Closed Birmingham v Chelsea

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Cue the onslaught...

[Wavy Crockett 190]

Čech ©; Ivanovič, Cahill, Luiz, Bertrand; Ramires, Mikel, Meireles; Kalou, Torres, Mata

Subs: Hilário, Terry, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Drogba, Lukaku

knew it was gonna be the lineup when I seen petr.breu had posted

wow I'm very pleasantly surpised, had the disappointment gif lined up and everything

would've preferred Lukaku to start but other than that, fair play Di Matteo!

[francozola 2,040]

With the exception of mikel, I like this team!

And about fucking time that Cole gets dropped

[Tortilla9 390]

Cue the onslaught...

I was thinking "get ready for all hell to break loose".

[Tortilla9 390]

Formation anybody?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Terry's back on the bench, already?

[francozola 2,040]

But now that I think about it, mikels style of play might help us today!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Formation anybody?

Seems like 4-2-3-1 to me. We'll see how the game progresses.

Would rather see Ramires Essien and Malouda/Lampard. Anything but Meireles tbh. Other than that, I really like it, if Lukaku gets at least 20 minutes.

[TomCFC 356]

A good side. Pretty much what I wanted.

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

Meh, unless the formation is good (overcrowd midfield), I'm not too excited. And why the hell is Mikel playing?

Time to get us a win, some lost pride and finally give the fans some pleasure!

[francozola 2,040]

Oh, is Cole injured? I thought he was dropped but someone said on twitter that he's injured.

Also do you guys think lamps, essien, Sturridge and Drogba were dropped or it's simply rotation?

[xPetrCechx 13,565]

Terry

[Laylabelle 9,422]

Uh oh Lampards been dropped...

Read the first line first and for a moment wondered why the hell we've put Hilaro in goal..not that he's realy bad just seemed a weird choice...then realised lol

[francozola 2,040]

Glad Kalou is playing. He's crap but can't do worse than some. Also happy to see Malouda dropped completely

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

Oh and Roman apparently told the players to buck up and finally play some goddamn football because he's "prepared to start from scratch" in the summer. O_O Nice one Roman.. although you could have said it BEFORE AVB was sacked?

[Tortilla9 390]

Its been so long since I last saw Kalou play for CFC. And Malouda not even on the bench. What's happened to Romeu?
