Cech

Lampard - Essien - Luiz - Cole

Drogba

Mikel - Malouda

Ferreira - Kalou - Terry

memories of Ranieri ,,,,evryone took a turn at left back

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Good line-up, let's have it, 30mins to go

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Paulo Ferreira's 200th game today! Legend!

[BLionheart 516]

what the fuck is the point from playing this team , we have nothing to lose or to win . 99% we will be 2nd or 3rd by the end of the league . so just fuckin play torres and benayoun , let them gel with the team

i feel sorry for torres to be managed by that coward manager , i bet he is not playing torres because everyone has blamed him for starting him against man utd not because he thinks it's better for the future of the team .

can't wait till you get the boot , carlo .

Nico is warming up with the starting 11 not the subs

He started Torres against the tough teams and when that didn't work, he's dropped him. Whereas he should have been giving Torres time against the lesser side to help with his confidence. But that was two months ago and now with only 6 games left, and Chelsea with a tiny chance of catching ManU--Ancelotti is retreating to the tried and true. It's a screwed up situation but you can understand why Ancelotti is playing it safe now. Too bad his prior management contributed to the current situation.

Takes some balls not to play Abramovich's new pet.

There was no reason to change the starting line-up. Why change the team that played so attractive and well?

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Drogba's form lately has been close to his absolute best, however unless we really believe we can cause a huge upset and win the league, I just dont understand why Torres isn't playing, all its doing is building the media pressure on him, its fueling the theory that Ancelotti prefers Drogba over Torres and thats sure to kill whatever confidence Fernando has.

Anyway I never feel overly convinced when Paulo Ferreira is in the side, great servant but I just dont have the same confidence in him as I have in Ivanovic, hopefully we can scrape a win but it will be tough.

Finishing 2nd gets you a hell of a lot more money than finishing 3rd...We have everything to play for.

memories of Ranieri ,,,,evryone took a turn at left back

Stanic was my favourite left back and Le saux my favourite right midfielder under Ranieri.

[Term-X 7,891]

Watch Carlo only give Torres 10 minutes again...

Unbelievable.

[Milan 17,854]

Good, the winning team doesn't change. However, if Nando stars on the bench and is supposed to come in during the game, give him more than 10 minutes.

[spuz 143]

I thought Carlo said Torres would get more involvement from now on,not less?

The thing is, the 4-3-3 formation is the best formation for our team so there's only room for one striker. It's only logical you pick the in-form Drogba over the out of form Torres.

How much more $?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Torres isn't starting then....

... Carlo will bring him on in the last 15 minutes!
