Closed Napoli v Chelsea

[Wavy Crockett 190]

AVB must love to be criticised or something..

Bosingwa at left back again?! when we have a perfectly good LB in Bertrand

and I would rather see Kalou on the left wing as well..

[Santiago. 1,500]

As of now, we have to get behind his decisions and he has a reason for choosing the squad, we need to believe

[TomCFC 356]

Keep positive. Come on Chels!

[YuriZhirkov 106]

Omg... what a fucking joke..

So does that mean it's a 4-2-3-1 with Mata behind Drogba and Malouda & Sturridge out wide?

kinda yeah, though i think that will be a little too offensive, as we know Ramires also likes to run forward. This would make more sense with Essien being the man in front of the defense, not Meireles.

Also it can be Malouda in the midle and Mata as a winger.

I really hope that AVB doesn't go down in flames and proves us all wrong.

Midfield full of runners = We're gonna sit back and counter-attack.

Thank you! I knew there was something to this midfield that was telling me this could work. Neither Lamps nor Essien are anywhere near mobile enough to deal with what Europe needs.

There's an interview with Ivanovic now being broadcasted...

sit back and destroy their 3 man defence on the break? im scared lol

[francozola 2,040]

Last post before I log out lol. I don't think Lamps' exclusion is that big a deal. He's been crap as of late and IF he does have a problem with the manager then he doesn't deserve to play anyway. I know Meireles is rubbish too but what I mean is I can't see Frank making much difference to that side.

Come on Chels!

A mid full of runners is not a good way to be good in counter attacks. With Mourinho we used to be really good in counter attacks, and it was Lampard, Makelelé and Thiago/Smertin.

[petr.breu 1,618]

Stop blaming AVB, he certainly has his reasons why he chose this lineup... We beat them!!!

[Santiago. 1,500]

The basic tactic for us is the counter attack, Romeu should really be included to keep stability in the defense,

really good quality stream for the match

I don't remember Bosingwa at LB being a problem when tried.

[zolayes 14,489]

Disappointed with Essien's exclusion and Malouda's inclusion. The rest of the changes... meh.

Turning the internet off now. This forum is trying to convince me that we've already lost 5-0!

good idea ,,and there is still at least 180 minutes to play...seems Jamie Redknapp is sticking the knife in ,,,he is becoming a real tosser lately.

[Las7 951]

Malouda is in the starting 11 I do not know what to say

[francozola 2,040]

possibly a reflection of what's going on behind the scenes with AVB and Frank? Frank unhappy -> Jamie venting Frank's frustration
