dude u have to watch the game if only to observe kakuta's performance!
ehh i thought u caught the repeat last night? there was one around 8/9 pm. managed to catch those two through passes that i hyped on about again.

edit : another reason to watch the game is MIKEL had a fantastic half-volley from OUTSIDE the box which cannoned off the post!!

wtf. i checked the channels and there werent any repeats! damn it. i saw the highlights online and yes mikel left his part time job as an american football player. that shot definitely cracked the post.

how did ivanovic played? he did very badly the last time i saw him playing as right back.

actually it was a terry and iva partnership in the middle of defense. both did very well, and iva had a sliding shot blocked by green. ferreira was at RB and was exposed a few times. supporting the attack he's more than decent, but i'm worried better teams will really start to punish us down that right hand side. its that lack pace again. hopefully the boss willl be on the bench vs zilina, and maybe,just maybe start against city.

actually boss isnt that great at defending either. but he might be the more aggressive one compared to paulo.

yeah i know iva was partnering terry. but before he missed a game due to back injury, he was playing right back. well, its good to know that our center backs are doing a good job. cant wait to watch the replays tonight. unless astro decides to mess with me again.

Added on September 13, 2010, 12:24 pmif im not mistaken through wiki, the last time we met MSK zilina, we whooped them 5-0 aggregate.

i am not being overconfident as any team can upset any team but we should going into the game with the confidence, mentality and belief of champions. being overly careful is just going to ruin our flow and game.

i really hope we can have a go at the finals again this season. whats more, its at Wembley.

good for you u still can watch it on astro.

there's no astro for me here by the way. all under ptcl worldcall cable service

btw good win

yep at least the boss has the speed to recover, if any player sprints pass him. wouldn't mind iva at RB against zilina though. good to know we walloped them 5-0 before. time to review that video me thinks! the CL final will be at our second home, but we have to get there first. we're perfectly capable of course, barring any on-field 'interventions' from the men in black.

a start for yuri vs zilina? ashley could use a short break..

pct what??

ashley should definitely take a game off and yuri should definitely start against zilina. hmm. if bosingwa is fit, iva should partner alex in center. terry needs sometime time to fully recover.

Yes, in fact every members also should be given a break.. Our team is on average is quite not that young..

Anyway, I believe CA has a way to sort that one out, the same as when he guided Milan to triumph with not young player.. I believe our squad is younger than what he got that time.

PTCL is like Telekom back in malaysia. Am at a 3rd world country now. that's the best cable/satelite co provider here. Everything is ok except for power failure here. Last time when essien was about to score. blackout!! darn. can't enjoy the game that much except if i can find a battery for this tv

so far i am proud of chelsea performance and i like wearing chelsea's blue and walk all over the town

good performance by chelsea against west ham on saturday night. essien was superb...

Where are you? Ivory Coast?


Yes, he was.. After 4 games, this is the best game he had. Hopefully, he can keep this form, and no more injuries.

But at the moment, the most consistent performer out of our midfield players is definitely Mikel

yeah shah where are u man?

mikel is slowly turning into our black pirlo.
it does appear like carlo has given him a lot of encouragement to spread the ball around, and not be afraid to have a shot.
who do u guys think is ahead in the 'young subs' pecking order now? studge or gael?

Yes, but still he got those clumsy mistakes, once in a while.. Fortunately so far, he didnt make costly mistakes.

As for young subs, both got what it takes to come in and change the game. It would depends on the situation. Studge would be good if we are controlling the game, while Gael would be good if we are playing counter attacking fast pace football. I would love to see both of them playing together.. Kakuta place a well weighed through pass, and boommm studge scores.

I think Shah is in Pakistan. PTCL = Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd.

You better start learning to watch cricket!

BREAKING NEWS!

Lampard and Ashley Cole will remain in London. JT travels.

Another run for Ramires.. Or maybe Benny..

Anyway, I wish Yuri will takes this chance well

plooky u googled it didn't u
ashley stays back..hmm that's a surprise. looks we got our wish mad! ashley gets some down time, and yuri steps iiinnnn
still no sign of bosingwa though..

it could be benny's turn..or an extended run for ramires. not sure which i prefer...hmmmm

It might be a chance for Aanholt as well. Who knows

I still think it would be Ramires, since we are playing away and we need to get hold and be a bit caution. So, we need all the engines that we can get. Benny might come in, 20-30 minutes to time, to change the game style.

It would be
---------------------------------Cech--------------------------------
--Iva---------Terry--------------------------Alex----------Yuri----
-------------------------------Mikelele------------------------------
-------Essien---------------------------------Ramires--------------
---Anelka-------------------Drogba------------------Malouda-----

Essien and Ramires will exchange role, attack and defends, while our 3 mata serangkai in front, do their business as usual.

i on the other hand thinks it would be..

i think its good that ashley is left at home for some recovery time.

Added on September 14, 2010, 11:28 amterry needs a break and alex needs games to get into the rhythm again. benny is very capable of essien's role, he is the israeli captain and one of liverpool's best ex players. mikelele on form should provide the backline with some insurance while ramires can continue playing the Chelsea way. malouda is back and we all know how he terrorizes the left flank while kalou gives anelka a rest. drogba as usual will be center forward and maybe if the game is safe, slot in sturridge or borini.

i would prefer anelka instead of kalou.....vs zilina

i think kalou should be given more chance. he is picking up pace in his development and sooner or later, he has to fill in anelka's shoes. well, i dont mind anelka starting either.
