Mata on the bench.

No teamsheets put up yet, so reporting from BBC:

Chelsea v Wigan (1500 GMT)
BREAKING: Fernando Torres starts for Chelsea with Demba Ba on the bench. Frank Lampard is captain.

Mr.Prodston

Mata's on the bench Hazard in! Oh and Ba on bench naturally.

Iused2likebusts

SpaceCowb0y

No Cameron for Stoke and NO MATA for **** sake Benitez you dick! not going well already ha!

Rayne Wooney

When will the fat waiter realise that Chelsea are nothing without Mata!

I hope they lose, as they did before when Mata was left out.

Rayne Wooney

Go back to bed for the next ten minutes please:pac:

Nick Riviera

Was hopeful for this week up until 5 minutes ago. No Mata and now Bale is nailed on for 20+ points.

Pretty much 100%

I knew the 1-week gamble of Bale to Gerrard was a bit of a risk but to say I have been severely punished is an understatement. Cest la vie. Stevie needs to repay the faith big time.

I've Stevie G captain so you're guaranteed 4 points from the two games :pac:

Mata could still come in and score. Positive attitude needed :cool:. And of course Gerrard to score 5 at least over the 2 games :pac:...

Jimmy Iovine

What does Benitez hope to achiever by putting Mata on the bench? He's a strange chap. I have Anichebe first sub. Wouldn't be all that disappointed if he came on in the event of Mata getting no minutes.

S.M.B.

Mata has a virus. He probably shouldn't be even on the bench.

manual_man

balls balls balls Walcott-Gerrard was the ideal transfer but didn't want to lose .5 on Walcott(bought at 8.5) only to transfer him back in straight after

Lemlin

Bale just denied a hat trick.

Would be a great week now for me if Gerrard did nothing.

Mr.Prodston

Samba is first sub for Mata, Kebe is 2nd sub so I hope he doesn't go nuts again until next GW

Gerrard needs to go mental. Cursing taking out Bale now, but money forced my hand

Yes sir. I'll sleep in till 10 and hopefully wake up to a hattrick.

Nick Riviera

Cabaye should've seen red for that tackle on Dembele, he easily could've broken his ankle.

manual_man

ah jayses. 7 minutes of injury time. make it stop

Mr.Prodston

Livermore should have given Bale an assist there :mad:

Santi101

bale lol

Nick Riviera

Bale misses a sitter!:D

Mr.Prodston

Bale missed an open goal :eek:

Mr.Prodston

Can we have another 7 minutes please?

Fowler87

Urgghh Bale.
