Chelsea build-up

[danperkins]

Two draws and two wins from the next four would be absolutely brilliant, under the circumtances.

very much so mate

[danperkins]

For this game only I would like to see the back four kept the same as previous league games, introducing Johnson on right mid and switch Maxi over to the left in Cole's absence. for future games I would like to see Glen back to right back.

------------Reina
Carra - Skrtel - Soto - Konk
------Lucas - Meireles
Johnson -- Gerrard -- Maxi
------------Torres

So Malouda is out & Lampard not recovered in time which is both good news, but Terry is back and Essien has shook off a toe injury which is bad news.

Malouda is not out he is fit for the game

Nightmare are you sure mate? Prob my bad for buying into Ancellotti comments that Malouda won't make the game.

Reports today claim Malouda is in and Lampard out, the complete opposite of what they said yesterday..

Disaster, Ancellotti keeping us guessing anyways.

[Neil Young]

I wasn't listening closely but I think Ancelotti today suggested he has to choose between Malouda and Kalou for one spot. And two others for another.

He confirmed nine starters: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Anelka, Drogba, er and um.

11/4

Biggest price ever to win at home!

Alex and Essien?

[danperkins]

Pace everywhere in that Chelsea, whether its Kalou or Malouda starting still a mare. Scary stuff!

[Neil Young]

Alex and Essien?

He definitely named Zhirkov as a starter. I think Essien is the other doubt, with probably Ramires as the alternate.

I think the other starter probably was Alex.

Sorry, I'll pay more attention to SSN in future.

Don't do it. That ****'ll rot your brain. Essien out, good for LFC but bad for my fantasy team.

[Neil Young]

Don't worry, I had no intention of doing so really. It's f*cking terrible.

I was watching it waiting for Rafa's PC to appear. Then I remembered.

I don't think I'll ever get over this summer.

Lampard out, if Essien doesnt make it either, that'll be a massive boost.

Malouda's obviously a threat, and i'd rather Kalou played. Drogba and Anelka are always going to be a massive threat of course, and they're powerful at the back.

If Essien's out as well as Lampard, we can potentially win the midfield battle.
