Chelsea v Newcastle United - Wed 22nd September -7:45pm - League Cup 3rd Rd

[Fenham Mag]

I really don't see us getting twatted like. QPR (with routledge) only lost 1-0 to a stronger 2nd string than the one we'll see tomorrow, last season in the same round.

[cubaricho]

Would go with Loven and Ranger up front.

[Decky]

Is this on the telly?

If I was CH I would chuck out a mixture of Youth and Experience and i think Ben Arfa needs to play at least a half to get his match fitness up.

 

 

[Guest MrSundlofer]

Krul - Enrique, Williamson, Campbell, Tavernier - Smith, Tiote - Jonas, Ben Arfa, Ranger - Lövenkrands.

 

Planed subs: Kadar/Ferguson in, Enrique out. Vuckic in, Ben Arfa out. R.Taylor/Ameobi in, Lövenkrands out.

[Guest palnese]

I'd give Tiote and Ben Arfa 30 mins from the bench.

[quayside]

Enrique did not travel with the rest of the squad. I'm itk on that - don't ask 

But maybe he's made his own way down to London...

[Heron]

Win this and we could go all the way...

[Pilko]

Sadly, Shola will play.

[NoU]

Win this and we could go all the way...

[Disco]

Big Sol is raring to go

Don't think I've ever actually heard him laugh before.

 

Sounds in good spirits.

[BONTEMPI]

Fucking do em!

[JH]

"Chelsea will probably play a full side so it'll be a tough game."

 

What was he expecting? Them to only field 7 players

[womblemaster]

campbaell admits his addiction...."Ive lifted a few things since then"

 

Probably mostly from the langerie section of Primark.

If he really is fielding these guys then we should be able to beat them.

[NoU]

http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2161073,00.html

So we could be looking at something like this:

 

Turnbull

 

Ferreira - Bruma - Terry - van Aanholt

 

Ramires - McEachran

 

Yossi - Kakuta - Zhirkov

 

Sturridge

 

of course it doesn't say anything about Malouda, Kalou and Anelka being rested, so I guess that any of these could start, which would definately be the end of us. Otherwise it looks beatable and especially if Tiote plays we should be able to outmuscle them in midfield.

[Guest Roger Kint]

Enrique did not travel with the rest of the squad. I'm itk on that - don't ask 

But maybe he's made his own way down to London...

 

Good its madness to risk him imo

[Hanshithispantz]

Krul

 

Raylor - Campbell - Coloccini - Kadar

 

Jonas - Smith - Vuckic - Tiote - Loven

 

Shola

 

Subs: Soderberg, Tavernia, Ferguson, Guthrie, Arfa, Best, Ranger

 

Would play Colo just to give him some game time with Campbell.

[sander68]

Apparently Lampard will play, he is coming back from an injury.

[QBG]

Apparently he won't. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1314036/Frank-Lampard-targets-Manchester-City-return-Chelsea.html

[BeloEmre]

Apparently Lampard will play, he is coming back from an injury.

'JT is fit to play and maybe can play tomorrow for 45 minutes which could help Bruma, but Lampard is not available,' he said.

[madras]

the league cup is like the commonwealth games, fucking pointless and no-one really takes it sriously, it's the child that is begotten form a wifes weekend fling that the husband tolerates for the sake of not wanting to his wifer to leave and him to be lonely. honestly don't care if we go out and would much rather go out than any of our players suffer any sort of injury in this rotten competition.
