BlueLion. 21,484 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Chelsea vs Queen's Park RangersCarling Cup, Third Round, 23 September 2009, Stamford Bridge, 1945 KOChelsea host Queen's Park Rangers in a mouth-watering West London derby at Stamford Bridge as the two sides lock horns for a place in the Carling Cup Fourth Round.The two sides last met in the 2007/08 FA Cup, where Chelsea, under Avram Grant, emerged as 1-0 victors thanks to an own goal from Lee Camp, who saw a shot from Claudio Pizarro bounce off the post and ricochet into the net off the English goalkeeper.Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea are a different prospect for the Championship side, however, as the Blues will be red-hot favourites to beat their rivals.Match chat here - C'MON THE BLUES!

Cameron 30 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'd go for:Turnbull, Ivanovic, Bruma, Terry, Hutchinson, Mikel, Belleti, J.Cole, Deco, Sturridge & Kalou.2-1 Chels. Link to post Share on other sites
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Borini is short of amazing, he has the most poetential (not including kakuta) who could break into the first team IMO. Kalou should be the sub. Link to post Share on other sites
Laylabelle 8,799 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 God I remember when we played them in the FA cup...gotta be better then that! Not gana be easy they're really gana go for it but hopfully so will we!And not go out at this stage again!Borini impressed me today.He didnt seem overwealmed or anything did some pretty good runs so be good to see him again and Joey!Hoping he gets a chance to come on Link to post Share on other sites
EskWeston 696 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We could be putting out a very exciting team for different reasons in this game. Will be great to see Joe Cole and Ferreira back, also to see Zhirkov and possibly Matic in action. My team would be:................................Turnbull..................................Hutchinson.....Ivanovic........Terry...............Ferreira..................................Mikel.......................................................Belletti..................Matic.........................................................J.Cole........................................................Borini..................Sturridge.................Although i think that Kalou will more than likely start in place of Borini and Lampard instead of Matic and i don't think Matic is quite ready (only played 45 reserve minutes so far)Either way it is an exciting prospect, also expect to see Bruma on the bench for this one too.

Elliott 7 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think we'll see Lampard and Terry, and Ashley Cole (or could he play Bruma?), but other than that we'll see some second stringer. I expect we'll see Ivanovic, Alex if he's fit, Ferreira, Joe Cole, Deco, Sturridge and probably Kalou and Mikel. Link to post Share on other sites
Shane 2,275 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 As long as Joey, Matic and Borini are starting i'll be happyThinking of getting Borini on the back of the away shirt. Link to post Share on other sites
Term-X 7,891 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 this will be a good opportunity for sturridge to claim a first team sub role for the prem games, instead of mr average himself kalou. Link to post Share on other sites
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sturridge does deserve a place on the subs bench, and if we get any injuries, i feel Danny can step up to the plate and do a job for us, no problem at all. Link to post Share on other sites
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ......Henrique Hilario..........Paulo Ferreira..........Branislav Ivanovic............John Terry..........Yuri Zhirkov...............Jon Obi Mikel....................Frank Lampard.....................Deco.......................Joe Cole...............Daniel Sturridge..........Fabio Borini.....Subs:Ross TurnbullAlexAshley ColeJeffrey BrumaNemanja MaticMichael BallackSalomon Kalou(Would have put Matic playing, but hes not had much playing time in the reserves, mthats why i picked Lampard to start instead of him)Ive rpobably slipped up but its the team id LIKE to see playing vs QPR..

Steve 10,227 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 For me i'd like to see:..............................Turnbull...................................Hutchinson.....Terry.......Brauma.....Ferreira/Cole..........................Mikel...................................j.Cole/Lampard....................Zhirkov............................Lampard/j.Cole..................................Sturride/Borini.......Kalou.................

BlueLion. 21,484 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think it's more likely to be a stronger side than we think - Carlo won't underestimate a local rival in a cup match; its a level playing field. I can see something like this being played: HilarioFerreiraIvanovicTerryA.ColeJ.ColeBellettiZhirkovLampardKalou/SturridgeAnelka/Borini Link to post Share on other sites
