Closed Chelsea v Stoke

is that the line-up? if it is thats the worst team weve put out all season. at least avb realised how bad kalou is

[Tomo 21,681]

Goalkeeper and defence look allright, dont like the look of the rest of the lineup tho.

[Wavy Crockett 190]

expect calls for a new caretaker if we lose this one

If Kalou's inclusion keeps Malouda far away from the team then im not bothered.

[zolayes 14,489]

Being rested for Naples I would guess.

will RDM still be here then?

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

From twitter it looks like 4-2-3-1

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Why isn't Mata playing?

[petr.breu 1,618]

I like the line-up, we need to be strong against Stoke...

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Hopefully he has the Napoli game in mind and the likes of Lampard are just used here to rest others for Tuesday.

I'm very interested in seeing the Terry-Cahil partnership at the back.

On the bright side, our bench is capable of making an impact on the game.

Much as I'm bewildered about not including Mata in the starting lineup, it does make sense! March is going to be a very difficult month for us considering what fixtures are coming up, and the overall form that we're in! Resting Luiz and Mata is a good move I think!

[petr.breu 1,618]

And it would be 4-2-3-1

Čech

Ivanović, Cahill, JT, Cole

Mikel, Meireles

Ramires, Lampard, Kalou

Drogba

[Sheva. 5,373]

Decent team.

[Tomo 21,681]

Meireles

defensive midfield

against Stoke

[ack17 205]

Hope Malouda been dropped rest of the season

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Stoke: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross ©, Huth, Wilson; Shotton, Whitehead, Diao, Walters; Jones, Fuller.

Substitutes: Sorensen, Pennant, Upson, Delap, Crouch, Jerome, Palacios.

[Tomo 21,681]

RDM lost 0-3 at home to Stoke for West Brom last season i think.

[Dylan_91 90]

id rather have malouda than kalou. cm of lampard, mikel and meireles is terrible
