How about Steven Pienaar?

the midfielder already pack...if we ship out some1...i still want a new young midfielder...Kroos maybe..

Dani Alves and Bastian Schweinsteiger rumors with Chelsea..

PRE-MATCH BRIEFING: BLACKBURN ROVERS V CHELSEA..i hope we can grab 3 points..0-1 is good enough for me

i dont think its worth it getting dani alves. 30m is way too expensive for a RB and we've just got Jose back. I think Jose is definitely not far behind alves if not as good.

if schweiny is a free agent, i'd gladly take him in

Wooots!
I like Bastian a lot.
But is there any place for him to play?

Hopefully Bosingwa will get his 1st full 90 mins against Blackburn..and hopefully, Lampard is ready to play..we need him for Liverpool clash..n hopefully, Drogba will be on the scoresheet..finally, hopefully another cleansheet..0-1 also will do for me..

i think the rovers managed a draw against us last season? i forgot if it was home or away. with a week's time to prepare, the lads should have to excuse in bringing home 3 points.

WHEN WILL FRANK LAMPARD BE BACK ?! ITS BEEN SOOOOO LONG.

i miss his chips and through balls for Drogba

we all miss lampard's creativity in midfield area. no doubt about that...

As long as he from Germany he will always welcome by me to the SB...hahahahha
Kroos..Bastian...Die Mannschaft...!

GUUS WHO'S BACK...

Tell us about this visit...
I am on a scouting trip, it means I am watching some young Turkish players who are playing in several clubs in their reserve teams or first teams.
We want to qualify for Euro 2012, but at the same time we like to see and renew the squad from the selection. We will see what potential candidates there might be.

ALEX BACK FOR BLACKBURN

Ramires and Frank Lampard remain sidelined for this weekend's fixture, but Alex returns to the line-up after a four-week layoff.

The defender has not played since smashing in the second goal against Arsenal on October 3, but will partner John Terry in the centre of defence against Blackburn on Saturday afternoon.

Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful that Ramires will be fit in time to face Spartak Moscow in midweek, while Lampard is pencilled in for a return at Anfield a week on Sunday.

'He's not available and he will start to train at the beginning of next week,' said the Italian when asked about his vice-captain. 'Obviously he'll not be involved in the game in the Champions League, but maybe, I hope, he'll be involved in the next game in the Premier League.

'The other players, just Ramires is not available to play tomorrow but will be ready in the Champions League, Alex is fine and the other players are in good condition. We trained well and had a good week to prepare the team for the game.'

We have not scored in either of our last two league away games, and Ancelotti is hoping we return to form on the road at Ewood Park, urging his side to play for the full 90 minutes rather than in fits and bursts.

'We are five points clear, we started well in this part of the season, and I think we can play better, because we played very well some parts of some games but not continuously, we didn't play 90 minutes how we want and it's the time to improve our play and play with more intensity on the game,' he outlined.

'Tomorrow will be a good test for this reason because we have to play a physical game, we have to play with intensity because it won't be easy to play against Blackburn away but we want to do better compared to last season.'

That was a 1-1 draw in late March that threw our title ambitions into doubt, before we bounced back with a string of impressive victories and attacking football, just what the manager wants to see now.

'In the last two games away we didn't score against Man City and Aston Villa. We had a good away game in the Champions League against Spartak Moscow, it's strange not to score in two games consecutively away. We had a fantastic performance against Wigan when we won 6-0, but we have to do better away.

'Our philosophy is to play the best football we can, so when we don't play well I think it's not a criticism to say this. It is objective, and we want to play at our best in every game.

'I think now we are five points clear, and it's important to maintain this gap. Man City, Man United and Arsenal are interested in our results and they would like that we lose some points against Blackburn.

'This is normal and I think for this reason it's an important game, if we are able to win this game we can improve our confidence and give disappointment to the other teams.'


Good news for our back, but in midfield.... Yuri's chance??

Obviously..thats why a 0-1 win is good enough for me..

One tabloid said Lampard not ready but Alex will start, but another less reliable source said Lampard set to take part at Ewood Park

Believe in official website.
WE NEED LAMPARD IN ANFIELD.

Competition in our defense is too strong. Cant wait to see who will be our first choice CB and RB. Iva has been doing well in CB and RB. Bos is back. Alex is good as well..

Arghh.. headache.

we must improve our game-play against Blackburn....i cant afford to watch another poor performance from the lads.....

This is usually where Carlo will use his power to rotate every players accordingly. remember, we are still on 3 major competition.

infact, there's always hard to break in to the first team when you're in a team like Chelsea. the competition is very very high.

Ewood Park isnt a great place to visit, i'd rather start Alex and Bos and saving up Iva for Pool match



he's better than good, he's a f**king liability and he goes by the name Ivanovic! Spartak clash in the middle of the week is quite tricky youngsters anyone?

Bro relax! Can't afford to watch another poor performance? Don't know about you but I think that's a bit too strong a word to use? We are not exactly in the slumps anyway. I'm pretty cool about this season. Just enjoy while it lasts lar.
