lionsden 4,689 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Norwich played their second string, and now will have a point to prove and will especially be up for this as we're no longer the team we used to be and Stamford Bridge isn't exactly a fortress anymore.We'll win, but they'll give it a good go.There's no such thing as dead cert in sport. We should win would be more appropriate .. just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atholy 1,293 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really hoping AVB puts Lukaku on the bench and letting him sub for 25 minutes at the end of the game.I know Lukaku well and follow him since his first game at Anderlecht. There isn't a single player in the blues lockerroom that wants to play at the bridge so hard than he does.If he manages to impress in the first few minutes he gets at the bridge & if the crowd supports him... a great career with us could be launched!Remember Vermaelen's first game at Everton two years ago... with a lot of confidence from his debut game... he became more important every single game.Lukaku did the same at Anderlecht 2 years ago... Really hoping AVB gives him the chance to let this happen at the Bridge & not at Brittania Stadium.This guys is a blue!! Let him be a blue... and not a 1/2 Potter.

Styles 9,790 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'd love to see McEachran, Oriol and Lukaku all get some minutes in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodojojo 510 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Only concern is that he may not be match fit as Valencia are still in preseason mode/now striking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino- 116 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think there's opportunity to debut Mata. Hardly anyone will be the new holder but I can see many Lukaku want to see in action either for short periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 How many games did it take Fergie to start having 100% confidence and faith in the youth. . . .right from the opening game of the season. Josh should have started ahead of lampard for the WBA game factoring Frank's dramatic drop in form. Fergie could have easily chickened out tonight and opt for their experienced and league's joint highest goal scorer last season (berbatov) instead of wellbeck against a superior opponent to WBA (spurs) but no He didn't and the faith he showed in the youngster(s) paid off.he didn`t do that during the first two games of his career at the club tho.. i don`t recall Fergie bringing off an established player before half time of his home debut. AVB is still learning about what he has at his disposal...where as although Wellbeck,Cleverly etc may be relatively new players to outsiders looking in..Fergie has been able to see these kids grow through the ranks for many years,the gamble he is supposedly making isn`t as bold and brave as is being made out.give AVB time is all Tomo asked.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The youngsters that Ferguson plays, perform due to combination of historical past glories and sheer fear from the old red nosed bully. Two attributes that are not so prominent at SW6With regard to Mr Mata, I am expecting an appearance in the second half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 What exactly has Lampard done positively this season?And what's he done that's so bad? There have been far worse performers in Chelsea shirts so far this season, John Terry included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi lads, I'm new to the forum. Been supporting Chelsea all my life and I have to say that I'm disappointed with our start to the season so far. It's been way too flat and we've been playing too narrow. We have to get someone from centre midfield closer to Torres up the field and we need our wingers to stay wide and to stretch the play. I think we have to line up something like this: Hilario Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole Mikel Ramires - McEachran Benayoun - Torres - Mata Subs: Turnbull; Alex; Ferreira; Romeu; Lampard; Malouda; Drogba wow in one post you get 6 reputation points. I've been here for weeks and battling to get 3 points. great post. But I think Anelka should start over Benayoun cause he has a better eye for goal. I would also start with Malouda simple because I wanna ease Mata into the side. but it would be important to get him some minutes against a new PL team at home. I would love to see Romeo and Lukaku play but I just don't see room in our line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnchelsea 79 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hypothetically, I hope Josh, Lukaku, Benayoun get a run on the pitch. Realistically, Lampard, Anelka, Kalouda will start/subbed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Compare the number of passes Drogba receives inside the box in his 30 mins, and the number Torres receives in his 60. 3 against 0. Zero service to the man. Hopefully Mata will change that soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
