Closed Chelsea v West Ham

[Flemishblue 61]

I'm travelling for the first time to the Bridge to see a Chelsea game : )

I'm hoping for a great atmosphere, a stunning performance of Hazard and three points : )

Wich pub can you guys recommend for the pre-match atmosphere?

See you guys on sunday! : )

Sky Sports have just reported that Joe Cole, Kevin Nolan and Noble will not feature against #CFC this weekend

Blimey. if you asked me to name three players I'd like to see miss out, it would probably be them.

[Special Juan 28,133]

1-0 win for us, Torres scissor kick from the half way line.

i hope a great performance with one goal by torres lol

[Drogzola 283]

I know this might not go down well with a lot of you and I am no Torres Fan boy or anything but would it hurt to try start him Sunday? It might get a little confidence back starting him after his slightly more spirited performance yesterday. If he isn't working out substitute him early and pack him away in the closet forever.

We need a win. Play the best team. Get some points hope the rest drop points... Easy... Hopefully

Torres and Lampard will score against us. Think it was Torres' first goal for Chelsea was against us, in torrential rain if i recall correctly. Plus Lampard will no doubt get number 200 against us, it's written in the stars unfortunately. We may be stubbon at the back, but with Nolan, Cole and Noble out, I don't think we'll have much going forward.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Right. Back to league action where we really need the 3 points!

Expecting at least 2 changes for this game with Lampard and Ba coming in. Might see Moses too.

Could be a good game to start Iva and rest Azpi who could suffer against West Ham's physicality.

Indeed, Lamps couldn't have asked for a better opportunity and opponent He's going to silent the Hammers' boos in some style.

Just please don't start with Ramires/Lamps in the pivot. Play our safest central midfield of Ramires/Mikel in a match of super importance like this one.

Ramires is MUCH better when Mikel is there to cover.

Think we'll win this one 3-1. Won't be shocked if Torres starts, either.

[Yeboii 1,844]

mata off the bench has never worked for us. we lose matches and drop points (as a certainity) when he does not start. plus spain hardly play, so mata will end up getting a 2 week rest, hopefully. so i ll go with mata over moses.

Mata plus two weeks rest equals AWESOMENESS!

That is one thing but Ivanovic's passive defending worries me a lot!

[Deanocfc 22]

This is such a must win game as everyone is saying. But last time Ba played against his former club it didn't go too well for him or Chelsea! Torres showed some fight in the last 20 minutes last night, maybe it's worth keeping this momentum and starting him over Ba. I think consistency and momentum is lacking from Chelsea at the moment.

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Cole

Ramires Mikel

Mata Oscar Eden

Torres

Either Hazard or Oscar should get a rest, if not both. I hope both will not feature that much in that unnecessity called international football.

Cech

Iva-Cahill-JT-Bert

----Mikel-Lamps--

Moses-Mata--Marin

----------Ba----------

Bring on Hazard or Oscar when needed has always worked.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Anything less than 3 points is unacceptable
