Flomo new hairstyle not bad, hopes it brings fresh luck.

Essein starting, so means sure is Ramires-Essein-Lampard.

No chance to see Josh again

cheers for the frustration mate!

Ramires-Essien-Lampard.

I was hoping Josh to replace Lampard or Essien.
Wow, Malouda new hair cut make him looks like Gyan

Hiddink Reunion IF Carlo fail to land UCL trophy

i agree with ericling, the midfield needs a change and josh should definitely fill in for either Lampsy or Ess. both seniors have been inconsistent with their performance. they are just not up to par. Josh's enthusiasm might push himself to play harder and better.

hopefully Torres will open his account.

Hmm mixed feelings about this one. i hope carlo brings off either one of essien or lamps at half time if they look lethargic and Copenhagen park the bus. Its obvious josh’s level of creativity is better than two put together, but I’m guessing torres will help with our conversion rate that was lacking in the last match. Have a good feeling he’s going to get his first goal in blue! Leaning slightly towards a kalou/torres combo, but didier showed a bit of his old self vs everton and warrants a start.

i would say start with Josh right away to make a point to Essien and Lampard. so far, all the minutes that Josh has played, he has never disappoint. like Ramires, he only gets better. so why not start the young lad? to be honest, we've got nothing to lose, and i personally think that he is good enough. if arsenal can play wilshere, we can play mceachran.

i really admire david villa. i look at his workrate and its amazing, plus he is not young, yet he chases down defenders and pressure them to pass the ball fast. he makes good runs, he assist and he scores. all those qualities but being the center forward in barcelona.

i rarely see such qualities in a center forward. yes, didi scores goals and has one of the highest assist last season but sometimes you can see the laziness in him getting back onside and if he is deep, you dont see him making runs into the box. the same goes for Torres. he does look pretty lazy sometimes, and his dribbling is also out of sorts.

-----------------cech---------------
bosinwa--ivanovic--terry--ashley
-------ramires-------essien--------
---------------lampard-------------
--------drogba-torres-malouda---

reunion for gronkjaer, lampsy, n terry? only terry n lampsy; gronkjaer former teammate right?

Looks like we're having some pressure there.

I just love formation talk, let's start with my preferred formation for tonight game.
-----------------cech---------------
bosinwa--ivanovic--terry--ashley
-------ramires-------Josh--------
---------------lampard-------------
-Anelka---------------------------Malouda
-----------------torres----------------

Kalou and Malouda are given the job of running out wide, providing some width play. Of course, our full back, bosingwa and ashley provide some width from back too.
Kalou to make an impact as a super sub for Malouda or Anelka.
Josh is unlikely to start, but Essien to replace the place.
I don't start Drogba since we need some wing play from our team, I just can't fit him in right now.

It really sounds that I am crying some width our team, but yeah, we need them badly.

but kalou for me is good as impact player onli ... a super sub ...

Oh my, I forgot our Anelka.
Anelka to start first, Kalou to make an impact for malouda or anelka.

Where is Drog, where is Luiz? subs maybe?

Luiz is unavailable for UCL isn't it?

This is one gila statement =.='''


Anywayssssssssssssssssssssss, I can't watch tonight's game, due to work. Therefore, can someone please please please provide match highlights, pretty please.

I really suck at finding those downloadable ones, I went to matchhighlight.com something like that, but couldn't find the match I wanted so I gave up.

Waiting to leech URL , mwah love you guys!

i think carlo shud give zhirkov to start at left flank instead of malouda!

Gronkjaer Gronkjaer!

Jesper Gronkjaer and the £1 billion goal that changed Chelsea's history?

hes ineligible for UCL this season .. but torres .......... he'll score tonite .. trust me ..

josh getting in ahead of lampard or essien would send a strong message to them, that's for sure. but above all, i think your suggestion makes a lot of sense especially with regards to lampsy, who played the full 120 mins vs everton! i'm not convinced he can fully recover so soon for a do or die game vs copenhagen, hence josh getting the nod would be a good choice if only for one half. but as we all know carlo rarely does this, and he only dared to bench didier vs spurs, after the striker went though a horrendous period of form.

i would say villa's movement off the ball is one of the best around, and he's a different beast compared to didier. a fully fit torres could rival that, though it remains to be seen as our big signing is still burdened with his price tag. its worth mentioning that not too long ago when we drew valencia in our champions league group and villa was still their man, we managed to shut him out for both legs, except for a mistake by riccy i think, which presented him with a one v one that he finished. apart from that, he was pretty anonymous. so he still needs a strong 'supporting cast' who can pick out those deadly runs, just like torres needs service from our midfield now.

anyway, here are some vids to cheer everyone up a little. it also justifies all the calls for josh to be given a start.he's superb in both these games. oh and it also shows why we should try and convince borini to stay...a hattrick in his comeback game! there aren't many with such natural finishing instincts at this young age.

in Torres we trust .
