Really? The office is closing early tomorrow and I was planning to go to a bar to catch the game live. So I shouldn't bother?

You could still go, have a beer and warm up for the Chelsea masterpiece. It'll be on Fox in the US at 4pm ET.

"Anelka is not in the squad for the CL... but this is not beleived to be connected to his departure. Chelsea manager AVB said: "He's not injured. His ability is tremendous, but we've decided to do something differently for this game." That might include giving a rare opportunity to Salomon Kalou. (those are Burt's words about Kalou)

The different thing probably being that he's leaving a player of tremendous ability at home... wouldn't get too excited

AVB's promising something different so I fully expect to see Ramires in goal and Hilario on the left wing.

Can't perform worse than the 11 that were out against Liverpool, can they?

Something different? Give josh some game time? What am I thinking , that's madness

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Funny how people are turning on AVB after the players have let him down, a very similar story to King Carlo it would appear.

not to be seen to be in the avb haters squad because I'm not but I think that criticism of avb is understandable, especially when it comes to team selection/substitutes from time to time. We should be careful when sticking by our manager to remember that although he is taking imo an unfair amount of criticism he has still made errors, the most glaring of which was not having an overhaul in the summer imo. To say the players have let avb down is fair enough but it can't be used as the only reason why we have under performed so far. Again this is not an anti avb rant, simply a realisation that there are problems on the coaching and playing side. I believe avb will turn us around. KTBFFH

Every manager makes mistakes, but it is how he learns from them that matters, lets see what AVB does tonight..

Sorry mate, Ferreira was left home.

[Munky 29]

If someone scores against us tonight it should be Ballack, legend!

[Dylan_91 90]

Think luiz should play left back as cole needs a rest and hes played there before a few times. Hope we do play 4-2-3-1 and he gives mceachran a game playing just behind torres
