The more I try to analyse this game the more it looks tougher for us. We just can't loose this game that will leave us with a tougher shedule to qualify since head to head rule will be used first in the eventuality of a tie in the group. But again they said arsenal and tottenham will be big tests we crossd them now shakhter is next in line to be crushed... I am more hopeful than confident.

True talk. I don't think he was really recognised for his superb role in our last EPL title winning season under anceloti where we scored the most goals in EPL history, 103. It all starts from the base and mikel was our standing DM as essien was injured almost through out that season if I remember correctly.

Tbh all your points are pointless since we are doing very well with oscar and his cohorts for cfc. Just Enjoy watching them even our rivals are pleased to watch them.

A height difference is not virtual on the football field. Torres is taller and has a better leap in addition to his work rate and what not.

I get your point as RVP is as prolific too but its not the same to most People because RVP is not quite a pure striker or old fashioned no.9 or as intimidating as falcao but imho RVP overall is a better player than falcao(on that I agree with you) but falcao is the best pure striker or finisher around now. RVP is a striker that plays as well as scores but falcao is a striker that does his job in context and excellently too I.e to finish

A few people want sturridge to b our no.9 but I think RDM prefers Torres as a starter bcoz he offers height to our team both in attacking and defending set pieces and I also agree with RDM

Falcao is the best finisher messi is the best striker

There goes falcao again. I heard somewhere that the best players in la liga only play for real or barca. That's not wise to say anymore is it?

On second thought I think this game is a tougher match than manu @stamford bridge and of similar significance bcoz they have same points as us so we need to stamp our authority on this group. I remember watching shahkter vs barca and boi where shaktar very good they caused barca all sorts of problems and also juve recently. To get anything out of this game we need to be at our best and also play our best players available never mind the manu game. This is going to end in a win(hopefully for us) or loss bcoz of the attacking prowess of both teams. RDM will surely set up for a win bcoz a draw will b much more difficult and tricky to achieve. Really exciting game to look forward to.

He also looks about 12 and isn't very intimidating on the field, neither does he look like a future leader of men. My Opinion: Thank God you are not a chelsea scout/manager or we will have TITUS BRAMBLE as our captain. Talking about size is an insult to mata,ashley cole,marin also which means u don't know wat mata and cole represent for chelsea fc Oscar isn't intimidating on the field? U make me laugh. Just ask pirlo and arteta, oh and paul scholes on sunday Lastly TheCount observes oscar to be a cunt funny considering your name

Oscar(marin) and possibly ramires(lampard) and luiz(ivanovic) should be given a rest for the manu game. Dave should play right back with iva moving to partner cahill in the centre of defense. Sturridge should start in place torres who could come on if things are not going as planned. Cech Dave-Iva-cahill-cole Mikel-lamps Mata-Marin-Hazard/Moses Sturridge/Torres

Spot on. But I still think torres is not good value for money but is better than sturridge and lukaku bcoz he is a striker that plays also for his team and is scoring @d moment.

Hazard is good but he never shoots I don't knw y? May be he is just playing more for the team. Anyway regardless he is definitely wat I hoped he will be for cfc. I think he is very similar to joe cole in terms of his probing but not as good in finishing yet but has more energy,pace and defensive awareness, a more complete team player.

He makes his job look easy as a result pple don't notice him unlike makelele who was always sweating(but really great).

Bought @ 20yrs of age, didn't play a single game of pre season, thrown into a hostile league, making his full debut in the toughest club competition in the world, against the italian champions, now cementing his place in the squad of the european champions, THIS KID HAS GOT TO BE GREAT!!!

He seems to be talking more about JTs absence than both teams. Lol. He must be confused already I guess /Hazard/Mata/Oscar so many problems for him...Hehehe

I dare tottenham to attack us. If they do they'll get smashed bcoz either hazard mata or oscar can pick a 50yard pass on the counter attack not to talk of a 25yard pass on the counter attack(remember hazards goal from a mata counter attack VS norwich). I predict some DELICIOUS football from chelsea.

Its best he shuts up his mouth atm bcoz I think our next 10 games will determine if he has a long term future at chelsea. I just have this feeling its the last make or brake time 4 him.

Nice to have an early kick off can't wait much longer...really anxious to see our stars esp mata I wonder with this rest wat he will do to tottenham. Oscar too, had great games 4 brasil.

Chelsea will be too strong for tottenham. I expect a win but also a very exciting game.

Well if sturridge goes and possibly falcao comes in. I Can't complain.

Next season: Lampard out Josh in, Next 2 seasons: cole out bertrand in with van Aanholt also in as deputy.

My opinion: At the moment i am indifferent on this issue until january when we can assess the performance of torres and sturridge who will surely be given his chance before then. But if falcao is to come torres must go. No point having 4 strikers for one spot (imagine having 4 left backs).
