Closed Fulham vs Chelsea

[Badboy 1,526]

I think that is a poor line up considering Tottenham have just lost 2-1. I would of played both Drogba and Torres together in a 4-4-2.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

Chelsea subs: Romeu, Mata, Drogba, Malouda, Bosingwa, Turnbull, Sturridge.

Mata rested - phew!

[Cripen 110]

Seems like no Drogba-Torres partnership and no Romeu... But good to see Terry and no Bosingwa! And I know it'll be a tough game, but thanks God - Mata's resting!

[Tomo 21,685]

Im just relieved Bosingwa is not playing. Disappointed that Romeu isn't playing but my sheer joy of Bosingwa not playing overrides that,.

[Jype 6,398]

Would have preferred that fake lineup. Romeu back in the side and Torres & Drogba together would have been much nicer than the confirmed lineup.

But hey, at least Bosingwa is back on the bench where he belongs.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

any line up with Bosingwa in it is not good, especially if Ivan is in the centre aswell.

Terry and Luiz are injured, RDM had no choice.

EDIT: Looks like Terry is playing through his injury.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

If this goes as I'm expecting I don't see matas rest lasting too long. Expect him on early second half

[Tomo 21,685]

I dont why we are hoping Drogba and Torres are suddenly going to play well together, they can't play with each other its that simple.

Why is Romeu still on the bench? The lad deserves to play!

Yep, my bad. I thought the "rumored" lineup was official.

This.

Its laughable that people want to play Torres out wide just in the hope of desperation that they can be on the pitch together.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Terry will probably have to retire in a couple of years time when his body breaks down due to playing through injuries. Injections and pills can only go so far.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Just hope Meireles will be in playing in the Mata role and not Lamps. He is too slow for that nowadays.
