Was hoping to get up to Tokyo for the game and a weeks break in Japan, one of the more remarkable countries to visit, sadly Christmas commitments mean I'll be watching on TV instead. Kicks off around 9.30 pm here in OZ, so quite sociable time for us to watch Chelsea live. Haven't seen any team news, or any other news for that matter, but should be a game we win fairly easily (he says confidently) Look forward to seeing reactions on here after the match.
It'll seem wierd watching a live match with a 10.30 AM kick off. Normally we're listening to the radio if we're relxaing, but Thursday is the weekly shop which will now have to be delayed until this afternoon!
Seems Luiz is playing in midfield. Something I think you guys have wanted to see for a while? Chelsea team: Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Luiz, Mikel; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Torres
Luiz in midfield i like it will give us better cover infront of the back 4 would have picked Rez over Mikel tho.
BBC's call that he is playing in midfield. From the team alone, would guess he was in defence with Cahill, with Ivanovic at right back and the other guy further forward, but I guess they are given the formation.
Definite own goal for Torres at 2-0. Also 3-0 was an own goal but what play from Hazard and Torres this half.
Hazard is a ****ing beast did you see the way he dribbled between thoes 3 defenders the guys accelratiion over the first few yards is mind blowing.
Great stuff from the Blues! Apparently they all went out ten pin bowling last night to shake off the jet lag! The lowest points scorer had to serve dinner for the rest. Ashley Cole had the dubious honour! Bring on Corinthians! Off now to do the weekly shop!
3-1.. a good solid win against a side that had been in Japan for over a week to get over the jet lag. Luiz was impressive as were the three amigos... Sunday will be a good game
