Andre Villas-Boas may gamble on the fitness of John Terry in tomorrow night’s Champions League game against Napoli as his side struggles for leadership and discipline.
The former Porto boss said:
“I will leave it as late as possible and make a decision on him after training in Naples.”
Ashley Cole could also make a return to Chelsea’s starting line-up but Ryan Bertrand has travelled to Naples with the squad just in case and it’d be great for the latter to be trusted by the manager in such a big game.
Cole has been crap for the last 18 months and could be one of those that is moved on in the summer. There have been rumours going around that certain Chelsea players have been texting former boss Jose Mourinho and I believe the England left-back could be one of them, especially as he foolishly decided to praise his former coach on the eve of Chelsea’s clash against Birmingham.

Sturridge as long striker. pre-match AVB tells him “you are the best striker we have, you want to play centrally so here is your chance on the big stage go out and prove i’ve made the right choice and you can play here for the rest of the season”. ok thanks. bye.
Kalou brings something different. rest of the team picks themselves.

IMO, Luiz as a midfielder can add attack and defense. He can disrupt Napoli from midfield. Any is possible, but CFC has been in poor form and Napoli is no easy game.
– Cech – Ivanovic -Cahill-JT-Betrand – – – – – – – Luiz/Merires – – – Essien– Ramires — Mata. Sturige- – Drogba = (4-1-3-2) then 2nd half we will change to (4-2-3-1) Luiz will come in for merires as defensive midfield (4).

Why all this hatred of Mikel by most chelsea fans? I mean the guy do not deserve it at all. He hasnt played since december yet that has been chelsea’s worst run! What does this’ Romeu’ of a guy contribute to chelsea’s midfield. Pls lets be reasonable with our criticisms. Thank you.
