Blue_Swede 4 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Anyone else going? About ten of us coming down from Sweden. We're in block 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Carlo said on CTV that he wants the players who are to start the CS to play as much of this game as possible so the starting 11 should be interesting. Lots of work still to do but hopefully we will see an improvement in fitness and the flow of our football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Does anyone know whether Cech has travelled over to Germany? I'm sure Carlo said that he'd play his Community Shield team in this game, but also that Alex and Cech would be available for Sunday. So are they ready to play tomorrow, or does he mean he won't play them against United?Did that even make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right that Cech and Alex will be OK for the CS apparently, but he may give them another week and have them ready for the start of the season.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Makes sense to rest Alex and Drogba for it. But I'd imagine Cech will play if hes 100% after Turnbull and Hilario's recent showings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I think benayoun will start behind anelka with a flat 4 in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall 315 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I just want to see Kakuta play, and play well. Really well. I hope he really shows what he can do. Then he might be a big part of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played the following team:Ferreira - Ivanovic - Terry - A. ColeLampard - Essien - MikelKalou - Anelka - MaloudaPaulo playing would surely indicate Carvalho is off.

Peace. 4,352 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 As long as it's not the diamond formation, i'm happy.+ 1Yeah, me too. In anyway, Chelsea just can't play in an other way that the 4-3-3. We saw that with Ancelloti and Scolari/Hiddink. After starting with the diamond, both of them return in the 4-3-3. Ferreira - Ivanovic - Terry - A. ColeLampard - Essien - MikelKalou - Anelka - MaloudaPaulo playing would surely indicate Carvalho is off.it's seem to be a good starting team.I hope see Kakuta substitute Kalou in the second periodBut, haven't we another player for the right back ? Like Bruma, Mancienne ? Because Ferreira --"... It's been years that we should have sell him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Kakuta over Kalou please! Haha.You do know that with that statement, i mean i would much rather see Kakuta start instead of Kalou. Kalou started against Frankfurt and didn't make a good impression at all. He's way too inconsistent. So i'd rather see Kakuta play since we dont have any other option for the right attacker position.Kakuta would surpass Kalou with ease after a full season on the highest level.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Nice to see Ivanovic getting a shot at playing centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 + 1Yeah, me too. In anyway, Chelsea just can't play in an other way that the 4-3-3. We saw that with Ancelloti and Scolari/Hiddink. After starting with the diamond, both of them return in the 4-3-3.I hope Ancelotti won't be stubborn and try to force the diamond this season.Our pre-season tactics point towards a midfield diamond though And why the feck is Ferreira starting?He's the last person I want to see playing against Nani.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Let's not forget Ivanovic had a shocker in the CS last season and then went on to be one of our players of the season. I'm not saying Paulo will, but at least have some faith in him. He's rarely let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I wonder if Carlo will give Turnbull another chance, or will decide Hilario will always be second choice considering he played the full 90 minutes last time (despite being shit).
