Bacika 188 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'll be satisfied with 2-0 win...and I hope that we'll see Kakuta on the bench and on the pitch for the last 20 min of the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 We lost 3-1 at the DW Stadium last season against Wigan. Petr Cech got a red card in that game. However, if Blackpool can beat them, surely we can.Also, looking forward to seeing Ramires playing on his debut. Will he come on as a sub, or will he be chosen in the starting XIPrediction: Wigan 1-3 Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 It would be worth a wee visit down to the bookies and put a few quid on a double of Chelsea @ -4 and a Drogba hat trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo 1,729 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Another 8-0 smashing? I doubt it but I expect us to win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So why has everybody that has posted a team line up forgot about Mikel? If you guys honestly think Carlo will start a new player on his first appearance are going to be in for a suprise.. I expect to see him get a run but no more than 30 mins...

I want Ramires to start cos i just want to see him play a game in our Chelsea blue lol but I would understand why if Carlo puts him on the bench.

So even if he is the best man at the trainings, he will not start the game against Wigan... He will be just a substitue and he will play for the 30 lats minutes.

EskWeston 696 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I fully expect the same team that started against West Brom to start against Wigan. Ramires on the bench to come with 30 or so minutes left. No reason to change a winning team when there has been a full week break between games, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall 315 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hopefully we'll thrash Wigan. Lampard and Drogba hat-tricks. Ramires to get a run out. Branislav in for Paolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Any way, I guess for our four next games Carlo gonna line up the same team than against West Bro. Except one or two replacement (Ivanovic for Ferreira and maybe Ramires for Mikel).And Carlo will not make experiments, then no one young will start a game.So the starting eleven will be :CechIvanovic - Alex - Terry - A.ColeMikelEssien - LampardAnelka - Drogba - Maloudasubs : a GK - Zhirkov - Kakuta - Sturridge - Benayoun - Kalou - RamiresTo the sixtieth, Ramires come in. For Lampard if he's still not in fitness, otherwise for Mikel.And if we win : Kakuta for Anelka and Sturridge for Drogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when we're 2-0 or more up to the 60th he can bring on one future prospect (Sturridge/Kakuta). But I can't see Carlo fielding players younger than 23 years in the starting line-up in the Prem or Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might see some younger players get a run in a home game if we are in a comfortable position.. Although i believe Sturridge needs to play ahead of Anelka...
