Chelsea build-up

[danperkins]

Lampard still isn't back either which is a bonus, got a feeling Torres is going to grab a couple today , however I think Chelsea may score 4 or more

We need Torres on form, fully firing Torres can give Terry a nightmare. Delighted lampard didn't make it, loves scoring against us the git.

Dreading our defence against them. Cannot see us keep a clean sheet regardless of score. We definitely need to start better than we have in previous games.

Cheers mate, so the personnel seems right just were their going to play is the question?

Obvious would be Kuyt out right and Merieles behind Torres. I'm shocked Kuyt has made it back for this game and is starting. No way he'll last the game.

Have we really go nobody who can actually play left mid today

I like Kelly but I can see Malouda, Kalou or even Anelka ripping him to shreads

I hear ya mate lets hope that doesn't happen

[SimonNo7]

No Drogba or Essien

[SimonNo7]

why does Roy hate babel so much? at least he is capable of flashes of brilliance more so than jova for sure.

He doesn't he's saving him for the Twitter team where he is much more prolific.

Only one of our best players in the last two league games, and the persom who scored from left midfield last time.

From watching the way our team is set up this season, I think it's quite predictable. Hodgson doesn't like playing one up front, he's been forced to do it because we're very thin in the striker position. He also does not see Kuyt as a RW.

I stand corrected.

Not how I would have liked to see us set up. Come on Roy prove me wrong.

Dirk.
