Forgot to mention Hutch so much to think about over the weekend.
Delighted for the boy. Also happy to Bosi do a good job at CB.
Another note, you could see the importance of Mata in our midfield once he was taken off and replaced by Malouda. We had no link between our midfield and attack.
Im gonna have to look at any remaining Breman games to keep and eye on our German Messi

There was an occasion when Malouda had made a great run through the middle and ended up shanking a shot wide with his right leg that if he had a played a reverse ball Torres was in the clear for his 4th.
Torres made some good runs into the box and held his position at the edge and I think only Ramires pulled one back for him that Taiwo made a great block from, but Torres done the same thing a few times in the match.
Mata made us tick yesterday, his first touch brought him out of trouble on a few occasions and QPR really struggled to get to grips with the little guy.
Mata in the hole against Bayern hopefully will give him a chance to play more football then he did over the 2 legs against Barca and dicatate play better but playing against schweinstieger and probably Kross/Tymshuck (sp) will prove harder then playing QPR. :pac:0 -

Part in bold makes good reading.
Chief creator Juan Mata felt early goals were decisive in Sunday's west London derby against Queens Park Rangers.
Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring for us inside a minute before John Terry's header from Mata's corner opened the floodgates, with Fernando Torres helping himself to a hat-trick and substitute Florent Malouda rounding off the scoring for the home side.
Mata also provided two of Torres's goals, taking his assist count to 13 in the Barclays Premier League this season. No other player has more.
'It was a very good game for us. We enjoyed it from the first minute with Danny's goal,' said Mata, who turned 24 on Saturday. 'The first and second goals, that one from the corner were very important for us, and we had more space to play our passes after that. We played very well and 6-1 is a great result.
'We had confidence from that first goal and after Fernando did a great job I am very happy for him. We are fighting to reach the third and fourth positions, which are where we are aiming.'
The former Valencia player now looks forward to an important period for the club.
'For the team, there are two or three very crucial weeks,' he said. 'On Wednesday we have a massive game against Newcastle, now we are one point behind them, the new have the FA Cup final, an amazing game for our supporters, so we are looking forward and hopefully we will win.'0 -

Kerry branch have a strong showing alright, the Limerick branch are vey active too, if my Chelsea Ticket thread gets sorted we can throw all our plans into that and keep the thread cluster free.
I dont think we'll get this thread renamed, it will throw alot of non-Chelsea fans off if they're casually searching for Chelsea threads. :pac:
Maybe we can edit the Ticket thread to Boards Blues - Chelsea Ticket Thread. 0 -

If its up and around €30 + million then that wil frighten a few teams off.
I'd be sketchy of paying that much for him but he is a real class act.
TBF to De Bruyne, he was happy to stay at Genk, for a few reasons but I'd think sending him on loan when we sign Hazard and Marin could have him worried.
On the same hand it could be better for him to get regular game time as Hazard's replacement as opposed to sitting on the bench and fighting with Marin for a wide spot.
I do think we'll see Drogba gone this year and Torres/Sturddige fighting for the CF position and having Marin/Hazard/De Bruyne/Mata would be a dream come true.
That sounds good for next season, with a couple of more signings and RDM as manager we are sorted 0 -

Yeah sick to the back teath of these types of players we're better off finding some reasonably priced jems like Mata with the very odd marquee buy to add spice as for the rest of these overpaid ponces city can have em after all you can only put 11 of them in the team on any given day.gavredking wrote: »Sgt Pepper 64 wrote: »gavredking wrote: »All depends on what value Lille put on Hazard as well.

Looking forward to the Newcastle game now, a win will set us up nicely for the FA Cup Final.
Do you think Chelsea will rest any players tomorrow night?
I'm interested from a betting perspective

Honestly, I dont think we will.
RDM still wants us to finish 4th as we cant rely on the UCL final to gain entry to the competition next year.
I wrote on the match thread that I expect a similar team to the one that played against Newcastle QPR and a few would return.
Ramires, Ivanovic, Mikel.
So I think we'll go with :
Cech
Bos Ivan JT Cole
Lamps Mikel
Sturridge Mata Ramires
Torres0 -
I think your line up is spot on gav
We will play our strongest squad tommoro, we need maximum points for the remainder of the season. We should win this one and add to our momentum going into the FA cup final on sat.
I still think away to Liverpool will be a masive test for us and could be a decider on weather we can make 4th spot.
My Money is on spurs to finish 4th us 5th but we will win the CL
Terry, Meireles, Ramires, Ivanovic must be used in every game posible.
We will need to ensure we have Mata Torres Drogba Cole Lampard Mikel Cech Bosingwa all fit for the CL final. If we can add Cahill and Luiz to this will be a massive boost. The likes of Oriel and Bertrand should make the bench in CL final, image the expeirence for these young lads!0 -

Definietly. We need all the players that are not suspended for the UCL final fit and raring to go, akthough if you cant get motivated for a UCL I dont know what you'll get up for. :pac:
Spurs are in the drivers seat, a win for us will put us in 4th until Spurs play agina, by which team we could be 4th and after winning the FA Cup. 0 -

I just seen that actually, but we're playing 15 minutes before them so 4th is ours for a small while if we win.
Spurs have not been play as well as they were earlier in the season, the results and perforamcnes have dried up a bit of late but you'd expect them to do the business at Bolton.
On the other hand, this is Bolton's game in hand and 3 points here could put them out of the relegation zone.0
