Spartak vs Chelsea

[EskWeston 696]

I have always rated jacob mellis i think he is terrific at arriving late in the box, plus he has a brilliant burst of speed for a midfielder. Josh is clearly the better talent though and i hope he starts, i would not be bothered if we lost this game to be fair, as long as we don't get injuries !

As seems to happen to often with us, Jacob's form faltered once he went on loan. His form has been OK for the reserves but not as good as it was. Still a good player but needs a decent loan or a spell in the first team to bring him up to scratch,

Do you still have high hopes for borini or do you think it will be difficult for him now. I really like borini i think he is a good good forward.

Fergie played a blinder with that interview, i thought old red nose was going to say rooney is fine and its all media rubbish !

[EskWeston 696]

Strong starting line up and a very young bench indeed. Good to see both to be honest and i am sure we have more than enough there to win the game...

[Kostas 1,468]

To be honest I'm more confident about the game now.This looks like the youngest bench we've ever had,at this rate I can see even Chalobah playing :champions:
