sturridge starts not anelka

[Peace. 4,352]

He's 21 playing under a very high pressure, I wouldn't be surprised if he made a mistake.

Oh okay, I see where you come from. I thought you were saying he wasn't that good.

While I'm agree he could make some mistake under pressure due to his age, I also think he is a quality player.

[lecter 84]

Why do we have 2 DMs on the bench?

Luiz will be the ultimate impact sub for this one, bringing on Luiz is great way to go under the radar for the inevitable cagey first half.

[Peace. 4,352]

It was a joke, hence the ...

Okay, my bad ^^

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Lukaku made the bench ahead of Kalou!!

I meant that those players I've mentioned are either young or not world class and it's much easier for some of them to play great when the whole team is doing great *cough* Kalouda *cough* *cough*

Mata on Smalling? Torres on Evans and Jones? Sturridge on Evra? We've got a fair chance.

He also lacks pace as he is originally a CB not RB. Mata can take advantage of that.

Come on Chels make this weekends result even better

[Kojo 4,676]

I can't believe Mikel isn't playing... Our midfield will get battered now.

I think it safe to said that Kalou has no futur here.

[dodojojo 510]

Their backline may be suspect but so is Chelsea's. Not a big fan of Brana as CB and Rooney and Hernandez's pace and movement will likely give him and Terry nightmares.

[TomCFC 356]

Ten minutes...

AVB =

Malouda's media presence hasn't had the desired effect either.

[Ollie 4,400]

I'm more nervous now after seeing the teams. If we lost to Man Utds first team, then ok, fair do's well done and look forward to the next game. Losing to this team and failing to score 2 or 3 would be a bitter pill to swallow for me, i don't think i'd be able to take it. I'm nervous simply because we genuinely should beat that team.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Hahaha finally we don't have to cringe when thinking of who'll come off the bench!

[Nic! 301]

I think it safe to said that Kalou has no futur here.

Great that Lukaku got picked before Kalou. If only AVB decided that for his UCL squad as well...
