warnie_666 1,081 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Since this game is after an international break, expect a hard fouight 2-0. No beautiful football this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Blue 469 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 There is no such thing as a boogey team,there is only one explanation for that - SHIT PERFORMAnCE But i am confident we will run them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Even with all of our injuries i am confident that we can beat Middlesbrough. Although we are piling up the injuries at the moment, if we were to put together the best 11 from players who we know 100% are going to fit it would look like this: .............................Hilario/Taylor............................. Belletti........Ivanovic..............Mancienne.........Bridge .................................Mikel..................................... .....................Lampard.......Malouda......................... Sinclair....................Di Santo..........................Kalou Cech, Cudicini, Bosingwa, Terry, Carvalho, Alex, A.Cole, Essien, Ballack, Deco, J.Cole, Anelka and Drogba are all injury doubts as of now. All though i am sure a lot of them will be fine for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thats pessimistic ! in reality, a lot are superficial injuries, and the team could well be Cudicini Ferreira Mancienne Ivanovic Bridge Mikel Ballack Lampard Anelka Malouda kalou and Alex and Boswinga will prob be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Chelsea and England centre-back Michael Mancienne could be handed a shock role at the heart of the Blues defence due to their injury crisis. Both captain John Terry (back), Alex (hip and thigh) and Ricardo Carvalho (knee) are all doubts for the Middlesbrough game and England Under-21 star Mancienne may be given his first Premier League start in order to shore-up the heart of the defence. But even though he is ready for the chance, Mancienne admits that the lack of opportunities has caused him to think about his future at the club. "I understand the problem at Chelsea because there are so many top-quality players. But it can get you down when you are a regular with England Under-21s but you go back to the reserve team. It's very frustrating," he said. "I am at a stage now where I need to play first-team football and feel ready to test myself at the highest level. "My game has blossomed under England under-21 coach Stuart Pearce and my education at Chelsea has been top class. "I will keep trying to catch the boss' eye but eventually you have to be honest and start thinking about what's best for your career." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Gonna be an interesting team selection. hopefully they'll be fit enough to play on saturday and they just aint being risked in the internationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Not a lot of time between the internationals and the Boro' game so it is hard to know just who will be ready. But the selection certainly will be interesting. I am sure we will be able to put together a very strong 11 still.. Would be nice for Mancienne to get a start, although it is big game to come into, not a lower league cup game or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) The Mail said Mancienne was gana start against Villa and he werent on the bench so hmm 1-0 win..and no one better bloody get injured in the warm up!

Joe Cool 388 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I can't fucking believe our injuries. With that formation posted above, we will get dicked by Boro. Let's hoped they make a quick return to fitness before the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thats a good enough side to beat Boro. If we were playing Arsenal, Manu or Liverpool I'd be concerned. Boro are your basic game raising cnuts, so its still going to be a tough game even if we had our pefect starting line up. 2-0 Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Had a dream we were 3-0 up in the first half.Then woke up and was kinda ahhhh we havent played yet! Be more confident at home but nout we can do,fingers crossed Boro dont raise the bar so high,Hilaro doesnt make crazy mistakes and we get the points and stay top!
