Nike has a new commerical out about the new French Kit. It was cool to see Kakuta in it. I believe that his him at the 00:33 mark. Obviously they see Kakuta as a future star for the country. http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/-Our-Differences-Unite-Us-claims-Nike-s-new-Fra?urn=sow-308723&active_dimension=carousel_ept_sports_sow_experts

That is good news. Solid, solid player.

Alright, lets say Hutch, DKW, and Chippy are right. Lets say Drogba is still feeling the effects of Malaria. If he is, fine, Im not going to attack him for that. But, just for discussion, as a manager if you know that your player is still feeling Malaria, why is he the guy week after week in the starting lineup. The only week he missed was the FA cup game. Wouldn't you want a player in there that can give 100% because it is obvious that his 60% that he his giving now isn't getting it done. You say that it took Toure a couple years to bounce back. Well, we don't have that kind of time especially with a aging player in Drogba. You have to do what's best for the team. Yes, Drogba was the best striker in the world last year, but that is because he was healthy. If he isn't healthy then he shouldn't be playing every week.

My question is what can he do that Kakuta can't? Pienaar will just take away opportunities away from Kakuta and Sturridge.

Are u really still using the malaria excuse? Cmon! He is way over that. It's the excuses like this one that allow poor form to continue. At the end of the day, you have to make changes to fix something, not make excuses. I'm not writing Drogba off but I'm not using excuses for his poor form. If he play bad then he should sit a game or two. If he his playing good then he stays in the lineup.

The very few times I have seem him play, I have been impressed. Very strong and good going forward. He is an absolute beast in the air also. I would say we go after him especially if the rumors about Bossy leaving are true.

Carlo must have something against Sturridge. there is no way Kalou comes on first.

Sturridge! Sturridge! Sturridge!

Drogba must still have malaria... EXCUSES! Bring on Sturridge. Somebody that will at least look like he's trying.

That thinking is wrong. We should win because we are playing Blackburn. That doesn't mean Carlo is right when we decides to put our hottest player on the bench. Sturridge should be starting. Wrong decision Carlo.

Very disappointed with this lineup. It is the same lineup that couldn't find the net for how long. Danny must be really upset. What does he have to do? In my opinion, Carlo is not making the right decisions here. We are not facing Man U. It's Blackburn. Danny should start. Bad call Carlo.

If his value has dropped it may be a good time to go after him.

This would be a dream. Would love to have Pato. Great on either wing and can also play in the middle. I feel Josh and Kakuta will be our playmakers of the future and Pato is the guy we need so we have a guy that can flat out score. No problems at all when of comes to finishing.

Hate Livepool, Hate ManU. But I thought this was funny. Good Picture. http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/Ryan-Babel-tweets-Howard-Webb-in-Man-Utd-shirt-?urn=sow-305359

Just watched the highlights for the first time. Wow, both of Danny's goals were impressive. He made the second one look so easy. Lampard, like always, making a 20 yarder look simple. The one thing I have to say is that the first goal should have been Anelka's. It was going in either way and Kalou just tapped it in. It's funny because you can see it on Kalou's face after he did it. He smiled at Anelka like he knew he took one from him. No big deal though. Good win.

Does anybody have any idea on how to watch the highlights without Chelsea Tv?

hmmm. A young, talented player who is good enough to be called up to the England squad at a young age. A player we could use. Plays a Man City and is said to have a bad attitude. Who does that sound like? Besides the England call up....Daniel Sturridge. Maybe he has a bad attitude because he plays for Man. City. I would have a bad attitude about aht.

Exactly what I said before. His second was the goal of the game. Great curler with his right foot. Everybody says he isn't a great finisher. Well, maybe given some ACTUAL game time, he shows he is much better than what people think. Should start the next game. Great job Danny.

From what I have heard, Ramires also played well again. He has gotten better and better as the year goes on. Looking forward to what he can bring in the future.

Where did Josh play? In the holding role or out wide? Did Ramires play the holding role?

So far in the 2nd half, we have 7 shots, 4 of them for goals. 4 out of 7 shots for goals is called... efficient. Where has that been?

The more and more I see and hear about Kakuta play, the more I think he is exactly what we need. A link between the midfield and attack to create for the strikers.

Will we see a hat trick today?

I say we get one of our centerbacks out of there. Can't afford an injury to one of them. Get Paulo in there and put him out on the left side.

ESPN GameCast says that Bruma came on for PVA because of injury? Is that right?
