Valencia 1-1 Chelsea

[Bacika 188]

I expect win too...they are just Valencia after all

My prediction for the lineup:

Ceh

Bosingwa- Luiz-Ivanovic(Terry)-Cole

Ramires-Romeu-Lampard

Anelka-Tores-Mata

I don't know if sturidge is fit so I didn't put him in this lineup...Malouda could come in, and Drogba and Meireles too...

[Chelsea? 892]

good team but if we go with: Ramirez, Mikel/Romeu, and Mierales. with Anelka, Torres/Drogba and Mata up front, I predict a 2-0 win. Anything else might be a struggle for us.

[bluephoenix 1,125]

a win would be really good :-) but wouldn't mind a draw ... I don't care if make mistakes in the groups stages, because only if we make mistakes will AVB can analyse the team better and as we progress further we will be an even better team.

[blue out west 27]

i think soldado the man who must we focus ..he's move is just like chicarito..fast and aggresive

the formation i think just like against leverkusen yesterday

cech

ivan luiz terry a.cole

mikel meireles

lamps

anelka torres mata

subs:

torres--drogba

anelka-maluoda

mikel--ramires

I'm with you on this. Would be very pleased, and unsurprised, if that is the starting 11 + formation

cech

bos luiz terry cole

mikel

rambo lamps

anelka mata

torres

bosingwa gives us that extra bit of flair in attack so i will stick with him.

[The Rising Sun 696]

CECH

Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole

Mikel

Meireles Lampard?/(ramires)

Mata

Drogba Torres

Every player and team has moments when things fall into place. This is our moment.

If our midfield was still Lampard Malouda and co, then this would not be possible as torres would still be shit and they would never be able to play together.

Now with Mata and Meireles, our play is faster smoother and more penetrating.

So this is the moment that a partnership of EPIC proportions develops....both players settled....team style changed....confidence restored.... friendship's stronger....Torres and Drogba i am sure will be able to play together now and well....

iF CL and PL are even thinkable....this is the partnership to make it happen...

Im feeling good about this.

I hope AVB does have a thought regarding this idea and its well worth the try considering both players are hitting form, and with a different style of play.

And we're no longer world beaters. Don't be complacent.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Nando should play, and he should repay us for his sending off with more of his awesome new form

[Bacika 188]

If we can't beat valencia, then why do you expect us to win PL, or CL ..... lol...again they are just valencia, and we are the club, supposed to be one of the contenders to win PL and CL...

valencia is a good team coached by a very good manager....winning at the mestalla is gonna be hard, even barca couldnt. they play very good counter attacking footy. shouldnt be taking lightly

dude... lotr and chelsea... 2 of my favourite things.. wat do u ve to say about matrix and rafa...

[The Big Drog 1,110]

I think it will look like this.

Cech

Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole

Ramires, Romeu, Lampard

Anelka, Torres, Mata

Obviously the surprise inclusion in that would be Romeu in midfield but I think AVB might gamble on him, if not then Id say it will be Meireles in that hplding midfield role.

Except in Seville. They're alright

Is Romeu even included in our CL list of players?
