Skoolblowsme Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What I don't understand is, why is De Bruyne being shipped out on loan, yet Malouda seems to be staying? Get rid of that useless French **** and keep De Bruyne, FFS. Oh Mikel, you really are one of the worst footballers the world's ever seen. Chelsea playing with 10 men almost every game then. Should be an exciting handicap to watch. Cool article, but he's still *****. Cech is one of the dodgiest goalkeepers I've ever seen. One day, he's absolutely brilliant and then the next, he's having another howler. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, I've seen him have more howlers than amazing games. Surprise, surprise, but I'm not seeing it with Moses. Definitely not worth the money that's been spent, that's for sure. He was shocking. One of the worst defenders I've ever seen, seriously. Muller so negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyosullivan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Muller so negative. Come on, it's Müller, of course he's going to be negative I'll miss his comments about KALOUUUUU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodydkm Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 So how do you think we will do tomorrow? I'm confident we will at least score but it's going to be difficult to keep Ben Arfa, Cisse and Ba quiet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanyi Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 We've officially signed Cesar Azpilicueta (fee reportedly £6.5m plus bonuses) and Victor Moses (£9m unconfirmed). Bit disappointed to see Adam Johnson go to Sunderland as personally I'd rather have him than Moses, but Azpilicueta's all good news. If the fees are correct, solid business getting them for under £10m each. And if we're talking old defenders, I'm saying Emerson Thome. Only with us for six months, but fecking immense alongside Desailly against Barca when we won 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. That night was one of my favourite ever games as a Chelsea fan: still remember the elation when Zola curled in his free kick, then Flo added two more before half-time.

woodydkm Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That game against barca has to be one of my all time favourite games too... The Zola free kick was a peach! I'm think 2-1 win. Hazard and Mata. The real question though is how many assists will Hazard get? Would be brilliant if he won another penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggaeBwoy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Is the Moses signing a RDM one or an Abramovich one? Definitely a RDM one. He has always admired him and wanted him at West Brom as well so that is why Moses was persuaded to come here as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Shocking start for the day for me. Had a mate come to stay and one drink out turned into a whole night out. Missed the bus and I now have to pay for the train. This game will be hard but if we can tighten up at the back I think we have enough quality to create the chances to score up front.

jaybob Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 And if we're talking old defenders, I'm saying Emerson Thome.

That night was one of my favourite ever games as a Chelsea fan: still remember the elation when Zola curled in his free kick, then Flo added two more before half-time. Was he really only with us for 6 months? Was sure it was at least a season. Sad to hear Hogh had a stroke. Still probably better then Big Frank though.

thegr8anand Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation: 1 Petr Cech © 2 Branislav Ivanovic 24 Gary Cahill 4 David Luiz 3 Ashley Cole 12 John Mikel Obi 16 Raul Meireles 10 Juan Mata 17 Eden Hazard 34 Ryan Bertrand 9 Fernando Torres Substitutes: 22 Ross Turnbull, 5 Michael Essien, 6 Oriol Romeu, 7 Ramires, 8 Frank Lampard, 11 Oscar, 23 Daniel Sturridge. Risky playing Raul instead of Lampard? He is worse in tackling than Lampard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanyi Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Is there a chance your game could be called off tonight because of a waterlogged pitch?? BBC Football said the game's likely to go ahead and the keepers are out to warm up. Today's team: Cech - Ivanovic, David Luiz, Cahill, A Cole - Mikel, Meireles - Hazard, Mata, Bertrand - Torres SUBS: Turnbull, Romeu, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Sturridge Very strange team IMO. Can understand wanting to rest players, but am surprised not to see Mata given a breather instead of Lampard, and maybe Sturridge in the team. Bertrand is an intelligent pick towards neutralising Ben Arfa, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegr8anand Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Very happy with the team right now. No Terry or Lampard today. Got most of things right in defense with Bertrand looking better and better each game. Full credit to Mata who is a bit sidelined with Hazard getting all the assists and goal but he is just as important as he is usually behind him and doesn't go as forward as Hazard. Brana is a BEAST! Cahill and Luiz our future defensive partnership?? Hopefully Torres can keep using his flashes of brilliance to score. And to think about the depth we have which even City can't match in quality!

jmr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That was good. Torres looked great, loads of confidence. Really like Bertrand in this side as well and Meireles deserves credit for his performance, very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
