Smart finish by Nando..reminiscent of former himself..now i wonder, who will get a nod against Benfica..surely Drogba will be the one fresher but Nando surely put some performance lately doesn't he?

'David Luiz has a problem with his ankle ligament so we need to assess him over the next couple of days,' he admitted.

'We also need to assess Didier Drogba over the next 48 hours after he picked up a knock on his foot and couldn't make today.' -cfc.com-

no wonder hes not even on bench today .. hope he can recover n play on wednesday ..

torres will score more...fingers cross

just wanna share, if u r in melaka, come join us .. today almost 40 fans gather at dawood melaka.



KTBFFH !

huhu, Chelsea form is coming back.
hope Torres true potential is back to the game.

A true striker style of strike indeed. Great to see him not taking not more than 1 touch before shooting the ball. One touch, one strike. BACK OF THE NET! Nando
RDM played Torres in Benfica first leg for reason, I actually think that RDM plan is to play Drogba against Aston Villa, and Torres on both Benfica legs.
But since Drogba is injured, Torres played and performed wonderfully well against Aston Villa.
In the first leg, Torres kept running in wide channels causing lot of problems to Benfica wing backs. Best example, look at our only goal. That goal comes from Nando pace on the flank. It creates space for the other players too. You can see Kalou or Ramires both have spaces when Torres is stretching the defense.
RDM explained, his team selection is according to opponent weaknesses. Torres are the man who can exploit Benfica weaknesses.
So many years of EPL experience, no, 3 match in a row, fatigue shouldn't be a problem to Nando since he already rested for quite some time.

The players played well. We could have been more alert when Villa scored the two goals. It tooks some guts for Torres to go for that finish considering his goal-scoring form, but he had it in him. He wants to score, but he wants to win even more.

any link for motd highlight?

i tend to think that AVB's sacking was the wake up call for the lads. that probably includes bobby as well. lol.

isn't he injured (or unfit or something)?

Andre Villas Boas to Make A Sensational Return As Chelsea Boss

SOS TIRAM

lol. this is the lamest april fool joke today.

can i know how much AVB get after sacked? Heard it to be somewhere around 70m pounds.

if his contract is terminated, definitely theres compensation needs to be paid but definitely it is not 70 million pound! the union there is strong unlike us 3rd world country whereby if our contract been prematurely terminated we got zilch....a compensation of somewhere between 3m-8m for AVB if im not mistaken..... enough if he doesnt wana work anymore and live low profile, he could comfortably retire...

oic, I thought I read to some amazing number in this thread or the previous one before saying numbers up to 70m. Then its a mistake I think. Thanks anyway.

Probably 70m MYR? Anyway yeah he's many, many millions richer and he's on vacation on some exotic island with his family at the moment.
