Chelsea Vs Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals

[DavidEU 2,023]

First Pre Season game on the 23rd July.

Discuss here.

I expect us to take with us the squad we have right now! It will be match practice for the boys and for Scolari to see how the team do in a real match situation.

Will be good to see Bosingwa, Deco and Ivanovic in action.

[Kez 2,727]

Can't wait still another 2 weeks away but hopefully the squad will be taking shape by then

Pre-season. One of my favourite times of the year. I can't wait to see Scolari take the helm, and see the likes of Bosingwa, Deco and Ivanovic in action, as well as several of the youngsters. I fancy us to demolish this team by a healthy 4 or 5 goal margin. Why? Because I'm never even heard of them

Lol, i like the logic but we never seem to demolish teams in pre season no matter how obscure they are

I agree, i love pre season and the first game of the pre season is always very exciting, hopefully there will be 1 or 2 new players out there to join the current squad.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

You're right, the first one or two games in pre-season tend to be 1-0 victories. I'm just looking forward to seeing Scolari assess his options.

[Elliott 7]

Will this only be on Chelsea TV?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yes. They are only showing it on Chelsea Plus to non-UK residents, unfortunately.

[Elliott 7]

Well that's shit. Oh well, sure they'll show snippets on Sky Sports News.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

A site they'll definitely show the goals on is 101goals.com. Very good website, all the latest goals are posted within 3 or 4 hours, mostly.

[Elliott 7]

Thanks, although it would appear that site isn't working right now. But I'll bookmark it.

I hope that people really do not come out with conclusions after this game or this tour .. I would like the fans to give the new gaffer as much support as he needs until he accomplishes his tasks

Yeah, but as fans, we don't expect to lose against Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals, do we?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Hell no. I'll be disappointed if we don't put a handful past them, especially as its Big Phil's first game.

[EskWeston 696]

With the silence at the moment on the transfer front i can't wait for this match to come around and see what Scolari has in mind.

It will be nice to see the players back in action again under a new manager, and how they adapt to a new playing style and possibly formation.

That site is www.101greatgoals.com lol thats why it aint working. Really good site, best around. Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals? is this like a team full of chinese chemists? well with a team called that, i'll expect to see a handful of goals whacked past em myself. I just hope we can get used to a certain system early and actually look really good but that'll be hard considering the like 20 options we have in different areas. I look forward to pre season too, even mostly they are just fairly low key warm ups. probably 1-0
