http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavi%C5%A1a_Jokanovi%C4%87 Im not a fan of mikel one bit but this an extremely harsh thread. Jokanovic there was our worst.what a helmet

Get well soon bobby rest up and hope you are back to your best in no time. A chelsea great best wishes from a Cork Blue

Im embarrassed to say I live 5mins away from the hospital he is being treated and had not heard a thing until I logged in here today.Id love to get my own get well card in but will join in with these shedend messages.fantastic idea.

Cech ivanovic luiz terry cole romeu lampard ramires sturride torres mata Thats the team he will play I reckon although cahill should defintly be in ahead of luiz. Holt and morrison if they both start it will be a bombardment in on top of luiz as every manager in the league knows he is vulnerable. It might be harsh to say but his type of football isnt suited for the premiership and should be shipped out to spain if any substantial offer came in over the summer. Unbelievable character and I love him for that but lets face it every game he starts we watch cringing and waiting for him to make his next clanger. We need solidity and he is a million miles from that.

gervinho is also a donkey...there isnt much to be worried about. If RVP wasnt there theyd be struggling for europa

To ensure we make the signings we want however it is vital we get into the champions league.That is my biggest worry. It would be interesting to see if we didnt get into the CL would roman make the investment to get us back to the top

he would be a bench warmer at arsenal aswel...wenger has settled with the gervinho r.v.p walcott attacking trio.Even then henry is back and oxlade chamberlain is fighting for a place also. By the way chamberlain in my opinion already better than walcott he has a big future I wonder if we were ever interested,unbelievable prospect

Its definitly a league on the up.Quality national side every stadium every week is always near capacity with unbelievable atmospheres.Players talk about loving the atmosphere at premiership games this is on another planet for noise levels. I can definitly see why the younger players want to stay at their home teams its an excellent league.

Trust me im Irish and should be in support of our younger players but coleman is not even worth 2 million.Pace is the absolutely only attribute he has.

Still a class act wouldnt look at replacing him atal but surly courtois will be given a chance next season to challenge him a bit. If he has this nose thing on again thursday ill go mad though was the injury not at the beginning of october it must be healed by now. The man must have an addiction with attaching things to his head

Centre back definitly needed if no one else is signed wouldnt be the end of the world. Leave the clear out until the summer. A left winger, 2 centre midfielders and striker will all be needed as well as possibly giving Courtois a chance in goal. Big summer ahead quiet january is my call

To start with a positive sturridge is making me a fortune on anytime goalscorer bets....then on the negative AVB needs to hold the hand up here absolutely brutal substitutions.You dont protect a 1.0 lead against a team like wigan you get the first then go on and hockey them they are a very bad team. Missed ramires alot i thought, lampard is tragically slow on the ball he gives defenders days to get back into position before he passes the ball. I will say about wigan though moses is quality hell end up at a top side in my opinion

i cannot believe we have had to put up with mikels play for the past 4 or how long years!!!oriol romeu WHAT A PLAYER

Cech Ivan-Luiz-Terry-Cole Ramires-Romeu-Hamsik Mata-Sturridge-Hazard Thats 2 very big signings but clear out the deadwood bring in the two big guns bring the youngsters through on the bench and that in my opinion is a team capable of matching city and united. I also think Gary Cahill definitly worth signing in january. Terry would love an english partner and also possible long term replacement for him

Thank god you have realised this.Iv been arguing with friends the past few days all slagging me saying weve turned sh*t and will struggle to make top 4. I guarantee if we go back to this with meireles sitting playing quick ball and ramires and lampard either side we will start winning again. Could also have romeu sitting and meireles instead of lampard. The sentiments must go out the window now with lampard we have stronger players than him and I feel he shouldn't be starting the game against newcastle. Saying that if he does start I hope he gives us a few goals and make me look like a numpty

---------------------cech------------------------ ivan--------alex-----------terry----------cole ------------ramires--------meireles----------- sturridge---------mata--------------anelka -------------------torres----------------------- i would love to see AVB play this team some day and see us absolutely pass a team off the park.so much creativity and ability in that side.Lamps could also fit into that AM role and leave anelka out to accomodate mata on the wing.Just when u mess around with formations and players I would love to see this starting line up one day

Were simply picking the wrong team in my opinion there is still an excellent squad there and just a few changes will help us drastically. I said before the team had been announced today if Luiz is centre back and Mikel Ramires and Lamps start midfield well be beaten. Smiled when I saw the team nearly put money on a chelsea opposition for the first time in my life I was so sure. Luiz.....absolute headcase shouldnt be allowed anywhere near these important games. He wants to play midfield and leaves our defence wide open when he loses the ball in one of his dribbles up field. Total liability in my opinion and I'm not one bit convinced so far. Alex in the middle and Iva right full defence sorted. Mikel.....offers absolutely nothing slows the game down when he has the ball all he does is receive it off one of the centre backs give it to the full backs and run away. Theres no need for him in the side whatsoever. Let meirels play that role or romeu much quicker passing better tempo and overall better players. Ramires and lampard I suppose have to start they offer too much in terms of goals and workrate. Giving josh the odd game here and there and rotating would also be very beneficial. Our best front 3 is Mata Sturridge and Torres. Iv no idea whats wrong with Drogba but his first touch is so bad its unbelievable. Sell anelka kalou and malouda in january theyv become deadwood.We dont need them. I wish AVB would stop being so uptight also and lets start giving these new young players a chance, Wilshere got his england international,welbeck got his same thing,cleverly,phil jones you get the idea. Theres lots to be optimistic about if our young stars are given the chance to show what they can do. Lets just hope AVB lets it happen

i know people here love to sing the praisies of ramires but his first touch is just so poor today.unbelievably frustrating player in my opinion

Just read this story on sky sports and have to say Im unhappy about it. Dont think hes good enough to be a chelsea player simple as.What are other peoples views?

Hope AVB goes with his strongest possible team and attempt to get this group rapped up early so we can use the young players for the last 2 or 3 games.It will be a tough game but Valencia are nowhere near what they used to be.Soldado in good scoring form but JT or ivanovic should have the measure of him. Lampard a certainty to come into the team so my preferred selection would be: Cech,Boss,Terry,Iva,Cole,Meireles,Lampard,Ramires,Mata,El Nino,Anelka(Sturridge if fit) Also does anyone else share my fears about Luiz's defensive capabilities?Unbelievable going forward and some man to get a goal but i have to look away when I see him running into a challenge he produces a moment of defensive excellence or hacks down a player gets a yellow and puts us under pressure.I dont know I have no confidence in him centre back

Cheers ill try that

Is there any reliable live streams to the game?the ones ive tried are very poor. Also sky sports barely even mentioned our two goals on soccer saturday and ever since the red card its been crazy.Stelling really milking it

id love if we reignited kakas career and he brought his milan form.what a player he was single handedly took man united to the cleaners in old trafford

Its based on he was good at liverpool and west ham but did you ever think yeh I'd love him to play for chelsea? Hed be nice to have in the squad alrite but defintely not as good as the midfielders we have already.Modric is on another planet to yossi.Lampard is far better when on form, josh will be far better and essien to come back in to the team is also much better. Also to play yossi we would have to accomodate him he wouldt fit into our current formation it would have to be changed.We rely on one out and out defensive midfielder and 2 box to box players.yossi is neither of them.A 4-2-3-1 would suit him with him in behind torres but anelka and mata are better options in that role. Rant Over

Mr Abramovich get the cheque book out 50 million modric give the fans what they want well worry about the damage to the coffers later...im praying we hear something soon
