What's everyone's lines ups for Wednesday against Swansea,, no mikel and no Moses and no terry or Cech

Turnbull
Cesar. Ivanovic. Cahill. Cole

Luiz

Hazard. Oscar. Mata

BA. Torres

After seeing ba's movement today with him and Torres up front I can't see Swansea defenders coping with both up front and would like us to really go get this one in first leg,,

Would like to see frank in the starting line up

--------------Turnbull----------------

Azpil-----Cahill--------Iva-------cole

----------luiz----------Lamps-------

Rami------------Mata----------Hazard

Ba

We sadly can't get Torres out of the team, can we?

heres a question,

would you rather have sold torres back to liverpool for the 12 mil or sell sturridge for 12 mil?

agree if you would have sold torres.

disagree if you would have sold studge.

cali

ps... im agreeing

How do I reply to sell both?

05 Jan 2013 18:12:01
Lampard, lok at scholes and giggs, lampard is better {Ed018's Note - much better}

Because hes much younger? {Ed018's Note - sure, he has been the best midfielder in the league over the last 10 years}

Er gerrard??

05 Jan 2013 17:48:58
Should benitez stay on? Agree for yes disagree for no

I am not fan of rafa but in all honestly who are we going to get in.. Pep doesn't want job, roman won't take Jose back,,, cappello, rijkard, ?? I'd like to see a good German manager,
Mattm {Ed018's Note - I would have Klopp. He's done well at Dortmund}

Klopp would be my choice to., plays same system as us, 4231, and is disciplined and organised.. I like low but he won't leave his post as German national team, maybe bring lewondoski or goatze lol what did u think of Ba's debut today,, considering he doesn't know the players to well and way some play he was always in right place.. Mattm {Ed018's Note - Ba played well. Of course it will take a bit of time to learn how the other players play and he will develop a better understanding as time goes on but certainly a great start to his Chelsea career}

Rafa's not doing to bad give him a chance for god's sake.

RAFA THE GAFFER.

Klopp or rijkard for me. klopp a preference but i think rijkard would be more likely

Rafa for me

Keep it going rafa the team seems to be more organised now than when di matteo was here people will disagree but it the truth like it or not.

Hope your here nrext season rafa your doing a superb job me old son. CHELSEA FOREVER.

Liverpool fan here

honestly believe rafa will be great for you if given a chance

one thing he spots great young talent early had aguero lined up for liverpool, ronaldo falcao torres but we never had the ching ching...that wont be a problem for you guys.

plus his sides are tactically well disciplined with potency in attack. he could well win you the league maybe even the champions league again

Here's an idea, with Victor Moses going to the african cup of nation, and Rafa Benitez almost never playing Hazard, oscar, and Mata together (one always be's on the bench)

how about torres replaces Moses for the time being on the wing

Cech/Turnbull

Cesar - Ivan - Cahill - Cole

Lampard - Luiz

Torres - Mata - Hazard

DEMBA BA!

Imo, ramires instead of lampard, oscar better than torres at that position..well done demba ba!

Dnt want torres anywhere near the team let alone out wide

Pinky shame no one listens to you

No point buying falcao if we still got torres, i think torres is good but would like it if we sold torres to buy falcao, but pointless having both

Don't think it's a problem look at Utd and City.

A11

Give me 200k a week and i would sit in east upper after 8 cans of tennants

We need more than 2 strikers. man u and city have such league success because they can continually call on goalscorers regardless of injury or tiredness.

Torres doesn't score tho

Torres doesn't score? is that why he is chelseas top scorer this season?

05 Jan 2013 16:55:12
Good news...

Conor Hunte has agreed a new deal with Chelsea, for those of you who don't know he's a 16 year old midfielder who Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City were looking at poaching off us - very good prospect.

Surewould

Seen him play for the U19's the boys has bundles and is very sharp. Has loads of potential lets hope we give him the chance to develop further.

Where is he from

05 Jan 2013 16:48:37
Someone has to get a petition going or something to just show how RA that Lamps has got to stay, 193 goals and many more too come.

Kinky Shane

Ferreira still here, keep lamps, coaching, ambassador, keeeeeep lamps and terry

05 Jan 2013 16:32:33
You lot on this site are like a woman in a shoe shop, buy buy buy, we have a good team, fellaini would be the only player i would get now, itd not just about having a strong squad its about letting players play, torres and ba are gonna be fed up on the bench all the time, we have a strong squad, swap mikel with fellaini, get moyes in and we are world beaters

Only want Cavani and Fellaini in the summer and another centre half

CfcBenWxm

Hahah "only" cavani, fellaini and a cb. that would cost well over 60 million

05 Jan 2013 16:26:50
Now that is what i mean, would Torres have been where BA was, no, What a finish

FINISH IT OFF DEMBA BA

Azpicueta and Moses cost £14 million between them. What great business that was eh lads?
Cheap, young and potential to be world class!
Keep the faith, going for 1-4 to us! Ba to score a hat-trick and run Southampton ragged!
EH17
P.S Ba doesn't look too sheepish today does he? He isn't being a lamb and baacking out? (how many more sheep/Ba puns can we get? ;) )

Very good business, fantastic steals IMO

Billy

05 Jan 2013 16:06:40
Sorry *Azpilicueta!
Been here 6 months and still can't spell his name! XD
EH17

I have difficulties with ba too

It's nice ain't it. 21m and we got azpilcueta Moses BA

05 Jan 2013 15:52:10
Right, BA Is definitely what we need

See after every shot, BA Is there just to tap it in, a real poacher, like Hernandez but a more complete player, I see a very good second half coming for Chelsea

Also AZPILICUETA, What a signing


Billy

05 Jan 2013 15:50:13
I really hope we don't miss Moses when he's gone, he is so powerful, direct and skillful, brilliant cheap signing.

A11

I agree, we somehow need to find out how to play Oscar aswell, I'm going for this against weaker ( not strong ) teams

Cech
Az-Ivan-Cahill-cole
Oscar-luiz
Moses-mata-haz
BA

Imagine this agains weaker teams, reading norwich ect

Billy

He has potential! He still lacks a lot of basic movement and team abilities. BLUEBOY1

05 Jan 2013 15:22:25
Hey everyone,

I'm guessing after the game everyone will have. Go at BA"s link up play but please remember give him a chance and he will get used to the team and will be excellent in games to come.

Billy

I think even after just one training session he is linking up with the team better than Torres ever has. Actually competes for long balls as well.

Guys, Anyone know if Ba can play on Wednesday against Swansea? Or is he cup-tied.. Thought i read somewhere he was avaliable but that doesnt make sense! Thanks

He can play in capital one cup he is not cup tied. IANCFC.

Ed 002/Ed018 Has something happened to deter you from posting again?
If so surely a simple membership enrolment where an email and name is required would weed out the persons?
Anyway HNY to you both.
S.S.

First time poster although I check this site daily, great idea and simple to implement, that way the many do not suffer, and I include the Eds in that comment, for the mindless stupidity of the few. And a message to the few who spoil this site for the many true Chelsea fans who enjoy it. Either get a life or crawl back under the rock you came from. Easy to hide behind a keyboard isnt it. And to the Eds there is a delete button and Im sure that regular abusers IP addresses are known and can be blocked. Things must have got serious for me to take to the keyboard XChris Same age as Ed 2

How do you know its the no name poster that are causing distress.

XChris - welcome young man

Puzzled

How do u know ur the same same age
