That'll do DL but Kalou? - ****, thinking about it that's the best line up but no wonder we ****ed up in the league! Kalou for a hat-trick anyone?

Can't see Torres starting but I can certainly see the merit in using him wide (suggested it myself on a couple of occassions) when we're potentially having to start 2 from Sturridge, Kalou and Malouda if Mata plays in the middle. Wouldn't be suprised if he picks Lampard, Essien, Mikel in the middle with Mata and say Kalou wide mid.
Essien wont start , he needs full restful summer to get that knee in shape, he sometimes looks like he's treading water at the moment
Agreed. However Cech, Bos, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Mata and Drogba will start if fit. That leaves 2 spaces to be filled by the likes of Malouda, Kalou, Essien, Sturridge etc. I wouldn't want any of them playing to be honest given current form and ability (Sturridge has been fine but maybe wont do the defensive work). 2 will have to play though so who knows, it could be Essien. Personally I think I'd go with Kalou and Torres but no ideal situation.
I'll go along with DL, looks the best we have. Kalou will do fine. Best of luck to all our players, get behind them and stop putting them down. They will all be giving everything they have for CFC, and no one can do more than that.
