romeu-mike-------- ----------sturridge---------- --ramires-torres-lukaku-- i think, this should be starting lineup agains fulham...but mata will surely play and meireles. lukaku and romeu will be missed once again... i know mata is best player we have and should play, but arsenal and barca (and spurs) are more imporant games and somewhere he will have to rest.

droba shined in marseille, essien in lyon and henry came from juve...dijon is much smaller club...lyon was in semis of cl where essien played important role. drogba was marseille top scorer. after all, malouda came from lyon aswell. but kakuta hasnt showed ''that much'' as those players yet. being in good form doesnt mean he will just start perform well for us. he should be better than others in league to realy prove himself, like hazard or so.

it will be tough match for us, since fulham are in good form at home. we draw first match on SB and this will surely be the test. i think matches against spurs and city were harder than this, but still we will have to be better than agains wigan...mata is surely exhausted after playing all match 3 days ago (again) and he could easily miss this one... i wouldnt blame di matteo to rest him. we need to win this game and we are in some form with RDM, but not sure how we will play. ivan made big big shity mistake to hit maloney, but he scored and was in some form recently. cant blame him really. he will miss all those games? disaster. we better play with 3 defenders, rather than with bossingwa on wing

We will definately have hard time playing against barca...they are very good, and what makes easier for them, they usualy go in next round after two legs in cl... But i think, we have experience, strong players and style of play that doesnt suits barca. Also, real just draw with valencia, team we beated 3-0...with good day, some luck and players in form, we can still manage to go in final. after all barca defence has always been shaky and we have mata, lamps, sturridge,...that can go through such defense or make good long passes to drogba, terry, brana,...we should definately play high ball passing, strong defense and try to somehow control the ball with our strong players...not with force, but just enough to not allow messi and co. be that confortable on the ball. I say we have chances and since we are not favourites, we might go through with performance like the one against napoli...experience might be the key. and definately, we will have to take all chances we will get in front of goal. Overall i believe in chelsea since i am a fan, but i dont expect that much after all. they are in much better form this season and play second match in camp nou. but who knows, i dont expect barca will have help with the refs again, if they do, barca wont survive after drogba, terry and lamps go mad after the match

dont see this will happen. madrid seeks for longer solution in rb after arbeloa plays shit. i guess they wont get two players on same position. they already have arbeloa and ramos. new rb and bossingwa means 4 players which is usless...

sold to benfica as part of luiz deal.

arsenal showed it is possible to make realitively unknown player regular starter in six months...he might not be yet on consistant level, but he played great against milan and is clearly good enough to play often. im talking bout chamberlain btw. he was no experienced with pl before, but six months were enough. i think we should try with one or two players per season, because there is clearly enough place in squad, since we dont have consistant players. we actualy did something with bertrand, but he might need to play more if he might be used in bigger games in future. next year, m choices would be lukaku and de bruyne and maybe kane. bertrand obviously, while mceachran, piazon, davila, kalas, pva, bruma, courtois, chalobah, bamford and kakuta should be loaned. unless we wont buy anything big i summer (which might happen), than these youngsters might be already useful to use in fa cup and less important matches...

Well, the guy was obvious our brightest spot of our young players for some years now. Had great season at Bolton and then managed to get into our first team. Netted 9 goals and 5 assists in PL in first half of season, kept Chelsea on some level along Mata, but now it seems, he is fadding. His form is decent, but he doesn't scores much recently and what is expected from winger to provide assists, he left that part aswell. He was selfish from beggining of season, but at least he made few nice assists. Now, obviously he become even more selfish. Im concerned because he wants to play as striker, but I just dont see him there. Behind striker or on wing... What is worse is that guy was bright english hope of Chelsea, probably one of key players in future of our club...He just has to play on wing and provide assists for our players...ocassionaly, he can shoot on goal, but his primary role should be to ''pass the ball when our central forward is open and has empty goal in front''...di matteo has to tell him that or the guy will just fade...

too bad he didnt excell at bolton, now he is in better form, but in french league...will he be that good in epl?

it looks like altintop transfer to madrid last season. i cant say it is impossible, but madrid is looking for someone on rb to permamently replace arbeloa in next season. someone younger and in better form.

I always thought with Essien, we have next Makelele. And especially Lassana Diarra was even more like young Makelele, when he was playing for us. Really dont know, why we sold him...damn...

Also Nick Powell from Crewe Alexandra appears to be on target list for Chelsea. 18yrs old attacking midfielder is rated at 250,000eur, I guess about 2mio should be enough for him...played on all youth english levels soo far. Arsenal is also interested in him and I hope if he is cheap, we should buy him. I dont want he becomes another Chamberlain in Arsenal...

I'm sure he wont go after this season...However, since you mentioned ridiculous prices for players, I still cant believa Arsenal left Fabregs for reported fee of 35mio...The guy had contract until 2015 and 23 yrs old. Top assistant and best player of Arsenal and they sold guy for 35mio? I remember rumours Chelsea might snap him for 50mio! before he went in Spain (I know we would never get him, but in best case, 50mio atleast). Just hate when Barca, who already got so much talent, get such top class players for soo cheap...And yes, Arsenal are DUMB. Same with Real and 10mio Ozil or 10mio Sahin or...Ozil was truly steal of century...Now, I hear Chelsea is interested in Ocampos to pay around 12,5mio. And the guy would probably sitting on bench... Back to Mata, indeed, most skillful player in Chelsea since...but not quite sure if our style will suit him in future...AVB had clearly vision with this club, bringing Mata, Courtois, de Bruyne, Lukaku. The game wasnt perfect, results worst, but in few years, with revamp of squad. we would be in deadly form (guessing, he would actualy involve youngsters to play - Romeu,..), and yes, finish this season in 6th place max with him. My biggest wish will always remain; that our youngsters fullfill their talents and to see such team in next 5 years: Courtois Kane-Chalobah-Kalas-Bertrand Romeu Mceachran-Piazon Kakuta-Feruz-Lukaku Others being Bamford, Hutchinson, PVA, Devila,

and who would you use on the left wing? eriksen will stay in ajax for another season, Mata is better in CAM position, rather than on the wing. Cabaye is CM, while Hoilett is just not that top material, whith who we could use wings again. Hazard would make difference in attack. Baines is indeed very good, but we still have Cole and promising Bertrand(played great match today). van der Wiel would cost us more than you mentioned, but he is very good.
