cavalho score the 1st goal for real madrid ^^

Miss the match entirely coz of visiting house for raya, glad we won 3 - 1 , not a clean sheet win but a win nonetheless. Good news all around i heard.

Carlo hails Essien factor
'better than a new signing'



SOS

I love Mikel's pass to Ferreira which lead Essien second goal
Parker goal is unstoppable, what a lob.

Next up! To the unknown lands of Slovakia. Not much is known about our new UCL opponent, MSK Zilina.

im suspecting big changes to the squad to rest key players for the premier league too. i think the likes of zhirkov and benayoun will play against zilina.

Not to underestimate teams all the more an away game. Chelsea should play with the regular 1st team then change when situation permits . Anchelotti knows best i guess, scouts would hv been deploy to gather info on zilina.

i predict starts from lamps n malouda..they were rested for the CL away game..

we cannot play with the strongest first team in all games. how are we going to cope with the premier league, fa and champions league at the same time.

yea i saw it...how come it happen? someone pull it off

Thats why i said anchelotti knows best, its his job to man manage chelsea.
I think whoever is rested last night might get a go in the champ league away fixture which cant be taken lightly whoever we are facing.
Anyway whoever chelsea put out will be the strongest bar none as our squad depth is as we know is better then some if not every team out there.

expecting heavy squad rotation in the league cup game against newcastle.

Normally league cup we will field our reserve players.

Expect Turnbull, Van Aanholt, Josh, Kakuta, Sturridge, Borini, Bruma to play.

well the most positive outcome from the west ham match was undoubtedly GAEL KAKUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! woot woot. a lot of respect for carlo who kept to his word and fielded gael, even under difficult circumstances. at 2-0 and west ham showing signs of a possible comeback, it would've been easy for carlo to just delay kakuta's 'debut' this season and opt for a senior sub to keep the game within our control.

but he didn't and gael rewarded the gaffer's faith in him with a very mature 15 minute display (he didn't giveaway possession even once, mind you) and two superb through passes for didier which he failed to finish; one a slide-rule grounder and the other was a lovely measured pass that sailed through the air (albeit didier was in an offside position when he received it but wasn't flagged up). did anyone else notice gael looked slightly more lean than usual? it could be more gym work. all in all it must've been an enjoyable evening for the lad.

on to our new signing ramires, he looked very tentative at first and struggled to adapt to the pace of the epl. but as each half slowly wore on, u could see he gradually gained confidence and displayed some surprising bursts of pace to go pass players, and a good amount of aggression when it was needed. after he got used to our tempo, he kept possession with ease and did look like a essien/makelele hybrid at times. i sense he'll be a key player for us, this boy ramires! speaking of essien, the bison wore some springs in his heels and was determined to outjump everyone in west ham's penalty box. a bit shot shy which was uncharacteristic, but his headers were first class. particularly enjoyed the second one which left ben haim flat on his arse looking dumbfounded credit to paulo for the lovely cross too!

my only gripe is on didier, who looked a bit disinterested in the game and was careless in his passing. attempted some things at the wrong time and was rightly bellowed at by carlo on one occasion. i guess u could spin it a little and say he picked the perfect time to have a poor showing. time to focus on zilina drogs!

i feel so left out. bloody astro keeps changing the times of the repeat. there was suppose to be a game at 8am this morning and there wasnt. im getting really pissed off

i cant comment on the game yet!
