new thread.

Blue reporting in

Congrats to Belphegor for posting the 2500th post in the previous thread and hence drawing it to a close.

Let's continue our Chelsea UCL mid-week game talk here!

EDIT: AH plokoon you beats me
I would like Josh to play, but don't underestimate Marseille

This post has been edited by ericling: Sep 28 2010, 07:18 PM

So long we've been waiting. Finally we get to see our youngsters in action.

Added on September 28, 2010, 7:19 pmYeah but then Ancelotti did mention he wouldn't be feature in today's starting 11, sub maybe.

blue blooded reporting in

reporting in new threeeed

added:

Not that I dont have faith in our youngsters, but we are really missing some key players and this is against Marseille whom has quite a good record for holding out against big clubs in the cup competition.

I mean against Man City itself we found ourselves struggling in the midfield without the creativity of Lampard and the lightweightness of Ramires..

This time, without Drogba due to suspension..

I hope, these youngsters give their 200% otherwise..

This post has been edited by kink_ass: Sep 28 2010, 07:52 PM

wah~~~
new tread..

good point. it won't be an easy game for us, and i hope we can rekindle our habit of scoring early. that's the only way that will settle the nerves of the whole team, and whoever it is that plays on the right side of our attack tonight. a similar performance to the one against city, and marseille will punish us.

reporting in first time on first page

benang baru , semangat baru ...

i have a feeling that we will win tonite..but Cech will not have his clean sheet..

for the sake of argument, Ancelotti have no any other option rather than to play youngster..our squad currently are not as big in term of quantity as we always have in previous seasons..

Who is going to watch tonight match along updating with this thread?
I got bored easily with matches when I see there's no blues posting in this thread LOL.

Another Workday for tomorrow Cant be with the game

nicely done borini! one goal and one assist.


huhu looks like there's a good mix of employees and students here. some are preparing to hit the sack, and others are just chillaxing while waiting for the game.

Ok guys, I will watching today match and keep posting.
3 guys already
More please?

Class @11am but im watching

w00t we got four spammer later. XD

Come on babe I feel weird when I the only one who post here everything when the game is on.
It's extremely fun to watch a match with blues. But I am wondering, where are you guys normally watch the matches?

Reporting in the new BLUE thread, keep up the good work TS!

Tonight's game is def notable for 2 things; DD's return and also to see if the boys can bounce back from 2 defeats and get the season going again. And DD here refers to Didier Deschamps, mind you

Looks like aw13 is not sleeping yet!

I thought you're referring Didier,Drogba
I am off to sleep, see you guys in 2.40

reporting in....!!..
rooting for the win ......marseille aint easy....got few superstar...in their team too

Usually at home cause I don't really know any Chelsea fan around my area.

Reporting Live from Stamford Bridge! Hehehe...

Nice new thread..I hope we can start with a new streak...winning streak...

My FM still in a good shape..playing Sporting and only sell my top players to Chelsea...hehehe...Hoping that I can manage Chelsea one day...I start from bottom..managing Sporting is a huge achievement...

Tonight gonna be Ramires night...i can sense the goal coming from him...hehehe

If wanna start from scratch, start as unemployed and open up the league 2 database. I started off like that.. hehe But take quite some time to work yourself till up there la.

after 2 consecutive defeats...we must start winning...again, play well...its not tht hard right? if yes, give to other players the chance to show wht they've got!
i set alarm at 2.30am....hopefully i can wake up....

Bro, FM11 out dy?FifaM11 too? any improvements on the games' system?

Back to topic,

Usually I watch at mamak with a couple of Non-MU fans

This post has been edited by kink_ass: Sep 29 2010, 12:14 AM

Yap I start with lower division club...but not as unemployed..at least i want to pick my first club...Sporting my fourth club... I must say this...it take like forever..

Kakuta or Sturridge to start???

I want Kakuta...but Sturridge level of poaching is better..

OM attacking is quiet scary..and I must say this...tonight Cech must work really hard to get clean sheet...

I don't expect Cech to get clean sheet but I'm more expecting our attacking force deal damage to OM. I want to see some youngster as well. OMG dilemma. :S

Tumpang sekejap =X
FIFA2011 is out so when is FM2011 ?

FIFA 2011 come out edi? Demo is it? I thought all games usually come out @ end of Oct?

moar of young josh i wan moarrrr....

Nope..but FM11 Release Date is Friday, October 29th 2010...still thinking want to pre-order or not..maybe after read saveral review..cuz FIFA Manager 11 looking good too...

I pick 3 points above youngsters

For me fifa is only good in, well fifa la. If wanna play as manager I still prefer FM. Maybe I prefer to see texts. And yeah I also rather we get 3 points... with youngsters?

Well, brief off topic reply :

Cos the last time I played jack lanun's FifaM10, couldnt get updates for the game so the 3D match engine really sucked. I like FifaM10 cos of the graphical edge e.g player's pic, lively 3D match engine etc

FIFA Manager 10 Up-to-date is a good light football manager game..relax2 bleh main. the graphics...is the main attraction...

3 points with youngsters...hmm okey!! I'm with you!

im watching n posting after the game like always hehehehhee

Hahah. I cannot wait for the game now. So nervous! Hopefully today's lineup would be;

Cech
Ferreira, Alex, Terry, Cole
Ramires, Essien, Mikel
Malouda, Anelka, Kakuta

Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Bruma, Zhirkov, McEachran, Borini, Sturridge

This post has been edited by Belphegor: Sep 29 2010, 12:41 AM

Cech
Iva, Alex, Terry, Cole
Essien, Mikel, Ramires
Kakuta, Anelka, Malouda

Carlo Ancelotti sure calling our players to be hardworking.
Good try by Malouda!

Scooooooooooreeeeee! One or two more then it's time for our youngsters to shineeeee!

Lovely pass by Kakuta to Anelka!

Wah Anelka shot damn power. Surprised the keeper held it well without problem..

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:04 amLovelyyyyy pass! We're like untouchable on the left side! Nice low cross from Cole.

Yeah, that's the problem.I wonder don't the French GK feel pain?

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:05 amWe're playing good at the moment. My stream doesn't go well

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:14 amPENALTY GOAL BY ANELKA.
I can't watch the match.

This post has been edited by ericling: Sep 29 2010, 03:14 AM

the penalti seems too generous from the referee, nevertheless it's 2-0. cool taken by Anelka

DAYUM ANELKA TAKES THE COOLEST PENALTY EVER

Oh yeaaaa. Slumber penalty taking again! Yay 2-0 up

This post has been edited by Belphegor: Sep 29 2010, 03:16 AM

i think the penalty is harsh..oh well, football is cruel

Yesssss! 2-0 already!..
go Chelsea go!
KTBFFH

DD stressed out right now lol.. Wonder what tactic he will use during second half..

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:25 amAlex the man wall! <3

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:26 amKakuta playing style abit like robben..

This post has been edited by Belphegor: Sep 29 2010, 03:26 AM

I can't watch the stream at all. I am feeling giving up man

their RB should be scolded kaw kaw..malouda and cole and anelka dancing like nobody business there

Kakuta giving the ball away too easily though.

get a goal no 3, n then subs josh in ...

No astro meh? /:

HAHAHA I know right?!! They practically sh*tting them and OM RB cannot do anything about it. Oh I love the combination with Malouda, Cole and Zhirkov.

we need to improve our passing.

From the first half, you can see that Kakuta got the vision to create chances. Only that he cant manage to place the perfect pass. Will come with experience I guess

---

Added on September 29, 2010, 3:38 amYeah, but I think the foul on Malouda should be a penalty.

This post has been edited by jenglots: Sep 29 2010, 03:38 AM

Left side - Cole, Malouda and Zhirkov.
Right side - Ivanovic, Essien and Kakuta.

Sedapp dowh!

If we keep the possession high, i believe this will be a very good match.

by the way, I am using stream.

Kakuta is fast ..but clumsy.. that is due to inexperience playing in the big stage im afraid

back to the winning way and as usual an early goal...

go, go, go blues...

anyway, that was a bad cross, but a good chip... reminds me on the zola goal againts norwich

This post has been edited by KidsCode: Sep 29 2010, 03:42 AM

Erm seem like we lack of player in the middle of the box. ANELKA drift wide to left, MALOUDA is there, A.COLE is there, KAKUTA stay wide at right, ESSIEN and ZHIRKOV outside the box.

mikel is a good youngster..bluffing to my friend who dont even know mikel..hahaha.....even asking me who the hell terry is..

Kakuta too nervous. Sighh. /:

just realize..our youngsters are so small..thin summore..

All underage ma.. not yet 21.

and i dun think their sexual organ is functioning yet..haha

Hahaha that one I don't know. Kakuta is promising but he just too nervous.. Anelka give him plenty of ball for him to show his ability..

---

Added on September 29, 2010, 4:03 amLooks like we revert back to 4-4-2 now. Ramires for Kakuta.

This post has been edited by Belphegor: Sep 29 2010, 04:04 AM

OM is sending a dwarf ... that is absurd for ivanovic!!

Omg power shot hit tiang! >_<

sikit lgi...alex gila sepak kene tiang makan biskut merri!!

Zhirkov making way for Sturridge @ 72th minute. Will McEachran make an appearance tonight?

Added on September 29, 2010, 4:17 amTwo time kena tiang! So unlucky!

This post has been edited by Belphegor: Sep 29 2010, 04:17 AM

Despite the win, its a not a really good performance.

sweet, simple and clean victory.....

Josh came on. Pity Essien, had 2 shots that hit/shaved the woodwork though

Indeed it is. We could've easily bag at least another 1-2 more goals.

Glad to see him play regularly now. Essien's leg too power. Always curve out wan.

Ramires getting better from this game although is not even a warm-up game for him. His passing and ability to find space to receive ball is getting better. Zhirkov Cole and Malouda combination was flawless tonight. Almost untouchable. Bison is soooo solid tonight. Our defense line are as good as always, plus Alex did a man wall tonight to block a shot and his power shot free kick is still deadly as always. Anelka looking great, but got found out and got closed down pretty fast as soon as he gets the ball. Malouda had couple of chances but never convert, Sturridge had a decent chance from Cole but I think he misplace his foot. Kakuta was awesome tonight. He did what he suppose to do. Provide ball, find space to run, he did what he had to do. Didn't expect a cleansheet but we got one tonight. Bravo to the blues tonight for taking 3 points tonight. Mikel's yellow card was unnecessary. :/

My MOTM: Petr Cech and Ashley Cole. Cech did quite a number of saves tonight and some are really risking his life. As for Cole, tireless defender. Running up and down, providing options, running pass defenders to do crosses, sabotage opponent's defense. Both of them got my vote for tonight as MOTM.

It's time to sleep. Good night guys.
