No excuses for anything other than 3 points away at Wolves with the slight hope that Everton can sneak a draw against Utd.

 
And what is the key to success here? My feeling is that at the moment we should keep playing Mikel because he has more energy than the other midfielders and hope that he can get the attack started. According to Physioroom Essien and Boswinga are due back over the next couple of weeks and perhaps bossy can even be on the bench this week.

upfront it will be drogs and anelka, zhirkov at left back and i guess malouda, ballack and lamps.

Unless you want to play one of the youngsters the team pretty much picks itself now. Maybe alex instead of riccy.

 
No excuse for not getting all three points here. We have to play them as if we're playing one of the big sides - no slacking, no complacency, a thoroughly professional performance is what is required.

I want to see Alex start instead of Carvalho. Mikel has been pretty good ever since he came back from ACN so he must be a shoe in. Malouda, Lamps and Ballack the other midfielders.

 
Im getting to the stage where going a goal up worries me and unless were 3 up then i can only feel comfortable and away from home frightens me even more. We need more desire and unless we can start to put it up to teams and show our class then im afraid were not going to win too much.

I'll put money on Manure winning that one, Everton roll over against them year in, year out.

As for Chelsea? We should win it, but god knows what'll happen.

 
Of course we will win, but what are the chances of that tw*t Saha scoring a brace against his old club?

More chance of me winning the luge event!

 
Not 100% sure about this match. Considering our current away-form I have very little confidence about us doing well. You can just hope that our players are going to play with heart and fresh legs this time.

 
This is a must win, no excuse what so ever. I expect Ballack to be rested for this one, don't think he has the legs to play 2 games in 4-5 days.

 
my line-up would be:

-------------------------cech------------------------------

-------ivan--------carvahlo--JT--------------zhirkov----

----------belletti/deco-mikel-lampard-------------------

-----------------anelka-----malouda--------------------

-----------------------drogba-----------------------------

Subs: Hilario, Alex, PF, Matic, Joe, Sturridge, Kalou

 
Just got a text stating Lamps is out of tomorrow's game (from the official Chelsea twitter). On checking the official site I learnt that he is one of the seven absentees which include Alex, Belletti, Deco, Boss, Ashley and Essien.

Not really the news I wanted to hear. Though Frankie should be back for the Inter game.

 
Hmm not great news at all. guess that means Joe will probably get another chance to impress.

 
Alex tweaked his knee in training yesterday and requires a scan which doesn't sound too clever. Hopefully he'll be okay. Frank has a virus but should be fine for the Inter game. At least JT is back and raring to go

lets hope so.

With all these injuries the team pretty much picks itself

zhirkov

mikel

ballack

cole

malouda

droga

anelka

I guess he might rest one of the strikers and bring in super kalou ahead of Wednesday but , well, lets hope he doesn't.

Hope some of these injuries clear up before Wednesday too. We've still got a strong starting eleven but the bench looks a bit untested for a big European game. Be nice to have a few options if things

are not going to plan.

 
If we play to the same tempo and passion as against you the other week ..looks like Piennar is going to sign a new contract and this will give us a boost..we will beat man ure....good luck against Wolves ::clap2::

Id rather see Matic given a go in midfield. If we start Joe, Malouda would have to be dropped to midfield which isnt that great imo.

I think you may well have this right, should do the job!

 
NO LAMPS OR ALEX :P

Still, no excuse for not getting 3 points!

Shame Cahill is out vs Manure :(
