Looks like Romeu is out for the season.

Awful news. Just as he was starting to get some meaningful playing time.

We go straight to the semi final, don't we ? Beat the Mexican champions Monterrey and we are in the final, probably against Corinthians of Brazil.
From memory, I think there used to be more games than that ?
But to be honest, I've never taken much notice of it. This is Rafa's third World Club Championship.

Feel bad for Romeu, he had a chance to shine with Mikel's ban and trip to AFCON. So, we are a bit light in that area.

We have Lamps, Ramires...wonder if we could get Ess back....and the eternal question...and enigma...Mr David Luiz.......I must say, I agree with Pat Nevin about David Luiz....we have been saying this for a while...us Chelsea fans.

Another question that has flitted in the minds of many a Chelsea fan, including yours truly, since his debut is, can David Luiz play as a central deep lying midfielder? Well Rafa is the first man to give him a little shot in there, even if it was only 15 minutes at the end of an already-won Champions League game. In that quarter of an hour David Luiz did nothing to dispel the notion there is a possibility he could be very special in that position. He is fast, powerful, can tackle, looks forward quickly, can and loves to run with the ball and maybe most importantly when he does make the error of being too adventurous, there are usually two centre-backs behind him to cover.

Whether Rafa sees this in the player, or he just wanted to find a way of getting Paulo Ferreira on the pitch and had to move David Luiz forward, or he was listening to the fans (there are a few things I think he would rather not listen to right enough), it was an intriguing moment.
