KRC Genk 1-1 Chelsea

@chelseafc: Paraphrasing - Drogba didn't travel to Genk due to having screws removed from his arm (surgery after breaking his arm before last year's WC).

Luiz need to play....

If that's aimed at me, i said that we should bring him on later and balance with him and Terry, giving them 45 minutes each, because i want them to be the starters against Blackburn.

Drogba will not play; he just had screws removed from his arm. I assume they're from when he broke his arm vs. Japan.

edit: didn't see Tortilla's post.

Yesh, that sounds barbaric (though of course, it's not).

So Anelka or Torres for CF then?

Torres, even with Blackburn on Saturday.

Time for Torres to shine!

he better... AVB has to focus on trying to get the players to give the ball to Torres... in arsenal match I felt that the strikers were assigned the mid fielder's job and vice versa .

Torres has to be on the score sheet, where is the "kid" from Liverpool ?

Hmm, Chelsea website said he'd be back for the international break..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

At least we know Romeu will play!

Hope he gives AVB a case for starting some PL games.

The topic is up in the Prediction League!

Ashley Cole needs some rest. So far this season he has played 1125 minutes already. That's higher than anyone else in our squad. I think we can survive not playing Ashley against Genk.

Away or Third kit tonight? What do you guys want?

Romeu

Sturridge-Torres-Anelka

For the umpteenth time, Bertrand isn't included in the CL squad...

[The Big Drog 1,110]

I wonder if instead of Torres it will be Anelka through the middle with Sturridge and Malouda either side of him. Personally Id rather Torres starts with Sturridge and Anelka either side.

Doesn't matter, I love them both

Whoops. I knew that.

Ferreira at LB then, Bos at RB.
