Essien: I see many have dropped Essien but I feel he is an essential player to the team who works tirelessly. Our win% is lower without him which shows the amount of work he puts in. It's true he's not the player he used to be (with his passing being sloppy as late) but I feel he performed well against City and our 2-1 win against United in the league.

Benayoun: Praying that he can inject some creativity into the team. Hopefully he'll play against Wigan with Torres.

Ramires: Get's in the box (the goal against city, the penalty we should have had on wednesday), works hard, quick, flashes of brilliance.

Anelka + Drogba: They have a good understanding in comparison to the other strikers. We've seen the other combinations of strikers (even Kalou+Torres) but, I feel these two have the understanding to beat a team like United. Anelka can be hit and miss but Torres is always miss since joining

Has to be a win, I predict 2-1 for Chelsea, would get us through with away goals. Come on

[BLionheart 516]

forget the whole season , for all i know we are much better than man utd and we are more than capable of winning this game ...

only one out of Drogba and torres should start , i would pick torres because while they both might have the same impact from the start but Drogba might have much more impact from the bench .

i hope :

............cech...............

iva..alex...terry...cole

.....ess....lamps.......

rami...............benayoun

.....kalou.....torres....

we must make better use of set-pieces , manure cab be exposed from corners and set-pieces and we have the likes of terry , iva and alex .

rami...............benayoun

.....kalou.....torres....

Couldn't agree more!

That would be the perfect team for this match, with Drogba coming up in the last 30 minutes, only if necessary.

Anyway, I am not so confident about this game. But there's always hope. Come on, Chelsea!

This is a no-go.

As Essien was rested, and Malouda scored, I'm thinking they'll both start against United

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Cech

Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - Cole

Ramires

Benayoun - Lampard

Drogba - Torres - Malouda

or - same players in the Bore-Bore-Two formation:

Cech

Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - Cole

Benayoun - Ramires - Lampard - Malouda

Drogba - Torres

However, it's likely Essien will start as he was rested yesterday.

Cech

Ivanovic-Alex-JT-A.Cole

Essien

Ramires-Lampard/Benayoun

Drogba-Torres/Kalou

Any win will do the job, except for 1-0 which would result in et. And that sounds promising to me.

I can honestly see it being 1-1 with some minutes left and then who knows. Any by the way, if we will have to play extra time, we should be attacking and going for a goal more than ever before, as penalties would most certainly mean a disaster

Win this and we're going to Wembley...

[Kojo 4,676]

I remember what Wilkins said on sky sports a few days ago after this match. That what's the point in these officials i have never seen one of these officials make a decision in my life, or change the referee's decision. Coudn't agree with him more, funny how that official just stared at Ramires getting tackled to the ground.

Or this, even better. Great combination between Yossi and Fernando. They'll do it again on Tuesday.

[Kojo 4,676]

That' was a play through by Benayoun too.
