Fernando Torres and David Luiz, both are introduced in January, one fifty million pounds, the other straight twenty-five million euros, but the result do? Has Torres scored for Chelsea? No! But how about David Luiz? Already scored the debut goal for Chelsea, but also more than one goal, two. Coincidentally, this 2 goals was scored against both Manchester team, can be said that David Luiz the bane of Manchester.
2010/2011, Chelsea defender's goal scoring ability is unmatched by other European teams, look at their goals in the league data, Terry scored 3 in bpl, Ivanovic 3 goals, Alex scored once against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, add on new signings David Luiz 2 goal against both Manchester team. Look at other bpl team, another team that defenders scored most is Stoke City, Robert Huth 6 goals and Danny Higginbotham 2 goals.
Chelsea forward line now because of the arrival of Fernando Torres so now it is in a period of adjustment. Chelsea striker is currently unprecedented power line, Drogba, Kalou, Anelka, Malouda, (Sturridge is now have a loan term at Bolton), long-term disabled Benayoun will recover soon and new arrival Torres, Chelsea forward will perfect if Ancelotti finds the solution.
4-4-2? 3-5-2? 4-3-3? 3-4-3? Or having who better this week? Who will getting start in this week match? Watch out on this blog...

Blues new signings hope to break goal drought
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has been told to relax and the goals will start flowing in at Stamford Bridge. The advice comes from Andriy Shevchenko, who failed to replicate the kind of form at the club that made him such a respected figure with AC Milan and throughout Europe.
34-year-old Shevchenko managed only nine goals in 47 appearances for Chelsea, and knows the pressure Torres is under after he left Liverpool in January.
"Chelsea play a different game to Liverpool. You need time to adapt," said Shevchenko. "Everyone is looking at him because the price of the transfer is very high. In England everyone puts a lot of pressure on him. He is a big player, a big name and goals will come.
"He needs to keep believing in himself and keep calm. I know he will be working hard. Maybe it is best he does not think about scoring."
Shevchenko left Chelsea to rejoin Milan on loan before returning home to Dynamo Kyiv, where he started out. His arrival back in England this week was a happy one as the Ukrainian side defeated Manchester City in the UEFA Europa League and will now face Braga in the quarter-finals.
Shevchenko scored in the 2-1 aggregate victory over City, who meet Chelsea on Sunday in a crucial Premier League match. He still has a soft spot for his former club even though his game did not reach the heights he had hoped for in London. "I hope they play well and win as it is an important game for both sides," Shevchenko added.

Spectacle for Week 30
Waiting for a long time, finally Barclays Premier League is back. For the past struggle European match, the feeling is mixed. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City all crashed out due to poor displays, lack of interest and creativity or just bad luck and colored cards; while Chelsea and Tottenham moved on with goalless draws while Manchester United came through a huge scare against Marseille. This let those EPL teams from the bottom half of the table(who had much time to rest)shows their qualities and taking advantages:
Real Advantage
- Tottenham - Maybe they will feel tired that they have played against AC Milan few days ago but that is out of the question. Although Hotspurs unable to score against Milan at home game, but their colourful offensive system plus on Van Der Vaart and Bale both back make Hotspurs have a high probability to win this derby.
- Aston Villa - Cause of Wolves terrible away game record, this game should be a straight win for Villa especially with their recent revival.
- Blackburn - The situation is much to choose between the two teams; Blackburn has lost four and won none of their last five Premier League matches while Blackpool have only won one of their last nine Premier League matches. Because of they are the home team, I can feel that they will usher in the revival of the game moments.
False Hope
- Manchester United - hardly to imagine that ManYoo' defence without Rio and Vidic. If this game was not play at Old Trafford i would expect a Bolton win, but you will never know with both Nani and Valencia back to the team.
- Arsenal - The Gunners are coming back from a bad European experience, their morale is not at its heights at the moment and to top things up they're missing half of their team through injuries. I'm not saying they will lose the game, but it's hard to imagine an easy win.
- Liverpool - Fantasy Managers will be affected by the fact that Liverpool beat Manchester United last gameweek but I wouldn't go that way. The reds are by far the most unreliable and unpredictable team this season. After all they beat Man Utd and Chelsea but lost to Wolves and West Ham in between!
Forwards:
- Suarez - since he cames, his performance was a shock whether at home or away matches. If he able to play at Europa League, goalless draw was not the final result for the match. Average points as high as 12, what else can you consider?
- Van Persie - after get sent off at Europe stage, he's now looking for prey like a wolf. Penalty and free kick duty surely is take by him. For me, that's enough.
- Bent - Do you still doubt he'll score it against bottom team? Take him now.
- Biram Diouf - looked really good last game, and remember he's playing Blackpool
- Defoe - He's back to the form and scored twice at last Premier League match, but he has to compete with Crouch and Pavlyuchenko.
- Rooney/Chicharito - both of them are in the hot state now and maybe their next goal will come from home games. But need to mention that without SAF managing at side maybe will affect their performance.
Midfielders:
- Van Der Vaart - the top scorer of the team is back. It's very hard make you say 'no' about it.
- Young/Downing - the Duo will surely have another great week against a leaky back line.
- Nani/Valencia - Nani will always return good rewards in home matches but remember that he'll be switched back to the left side if Valencia starts.
- Adam - the Blackpool' captain is back and I'm surely he should be hungry for action.
- Pedersen/Hoilett - no doubt both of their performance at home ground. But need to take risk cause Steve Kean likes rotation.
- Hitzlsperger - since he's recover, his performance was pretty and his price was solid. If you not barely, can think about him.
Defenders:
- Bale - if he's fit, he will definitely be the pick of the week and your premium defender.
- Kyle Walker - my favourite player since he's been loan to Villa. Cheap ticket to the Aston Villa defense, very interesting attacking defender as well.
- Kolarov - If David Luiz starts at right side, I think Citeh will given a lot of free kicks at the left side and Kolarov' performance will be a crucial for away teams.
- Coleman - no doubt of his performance at Goodison Park. But need to mention that last 2 games he's not at the starting line-up. If want, take a risk on him at 10.61.
- Nelsen - he's back from suspension and he always can score at home game. Take him when he's cheap.
- Alcaraz - although he's a bit expensive but no doubt his performance at home. At least his taking card risk not high like his central back partner Gary Caldwell.
Goalkeepers:
- Gomes - his price was drop until 8.30. A better match-up but a bit more expensive as well.
- Almunia - If you still believe Arsenal's defense, take a risk on him but will be doubtful after Wenger resign former Arsenal' no.1 Lehmann.
- Friedel - goalkeepers with 3.50 market price, home match against Wolves, how can you ignore that? It's makes a lot of sense especially with his price tag.
- Begovic - his price now was pretty solid and his home performance was nicely. Not much doubt of him.
