As a blues fan, I have to be honest in admitting that I watch our recent matches with trepidation. RDM's tactics aren't really working and we are not playing convincingly. I see no reason why Ramires and Bertrand should be deployed as wingers when it is obvious that they offer little in the way of creativity, which in turn affects the game play of Hazard. I hope RDM displays a little more adventure in terms of attack and play Victor Moses/Oscar as a right winger and Marko Marin on the left, with Ramires deployed beside Mikel. With the kind of tactics currently on display, it won't be long before RDM finds himself in the labour market as Abramovich didn't spend all that money to play the kind of game RDM is giving us now. Anyway, here's hoping that we win today's match (convincingly, of course). Up Blues!

we betta watchout for tht Ghanaian kwedjo Asoamoah murfucka.......dude is like a horse.....all the best me dearest blues, though I still can't figure out why we loaned Essien to Madrid.....I mean Toure could only penetrate Madrid's midfield after Essien was subbed.....I doubt we'll ever get him back......

Todaynatoday: Is it the same juventus that was unbeaten in their league?! Hahaha
chelshit don gbe!

Yes o, same old lady that conceded to defeat in the italian cup final last season against Napoli that was whooped by your so called 'chelshit'. I beg hate less, it does not pay

My old lady will teach chelshit how to play football.

okeymatthew30: While i strongly believe in this chelsea team, they have holes they need to fill if they have to compete both at home and abroad, they need to get another striker to back up Torres, they also need an additional defensive midfielder, because once mikel has an issue, that team would be in great trouble.The beauty of having a great team is having a bench, like Barcelona, or even Juve, however, they still have a good team, but tonights match will be a tight one.

@ Okey, I agree with you that we have a lot of holes to fill. However, I dont think buying another striker is the solution here. If you take the match against Athletico as a case study, you will see that there wasn't really any service for Torres. Even if we swapped strikers with Athletico and Falcao was playing as our front man, I seriously doubt that Falcao will score a single goal. And I really don't understand the rationale behind allowing Essien go on loan. What he simply needed was some game time to return to what he was before. However, Ramires can also aid Mikel in that role, which is why I complained in my earlier post about deploying Ramires to the right wing when he isn't a winger but a box-to-box midfielder. Make I siddon look how the match go be today. Na God eye I dey look.

I jus dey smile..d rest of d world wuld now knw y juventus are unbeaten in 42 league matches..they have d best midfield combination of experienced pirlo, youthful marchisio and d energetic unstoppable Arturo Vidal..add kwado asamoah to d mix and tell chelea SORRY...KPELLE...only barca has a better midfield.. Dont forget coach antonio contes penchant fr attacking futball plus d slippery Giovinco and mirko vucinic...oh boy i fear fr chelsea

Di Matteo should pray for luck tonight

I support chelsea but am not sure whether chelsea will win this match.

ehe, all these Man u Fans don turn to Juve fans....since wen did Juve hav so much fan base in Naija? Mtcheew...my money on Chelsea. E go shock una like transformer. God with us!

Leggo chelski!

4reigningqueen: If only torres will cool down and enjoy his game.

if only ramires will stop being in a hurry to score goals.

if only mikel will try and be adventurous though he admitted he is not that fast.

If only hazard wouldnt play under pressure.

If only RDM will subtitute mata if the game becomes physical.

If only luiz wouldnt play with emotions.

If only...

keep reciting!

Forza Juve. The old ladies of italy will do it again today.
i pity chelsea shaa. Uefa wicked o o.

I am feeling bad about this match because I know RDM will fail woefully again with his selection. If he could play 2 defensive wingers (gosh I hate this terminology) against QPR, then i'm quite sure he is going to play a defensive Center Forward today!

The 352 tactics of Juve can be countered if only we have decent pace out wide (Moses, Hazard) and a fast transitioning midfielder alongside Mikel(Oscar). Whatever mehn..

is this ur juve better than napoli, buyern and barca that we crushed on our way to munich and in munich?
the truth about it all is that we are not fighting with our strength but na God dey do am for us.
surely, u will all gather but he that is in us is greater than the world.
i have vowed to celebrate our victory of 19th may for two solid years and no weapon form against me shall stop me.
we had a worse team in chelsea last year yet we did it what more now.
we are the defending champions and that is what we are.

Ask napoli hw juve flog dem 3-0 fr league and 4-2 fr italian super cup....

Chelsea Vs Juventus, 1-3 in favour of Juve.

rightly said, i think lampard should sit on the bench more
while ramires uses his pace and energy in the midfield proper.

mikel can sit in front of the defence and plug the holes.
there is no rational behind using ramires on the flanks when we have moses or even sturridge.

i hope RDM does not out do himself.
we have a better squad, lets dig deep and use our talents.

oya oooooo

oscar starts
