Blatter

Looking forward to seeing Romeu later in the extended highlights.

Strong team out for Chelsea, who should win relatively comfortably. Don't like Malouda, I don't think he's good enough. Torres to run riot imo. He's been coming into form and will be really up for this game as he hasn't played in a while.

Malouda suits more of a direct style of football. I don't think he fits naturally into Chelsea's new style, he was probably one of our best players the year we won the league but I don't think he's comfortable in the new system. Was hoping Mata would start tbh, just so Torres could link up.

Would be raging if he got injured in a game like this.

Can't wait to see De Bruyne.

WTF does Josh have to do to get a game.

Interested to see how Jelle Vossen gets on up against top defenders

He was good in 09/10 alright but I think he was poor enough last year even though ye were by and large playing the same style as the previous year when he was playing well.

I think he has a poor attitude tbh, that's just the impression I get from him on the pitch.

I'd agree about the attitude.

SlipperyPeople

good ball in early on by de brunye hoping to get a look at what he can do



and ray wilkins has already gotten our evening of "my words" off to a good start

SlipperyPeople

torres hits the post jaysus he has no luck

he shouldn't have taken a touch though

Lukker-

Poor fella.

SlipperyPeople

yay meireles! 25 yards

Lukker-

Super strike, but he had so much time to place it.

Lukker-

Good boy.

Typical - Torres scores and I miss it!

homer simpson

torres is looking lively tonight, whereas luiz is looking horrible been caught napping a few times at the back already. Some of his "tackles" have been just horrible, he is all over the shop.

I'm usually amungst his biggest fans too!

Lukker-

Aside from one misplaced pass at the start, Romeu has been great, seems to be winning everything.

His tackling has been poor, but his passing has been immense tonight! He must of played 3 or 4 inch perfect long balls to Torres or Malouda.

Torres gets his second with a nice header.

homer simpson

Great goal Torres! The 2 ex-liverpool lads linking up nicely!

But here's the thing, I'm all for him playing loads and loads of great passes but he is still playing CB thats not the job he seems to be suited for if he was playing midfeild i'd say he was playing well but he isn't.

Sgt Pepper 64

Wow, we look sharp and up for it tonight!

Torres is BACK and how. Got some form going now, goals and assists consective games

Agree about Luiz, maybe needs to be a midfielder!

Meireles playing well as well

and De Bruyne showing why he could be a shrewd buy

MUSEIST

Torres should already have a hat trick, he hit the post early on. Go on torres, grab a few more:D

Lukker-

Luiz is a bit naive still but he'll learn. He just excites me everytime he gets on the ball. If we are going to embrace this system we will need ball playing CB's as much as we need ball playing midfielders. With such a high line its important that your CB's are very comfortable on the ball.

Lukker-

Ivan with a header.

AgileMyth

Torres is brilliant to watch when hes playing well. I've missed that.

Easily his best game for us so far - bodes well for the future
But where is Josh?

Blatter

Future News: Fernando Torres transfer fee declared ‘a bargain’.

GavRedKing

Could be 6 or 7 by the end. Ferriera on. :pac:

Sgt Pepper 64

At least Nando knows he will play the 90

GavRedKing

Hope cole is ok for the weekend.

Will he though?? Might as well give drogba a run and try get him ready for the weekend.

I wanna see Mata too.

Lukker-

Greedy.

Hank Scorpio

malouda greedy there

GavRedKing

Frank should have stayed down he would have got a peno.

the_monkey

I see RTE showing their usual anti Chelsea stance by showing the Arsenal game...

GavRedKing

Romeu and meireles have worked quite well so far. Two good performances.

GavRedKing

Torres should have scored. Well done kalou though.

GavRedKing

Romeu has been my MoTM anyway tonight.

De bruyne has been genks most impressive player.

They're probably more pro-viewership figures than anti-Chelsea tbh.

True, theres more Arsenal fans then Chelsea fans. If Utd had been playing tonight theyed show that game over Arsenal for instance.

Sgt Pepper 64

Nice to see the 2 ex-liverpool lads playing and scoring in the CL
