If not mistaken, he wasn't. Only Mata have been recalled to La Roja from our club. He somehow managed to hang on to his place before, with Negredo's current form, Torres has something to worry about..

Torres is back. but Schrulle out

SOS Jose Press Conference

Matchday woots!!

Just when you though Hazard's season has been mediocre

Luiz y u do dis?
hard enuf to penetrate teams playing at SB, now we have to come back from goal down

Eden!!!

Ball wasn't coming fast enough, and Cech wasn't close enough. Luiz made the call, poor judgement by him.

But it didn't cost him this time. The team is getting more united(small letter u) in spirit. Glad to see that. Cannot say much about the game as I couldn't get a smooth stream to watch.

Now we must start to dominate games from the get go and not concede the first goal.

Schalke next. KTBFFH!!

Torres, cheeky

SB-Basel 1-1, woots!!

It's always hard with a feeder team in the group, but glad they manage to hold Basel.

Damn, our defence had a busy night. Oscar assist for second goal gooding mang. Pace, strength and of course the correct pass.

Torres is able to perform well in UCL games because our opponents usually try to enforce themselves into the game, instead of being more conservative like quite a number of teams in PL. This allows both teams to attack each other. So whoever comes out on top in the battle of defences and attack gets the result(also our early goal helped in that favour). In PL, even with piling pressure, we won't be able to effectively convert our play to chances unless we already leading.

Although i never really expressed any comments or felt that way regarding Sturridge in that manner, I have to admit it would have been great if he managed to get similar results with us. But sometimes it just wasn't meant to be, so he moved on, and I'm happy for him for being successful(as long he doesn't cost us any trophies ).

MC with only 1 striker? interesting.

But don't be fooled. This just gives Yaya more freedom. (Anus prepared just in case).

I'm guessing Schrulle,Hazard and Torres going to be isolated from midfield coz Oscar will dropping deeper to match MC's mid 3. The problem comes when we want to counter, without Mata, attack and mid seem disjointed. It was similar to another game, where only after Mata came on, our counter attacks become more productive.

True. But strength on paper doesn't always reflect performance on the pitch. Some of those players got very few matches under their belt this season. It's just matter of how much that affects the players in terms of form and match fitness.

COC QF:
Leicester City v Manchester City
Stoke City v Manchester United
Sunderland or Southampton v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United

Willian joins Rami, Luiz and Oscar in Brazil's latest lineup.

Happy Deepavalli Blues!!

agree, he playing week in week out. Of course we all want to see Oscar in that position, but Mikel is a more likely replacement. In fact, Mikel could be preferable since Newcastle has some strong players in midfield.

Post line-up mang

Cech; Ivanovic, D Luiz, Terry ©, Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Mata, Oscar, Hazard; Torres

Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Mikel, Willian, Schurrle, Eto’o

so far not bad. A familiar Mazacar feel going on. But i like the various attempts to penetrate their defense; crosses, short ground passes, long direct ground passes. And our recovery also not bad. Just that when lamps is the deepest mid in while with possesion kind of risky.
