Cech Yourself

Remy. That is all.

I agree and think he is just focusing on keeping the ball. Comfort will come with time. After all, he isn't even legal drinking age in the US. Plus, passing technique can be taught but his physical prowess cannot.

How is Fabregas at CAM? Is 68 sprint speed too slow? I can't decide between him and Oscar.

Yep, went on sale yesterday.

Yes, they do. You can turn them off in the play now mode if you prefer. I believe Costa default is 86 as is Courtois. The only rating I was disappointed with was Azpili still at 79.

Played it for the first time last night. Really enjoyed it. Nice to see some of the Chelsea boys ratings improve. Costa currently in form up to an 88.

Because of the depth in the squad, I doubt it. Surely he is quality enough to play, though. Hope to see him.

In the states, the only decent stream site I've found that is free is firstrowsports.eu. Any other sugguestions?

Agreed. I hope Remy becomes second choice ahead of Drogba. Not sure he is much more than a impact substitute now.

I understand concern about his fitness, but isn't it possible Jose saying what he did is partly him playing mind games with everyone? Not out of the picture I don't think.

My using of this site comes and goes. Every time I read and/or post the amount of overreacting that happens is a ton. Schalke, although not at top level, did rise up to draw Bayern Munich already this season. There is no reason to panic in such a long season. 4-3-3 -- Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Luis; Ramires, Fabregas, Matic; Willian, Costa, Hazard.

Only second to Drogba, Mata is a favorite. But not only does he need to leave ManU, I think he fits better in another league. He is far too lightweight to take the brutality of the premier league and it has shown as the time has passed since he arrived at Chelsea. I will always miss his passion, though.

Zouma - Varane sure would be fun to see in a few years.

The past two weeks have felt like two years. 3-1 to Chels - Fabregas, Oscar, Remy.

4-3-3 Courtois Azpili, Cahill, Terry, Luis Oscar, Matic, Fabregas Schurrle, Costa, Hazard Fabregas playing the furthest forward of the middle three.

DEMBA FREAKING BA

I don't think you can say Luiz will never be a midfielder. I'm sure multiple people on this site will agree he's had some good performances this year in the midfield, especially when played with Matic. Not to mention he hasn't exactly been playing midfield his whole career. It's possible that the pairing yesterday didn't work efficiently against the opposition, but there are times when he can/should be deployed in that role.

I fully agree Ba is just as good as Torres at this point in his career. The stats above aren't totally relevant because of late substitute use. Would be much better to see a minute comparison.

Look forward to Eto'o continuing his rejuvenation. 2-0 Chels.

I agree with the above lineup with one exception - Lampard. Desperately needing a little bit of his leadership and presence. Maybe a time for him to step in and show why he has been class for so long.

Does anyone else hope to see Ba given a start here? We all know a striker builds off confidence, so Ba getting a start could prove beneficial. Plus, it saves Eto'o for the CL midweek.

300 Rise of an Empire was class. Check it out, especially if you liked the first one.

The only concern should be this -- don't pack the black jerseys. Otherwise, 2-0 to Chelsea.

Perhaps Oscar's goals have dried up, but he is still only 22. Plenty of time for improvement and the manager to get it out of him.
