Set pieces scare me regardless who plays for Chelsea

 

[Hansern]

Carvalho, Drogba, Ballack, Terry and Ivanovic. Fuck me! Set pieces will decide this match I'm afraid.

Interesting.

Time for Lucas to step up

Has Rafa given us a chance then?

I only do it "after" we've picked up 3 points.

Time to get back on top of the goals scored list & the GD list. c'mon Torres or Gerrard or......

 

[gene hughes]

I have a good feeling about this match. I reckon it will be a draw.

Very good ball-playing side. They lack a bit of pace and bite (Essien aside) in CM though. Shame we do too, with Lucas and Riera playing. The key thing here, I think, will be possession. If we can dominate the ball, that Chelsea midfield will suffer; if they dominate, the likes of Deco and Ballack can make us chase shadows all afternoon.

Ivanovic is a danger in the air, but isn't he slightly dodgy as a defender? I'm not sure Albert is the man to take advantage, but still... I think we've got a chance. Perhaps slightly less than 50-50. Or is that the nerves talking?

 

[TheBunnyman]

I'm also disappointed Yossi's not starting. I fear we may lack a bit of spark until or unless he's brought on.

At least we will have him as an impact sub if needed.

Fucking Ivanovic... I hate him. They've clearly only played him due to him scoring in the last fixture. Boswinga is a better player and first choice. Cunts.

i hope skrtel plays better than against fiorentina .come on liverpool

 

[TheBunnyman]

The key players for us: Carra, Skrtel, Mascherano and Lucas. Are any of them really on form though?

Hopefully Torres and/or Gerrard will have stormers...

Wouldn't it be brilliant if Lucas somehow became a magnificent player today.......one can dream.....

 

[Frogfish]

I think Johnson up against Cole is going to be key for both our defence and attack.

 

[TheBunnyman]

Anyone got a working stream for media player?

 

[rage]

johnson will be fine.

as for lucshit, what does he have to do to get dropped?

torres hat trick away will do me today

 

[Frogfish]

PK Lads .... Here we Go !!! COME ON REDMEN !!!!

 

[RealRedBlood]

Iraqgoals.com has 1 stream and it doesn't work! help!

 

[Frogfish]

Nice steady start with sharp passing until Kuyt lost it.

 

[Shadey]

Got a feeling lucas is going to score today..

 

[Frogfish]

Gerrard Fk goes for a corner ...

Good defending twice from Chelsea.

we are dominating possession.

Bastard.... I thought you meant there was a penalty.

 

[RealRedBlood]

Stoke 1-0 Everton ;D

 

[Frogfish]

Good play by Masher.

Great play by Johnson stitches up Cole and gets a good cross in.

[Frogfish]

Sharp play by Reina to come out and head clear.

Sorry about the PK / OK 🙂

A very good start.
