Bolton 1-5 Chelsea

[robdog 2,084]

I honestly can't understand how people still expect to see Ivanovic start at RB, when AVB has shown no signs of playing him there and Paulo has been played/preferred at times as the second choice to Bosingwa. The hangover of the last two seasons should've have gone by now.

Its fairly obvious he favours his own countrymen -to be fair Boswinga produced a couple of good crosses recently. No honestly , he has. There was an exorcism at Cobham to get rid of the Gronkaer demon, which by all accounts he was possessed by, and it was successful.

To answer the question about why everyone prefers Bane over Bos, well he is a more defensive minded player. Bos likes to pretend he is a winger so we call him Bos - winger Ok, so much for the jokes, but I think we will see Bane this match over Bos, because Bane didn't play on Weds. This will open a spot for Alex. I know people want Side Show Bob, but Alex needs some run & AVB would like to put the extra beef in the back vs Bolton. Bolton will use battering ram tactics for a result.

Good luck to all you guys n gals going to Bolton...No matter wot team is played we will win 3-2....Sing loud !!!!!

I don't know why people still want Lampard starting, i think he still has to prove himself, i bet he will coem back on the team and under perform, he was good in the first 10 minutes of the second half, but besides that he wasn't brilliant againts Valencia in my opinion. I made him man of the match because of the goal tho, as i think he was tied with Cech and David Luiz.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Meireles should start in my opinion, I expect him to after only playing as a substitute on Wednesday.

Is Alex suspendend because of the red card in CC?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Is Alex suspendend because of the red card in CC?

Yes. He will miss the games against Bolton and Everton.

[DYC. 7,542]

Personally I'd love to see this:

Cech

Bosingwa - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand

Ramires - Meireles

Mata

Sturridge - Drogba - Nico/Flo

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I expect:

Cech

Bos-Iva-JT-Cole

Meireles

Rambo-Lampsy

Stur-Drogs-Mata

And if all went to plan, I expect Josh and Romelu to be involved at some point.

[Nic! 301]

Hope to see Lukaku get some minutes! It's know his chance to show himself with Torres being banned.

[True_Blue 469]

I expect us to take three points.

Team:

Cech

Ivanović-Luiz-Terry-Cole

MIkel

Ramires-Lampard

Sturridge-Drogba-Mata

Hopefully Lukaku will get some time since he is a monster.
