Thailand All Stars 0-4 Chelsea

[Tomo 21,741]

Instead of using 2 different teams for two half's how about one team one game and another team the next, give them more time to play together and will give Bertrand and Van Aanholt a full half instead of 20 minutes each.

[Henri 115]

Fucking pre-season. Not much about football, all about money, Testing the players

in this shit heat and against nobodys. Why not join tournements against german or

holland or other european countrys club to really show were we stands. its ridiculous,

but i know money talks...

[Igi26 346]

I'm only hopeing for better perfomance by team and a win. KTBFFH.

[magic weeds 446]

In the meantime, Liverpool just got hammered by Hull City. 3-0

[Sheva. 5,373]

.........................Cech.........................

Ferreira - Ivanovic - Terry - Bertrand

Bosingwa - Lamps - Mikel - Zhirkov

................Drogba - Torres......................

I can actually see this happening

[Liquidator 5,176]

I hope AVB does not change the team at half time. It clearly is disrupting to the flow of the game and if the players are to learn his new way then they should be given adequate time in real-game situations to do so.

Josh should play CAM as well CDM is not for him

I agree. A couple changes yeah, but not 11 for 11.

The coach said some people will play longer this time, and I'd say that our fitness is improving all the time

I would love to see this formation :goodpost:

[Beast 85]

Would love to see Torres score for 2 reasons:

1. Shut up the media

2. Get his confidence back

[Henrique 9,133]

Im glad our manager is a wise guy and will not try the formations that I have seen above.

I Want To See Cech....

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I am hoping we will see the starting eleven feature for 60-80 minutes today, something along these lines:

Cech

Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole

Mikel

Lampard - McEachran

Kalou - Anelka

Torres

What should then happen is make the majority of the changes between the 60-80 minute mark, so we can see the players get a little more time on the pitch. I think this is how Villas-Boas will try and shape up the squad, with the final friendly against Rangers seeing less substitutes being used.

[zolayes 14,489]

after today in the next 2 games will the number of subs be limited?

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

AVB already confirmed some players will play more than 45 mins. It's on the clubs website I think.

for once I agree with you about those formations

[Up the Blues! 1]

Cech

B.Clifford David luiz Terry Bertrand

Mikel

Mceachran

Malouda. Benayoun

Torres. Sturridge

Different squad to normal, just a thought! Could be a fair bit of creativity within that team?
