Closed Southampton v Chelsea

[bushman 2,043]

How do you folks know BA is playing today ?

Your wishful thinking ?

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Who captains the side if Lamps doesn't start? Cole?

Ivanovic.He wore the armband after Lampard got subbed off.

But Cole wasn't on the field then.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

As much as I'd like to, I don't think Ba will start today. Probably hasn't trained enough with us. Maybe he will start Wednesday.

Difficult game today. Could see it going to a reply.

[MADEZ 9]

i think rafa won't rush into things by starting ba as ancelotti did to torres,he will be a sub

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

But Cole wasn't on the field then.

It'll be Ivanovic

[Corner 456]

It'll be Ivanovic

Yes but Cech won't be playing.

I'm pretty sure Cole is after Cech, then Ivanovic.

I don't think Ba will start but hope to play about 30+ minutes.I don't think Southampton to play defensive like QPR so we will have more chances to score and probably will score more goals than them.But they are dangerous in front.And with our reserve gk our defence must work hard and careful,not making silly mistakes.
Good luck to the boys and hope to make good match.

BA has to start he cant play against swansea in the Capital one cup!

Nope.

He (Demba Ba) will be eligible for selection for tomorrow's FA Cup match at Southampton, and the Capital One Cup semi-final against Swansea, but cannot play for us in the Europa League this season having appeared in the competition for Newcastle.

Cool and thx mate!

He should start both games and let torres play against stoke with ba coming on as a sub!

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Lampard should get a breather for this game. Would like to see Oscar in the pivot instead today. We should be rotating the squad these next two Cup games give players a bit of a rest for the league, but not all at once!!

[Hutcho 8,443]

Really hope Demba ba starts. I kept waking up having dreamt I had missed it. And realised that it was only half 7 lol. Unlike a lot of premier league games I am a lot more interested in the performance than just getting the win.

[Hutcho 8,443]

My team would be:

Turnbull

Azpi Ivanovic cahill cole

Luiz oscar

Moses mata hazard

Ba

Now if that was the team It would be fascinating to see.

[Hutcho 8,443]

And ok will do.

EDIT: I have no idea why i wrote that...

I think Ba should be starting probably today and then against Stoke for sure. He has the physical play that is quite useful against those thugs. Torres would just get pushed out wide.
