EskWeston 696 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I doubt Kalou is a real contender for the central striker role anymore,I can't remember the last time he played as such.Very true actually, still there is enough competition there for Borini to find it hard to get chances. I think his time will come, like i say he has worked hard this season and i would not be surprised at all to see him come off the bench on Saturday.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 4-3-2-1 with Drogba up top and Kakuta and Kalou playing behind him. Usual suspects in midfield and Bosingwa coming on for Ferreira at half-time/after 60 minutes. Anelka, Malouda and Ramires amongst the substitutes. Basically:CechFerreira, Ivanovic, Terry, ColeMikelEssien, ZhirkovKalou, KakutaDrogbaSubstitutes: Anelka, Malouda, Ramires, Borini/Josh, Bruma, van Aanholt, Fumble.I say use the Christmas Tree formation as it gives Kakuta and Kalou free roles - they can come inside or go out wide and operate as wingers. My point is I expect Wolves to defend deep and as such the likes of Ferreira/Bosingwa and Cole will see a lot of possession so width will be supplied from the full-backs. That means with Kalou and Kakuta playing behind Drogba they are able to support wherever rather than just playing on either wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Think Carlo's introduced this system where anyone who plays in the front 3 is being asked to adjust to playing wide as well as more centrally. We've seen it with Nico and Malouda and Drogba who all constantly keep interchanging their positions on the pitch. Ditto with Kalou and Sturridge. So I guess the same's being taught to Borini as well. Makes man-marking them a difficult job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Home game against a team we've scored 9 goals against in the last two times we've played them at home??Should be a doddle! easy 3 points we can all hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think Chelsea have two gears they can play in. There is the gear they play in against Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, and the gear they play against the rest. I think we'll see us come out and try and walk to a comfortable victory. Remember we were 3-0 up after about 25 minutes against Wolves in this fixture last season! I doubt it will be as easy tomorrow but I think we can certainly get the three points.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Drogba and Bosingwa fit.Ramires and Alex to train at the start of the week. Lampard at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic weeds 446 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Jose Boswinga will start his first game for a year when Chelsea take on Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow (Saturday). The right-back has been selected by Carlo Ancelotti following a substitute appearance at Aston Villa last week. Didier Drogba is welcomed back after illness but the game comes too early for Brazilian pair Alex and Ramires who will return to training next week. Ancelotti hopes to have Frank Lampard back in full training by the end of next week. Source CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Bos is back! He'll need a 'few' games to get back to his old self after being out for a year, but i'm glad he's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisvettel 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Chelsea should win this easily considering our home form and Wolves pathetic away form this should be three points in the bag.

NattyBlue 44 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 The games at God's time for football which is always nice! I haven't missed a game in a while but I'll have to watch this from home, money is tight! haha Hope for a positive game and maybe a rest for Malouda? Zhirkov to start and Kakuta to get some game time because his confidence will be low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
