RDM must go balls to the wall and make changes within the team and lets see what the youngsters can do. If they don't perform in a couple of games because you cant judge over one game then he knows that our youngsters are just not ready. It will also show the fans he is capable of change and that the youth route was explored and not a option at that point..

Hoping for a win tonight. FA cup title would mask this ugly season. Good luck Rob!

your correct it would mask an ugly season but bar that I hope we win it cause I fucking love the FA Cup. It's a super cup to win and I love it when we have.

Just really hoping for some Lukaku time. It's been due. He looked so sharp when he played for Belgium. Night & day compared to his debut against Norwich.

Evidence that not playing games but training at the top still can make a player better. Not forever though, I think he gained a lot til now. So he shouldn't be too dissapointed about his transfer. Ofcourse he could've gained more if he actually played some games, but that's life I guess.

But seriously this is the cup we should be looking to win with only spuds and Liverpool left its somthing we could win. i cant see us getting to the next round of the CL im afraid , if we did we would be stuffed next round anyway.

FA Cup all the way this season and pray for 4th....

Yes I agree and he looks like he has lost weight and he is a bit more agile. He held the ball up well for Belgium and he was making runs, I would rather see him start tonight !

Prediction

With Birmingham missing 8 players, 3 of their 4 starting defenders and with our new manager RDM in his first game I think, well I know we'll see a different Chelsea than what we've seen, it will almost feel like a fresh beginning as if it was the start of the season and I can see us winning this pretty comfortably.

Chelsea 3-0

[Milan 17,862]

I have a strong belief we will completely outplay Birmingham and show SOME team spirit.

Well were going to play a championship team and not a team like Barcelona.We must outplay them.

Just like teams like WBA or Swansea right? I'm just expecting some improvement.

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

My Prediction:

It will look nervy in the first 10 minutes, but RDM will overcrowd the midfield with Chelsea players and eventually we'll take control. Prepare for a great match and a few goals. We'll outplay them but not before a nervy last 10 minutes where Birmingham feel as if they could get one final goal back but we end up seeing it through.

A Chelsea FC great 3-0 win and a big slap for the media!!

A Chelsea FC great 3-0 win and a big slap for the media!!

3-0 win will be only a slap for ourselfs and it's just confirm media theory that players are to blame for sacking AVB.

[Madmax 9,219]

Gonna miss seeing AVB in the dugout/on the touchline.

Anywho, come on Chels!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I found myself singing 'One Di Matteo, there's only one Di Matteo!' in my mind today.

Wish him the best, hope he makes an instant impact tonight

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Do we have that drive of fighting on?? Idk. Don't know what to expect tbh, if we win say 3-1 I will hate avb for not adapting (even though I really like him) and love him for showing it clearly 100% that these players gota go, no doubt about it. Malouda kalou perriera bosingwa drogs lamps and mikel. End of. It's shown that these players are our 'board members' and running the show to all those non believers of this.

Hopin we can actually lose rest of season maybe just scrape 4th cuz if we finish 3rd and FA CUP AND maybe just maybe semis in UCL then abramovich will be hesitant and back to square one.
