Yeah he's on the bench for the United match.

Chelsea Without drogba seem to play more freely and with more character.. The ball doesnt have to end up for one specific player to score but as we see a wide range of players feel they can express themselves. We didnt really miss him when the ACN came.. im not saying dont play drogba. Hes the first name on the teamsheet against the top 4 but i think in some games u'd be better off going for a 4-3-3 Anelka and two wingers..

pele.

WHY DECO?! Argh!

Rafa The Gaffa Benitez

Flamini :D

Firstly im not saying sign him in January, but definately an option in the Summer (pending the Transfer ban) Mauro Zarate firstly is a top top Striker, I watch every Lazio game because i rate him so highly. Personally i think his time with Birmingham in the PL was very good, did not look like the pace of the PL affected him.. Scored some vital goals, however he found himself on the bench too often! and Birmingham evidently went down. I think he's better than Aguero, he can create something out of nothing, takes a great free kick and is a clinical finisher. He does ball hog but thats only becuase he wants to impress. Lazio have said some big clubs are interested, hence the immediate link to chelsea. Lazio did sign in for 22mil Euros last summer so they might be reluctant to sell, but i would love to see this guy at chelsea.

And Hes Not! For some reason :S. I Really wanted to see him upfront with Anelka and Either Joe or Malouda supporting.. Not Both !

I think he's past it. I dont see no motivation in his play anymore.

..............Cech............... Ivan Alex JT A.Cole Mikel Lampard Zhirkov J.cole Surridge/Anelka Drogs I'm giving Joey a chance, but his performances haven't been encouraging.

Firstly i'd like to say thats its great to see the youngsters coming up and showing potential, something we haven't seen with ex managers. But realistically Sturridge and Borini will not surffice. Now i dont know wether Ancelotti is doing this part of a plan! so that other clubs dont suddenly notch up the prices because they know Chelsea are in the market! If you compare the strikers available from the top 5.. we'll have Anelka & Sturridge starting, Arsenal : Arshavin , Eduardo.. Utd scum: Rooney Berbatov.. Liverpool: Torres Kuty/Gerrard.. City: Tevez, SantaCruz, Robinho, Bellamy. Tbh i feel were at a huge disadvantage and i think Carlo needs to seriously take a look at aquisitions. PLEASE! Just like to know peoples opinions! Is he serious!

Get ballack out of the starting 11!.. we'd be basically starting with 10men!

Ballack was pathetic.. no energy whatsoever. Looks like a play at the moment with no confidence, he's even written off his nations hopes of performing well at the World cup. This is after jus coming from a euro final with spain. His presence in midfield is fading! He would not be in my starting line up.

cech ivan terry riccy cole mikel lamps malouda joe cole Drog if fit (kakuta if not) Anelka

Hopefully Kakuta and Anelka start.. because i see that being our strike partnership during the ACN, unless sturridge starts to impress.. Maybe Joe cole off Anelka, but he needs more games.

Chelseabootboy.. u got it spot on.. hes a lazy player, who comes on the pitch to play at his pace and trys a few fancy things.. He was a quality player, but i just shake my head whenever hes on the pitch

You want him to stay another 2-3 years?!?! No way!.. bring him now!.. after a Euro with russian where i see him doing very well! his price is going to Rocket up!.. Arsenal were clever in signing Rosicky before the euros on the cheap!

I've watched him play, and at only 16 years old hes something for the future. Definately an option for replacing drogba. However hes said that he doesnt want a move just yet, would rather gain some more experience. Fair Enough!

Would love to see Matic get a run out.. I know hes inneligeble but its also a Big chance for Franco Di Santo to have a little look at his new compeition in Kakuta/Borini/Sturridge

Ivanovic.. Everyone was saying how much Arshavin would step up and he was just overpowered.
