[nyikolajevics 2,484]

Finally, Sturridge in the starting eleven as a striker! I have been praying for this for months.

[Severinb 309]

Wanted azpi to get a start but good lineup!

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Hazard, Mata, Moses, Sturridge --- laaawwwwlll BEAST COUNTER ATTACK!

[Leif 6,006]

This will be absolutely hugeee for Sturridge.

EDIT: Or not.

I liked the first lineup way better...fuck sake. Bye Sturridge.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Forget this lol.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Hold on, the Chelsea twitter account posted a different line-up

[Leif 6,006]

OK. Don't like the real line-up.

Wanted to see Cahill partner Terry.

[Las7 951]

Nevermind

[couris 232]

4-3-3?

Mikel

Ramires-Lampard

Oscar---------Mata

Torres

[Sheva. 5,373]

Back to our defensive lineup already.

[edetarod 2,155]

Lampard in the middle and Ramires on the right...oh God why?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Chelsea subs vs. Shakhtar: Turnbull, Cahill, Bertrand, Azpilicueta, Romeu, Hazard, Sturridge.

Well apparently Sturridge's chance at CF lasted about 1 min and turned out to be just a rumor

[Stingray 9,441]

Starting XI: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Hazard, Mata, Moses; Sturridge.

That would be good. But Shahktar should NOT be underestimated... So happy at least 2 of the maestros are on the pitch and we have a non-Torres striker starting once ! Love it :-)

:ph34r:

[didierforever 7,349]

damn it. y defensive??? hopefully we are playing 4-3-3 so as not to see rambo on the wings when he has been so good thru the center. we are playing it real safe.
