Chelsea 1-1 Everton

[middleoftheshed 388]

I take it Luiz can't play because he wasn't part of the team when we first played them at Goodison park?

Yes.

Our January new boys, Fernando Torres and David Luiz have a weekend off. Torres is cup-tied, having played in Liverpool's 0-1 defeat by Manchester United, but available in the Champions League — a competition the Scousers did not qualify for. David Luíz, arriving from Benfica, is also not available having been signed after the original tie.

If we get through he can play vs Reading.

Ah I see... was very confused then

Luiz CAN and WILL play.

He will start.

[HRiver 1,512]

Some say he can play, some say he can't. I'm confused now.

Do you always start spanking the monkey when confused.

He will play,and he'll play a blinder too.

[Kostas 1,468]

According to the write-up on the official Chelsea site he's ineligible while ChelseaTV's official twitter says he starts. Looks like they know as much as we do.

Epic smiley fail!

I was supposed to click this one (), but oh well

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is cup-tied while fellow new signing David Luiz is also ineligible for the FA Cup fourth-round replay on Saturday.

He won't play the replay against Everton because of FA rules (he wasn't on the squad on the first game) and thus he can only play in FA Cup if we get though and face Reading at home.

[Jose M 140]

Josh MUST start! Pleeease CARLO!

[DavidEU 2,023]

Luiz CAN and WILL play.

He will start.

Epic fail. As is your signature.

As for people wanting Bertrand to start, don't be ridiculous.

Nope. ESPN.SHIT

[Drogba11CFC 108]

ESPN.

My Lineup:

Cech

Ferreira Ivanovic Terry Cole

Ramires Essien Lampard Malouda

Anelka Drogba

If 4-3-3 is played, then Malouda should move back when Everton attack and switch to 4-4-2.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Defence is moreorless nailed on to be Ferreira - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole, since there is no Bosingwa and Luiz is ineligible. I hope to see a Lampard-McEachran-Mikel midfield (giving Essien and Ramires a rest before Tuesday), but this is largely wishful thinking.

so many people are saying Luiz cant play WHEN HE CAN

so many people are saying Luiz cant play WHEN HE CAN

Even though Chelsea said he can't?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Okay, allow me to clear things up.

Prior to each round of FA Cup matches, teams must register their squad for selection. This prevents ineligible loan players, for instance, from playing in matches. The registered list of players can only be changed to accommodate emergency loan players - meaning that Luiz cannot play until the fifth round game, for which he can be registered.
