we need some more flare in the squad. i would love to more english players like milner in midfield

i agree with alex starting instead of carvalho. he has been fantastic against stoke and west ham.

i have been thinking about who has been our best player this season but i havent got a clue who to choose. there has been so many great players for us th season; drogba, anelka, malouda, ivanovic, lampard, terry, a.cole. who do you think our best player has been this season?

for me mikel has improved massively on last season with his tackling and his passing is way better. i think anceolotti is trying to make him a playmaker

anelka and malouda are doing fantastic at the moment

Blues aim to keep Stoch Midfielder set to be offered new deal Stoch: Set for new contract offer Chelsea have offered a new deal to Miroslav Stoch, according to the midfielder's agent. Stoch is currently in the middle of a season-long loan deal with Dutch side FC Twente, but is still contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2011. Chelsea are keeping tabs on the Slovakian international's progress and his representative Milan Lednicky claims they would like him to agree an extension. Stoch, 20, is regarded as an exciting prospect for the future and Lednicky is relaxed about the whole situation. "It should be a long-term contract," he said on the player's official website. "However, it is of no importance to reveal more at the moment. The situation will be clearer some time during the spring." Flattered Stoch admits it is nice to know that Chelsea would be ready to offer him a new deal, although he would have a lot to think about before putting pen to paper. "It flatters me that Chelsea stay interested in my services," he said. "Which player would not be flattered? Chelsea are a top club. "We will surely discuss the offer with my agent and will consider this option. My priority is to play regularly."

DROGBA!!!!!!!

hes amazing. we have to get him before anyone comes in for him

would love to see ballack and deco go and james milner and dzagoev/pjanic come in

drogba will destroy their defence

daniel sturridge is one of my favourite players already. hes good to watch. he injects more pace and skills into the team and ups the tempo. i agree he is more like anelka. he does need to improve his passing in my opinion

i hope daniel sturridge keeps his place in the next round. he is the second top scorer in the competiton and if he scores in the next round and we get through to the semi-finals and to the final ,i believe it would be unfair not to start him.
