BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Blackburn Rovers vs. ChelseaChelsea head to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers as they look to stay top of the Premier League. The task is not an enviable one, with Chelsea struggling to a 1-0 win in this fixture last season thanks to a Joe Cole stunner. However, with Rovers scoring only three times in five home league matches so far this term, an imperious Chelsea defence - which has conceded just once away from home this season in the league - will look to bounce back from defeat in Rome.Match chat here!

chrismada9 1,948 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Hopefully, it will be back to winning ways after our abysmal episode in Rome Blackburn 0-2 Chelsea -- Lampard, Anelka Edited November 5, 2008 by CJ Revo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Blackburn's home record is very poor - played 5, won just one, drew 2 and lost 2 - expect them to give the peformance of their lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidEU 2,023 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 This is a SS1 game at 1:00 for those who don't know. Another Chelsea bounce back, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Blackburn have McCarthy(ban) and Santa Cruz(major doubt), so they'll have Derbyshire probably upfront on his tod. We need to bounce back and strongly. Liverpool have a load of piss easy games over the next lot of weeks against the bottom sides in the table and Manu are beginning to get a head of steam up. Dropping points now is not a good idea. A win of any sort. 3 points is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Lad 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 We have been amazing away from home and against the lesser teams this year, I can imagine another high scoring win. Blackburn aren't the same team now Ince is in charge, although they used to be really difficult to beat and facing them was always physically challenging, under Ince it's a new story. GK - Cech RB - Bosingwa CB - Alex CB - JT LB - Bridge CM - Mikel CM - Lampard CM - Deco RM - J. Cole LM - Malouda ST - Anelka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Lad 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Not really. Same team isn't it? Same players. Well yeah but completely different manager. In the later months of Hughes reign Blackburn were far less dirty than in the days when they had Dickov and Savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogba11CFC 108 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Another interesting fact is that Chelsea have never been beaten by a team that was reduced to ten men since the Monaco defeat in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sopcast Channel 6003 if anyones interested I havent heard any reason as why Joe Cole and Drogba have been left out. I expect Blackburn to try to stop us playing. They havent any recognised strikers so I feel they'll pack the midfield and strangle the life out of us. This is a game when we'll need to play ugly :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
