Club World Cup

[Pablo]

Chelsea v Monterrey kicks off at 10.30am this morning. Live on the BBC, and online.

Anyone going to give it a watch?

[Pablo]

That's a definitive "no" then. Close thread.

Just heard the team read out, very strong sounding line up and formation.

Here it is guys, hot off the press, I know you've all been waiting for it:

Hayley McQueen @HayleyMcQueen
Chelsea Xl for Club World Cup v Monterrey - Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Luiz, Mikel, Oscar, Mata, Hazard,Torres

Come ****ers, it's a football match, on while we're in work!

[Shaggy]

I'll probably watch it

[Vermilion]

tbh i'd forgotten about it till i heard the team read out, and it just made me think, hmmm, sounds like some goals in there...

Depending which Torres turns up, the Chelsea one or the Rafa one.

[Shaggy]

Luiz in midfield?

[Vermilion]

Luiz in midfield?

Holding role it said.

Rests his best player in a local derby saying he's tired then plays him against Nordsssshwhatever and a Mexican pub side. Got to love Rafa.

Would love to see Chelsea win the trophy we haven't got. Hopefully their fans can celebrate with some Heysel chants.

[Pablo]

Looks like it yeah, he was saying that they're lacking another DM (we know he likes two ), looks like he's trialling Sideshow Bob there.

[Dr-Gonzo]

I'll watch. Quite a few footballers I enjoy watching in that side now, as well as Rafa. Pity really.

Luiz in midfield is either going to be a tactical masterstroke, or a Graham Taylor-esque **** up when he played Carlton Palmer there.

[Pablo]

Chelsea have played him in midfield before, definitely, so it's not that crazy an idea.
