Janne HHere is the XI what expect to see against Genk. We played good game against Everton and we saw how we lost Ramirez and he is not expected to play against Genk. We also saw again our team allowing a goal and i believe AVB wants to change that. Luiz will play CB and Ivanovic RB. I think its 50/50 chance to see Frank playing, he played full 90mins against Everton and im not supriced if he is replaced by Malouda. I liked Drogba against Everton, he was creative and he was hungry. He is getting close to 100% fit and i think AVB will use him in second time in a row. Meireles will play in LM role and lamps will drop to CM but if its Malouda then we going to see him in LM and Meireles in CM role. Romeu will do holding role. I think we will see very hungry Blues against Genk and after tight firsthalf there will be amazing goalfest from Drogba and Torres.

nvrGenk are not the toughest of opponents especially in London. I won't be surprised if more youngsters/rotation players are fielded.

ZolaThis same point was made in the context of McEcheran yesterday by Jamie Redknapp. He did it with a malicious intent, that's a given, but he had a point.

For the game itself, it was good to see Torres in form. We will need him at his best in the coming fixtures.

ZolaOh, forgot about Romeu, he was quite good, much more mature than his age would suggest.

JimmyGuitaristYou got a good player in Romeu. You can just tell where he learnt his trade.

Janne Hi agree with u zola Romeu was good, we have many good younsters and we will see them more in cup games. Maybe even against QPR. Torres was great and i have to say that Meireles and Lampard made him good last night. They were also great. We just need to get Drogba fireing with all gunz blazing and i think we have good opportunity to do that at sunday.
