Good morning my Blues brothers! It's been awhile since I've posted here haha.

any updates??
heard falcao comin to chelsea...is it true??

Paying tribute:




Always be remembered!

Ramires, Oscar and Luiz are playing right now.

Ramires just score a goal and Luiz is captaining the side. Hope Ramires get his goal touch again

Oscar assisted that goal, and assist one more to Neymar. Then Oscar horror miss, but Chelsea players have their moment

That's all i could watch, i need to go to bed.


EDIT: By the way, Ramires is playing in holding position. I ask Eddie Newton just now, he say he personally prefer him on the right.

This post has been edited by Zeuss1220: Sep 11 2012, 09:44 AM

Oscar is quite good.. I'm hoping to see him to start for chelsea soon..

Ramires score one only... from a brace bcom OG....

Anyway, Oscar scores!

This post has been edited by ZiyiIsmyIdol: Sep 11 2012, 10:53 AM

The same I can say when he missed his free header in Olympics final.

As for Ramires, I am a bit divided. He was playing well last season in the wing, but not as this season goes. And the problem with him playing in holding position is he always caught off position.


He is when he plays for Brazil. With age of 21 and playing regularly for Brazil, that should mean something, isnt it? Hope he can bring his Brazil form to EPL.

This post has been edited by jenglots: Sep 11 2012, 10:33 AM

not this again... after those malouda argument..

if he is coming it wont happen till January, and there lot of time till then, why would a club make a move now?

we couldnt foresee how will our new squad performance till then, or do we need additional reinforcement? not wise to pay ridiculous transfer fee.

Czechs claim Cech is to have surgery

helsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is struggling with an elbow injury that will require surgery next summer, according to Czech Republic's team doctor.

Petr Cech face mask Czech Republic
GettyImagesPetr Cech: Elbow injury

Champions League holders Chelsea are aware of the issue and have requested that Czech Republic rest Cech from friendly internationals, with coach Michal Bilek happy to agree with the club.

"An investigation showed a bit of ossification in his elbow, so they (Chelsea) are planning a surgery in England after the season," doctor Petr Krejci told the Czech news agency CTK.

"They have asked us if we could rest him in friendly fixtures. We have come to an agreement with coach Michal Bilek and decided to be on good terms with Chelsea.

"We are going to grant their wish and rest him. Petr cannot stretch the arm properly. If he has to stretch the elbow, it hurts him sometimes.

"There is nothing to be worried about, though. There is basically nothing that could make this problem worse.

"The only thing that could force an immediate surgery is if the intensity of pain would get much higher or if the elbow was blocked in some way."

Cech captained Czech Republic in Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Denmark in Copenhagen, which ended in a 0-0 draw, but he will sit out the Tuesday's friendly against Finland.

Bad news.

Im not convinced in Turnbull to fill in.

maybe can try jamal blackman

recall Thibaut Courtois? but impossible la.. he kept like 23 cleansheet last season....

This post has been edited by Gaia34: Sep 11 2012, 11:34 AM

anybody know if the A Cole's contract dispute will cause him to be benched for Bertrand? I have Cole in my fantasy team and dunno whether want to trade him or not.

really like this guy.

hope to see him play wearing chelsea shirt soon.

cheers

Hey guys, sorry off topic but i wanna help my friend sell this
Chelsea home kit, CHAMPIONS #12 lextra nameset. size XL boys. USED once, but still in perfect condition
RM270 and can nego pm me if interested.

sorry bro dont you think is bit expensive? XL boys cost RM160 in adidas boutique ++ lextra nameset wont make it RM270, consider lower your price.

hmm one question, the badge on our home jersey is it silver ? or gold ?

without peter cech we are f***ed

gold.. get it before it is gone..

He will only be gone for surgery on summer and dunno will be out for how long (btw when is this summer they mention ?) but he is not at 100% now, every stretch will be pain on his elbow.

dont think it's the right time to rest players yet.
Iva in good form with Serbs NT summore.

+ ppl shud know vs QPR is a DERBY match. not easy & worth more than 3 pts

This post has been edited by syazwan: Sep 13 2012, 12:59 PM

QPR...shoud be able to beg 3pts

I though think otherwise. Qpr match is the right time to rest players. Why? Because 2 international matches in a week and juventus coming midweek right after. Yes its a derby and people say derby matches are intense and usually hard fought but qpr against chelsea..meh. Im not saying qpr is weak but they are one of the weaker teams in epl so its an opportunity actually. Besides its the beginning of the epl, i think its not too bad to draw a game or two rather than over tiring your players or risk injury. Juve match definately more important.

lamps must play cause terry is not. he's the vice captain

i think this is the right moment to try iva-luiz or iva-cahill combo with cesar on the right.

i hope to see moses play. and also please start sturridge

Sturridge on the left anyone? Got watch his England cameo? He got some good balls in.

This post has been edited by Zeuss1220: Sep 13 2012, 01:59 PM

& it's the beginning of UCL too.

for me both matches are important.
if sked injury risk then no use splurge 80 millions.

it's part of the game. training oso can injured. Marin didnt play any competitive games and got injury during training..

my only scare for overuse player is Mata & 'luckily' he didnt get any call ups this week which is good for him to get some rest.

i heard Southampton oso one of the weakter team in epl but what i saw they almost snatch some points from both no.1 & no.2 of epl last season.

& bare in mind players like Moses & Cesar didnt join since pre season. it's always hard to gel with ur new teammates if u dont join in much earlier part of preseason. Which is why Kagawa & Chicharito didnt play for Olympic.

Counting since day 1 Charity Shield, it has been only 7 matches so far for the players (1 Charity Shield, 3 league matches, 1 Super Cup, 2 International matches)

doesnt sounds too heavy for me.. yet.

time will come for rotation esp during league cup on 25th/26th. + it has been like forever we use weaker side in the carling cup (except GK -> turnbull)

Well you have your points.
Yes it is the beginning of cl but theres only 6 games in cl group stage. Losing or drawing any one of those games are not same as drawing or losing any one game in epl. Besides juve is a strong team but definately you want to field a fresh strong team to face them.
Yes both match are important obviously who dont want to win all of them but we are talking about the best approach based on the scenario. I feel chelsea do have the advantage if resting key players ahead of the juve match.

Training can caused injury
Its a mishap ma. Its about taking precaution and making best decisions. If marko marin didnt train didnt play any games and got injured so? You can go tell your player hey hazard, since marko nvr train nvr play also injured, you play all the way until you injured ok. Fully utilise you for the money we paid for u

Yup we should not underestimate any epl teams but given some players having played 2 international games in ONE week and with juve coming mid next week, i feel its great to go against qpr because i will rest some key players. Its not the accumulation of games but playing 4 games with just 2 or 3 days rests apart is alot tiring.

Oh and kagawa got back pain and i think chicharito did play for mexico and he scored the only and winning goal

Oh olympic ah. Why they are not chosen i dont know i dont watch olimpic. Maybe mexico many young bloods ma

This post has been edited by Rhicebowl: Sep 13 2012, 03:39 PM

I'm just going to throw my opinion in. I do feel we should rotate a little now, considering the international break and also Juventus match coming up. We don't have to play second string against QPR, just few personnel changes. I would like to see Sturridge or Moses. Mata will start both games coming up. I also feel that Lampard should be rested, but then there would be this captaincy issue, but still i feel it isn't that significant.

And also i think we should get the debuts of Azpi and Moses out of the way, i know they haven't gel and all that but they have to start some time right. Not sure about Oscar though, his game against China was a day earlier, but i'm 50-50 on whether he should play next game or not.

should play goodly in qpr since it is away match, very tought ( more tought without peter cech) . and juvent match if possible draw is enought

Petr Cech injured? sorry i dunno.. why QPR match without him?

rotate a bit ok..but not like 3-4 players..

that's almost half a team edi.

CB : already rotate coz injuries/suspension(SuperCup)
LB : not really yet
RB : same
CM : apart from Mikel, yes
attacking third..not yet.

maybe can slot in Studge coz Ramires can play CM back (original position)
& throw in either Cesar / Moses.

tbh i want to see more Moses - can break in defence when the team cant do it.

Cesar still 50/50 for me. Iva is ok. only Super Cup last time damn bad. WCQ he's in superb form.. so he shud cont as starting 11

not to forget Bale of Spurs and so on. (said he's injured for team GB..dont wan go.. but next day already scored for spurs pre season)



This post has been edited by syazwan: Sep 13 2012, 05:30 PM

for QPR game maybe can give first start for Oscar, Azpi and Moses..

been awhile since i came here. heheh. a derby match this sunday will be tough. hopefully the lads can bounce back from that supercup humiliation.

For Mata, Chelsea and Spain reach agreement to rest him for international call up.
hope to see cesar and moses debut.
Oscar for starting 11.

I hate QPR for what they did last season! I hope they get relegated! QPR 0-5 Chelsea!


Chelsea might get Red Foo & Sky Blue (Luiz + Fellaini) in the team!



This post has been edited by ZiyiIsmyIdol: Sep 14 2012, 09:07 AM

Fellaini seems to become hot player for some times.. but he still at Merseyside now.. will be happy to see him join another blue

but to swap him with Lukaku, i will give a serious thought about that..

See how his performance this season first la. But i would definitely LOVE to see him continue playing for us.

he's definitely worth the place.

just wanna share , can dload wallpaper cfc squad 2012/2013 here ..

CHELSEA FC SQUAD WALLPAPER

who is the 4th young keeper?

jamal blackman reserve squad GK

Marin not yet fit but in reserve team atm.
Mata might not be ready for QPR, no injuries, only because of long rest.

This post has been edited by Zeuss1220: Sep 15 2012, 01:30 PM

FINALLY EPL IS BACK!
These 2 weeks has been so boring.

I actually still think that Oscar need more time before he steps into the first XI. We're flooded in the attacking trio, so the only place he can grab a place is at the double pivot which Oscar still need some experience at that position.
I will go for this XI tonight.

Cech
Iva Terry Luiz Cole
Lampard Mikel
Ramires Hazard Bertrand
Torres

I hesitated between Ramires and Sturridge. But I think Ramires will be a better choice here because we need someone to track back and help the midfield a little bit. QPR midfield can be deadly if they're on form. They are a pretty decent team, look down on them and we'll be punished quite easily.

Depends on Terry and Cole fitness, else, Cahill and Bertrand in for their place and Moses to start on the left flank.
I do think Mata need some rest, he looks a bit worn out and RDM said he's not sure whether QPR game is too early for him. We've Juventus coming in the midweek too. So I think resting him would be a wiser choice.

This post has been edited by ericling: Sep 15 2012, 05:16 PM

it more like defensive approach to me.

Sturridge or Moses has to start IMO. Oscar start will be a bonus.

My line-up:

Cesar-Luiz-Cahill-Betrand
..........Mikel-Rami
Moses---Oscar---Hazard
----------Torres

This post has been edited by Zeuss1220: Sep 15 2012, 06:53 PM

IMO we should not risk cole & terry for today match. Look at our coming fixture we have double fixture every week until the October international break. I will be happy to see Cole terry lampard mata all tested. Mikel & ramires/romeu at double pivot. Moses hazard Oscar or maybe S23 lead the line. Weekend against juventus. Don play play. Atleast tonight we should arrange more physical force in the midfield 5.

Rdm should start to rest some player. I hope he learn from aletico Madrid lesson. Last match is crucial especially am full of energy but our side is way too tired.

I hope to see.

Cesar-Cahill-Terry-Cole
Oscar-Mikel
Moses-Hazard-Bertrand
Torres

lol its still the same tactics..

Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:

1 Petr Cech
2 Branislav Ivanovic
4 David Luiz
26 John Terry ©
3 Ashley Cole
12 John Mikel Obi
8 Frank Lampard
7 Ramires
17 Eden Hazard
34 Ryan Bertrand
9 Fernando Torres

Substitutes: 22 Ross Turnbull , 28 Cesar Azpilicueta , 24 Gary Cahill , 6 Oriol Romeu , 11 Oscar , 13 Victor Moses , 23 Daniel Sturridge .

Exactly the same lineup that I posted just now.
Interesting to see Hazard playing in the hole!

no mata today =(

Quite defensive lineup.
No additional creativity or firepower. But added workrate with Rami and Betrand.
I hope RDM make required changes promptly if necessary.

I'm overseas anyone knows any good live streaming places? thanks! urgent!

astro no live later?

I'm overseas So anyone knows any streaming sites? I saw a few recommended in the old version of this forum...

sigh RDM lack of idea?
