DYC. 7,542 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 They're a different proposition when at Ewood Park, however. We saw that with the two draws there last season. I still think we should win, however.The game was at Ewood Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hmm Liverpool beat them at Ewood Park with ease today. We should be able to that as well but we'll just need to step our game from the last weeks.They're a different proposition when at Ewood Park, however.

gary gordon 1,777 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hopefully the week off will have helped us sort out a few niggling injuries and player fitness.. We where unlucky up there last year. I would be happy with 1-0.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 But now the question is Ivanovic or Alex?Yeah and that's a very hard question to answer. But since we're playing Blackburn, I would go for Alex. Branislav can use the rest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branislav can use the rest as well.Yeah same. We need to put out a very physically strong team, since Blackburn are one too. While Ivanovic is strong himself, Alex would be a better option (I hope he gives Diouf a right nightmare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Bosingwa - Alex - JT - AshNeed Bosingwa's pace and trickery down the right to open up what will be a very organised defence. Alex is a must in physical away games and Ivan can use a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Fair point, but I'd personally start with Ivanovic at right-back and bring Bosingwa and possibly Kalou on to inject some pace into the game if necessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'd rather start with Kalou. He is lively upfront and tbh Anelka has been pissing me off lately with lack of pace.CechBos - Alex - JT - AshMikelEssien - MaloudaKalou - Drogba - Zhirkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 like the team youve picked but dont knock Nic he rarely wastes a ball.Anelka really slows down the play sometimes. He dwells on the ball a bit too much when he should be looking to run at defenders. Even against Wolves, his only meaningful contribution was the pass to Zhirkov in the build up to the first goal. Was a passenger for the rest of the time. But I'm pretty sure Carlo will start him over Kalou so meh ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Zhirkov has to shine for us against them since he can cause real trouble if he plays at his best. He is the only player we have with real pace combined with great ball ball control.Yuri :cfc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of our fastest players off the bal but simply refuses to use that pace on the ball. But Ancelotti absolutely loves the guy and will always start when fit..

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Malouda ? Malouda's pace is decent, Zhirkov is a lot faster than him. On and off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
