Chelsea (away) Pre match thread


Recommended Posts

It's really important we keep it tight and make things difficult for Chelsea.  If we keep it tight I'm hoping we can nick a 3-0 defeat.

        Faye Taylor

Beye Rozenhal Cacapa Enrique

      Carr Butt Edgar

            Geremi

Aye, Barton's probably in jail, or somewhere....

Here's some certainties for the Chelsea game:

 

- We'll play for a 0-0 draw

- We'll get our half of that

- We'll have one half where we don't manage a single shot on goal

- We'll not manage more than 2 shots on target in the whole game

- At least 3 (And possibly 5) players will be played out of position even though capable players for that position are available and fit

- Alan Smith will get booked

 

Sadly none of that has anything to do with the opposition being Chelsea, as it's the same pattern we've witnessed in just about every away game this season so far.

The sad thing is, I'd be far more confident with the team and formation Roeder put out last time we went to Stamford Bridge, rather than the inevitable rubbish tomorrow.

Huntington at left-back?

 

tbf, with Roeder's side, we gave them a good go last year.

What's the squad?

 

Whoever it takes at LB I want to see Zog on the left midfield and Duff on right midfield and a solid centre in a 4-4-2.

 

They don't have Drogba and are clever around the box, I think we need footballers at CB not cloggers in this game, players who can read the game, so I'd go with Roz and Cacapa. I don't think Enrique is ready for this league right now and I wouldn't select him.

 

If we're going to lose this game I want us to lose it while trying to win the bloody thing, it can be done.

 

So, depending on the squad...

 

                  Given

Beye Rozenhal Cacapa (Taylor, Edgar or even bloody Carr if he's fit. I want to see Zog on the left of midfield attacking them)

Duff    Faye      Butt      Zog

            Smith Martins

i was impressed last year. only scored 1 goal and took them 74 minutes, and it was the shitest goal ive ever seen. they didnt look very threatening at all last year, lots of possession but not that many chances considering

My first choice team would be:

 

                Given

Beye  Cacapa  Faye  Enrique

Milner  Butt  Emre  N'Zogbia

      Martins  Smith

 

but I don't think we'll get that, especially away at Chelsea. I can see:

 

            Given

Beye  Faye  Taylor  N'Zogbia

            Butt

Milner            Geremi  Duff

          Smith

                    Viduka

Just an interesting post from a Chelsea fan on the main site:

 

Just in case it’ll make you feel better i thought I’d give you my team sheet of those NOT available for tomorrow

 

              Cudicini

_____ Terry  Carvalho  Cole

            Makelele

      Essien Lampard

______ Drogba Malouda

 

Oh! and we haven’t got Mourinho either so if Villa can get 4 goals against us anyone can.

Exactly. And had to bring on a few of their players for them to score too..

What's up with Essien? First I've heard of him being out but he's massive for them.

I think when you match our sides up (remember this is almost our 1st 11) even though many of their team are fringe players, they still have the edge on us. It is going to be an immensely difficult afternoon tomorrow. We have a chance, better than it would have been had they all be availible, but still a small one at that

 

Come on the toon
