I would like to see Estevao start against Liverpool, the boy has so much talent and needs a run of games to build his match fitness, confidence and rhythm. Palestra is another and Quenda showed enough to deserve a another start. Young Penders has to forget his howler and prove he is worth persevering with or he will be gone when Martinez returns.
At nil nil the game yesterday could of gone either way and even at 1 nil and down to 10 men I still thought we might grab something but let's move on, dust ourselves down and put in 2 big performances against the northern mobs.

Hand on heart, can you honestly see us getting anything from those two games.
This team reminds me of a ship without a rudder, drifting aimlessly at sea.

G8, I agree with your post mate.
I am a big fan of Palestra but so far in his limited amount of mins for Chelsea, he hasn't looked comfortable. He probably needs a run of games.
I'm hoping Estavao plays as a 10 against Liverpool as I think he will play in that position against Utd. I would also like to see Barco, Lavia and Caicedo all play in midfield against Liverpool.

Bill, the rudder is the gaffer Alonso so hopefully he will come good.
Tom, I can't see Estevao playing against Man United as Palmer will be back from his suspension.

G8, I was told yesterday that Palmer misses the United game not the Liverpool game. Of course, they may well have been wrong!

I can see why he did not last too long at RM.
As for Estavo, he needs to play otherwise we will lose him.
