We were toying with them and they equalised. I'll be surprised if we actually manage to win this now. Going up 1-0 and then start messing around was the issue we had last season and we're doing it again.

1. He's not our player anymore 2. Its a loan deal until January Some of you are sounding like arse fans yelling judas and whatnot..

Thank you, Geezer!

Maybe not Chelsea-specific preseason but, if anyone on this forum is in Dallas, TX I can help you find Didier Drogba.

David Luiz has been sold (apparentyl): http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/307315.html

Nope

Wow, just reading what you guys posted from watching online or from TV I don't think I want to know what you guys would say had you attended like myself. Poor match really, I've attended 2 Chelsea games in the USA. In Miami vs Milan (Lost 0-1) and this one. Unfortunate... I'm glad Yossi is out, everyone boo'd him when he missed his chance and on his way back he gave the crowd the finger...we sure know how to pick them sometimes. Torres as captain was a joke. Should have been David Luiz. Only positive I can take was seeing Chelsea play once again and finally seeing (my current favorite player) Juan Mata play and score. The guy is simply a magician.

Keep in mind that David Silva and Juan Mata used to both played together at Valencia and Javi Garcia and Juan Mata both played together at Real Madrid B. So its more than just being from the same nation..

Fernando can do lots of things. And for being so versatile I'm sure Ba doesn't mind taking the passenger seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_929579&feature=iv&src_vid=uNXkEQz5Kwo&v=ATit1hb6TI4

Bring in Jamal Blackman instead

Well, RIP to this thread.

We should go ahead and buy Brazil while we're at it..

3-0 at Swansea. No worries.

I just want to say that I am completely and utterly disgusted. I feel extremely bad for RDM, it was undeserved. Even more so due to the fact that the man that lead us to qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup won't even be able to manage the team he took there. I'm gutted...speechless.

Thibaut Courtois, that is correct.

Yeah, I know. I was a bit sketchy about him being there too. But I don't know where else he'd be. Honestly, I feel that Oscar is more of an Attacking mid/winger, not a center mid. I guess I would switch Mata and Oscar's positions. Also, I noticed I forgot to put Essien.

-----------------------------Torres---------------------------------- ---Hazard-------------------Oscar-------------Mata-------- -----------------Lampard----------Mikel------------------------- ---Cole----------Terry------------Luiz--------Ivanovic----- ----------------------------Cech---------------------------------- Bench: Cahill, Bertrand, Ramires, Marin, Sturridge, Malouda, Meireles (Swap one of them for Turnbull or Hilario to be technical and have a GK sub)

If I'm not mistaken Dempsey plays LM/LW mainly, occasionally CM/CAM and not so often anymore RM/RW

He's my favorite USA player, it would be neat but I don't think he'd fit on the squad unless he wants to be a sub which I doubt. However, he won't be my favorite if he goes to Liverpool...

I went to this game to see Chelsea play for the very first time in my life in person and it was a great experience. I flew from Dallas, TX to Miami, FL to see the match and it was well worth it regardless of the result. I had great seats and before kickoff I was on the pitch for the entire time that the team was warming up. I was able to get close pictures of basically everyone that was there. Here's one of Torres. Hopefully the next time I get to see the team it will be at the Bridge. Let me know if you guys want me to share some more pictures. PS, Marin is extremely small. He was attempting to get in for a corner and was standing just in front of the goal and he was literally picked up with ease by a Milan defender and moved away. It was a bit amusing, actually. Also, I was extremely impressed with Hazard, he played with passion, not letting up for a moment and he went for the ball at every opportunity. I'm glad he's on board.

This third kit looks like it belongs on Wolverine from the X-Men..
