Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Chelsea

[dodojojo 510]

Wonder if Torres and AVB have had a falling out.

If it's purely tactical then AVB is saying he can't find a way to play Torres at Chelsea.

[KamikazeBlue 337]

He s challenging torres!!. hope this will do good..

[Tomo 21,733]

Got to admit im not to keen on that lineup.

Lamps and JT should have been rested and Alex should have been in.

[Sheva. 5,373]

At least this time he will bring Torres on before the 81st minute

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Maybe he is doing the same thing with Torres as he did with Lampard, but I gotta admit Drogba's lost it (especially pace).

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

You can call me crazy but i think that terry need to stay on the bench for a while like Lampard in the begining of the season.

look on lamps now!!!

I'm struck by the flu so this will be the first time I'll get the chance to watch all 90 minutes of a Chelsea CL game in quite a while.

How many points do we need to make the first place of the group ours?

[Tortilla9 390]

Follow a few different forums and twitter - most seem surprised that DD is starting. Guess AVB wanted us all on our toes.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

again Drogba...

A win tonight would basically clinch first. We would have 11, Valencia would have 8 (assuming they beat Genk), Bayer would have 6

Had hoped Alex would get in.. and Torres of course, but let's see how Drogba performs before judging. And I bet AVB now seriously regrets leaving Bartron out of the squad.

And I also wonder if we'll play 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-3 with Meireles/Ramires being holding mids... It seems he'll opt for the way we played against livershit in 2nd half.

[Billy. 2,742]

gotta admit im shocked Torres aint playing

Dear AVB,

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STARTING DROGBA! HE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE TEAM ANYMORE, IS MORE THAN LIKELY GOING TO LEAVE, AND HAS NO FORM IN HIM AT ALL!

Yours Sincerely,

Every Chelsea Fan who understands that Drogba is a useless player nowadays.

[coolhead23 1,146]

Seriously AVB! :yellow_card:

Good to see Mikel sitting out but Drogba and Bosingwa as LB, not sure whats going in your head. Hope whatever it is, it helps us win so that we dont have to be on the gas.

omfg, second that motion!!! wtf?!?!?!?!?!?

[termninja 5,290]

Don't worry, Torres will get a chance in 85th minute if we are losing by then

Fucking hell AVB he should've started tonight !

[Kostas 1,468]

Maybe AVB would rather place his hopes on whatever link-up play Drogba is capable of rather than Torres' finishing .

[wisey11zola25 142]

is it definite that bosingwa is left back? think it could have been clever to play luiz as a wing back tonight, give him the freedom and see what he can do with it!
