EskWeston 696 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Still a lot of training between now and this game, and i am not sure still what side Scolari will consider his best 11? Drogba and Kalou will definately be unavailable for this game so i would assume that Anelka will start with Joe Cole and Malouda. And then pick 3 out of the 5 world class midfielders we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then pick 3 out of the 5 world class midfielders we have I would say Deco, Lampard and Essien. Ballacks still a bit to go before he gets to full match fitness and Mikel will have to sit this one out if we go 4-3-3 imo. What about the RB slot?. Ivanovic or Ferreira ?

Kez 2,727 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ivanovic he looks good, & cant argue with Deco, Lamps and Essien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Bosingwa could well be fit. But if he isn't i would go with Ivanovic for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ivanovic has impressed me a lot since he came to Chelsea, his attitude has been excellent. As a full-back, he reminds me very much of a traditional defender; tall and imposing, who takes no nonsense. That's what I like about him, and I'm sure he will more than challenge for the RB spot this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I think Paulo should start,dont think Ivanovic has got to know the team well enough to adapt this fast.But he had a good game vs Milan so even if he starts we shouldn't have much problems. I predict a 3-0 win for the Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren.c 0 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Paulo should start imo and Ivanovic might go on as a sub later in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandicoot 3 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'd start with Ferreira at RB, maybe give Ivanovic a run out when the game is done and dusted. Pompey will, without a doubt, be a lot tougher than any of our pre-season matches, but I fully expect to come away with 3 points. Deco, Lampard and Essien would be my choice for a 3 man midfield, plus J. Cole Malouda/SWP & Anelka up front. Really cant wait for the season to start, got a really good feeling about this year.

Steve 10,227 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i cant wait for this season to get started, looking forward to it so much.. i think a win is a must in our first game of the season we really need to have a good start unlike last season, and with a couple of new players that have came along i think we can do it. mostly deco, i think he has brought something that we have been missing for a long time, if him and lampard are on the same wave i think we can give pompy a belting.

CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Won't be easy, can see us winning by the odd goal or two. Think we will line up somewhere along these lines: Cech, Ferreira, JT, Riccy C, Cole, Deco, Essien, Lamps, Joey Cole, Malouda, with Anelka up top! Only position i'd say is still debatable at the mo, is RB Ivanovic or Ferreira? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riks12 3 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) A bit early to make up the line-up, but anyways if nobody will get injured and nothing will happen, I wanna see 4-3-3. Cech Ivanovic - Carvalho - Terry - A.Cole Essien Lampard - - - Deco J.Cole - - - - - - - - - - - - - Malouda Anelka Edited August 7, 2008 by riks12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodisnowhereCFC 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 For me: Cech Paulo---JT---Riccy---Ash Mikel---Essien -Deco---Frank---Joe- Nico Looks good David I'd just make one change to your 11. I'd play Essien at RCDM and replace Mikel with Ballack a play him at the LCDM position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 It will be a couple of weeks before we see Ballack, in my opinion, he has had only 45 minutes of action so far, remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 More than likely it'll be... Cech Paulo JT Riccy A. Cole Essien Deco Frank Malouda J. Cole Anelka ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para6iT 2 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 More than likely it'll be... Cech Paulo JT Riccy A. Cole Essien Deco Frank Malouda J. Cole Anelka ? With this squad i bet we can win in every match. Glad to see Deco with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
