Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Benayoun won't play, he's got some religious holiday.Still, I think Ramires, Mikel, Essien looks like the starting midfield.They said in the press conference that he is available to play. Ancelotti also mentioned resting some players, but with the CC game on Wednesday, i'm not too sure as to who he means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRMC 12 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I doubt Yossi will even be on the bench for Blackpool so im expecting Ramires and Kalou to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toft 7 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I doubt Yossi will even be on the bench for Blackpool so im expecting Ramires and Kalou to start.Why not? Impressive on Wednesday and Yom Kippur's done on Saturday, so he'll be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Looking forward to our first encounter with the 'Seasiders'. Think they will try and make it difficult for us. Perhaps with the absence of Frank, Ramires will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRMC 12 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Why not? Impressive on Wednesday and Yom Kippur's done on Saturday, so he'll be able to play.I just think that him not being around on saturday to discuss the tactics etc and no real need for him to play they may allow him leave. The daily star thinks him and the other Israelis will all miss this weekend http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/154218/Yossi-Benayoun-to-miss-Chelsea-s-Blackpool-clash-for-Yom-Kippur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 My first game at the Bridge this season, can't wait! I'm thinking 3 or 4-0 Chelsea, Malouda having a blinder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLionheart 516 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 well i would love to see one of our new signings starting instead of lamps , each of ramires and benayoun had only one game to show what they have and they both impressed but in so different ways because each one has a completely different qualities . ramires is a lot faster , tougher and better tackler also has an incredible work rate but his positioning and passing still needs some improvement , wile benayoun i think is smarter as he gets into better positions , he has a good touch and always lookking for the killer pass so he provides us with the creativity and spark we miss when lamps is not there but defensively and physically he is nowhere near lamps .that is why i think benayoun should be the replacement for lamps and ramires should be the replacement for essien or mikel .here is what i expect :------------------ cech -------------------------ferrera-- ivan-----terry-----a.cole-----------------------mikel------------------------------ramires----------benayoun----------kalou-------Drogba----malouda----and hopefully kakuta , sturridge and mcecheran or PVA can come in as subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 here is what i expect :------------------ cech -------------------------ferrera-- ivan-----terry-----a.cole-----------------------mikel------------------------------ramires----------benayoun----------kalou-------Drogba----malouda----and hopefully kakuta , sturridge and mcecheran or PVA can come in as subsAlex was rested against West Ham, can't see him missing out tomorrow.The only changes I'd make there are, start Ramires for Mikel, Essien can rest in the next game against Newcastle. Also, play Bena on the right wing, Yuri on the left and Malouda in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Judging by Carlo's rotation policy, I think we'll see something along these lines:CechFerreira, Alex, Terry, ColeRamires, Mikel, BenayounKalou, Drogba, MaloudaResting Ivanovic, Zhirkov, Anelka and Essien - all of whom I see playing against Newcastle.

That cup should be for the youngsters/players on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cup should be for the youngsters/players on the bench.Yes, the game should be for youngsters but playing a team of reserves is futile. We need some experienced heads in there, ie.:TurnbullFerreira, Ivanovic, Bruma, van AanholtEssienMcEachran, KakutaSturridge, Anelka, KalouPlaying any more than four young players would be Wenger-esque.
