Word going around is that Bertrand is going to start the CL final, playing on the left with Kalou switching to the right. This seems an obviously defensive move, Kalou being better than Torres and Sturridge at tracking back, but its a lot of pressure on a young man with not much experience at this level. The first mistake or a tactical masterstroke from Di Matteo?
I've heard them saying it on both R5 and talksport, so its a rumour that seems to have a lot of momentum behind it.
Good selection in my opinion to counter Robben. He can't be a lot worse than Malouda going forward either based on what you lot think of him. I can't say I hope you win but I've had a small wager on you to lift the cup at 9/4 which will soften the blow if you do, incredible odds given your form imo.

True. Playing a left back in front of a left back to cancel out Robben - might be a stroke of genius by Roberto. But the flip side is you might lack offensively - therefore could be a mistake by Roberto. Like you said should be interesting
First time he has been played there and hope he does well, you got him for a bargain off us, still sad that he never turned out in a Gillingham shirt.,
Well this could be going 1 of two ways Bosingwa - Cahill - Luiz - Cole Kalou - Mikel - Lampard - Bertrand Mata Drogba OR Bertrand - Bosingwa - Cahill - Cole Kalou - Mikel - Luiz - Mata Lampard Drogba Most likely the first but the second could have been interesting considering Bertrands a full back Bosingwa seems to play better at CB than RB and Luiz is the flamboyant midfielder we crave Ahhhhh well.........CMON YOU BLUES!!!!! 2-0
Not sure, hopefully, we receive money for every 10 appearances he makes upto 50 or 100, we get money for him starting tonight and we will get money after he scores his first goal for you's, but not sure if we get more if he gets you a win, Hope he does though for England, would be so happy if he could do the job for you.
