Re: The Knee Jerk reaction thread.

Yes, if I were managing Chelsea I would have brought on Josh for Lamps, DL4 for Bosingwa, switch Ivanovic to rb. And Romeu for Meireles or Torres for Anelka.

[lszanto]

Yep, I really didn't understand the subs, everybody is saying how good/sharp chelsea look so he subs off the 2 players making that happen :S

[Kick]

All I hope for is he doesn't do the same against united.

[lszanto]

Well with the big week we having coming up I guess we can sort of justify the subs, we want maximum time for them in all games, but CL/manu is more important than that game, especially 2 up.

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

Anyone else the AVB could be 'saving' Josh for United next week? So far he has given our youngsters Debuts almost one at a time. Maybe he was Josh fresh for united incase we need him. It's the only logical explaination IMO.

I appreciate your optimism. However everyone knows that will not happen.

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

I'm not concerned about subs. We have CL on Tuesday so he needs to swap things around, I understand that.

Plus as long as we win I'm not complaining about subs.

[lszanto]

True, I was pretty upset with the late goal though.

[Kick]

I wouldcrather win with Josh playing though....

[iNFINITY9910]

I still have faith in Torres.. he is improving. Slowly but still he is getting better. Hope he starts on Tuesday with Mata n McE.

Cech
Bosingwa - Luiz - Terry - Cole
Mikel
Meireles - McEachran
Sturridge - Lukaku - Mata

Would Romp Bayer IMO. 3 0 if we played that line up.

What no Lampard? ZAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

BTW don't forget Lukaku can't play in the group stages at least.

I'm starting to not like that guy. I have defended him in the GS I know, but I'm starting to believe that he needs to offer more. I'm going back to my past opinion that it is useless to play with 7 defensive players (Mikel+Ramires+Defense), as it is evident now.

EDIT: OK, OK someone's going to get upset that I said Ramires is defensive, but he clearly does not add much in terms of play going forward.

Ramires needs to be rested for MU. I love the guy, don't doubt that. He can't play every game though.

Forgot Luaku can't play, I guess Torres should go there unless Drogba gets fully fit.

Ramies is not defencive, what are you talking about, he is b2b, he is one of the first ones forward and back. He just doesn't get invloved in build up play enough. Go watch his proformence last night again.

[lszanto]

It won't be Drogba, i'm fairly sure for him to even be in the squad for MU he'll be pushing it to recover in time, so I doubt we'd risk him for Bayern.

[Kick]

Yes, maybe Torres was saved today because Bayer are better than Sunderland?

[Kick]

Actually that make sense as to why Mata and Sturridge were taken off after we were leading. Save them for midweek, could also explain the lack of Mikel, DL4 and Josh. We will see.

[lszanto]

I guess time will tell. I'm looking forward to actually being able to watch us in decent quality in CL, getting sick of poor streaming quality

[Kick]

I got foxtell because of the poor streaming, now I watch every game without problems. Yes I am wasting $30 a month on Chelsea games, Parents a paying other half.

[lszanto]

I would pay $30 a month but my parents aren't interested in helping pay at all so I don't really have any other option. I can sometimes get to friends houses to watch but usually end up trying to find a decent stream. Foxtel is so overpriced though when all I want to watch is Soccer

[Kick]

Yeah, I know, $60 a month for like 10 sport channels and a few others is way overpriced, luckily my dad loves sport too so he is willing to pay.

Got lucky there, my brother would pay but we can't really afford $30 a month each. Just looked up sbs schedule, not showing Chelsea

[Kick]

Oh that sucks, dortmund arsenal instead?

[lszanto]

Yes sir. At least there will only be 2 games on, and fewer games usually means more streams

[Kick]

Yeah, dortmund arsenal should be a good game though.
