+1.. although i hope i can continue support Torres.. but u got the point.. agree totally~

perhaps.. at least we got European Champion

yeah kinda realized as well, i was like..wow really? then i said to meself, torres shuda score instead. but hell prolly thats just what we saw from the camera, we dunno whats happen after that
nothing biggy actly but slightly frustrated lol

I guess who want celebrate how is their problem. Even the great Balotelli / Wayne Rooney run off alone and celebrate in front of crowd.

Btw, since this weekend no Luiz, if Iva something happen( hopefully no), then we have no central defender right? Alex not training with first team.

Guys....

Right now... i am very pleased with Oriol Romeu outstanding performance!!! AVB, please let OR guard our back 4 tonite.... He really can fit into that "makelele" role perfectly.....

chelsea for the win tonight. 2-0 victory for the blues is my prediction. drogba & mata on the scoresheet. KTBFFH...

Prediction:

Chelsea 2-0 Valencia (same as Fariddarif)

Score:
1. Lampard (Pen.) - 35mins
2. Torres - 82mins

KTBFFH...

Hope nothing happen in dressing room because how the team celebrate when TORRES score his first goal still deep in my mind, everyone rush to celebrate with him like we won UCL

Seem like a new striker and right back coming soon, coz i am not too sure whether IVA is happy playing at the right all the time. But touchwood is something happen, we got FERREIRA to makeshift (that time we will all be glad he is still around instead of selling him just because he is old), CAHLOBAH from reserve ? even DROGBA if we run out of subs. They all have done it before in the past to help the team in dire times, oh not forgotten the injured ESSIEN.

Adding on to the Kalou seeming to celebrate solo thing, i do think our team need to have more unity. We dont know how it is in the dressing rooms but they dont seems to have very strong bonds with one another besides during goal celebrations. Like before the kickoff of the Newcastle game, i saw the newcastle players circled around, and the captain was giving a motivation speech. in conclusion, If we want to play like Barca, we have act like Barca. just sayin

lol.. u like those African very much? racist ah? stop defending them blindly also. Kalou doesnt not play well with Torres is a fact, even malouda doesnt seem to help Torres much, but he is not African tho.

Training =/= real match, that why it is call training. i believe the so call 'African' will want to prove themselves worthy compare with Torres, sometime when you try so hard to prove yourself, you will be selfish, you wanted to get shot on goal, you wanted to out perform others, everyone is playing for their future, no one want to be outcast, it is understandable.

Clearly you cannot read, i am just stating the fact that they rarely play along TORRES that warrant they are not helping. The main player will be LAMP, MEIRELES, RAMIRES, STUR, MATA, MALOUDA and there are no african, so the accuse is uncall for, defend blindly ? If you want to blame those starting eleven for not supplying enuff for TORRES go ahead but i guess even a team with XAVI, FAB, INIESTA, SILVA, MATA are not supplying enuff also. For me clearly is down to TORRES to adept AVB plan.

To a manager training are equally important or even more than actual matches, in training is the only way manager can convey his message, tactics and formation. You work on a tactic for next match, so you pick the best eleven that work well with your tactics. On the match itself will be too late and there is nothing much a manager can do by shouting at the sideline. All the hard work you see on match day comes from training. With exception if the player is on form, like STUR banging goal which is a gamble every manager willing to take to put him on starting like up but clearly TORRES is not on that form.

anyone have confirmed line up? want to see if torres start

i think drogba will start. AVB will field same team against NUFC tonight. it's do or die anyway. can't see him rotate the squad for this one.

Chelsea will line-up in the following 4-3-3 formation:
1 Petr Cech
2 Branislav Ivanovic
4 David Luiz
26 John Terry ©
3 Ashley Cole
7 Ramires
6 Oriol Romeu
16 Raul Meireles
23 Daniel Sturridge
11 Didier Drogba
10 Juan Mata

Subs: 23 Ross Turnbull, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 12 John Mikel Obi, 8 Frank Lampard, 15 Florent Malouda, 21 Salomon Kalou, 9 Fernando Torres.

Any idea why Bosingwa is out?

Bosingwa injured. Didn't even train for this game.

thx

btw, any nice link?

very promising line up only one change from the lineup againts NUFC. c'mon Chelsea I predict another 3-0 win.

Good save from Cech, Valencia seems pretty deadly. We need the 2 goal cushion

RAMIRESSSSSSS. His tenacity really paid off there. GOOD ONE!

what a relief with that 2nd goal. Very good game so far
