Pool go through in the end thanks to what I have to say were exceptional goals and that's difficult to say! It was what was needed to beat the Bolton keeper though, he'd a stormer.

GavRedKing

Fair play to them considering all the epl sides gone to lower level teams.

GavRedKing

Dortmund bottom of Bundesliga. Crazy scenes after the game.

So lets play a game of who wants Reus :pac:

Would cost big money.....if we're going down big money CB signing it should be varane and no one else.

Caveman1

I think a lot of praise for our recent transfer window success should go to Michael Emenalo too, I know he was pretty much hated when fist brought in, one thing I noticed too when we beat Liverpool last week, Jose ran straight to Emenalo and hugged him, fair play to him after a rocky start to his career at Chelsea.

I'd prefer not to bring in Hummels if we can pursue Varane, arguably Varane will command a larger fee but you never know what Real will do in the summer.

Maybe try and appeal to Carlo and the player himself that his future is better served with us.

with Costa out too there goes my FF

GavRedKing

Arsenal hit Villa for 5 last week and that was without Sanchez and it could have been more.

We should be beating Villa but sometimes its not that simple, I'm not pushed about the goals scored right now so any win will do IMO.

duploelabs

Well i know we've a pretty hefty GD but why not extend it by a bit more

GavRedKing

Oh of course, even winning by 2 or more would be nice and given the squad we have its something we should be pushing for but I'm just worried how we play away from home, its not good enough, IMO.

We need a good run of away wins.

Away to villa - thats a potential banana skin ..

I’m expecting Villa to continue their record of not scoring this weekend. Can’t see them being a threat this weekend tbh.

I thought the same last year and they won.

I wont mention the decisions but that game still annoys me to this day.

Ref on Saturday

Referee: Neil Swarbrick Assistants: S Ledger, M Salisbury Fourth Official: K Friend

GavRedKing

Villa havent scored in 6 league games, they havent won in the last 8.

Theyve had 2 0-0 draws at home in that sequence to Sunderland and Palace.

They will lift themselves for us, wait and see..... they have a pretty good record against us in the Abramovich era..

They have beaten us 6 times since 2003, drawn 7 times and we've beaten them 12 times. Thats a poor record for us.

They are a bit of a bogey team.

Bobby Baccala

You lot should do away with villa quite easily, if you watched the arsenal game their 2 centre halves just were not in touch with eachother at all, always leaving a chasm between them. I imagine remy will be starting up front? He has the pace and power to take advantage of that poor defence all day.

They're unbelievably toothless up front atm too. Home or away chelsea should win this one any day

Ya I watched the Arsenal game, it was like a pre-season friendly for large parts, Villa had nothing going for them at all.

I'm still a bit wary of it, as pointed out, its not been a happy hunting ground for us over the years.

Team will likely be

T-bo
Ivan Zouma JT Azp
Matic Ramires
Willian OScar Hazard
Remy

Maybe Cuadrado plays if Willian isnt fit, if Cesc is fit, Ramires drops to the bench.

Bobby Baccala

Benteke really doesn't look up for it in that villa team at the moment, they're not using him right imo, should be taking advantage of his aerial ability but he's getting no service, just can't see where the goals could come from for them this weekend.

At least if Cesc does not play Swarbrick can't cut out his through balls, ala Stoke.

GavRedKing

Ah we've done well to get Cuadrado.

Jose has identified who he wants and who he doesnt and we;ve sold and bought excellently and not paid over the odds, apart from Willian during Joses time, IMO.

Wrongway1985

I would like to confirm that Frank Lampard is STILL and always will be a Chelsea legend.

I died a little inside too when I saw that gombean who supposedly supports the club mock our record goalscorer.

GavRedKing

You get idiots everywhere.

Frank will be the 1st to congratulate the team when we win the league.

GavRedKing

Yes Cuadrado played many many more games but hopefully he hits the ground running.

GHOST MGG

dont forget..mourinho has never beaten villa at villa park....and villa are due a win.

Villa are due a goal, start small.

Maybe they'll win, I'd seriously doubt it, even with 2 big players missing from us.

This was before the game, had a few cameras going up to him as well, his 2mins of fame was deserved.

TBH, Lamps got a decent reception, Drogbas was much more vocal and supportive which I imagine would have somewhat hurt Lamps.

For me, theres more of a majority who wish Lamps well than would boo one of, if not the greatest Chelsea player.

Seen that, what an absolute c#¥£.
I can understand how an article like that can Get printed.

GavRedKing

Ball boys at home grounds do sometime play a part in a game and can slo down games.

That Swansea ball "boy" deserved a proper punt, the fact that Hazard got banned over it was a joke, imagine had Jose been in charge when that happened, there would have been war.

GavRedKing

Its only Goal, but its a decent read about the new man Cuadrado.

Joses presser starts at 2.30

So apparently Cuadrado turned down Utd for Chelsea.

a little brucey bonus

grumpymunster

TSHO playing silly buggers with press, asked where Cuadrado will play answered wont be in goal or central defence as he is too small.

peteeeed

Mourinho asked about Zouma + Varane: "I think the French federation should write a letter to thank me for two best defenders in world."
