Do you think that Chelsea will now offer drogba a new contract that meets his demand of a two year offer although he does not do that every week but he has been scoring goals and Playing well do you think we will?

Good job we still have that dead wood striker the mighty Drog. Shame on you doubters.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Shame he isnt up 4 every game like he was tonight. he showed passion and determination, well happy with that :)

Agree6 Disagree0

Yeah to be honest tonight was his first world class performance on this run. He's been relatively anonymous besides his goals though.

why has AVB been playing drogba instead of torres lately ? i would love to see him start for a change and given a chance to get back into form because he's not gonna do it by sitting on the bench for 70 minutes

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Have u been living on mars u clown, torres has had enough chances to prove himself.
Tonights game is about getting the win not giving torres his chance to prove himself.
I think didi done enough tonight to shut u up.
What a person u r.

Agree6 Disagree0

This was Drogbas first quality game of the season in my opinion. His two goals in this run largely masqueraded his transparency throughout most games.

Agree4 Disagree0

Because Torres is not in the same class as Drogba,and its about winning matches,Drogba is a proven match winner,whereas Torres hasnt performed for ages,AVB got team selection spot on.

On the way to the game listening to talksport. I can't understand why they are making such a big deal about Lampard being dropped to the bench. Yes he's a legend and I appreciate the way he's served us all these years but I really think its time to start to move on. The days of a guaranteed place for Lampard are gone in my opinion. Am I the only one who sees that we move the ball much quicker when Lampard is not on the pitch and I think we are far more impressive IMO.

cech
ivanovic cahill terry cole
essien lampard
hamsik
sturridge torres/drogba mata

subs:
turnbull
bertrand
luiz
romeu
mceachran
piazon
lukaku

Believable0 Unbelievable11

You cant be a fan, Ramires has been one of our best players and hes not even on the bench, Romeu should be starting in there, Lampard needs to play a bit part roll, No miereles anywhere, the subs are way to young, no match winners or attacking options, back to the drawing board mate

Agree7 Disagree0

Exactly and 2 holding players lol hamsik yes plz, perfect lampard replacement. romeu is makin the holding mid his own place atm. and luiz and terry with ivanovic looked pretty good 2nyt not playin that hi line. how can u kick ramires lol

Agree4 Disagree0

06 Dec 2011 16:31:17
will lukaku be going out on loan this january or will he be brought up to the first team instead of buying a new striker ? {Ed002's Note - Nothing is decided about a loan, it depends who leaves.}

Chelsea looked so much better with the flat back four at the weekend, Cole, Ivanovic and David Luiz were all much more disciplined with there forward runs; when they did go forward Romeu filled in with similar discipline. Romeu has surly nailed down the holding role ahead of Mikel now; hasn't he? Taking those five players into consideration I don't expect to see many changes there in January, maybe a right back in the Summer when Bosingwa (as I expect him to) leaves, but nothing else. Alex will need to be replaced and we may see a move for Gary Cahill bit if that doesn't come off I also expect this to be left till the summer. My biggest wish would be for Hutchinson and Chalobah to progress into the first team over the next 6-12 months.
If not for Sturridge then Ramires would be my player of the year so far, I've seen him described as the future of the Chelsea midfield and hope he remains there for a long way into the future; Lampard is another matter. Lampard is a legend at the club, no doubting that, however the time is coming for AVB to show a bit of ruthlessness and look for the long term replacement. Does this need to happen in January? Is Modric going to be available in January? Is any player capable of replacing one of, if not the, best midfielders club has seen going to be available? I can't see it! With the return of Essien the midfield is OK. If however Tottenham do ring us wanting to do a deal for Modric, or Napoli suddenly decide Hamsik is free to leave (something about a snowball in hell) then maybe a deal in January will be done.
Sturridge and Mata have been outstanding so far, however they do need help. This is an area i expect to see strengthened in January, a squad player who can operate on either flank; further strengthening will be made in the summer when Malouda moves on. Kevin de Bruyne looks to be one of these signings; Walcott has also been mentioned however a little bit of rumour control may need to be exercised there.
Anelka as good as gone, Drogba going, Lukaku needing some time and Torres...i need say no more. A striker is our biggest need for January; I've been praying every night for Cavani but can't see it materialising. I like Llorente at Bilbao but, to my knowledge, we haven't been linked to him; AVB is going to have to pull something out of the bag here!
As a general rule I think the people who expect four or five players to arrive in January are way off; one or two (winger & striker) is a more accurate expectation. Are January signings going to win us the league or Champions League? No! We are way off that at the moment, top four is where we have to aim. AVB constantly talk about the three year plan, its apparent that Chelsea have made a commitment to this; and they need to see it through. Changes will be made in the summer and then we just need to look for progression, following that we can ask questions as to any challenges for major silverware, or a lack of challenge.

I keep reading post's on here regarding peoples thinking that Gary cahill is the answer to our defensive problems. I find this staggering , 8 months ago everyone was raving about luiz being the best centre half prospect in the world and after a injured start to the season then not being able to get in the side , now a few rash , irratic decisions regarding tackles , suddenly he's not better than Gary cahill. Luiz is quicker than cahill , scores more goals , 100 times better on the ball and distribution than Gary.
Give the lad time to settle down and he'll be the best ball playing CB in the country. By the end of the season all the luiz haters will be eating there words.

Believable8 Unbelievable1

I and I would guess, many others, don't believe Cahill to be a replacement for Luiz, on the contrary Luiz will become a world class centre half, no I want Cahill to replace Terry.

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Dec 2011 13:00:43
The team tonight will be.
Cech
Ivan , luiz , Terry , Cole
Rameries , romeau , lamps
Sturridge , drog , mata.

Why play torres when he's not looked like scoring ( as much as I want him to succeed ).
Play drogba , use him as a battering ram against there 2 centre halfs which will free up some space for sturridge to get in behind and for franks trademark runs late into the box and to feed of didiers knockdowns.
Defend well and we'll win the game , defend poorly and Europa here we come.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

U guessed ear on ryt my friend. even tho i think lamps was menna start but it gt changed 2 meireles. is this AVB? lol

Agree1 Disagree0

No I'm not AVB , wish I had his wage packet tho! It's just obivious to me that he was guna play drogba instaed of nando , even at 80 per cent fit he offers more than torres does at the moment, if we get the correct players in to suit torres's game then we should see the real torres, even tho I'm not holding my breath that he will ever be a 30 goal a season man that we need to dominate epl and champs league.

The team for tonight's game should be

************Cech************

Ivanovic****Luiz**Terry****Cole

***********Romeu***********

*******Ramires**Mereiles******

Sturridge*****Torres*****Mata

What do you guys think?

3-1 to Chelsea tonight with the front 3 getting the goals

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Spot on mate, this seems to be 90% of fans standard starting team, Fingers crossed a torres start

ZOLA

Agree3 Disagree0

I believe Drogba will start, although I would like Torres to start.

Agree4 Disagree1

I garuntee with this front 6 Torres will have at least one point. I'm still trying to figure out how he got robbed at the mestailla so many times. {Ed002's Note - I don't expect Torres or Merieles to start. Drogba and Lampard.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Why would you want torres to start ? He's playing poorly and his first touch and pace have gone missing. I want him to succeed as much as anyone but 2 goals vs genk and 1 vs Swansea doesn't fill me with much hope of notching vs Valencia. Anyway it's all about us defending well , we will score , it's just keeping them out.

Ed, is there any interest in Dijon midfielder Benjamin Corgnet? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have watched him, but that is all.}
