Looks like we'll find out about the team news slightly later today, hopefully. His presser was live on Sky Sports News just awhile and no one asked him about that while it was on and now it's over, at least on SSN.

Because we will be parking the bus and his legs are gone for that.

That's strange logic? surely if we were parking the bus Lampard would be better suited to that, where could just sit in front of the back four, but the fact that we play counter attacking football and break at pace is the real reason why Lampard wont play.

Sometimes i do wonder if people actually watch our games!

Didier Drogba caught up with Chelsea TV ahead of facing Chelsea for the first time as an opponent this week...

Maybe because he doesn't tackle much and doesn't do anything to contribute defensively?

Not true. Statistically he puts in more tackles per game than Mikel, Cahill or Terry. In fact in the Champions League games, only 6 players make more tackles than him per game and only 5 players make more interceptions (he makes the same number per game as Ramires).

He's underrated as a defensive presence and he's always got a goal in him so I think he definitely could play alongside Ramires in a midfield two or alongside Mikel and Ramires (or even Luiz) in a midfield 3.

Have you seen Lampard play? yes he does tackle! if you think Lampard offers nothing defensively then i dont know what else to say to you!

More looking forward to and anxious about the Fulham game than this one to be completely honest.

Wouldn't be bothered if we came out with a draw. Only thing I care about this season is the Premier League.

Then we ought to play him tomorrow so that even if he gets a yellow he just misses a home leg in the last 16 (and not a match in the later stages)

only if we turn him around, so that when he makes his usual pass back, he actually makes a forward pass for once

Good luck to you chelsea in the hell of Galatasaray becuse you will need it too much
