Hey everyone, great win. If the first 5m of the first half was what avbs project then i say bring on the project! David luiz had a really good game, that goal was class. Sturridge actually passed the ball a few times today and those passes made a big difference to our attack. I think drogba should keep the striker spot as he is giving us goals, i think torres has had his chance and the only way he'll get back into the starting 11 is if he gets some goals coming on as a sub.

With Cortois, i think he should stay at athletico madrid for another season. After that season he should be loaned out to a premier league club like bolton, sunderland, maybe even newcastle if someone buys tim krul.
A lot of people are asking for cech to go and bring him in as our number 1 or the others are saying bring him in as competition for cech. I reckon that bring him back so he can be a sub for cech will seriously stunt his growth, so i think he should stay in spain where he is playing against strikers like ronaldo, messi, llorente. Then if his form and growth continues take him back from spain then loan him to a epl club so he can get used to the style of the epl

He will be the next number one for the mighty blues, but he needs time.

Bring him back. Cech is past it like quite a few others. Build a new team.

Rubbish Cech is proven and far from finished. Getting rid would be total madness. We lone a keeper to Spain how good is that league. Look at de gey at united.

Good win ,but still there is a lack of creativity in central midfield.The passing of the midfielders could be faster ,especially that of Ramires and Lampard.Mata was great as usual. Luiz was brilliant, both going forwards and at the back.The defence looks solid enough to stop Napoli from scoring.Torres looked eager,Drogba got his goal so good signs ahead.If Lampard regains at least some of his old passing abilites we will be well off,but his replacement should be priority number one for Chelsea in the summer transfer window.Because his poor form is the single most important reason why we have struggled this season ,as he has been the engine of the team for such a long time and every thing revolves around him.Lets hope we can do the job against Napoli. It will go a long way in restoring confidence among the players.
PS-Roman looked happy with the performance today.

Totally agree, but boy it's gonna be hard to replace Lamps.
KP

No,prioruty number one is to replace Torres,5o millions too much for a guy who just looks eager,need a top class striker ASAP.

Finally. He got all of the best players on the pitch. No Meirelles, no Bosingwa and no Malouda. You do not have to be a Chelsea manager to realize that those three should be out of the club at the earliest possible date.

Look at the ball movement. Look at the energy of Essien and Ramires. That is the way to play. That is the Chelsea way, Andre.

If you want my advice, - keep this lineup. It might as well save your job.

No sign of the 5-0 yet then SHED?

KJS

And your prediction was.....

Melbourne CFC

Oh David Luiz, i want curly hair too, still time pal, and i said 5-1 by the way

SHED END

Predictable predictability and more dropped points I'm afraid

KJS

You were saying, 2-0, hit the post, hit the bar, couple of dodgy offsides and goal mouth scrambles, could of easily been 5 already pal

SHED END

Yep I have to agree.....Looks like Newcastle have the Chelsea script this week!

Looking at our bench today and barring Torres it looks very very weak. Let's hope the Spaniard gets on at some point and puts one or two in the back of the net

Hoorah at last a decent team for the game today, the only change I would make is torres in instead of Drogba.

Here's the team I'd love to see come next february


----------------Cech/courtois------------------
azpiliqueta Cahill ivanovic Bertrand

-----------Romeu-------Ramires------

--hazard -------götze----------mata
---------------lewandowski------------


personally I feel courtois has proven himself enough to be if not to a constant starter thn at least a give Cech some competition . Bertrand should definitely be given his chance . Lewandowski is doing insanely great in the bundles liga for someone his age and lets face it chances are Torres has had it I think it's time to cut our loses and get rid of him


Nova

No bosingwa malouda or meireles today? You've got your wish. Trout

Right boys and girls lets put our different opinions to 1 side today and cheer on our beloved blues (all of them!) CAREFREEE!

Courtios managed to reach 500 minutes unbeaten in la liga during the weekend. Looks mighty promising.

Melbourne CFC

Cant wait have this lad as our keeper

SHED END

Shed do you reckon he is ready to come to the prem? I myself think the summer could be time to give cech a serious challenge for the no.1 spot as he has not been himself the last coupla years! Understandable with the injury he got.

Melbourne CFC

Yeah mate i really rate him, id say hes about on par with cech already, if we put him straight in i dont see there being a De Gea situation, personally id let cech go next year, like you say hes not his self, i think ive read somewhere the swith will be season after next tho

SHED END

^^^switch*

Yer i've seen that Courtious is open to staying in Spain next year. Ed can you shed any light on whether people at Chelsea expect another loan? Cheers

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - It is expected he will stay on loan for another year but nothing is confirmed - and certainly nothing is set for whether it will be in Spain or England.}

Cheers mate

Melbourne CFC

Last time i heard he wanted a loan to the prem

What's the result gonna be today?agree for good disagree for bad. Trout

2-0 for me, i reckon we should be able to keep a clean sheet today!

Melbourne CFC

Got a little suspision we'll put a few in today, no wins in 5, not scoring, its just got to end and we couldnt really ask for a better platform than Bolton at the Bridge, il go 5-1, Mata 2, Cahill, Torres, Essien

SHED END

Then again we could just drop points again
