nah, I guess if a player still plays for us, we should back them no matter what.  Whether it's Kalou, Malouda, Torres, Ferreira or even Bosingwa.

Who knows, once injury strikes us, they could be our only option to rely on.

Still, I hope AVB don't clear out too many players in January, can ruin the flow of the team.

If want massive clear out, then summer is the best time.

Those who watched Valencia match, did valencia really keep the ball so much?, just saw the possession stat, Valencia's 69% to Chelsea's 31%

Now we must prepare for the most important part of the BPL season. 6 consecutive league games in 20 days. This is where we can make or break our title chances.

Spot on. January windows is always a risky time to overhaul a team. I will only allow Anelka and Alex to leave our team. Kalou, Malouda, Drogba, Bosingwa should be useful for the season. At least as reliable backup.

ours fans never forget what you contribute to Chelsea.

you think torres is the coach's choice?
its abramovich's. i wouldnt be surprised if he is being sold by next season or next year's january.

and just how many more season will he only be able to settle in?
admit it, he's just another flop just like sheva
even if he scores, i wont say "wow torres is finally showing his true form" and support him. he will never settle in and will not even be a consistent performer while he dons the blue shirt

sturridge is the man to lead the spearhead, and he did ask for a central role as i recall
after drogba gone, i reckon he will play in that position left by drogba, until we find a replacement that is dangerous enough

Torres will never be the Torres he was in the Red shirt. Blue just doesn't fit him. Seeing him play in the CC defeat, his face showed it all. He'd rather be anywhere than in Stamford Bridge.

wake up at 6am , n saw lots of comment in FB say both mancs are out of UCL .. wat a day to start today hahahaha ..

n all confident eropa league finale manu vs manc ..

AVB just copied Mourinho style of football yestde. Valencia had 68% of ball position and Chelsea just happy 2 sit back n counter attack. The likes Ashley Cole nvr bother 2 cross opposition centre line.

This is the very reason Abramovich sacked Mourinho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure AVB just used mind game on Valencia coach.

Before the game, he said he won't play counter attack, only focus on quality short passing possesion game.
Then when playing, Valencia must be expecting an offensive Chelsea instead of defensive one.
Btw, our round of 16 opponents :
Napoli, CSKA Moscow, Basel, Lyon, Marseille, Zenit St Petersburg, AC Milan.

Easiest would be Zenit or CSKA, but need to travel to Russia. Just hope we avoid Marseille or Napoli.
