Your Favourite Chelsea XI of All Time

Cech - no explanations necessary

Branislav Ivanovic - ever since his CL brace against pool, he officially became awesome. Actually, I look up to him as a player when I play football as well so he making this list is easy

David Luiz - whats there not to like about him?

John Terry - to me, he's one of the best leaders we ever had. Another reason is that I just love the fact that he does a lot of dirty tricks () and still doesn't get caught. Not diving or anything like that. But his composure during rough tackles and him able to stop play illegally and get away with it.

Ashley Cole - best Left Back in the world right now. Best LB we ever had. He may have come from Arsenal but replacing him in the future is going to be a very, very difficult task.

Frank Lampard - I love his composure, style of play and his dedication to Chelsea. Really depressed about him losing form but he is going to retire soon

Michael Ballack - One of the reasons why our midfield was once considered the most tough and best midfield of England and in Europe. His power on the pitch was never truly replaced. One of my favorite midfielders of all time.

Michael Essien - Forget his injuries and current form. Remember the time when we had no fear with him in as the DM? The time he put all the major names in his pocket? The time he made Gerrard toothless and won us matches? And his Arsenal goal?

Zola - Legend. One of the few players you wish were ageless to play for you forever.

Robben - With no injuries and on form, he owned the left flank. Makes Malouda look like a ball boy. I'd have put Mata but extremely premature right? Hope he does in the future though

Didier Drogba - My favourite Chelsea player of all time. (have i said that already ). The most complete forward in the world. Lukaku may look like him and have his strength. But his passion, his technique, his power, skill and accuracy can never be matched. Not by him, or by any player in the world. He'd have won the Ballon dOr every time had we been lucky (or good enough) in the CL

Whats yours?

Reasons: Cech, obivous one for me, IMO our best ever GK.

Petrescu: can't spell his name but he is a joy to watch, came in as an RB, left a winger.

Luiz: most entertaining CB I have seen in a long time.

Terry, our best ever CB.

Cole, amazing attacking FB.

Lampard, he was my favourite player for a long time, no chelsea team is complete without him.

McEachran, I tell this boy has a future, I already love watching him.

Robben, only spent three seasons with us but left a legend, a joy to watch.

Zola, if you are wondering why he is here you need to get out of this section.

Mata, next Zola. Plus, I love screaming Mataaaaaaaa when he scores.

Drogba, whether it is swearing at the camera or ripping united a new one, he is amazing to watch.

Pertrescu was awesome to watch, i've been watching a few older matches and he tore up with very delicate passing, chips and a few very nice goals.

lol mata already?

I'll go with something like:



Would've liked to have put many more in

I propose they built a statue next to the opera house, along with a giant screen to broadcast all CFC matches live in honor of our Juan Mata.

Yeah, I will get on the phone to Julia Gillard right now, I am sure she is a Chelsea fan.

Really? I could swear she is a red

Lol, just because of her hair?

Nah, shes a huge Drogba fan.

please tell me shes not

Luiz ahead of marseille desailly!

Cech: no contest

Ivanovic: I love the guy so much monster in the air and always gives 110% have his name on the back of my shirts (although it says Ivanfield)

Luiz: He is just too awesome a CB with the skills of a midfielder technically and hes so funny and awesome off the field.

Terry: Lion heart leader, the face of this generation for sure.

Cole: Best LB in the world for some time, puts in a shift week in week out. Le Saux gets a shout but he was never as good as cole IMO.

Makelele: Maybe one of the most underrated players of all time IMO, the fact that RMadrid ditched him although I'm glad they did because we got one of the best readers of the game in our side for many years.

Di Matteo: One of the best passers I've seen in a Chelsea shirt will always remember that 45 second goal he scored in the FA cup final.

Robben: IMO the reason we won the league in the first season under Jose, his dribbling and directness was so awesome once he emerged with Duff on the other side we really did rape teams.

Zola: Its said that he never won a title with us but that guy what a magician twisting players left and center what an absolute legend, in the game he brought West Ham to the bridge love the reception he received the guy is top class and possible future manager.


Drogba: What a beast he started off funny but my god has he settled in, just raping center backs left right and center. Arsenal will always remember him he >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rooney, although he is past it now I think

The last striker slot I can't pick tbh Vialli was a beast, Jimmy + Eidur what a partnership got many to choose from.

Notable shouts : Lampard, Essien, Poyet, Carvalho, Ballack, Marcel, Leboeuf (CB taking pens FTW) and Wisey (so many people I probably left out big name )

i wont bother explaining most of them becasue theyre pretty straight forward

Shevchanko: was terrible at chelsea, but before he moved to chelsea he was untouchable at Milan
Deco: a bit forgotten on this thread, the only reason he didnt get the deserved hype was because he played in the same team as 'dhinio
Joe Cole: look at him before he got injured

Luiz over Desailly and Carvalho?
