BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 We certainly have an incentive to win today - three points and then we're two clear of United at the top. I'd certainly take that so early in the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millzy_chelsea_fan 4 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 i h8 liverpool more than any uva team. we shud get essien on gerrard like in the champions league. we shud start wiv at least one joe cole or malouda because they have done well against shiterpool in past games and kalou shud come off the bench some time.my line up:---------------------------------------------hilario-------------------------------------bosingwa-------carvalho/ivanovic------terry-----------------a.cole-----------------------------------------------essien----------------------------------------j.cole--------------------------------------------------lampard/malouda--------------------------------------------lampard/deco-------------------------------------------------------drogba----------------------anelka-------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I can see us starting like this.HilarioBosingwa , Carvalho , Terry , ColeEssienBallack , Malouda LampardDrogba , AnelkaIn a perfect world though I would rather see Joe Cole start in place of Michael Ballack , against Insua ( who thus far has looked out of sorts in a starting role at Liverpool ) I think he and Bosingwa could have some real joy down that flank.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think one of the reasons why we lost last week was because we didn't have Michael Ballack. His presence and no-nonsense style of play is as important to this system as Drogba's goals and Terry's defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence and no-nonsense style of play is as important to this system as Drogba's goals and Terry's defending.I havent been impressed with Ballack at all this season, I really think his age is starting to tell.As for today's game, I can't remember the last time I dreaded a game so much, I feel totally sick.
