Kakuta better start. With this contract thing looming he needs all the chances we can give him. If he doesn't start a game that really doesn't matter, it could be negative for him.

At last???? He is still only 23, very young. It's about right for him to have some struggles early on. Especially because he was placed into a position that wasn't natural to him. He is great and deserves nothing but praise this year.

The big guns will be rested. Carlo already said josh will start. And that the Burma, Kakuta, and PVA will be involved for sure. Essien will probably play so he doesn't get rusty. I'm sure paulo will also play at RB. Probably turnbull in goal also.

"He isn't scared to shoot." Ha ha ha. Ya right at the keeper or way over the goal when there is an open net. Ya, defeat are so quick but he can't beat a keeper one on one. Good one.

Who in their right mind would vote for Kalou? Cmon.

Why not Kakuta? especially when we go four attackers. he goes into the middle to create for others.

Essien and lampard wouldn't have made a difference either. we can't score because we have no attackers. Kalou shouldn't be on the team much less in the line up. Drogba is a lazy attitude and Anelka has one move. we need someone who can create and go by somebody.

Kalou can't even beat the keeper one on one. He is a bum

Anybody who says we dont need somebody like neymar is crazy. We dont have anybody who can go around somebody.

Kalou misses an open net. its time for him to stop playing. he can't find the net at all. he is terrible.

Kalou blows. Somebody tell him to pass the darn ball.

The Ramires bashing has to stop right now. Just because he hasn't been "Essien" everbody is on him. I can't stand you people! The kid needs time. Getting thrown into the "hardest, toughest" league in the world isn't easy. If you watch him for Brazil, he is brilliant. His attacking ability is much better than what I thought it would be. I can't wait until a year from now when you "haters" will be the same ones saying that he is playing pretty good. He will adjust to the leauge and will be a good player for this team. EVERYONE STRUGGLES IN THIS LEAGUE AT FIRST!!! Essien wasn't today's Essien in his first year. Neither was Lampard. You people need to have some common sense.

I'm not sure Malouda will start. Last night, Chelsea TV said he was out, but today Carlo said he will play. BUT, he did not mention his name when naming the starting lineup. Very interesting. It will probably be Malouda that starts but it could be Kakuta or MacEachran!

Ganso- he is hurt right now but exactly what this team needs. A creative, scoring midfielder. Lukaku or Neymar - a young, talented strikers. David Luiz - solid, young defender.

He scored 1 premier league goal and 4 fa cup goals last year. This year he has scored 1 champions league goal. I get that some of these games are against weaker teams, but you still have to get the ball in the back of the net, something Kalou can't do. The truth is that when Sturridge gets a chance to start and play the whole game, he has success. The 10 min here and there isn't enough for Sturridge. I personally feel that if he was given the same time as Kalou he would scrore just as much, probably more.

Neymar and Ramires are two very different players. Neymar is a game changer. Yes, he will get banged around a little bit but he is so skilled that he makes most defenders miss. He had to fouled at least 5 or 6 times yesterday after the fact that he made one move and was by the defender. He set up at least 3 free kicks from around 22 yards. He is a great player and we should go after him.

Here is the link to his second goal today. If you don't think this looks like Drogba, you're crazy. He just throws the defender to the side. Great goal. http://www.footytube.com/video/russia-vs-belgium-0-2-2nd-goal-r-lukaku-17-11-64675

The Kid was amazing today paying against Russia. Scored both goals for the team in win. Huge Talent.

He did look really good today in the Brazil game. his talent is for real. it isn't much of a risk going for this kid.

Luiz is surely somebody we need to take a look at. He is a force back there. Thought Ramires looked a lot better with Brazil then he does with us. I, for one, will wait with him. He seems like a good player that needs time in the PL. Thought Neymar looked good also. He is great with the ball and can create chances.

i agree. very solid and managing messi. Neymar is electric. Seems like he can create out of anything.

Alex is on bench, in unifrom, for the game. Weird that he would make the trip even though he cant play?

Game just started. Ramires obviously is starting again. Too bad Alex cant play. Kind of interested in watching how Neymar plays, he is starting up front with Robinho.

Can't we recall Mancienne from loan?

I don't know how it works but can't we someway recall somebody that is on loan? Mancienne would be great to have right now. He can play CB or RB.
