He kept Downing and Bellamy quiet.

Except he got caught on the ball by Downing and let him have his first assist in about 3000 minutes of football

Mikel and Meireles are both out for this and so are Cahill & Luiz still.

That tackle counted as an assist?!

[capriccioso 2,545]

It may have done?

I would rather rest Mata than Lampard because he hasn't been as rested as the others.

The 2nd leg of the FA Youth Cup Final is just 24 hours after this game, no way the younger lads will be playing in this one. Regarding Hutchinson, doubt he will be starting this match. No news whatsoever on whether he has fully overcome his injury problems yet.

[vergil_sparda 26]

We should try out a new right back in preparation for the CL final

hutchinson maybe a long shot bt Essien, Fereira or Romeu may do a better job than bosingwa in handling ribery

NO one cld handle riberry..forget it

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Cole and Bertand could contain him to an extent

Chelsea will take a team without goalkeeper Petr Cech to play Liverpool in their penultimate Premier League fixture of the season after interim manager Roberto Di Matteo decided to rest the Czech Republic international, the Daily Mail has reported.

Good move IMO, Keepers get overlooked when it comes to rests.

[DavidEU 2,023]

People need to stop mentioning Piazon. Youth cup final tomorrow night.

[diskoviolente 425]

Torres at Anfield for the first time. He´ll enjoy that.

He couldn´t have had a worse start to his Chelsea carreer, playing against Liverpool after his transfer. Really, the worst start.

Anyway, he should bury a hattrick in front of the Kop, sticking up one finger (not the rude one) to show the amount of trophies he´s won with Chelsea already.

Its overlooked at chelsea because our backup keepers are terrible.

[Lampy 110]

When considering the price of a player, you have to consider marketing value as well. Hazard will probably be a free transfer - he will pay whatever his transfer fee back in t-shirt sales almost instantly. Can't say the same for Belhanda. SO money should not be an issue when comparing these two

I think its a dumb move to rest players. If we win our last 2 games and tottenham or newcastle lose their we will take the 4th place. Plus theres almost 2 weeks untill the final.

This is chelsea's 20th match in 9 weeks since RDM took over, those players are human after all!
