Rest players for Gala? I'm sorry, I don't get that at all. The league is the priority and by some distance and history as well as tactical analysis suggest that this will be a very tough game.
Of course I want us to qualify in the CL, but in the league, we have 9 cup finals remaining.

Eto'o is worse than Torres

Moyes and Manure need help ... but if you are a glory hunter try RM

At the end of the day, football is supposed to be about entertainment. This Chelsea team is one of the most expensively assembled sides in the world, yet the opposition made us look like a pub team. How can a team with Hazard, Schurrle, Oscar, Torres, and so on, produce such turgid football?

Mancini, who is supposed to be a conservative manager has his team keeping it on the ground and passing it. We just lump it forward to oblivion. Look at poor Hazard. Out of breath chasing shadows for 90 mins against Galatasaray. He doesn't deserve that shit. It's not fair on him. He can't even express himself, because the offensive play tactics are basically non-existent.

It's a decent result, but can anyone really be pleased with that boring rubbish? And it's been like this all season. What the fuck is happening? As soon as a team pressures us, we can no longer string two, three passes together. Awful
Hazard, Willian, Schurrle, Oscar. They don't deserve that shit. They don't deserve to be chasing shadows for 90 mins in big games where the WHOLE world is watching. Mourinho seriously needs to do something about his tactics and become more flexible.
It's why Roman payed 100's of millions to buy these flair players. He must be pretty upset about what he just watched. Fuck the 1-1 result. That was cowardly football. They outplayed us from start to finish, I admit it.

Salah couldn't finish his dinner, his miss alone warrants an early exit

Luiz was marking Anichebe, loses him and doesn't even contest the header. Watch it.
There's a reason Luiz has barely been selected in the last three months, and it isn't because Cahill's English - it's because Cahill defends our goal better. He might not be as technically sound as Luiz, he might not be as wacky, but if we want to win goals then there is no reason to select Luiz in defence.

I FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL ANTI MIKEL BELIEVERS!

The bad thing is about David Luiz is that he is bad at the simplest and easiest of things. The last few games he has played for us he has given the players far to much space. Luke De Jong a free header and Luiz was just stood right next to him giving him 2 yards. The Anichibe case again similar.
He is quality when he is inform but when you need someone to come in and just do one duty whilst Terry is gone David Luiz really isn't ready for that. I say he either starts every game or he barely plays at all.

So we can't criticize Mikel in the city game because everyone played really bad, but we can single him out in a game where everyone played really well and give him the lime light when it was Lampard who made all those vital interceptions and cleared the ball out of the box more times than the average centre back.

Stands to reason that the over the top praise would be cause it's something supporters had not witnessed before. Again why are the likes of Frank,DD,Ash not praised for something as vague as 'Mikel gave players an outlet'or some such jazz?

So some vague stuff then.Nothing concrete to show he had a better game than any of the other players on the pitch who all stood up to be counted to a man.
Ash. Frank. DD. Cech.But it's expected of those guys is it not? It's almost the norm for those guys to be stellar so it's let slide. Mikel was praised cause no-one thought he had it in him to stand up and be counted. Exception rather than the rule.

What exactly did Mikel do in that CL final that Lampard did not?
Lampard had 71 passes with an 85% accuracy to Mikel's 65 with an 88% accuracy.
Mikel had 4 tackles and 3 interceptions. Lampard had 4 tackles and 5 interceptions.
86 touches to Frank's 96.
Mikel got dispossessed once and had 1 turnover.
Lampard was dispossessed once and had 0 turnovers.
I thought Ash was the motm. So what did Mikel do that was so stellar in the CL?
He is the ONLY holding midfield player at the club.Why do people get so riled up if fans want to see a better player at Chelsea instead of Mikel?

pl apps dont make you a useful player. torres has 100 for us

Fixed.
Sorry Ryan, but the fact is Mikel was the only DM we've had since Mak (even still, Mikel was a AM moulded into a DM). You might be right, but that would simply be because we had no comparison for so many years.
However, traditional DMs like Mikel are effectively dying out in the modern game. Would he get into the Munich, Barca, Madrid, City teams? Is he as good as the starting CM/DMs they have? Not a chance. So much more has to be offered now and Matic is a player that offers a lot more than Mikel in every department.
