sheva should play. only because he is there drogba is scoring. sheva plays an important role in drawing defenders towards him to free drogba

we lack width and thats why we are not the fearsome team anymore. opponents use to fear us when we played 433 with pacy wingers. i want that back at the cost of shevcehnko or drogba. we have never dependant on the strikers scoring anyway.

it’s surprising that you’re slating sheva. in fact, ballack is the one who is not contributing much. i want to see ballack out and see joe or arjen for ballack.

Both joe and robben deserve a start. is it possible to have lampard, ballack, essien, joe cole, robben, sheva, drogba all in the same team?

Well as joke
the team could be like this but we would have to attack all the time . and put on three defenders after we have scored 5 goals in the first half

sheva ——- drogba
robben jcole

lampard ballack

makelele

acole jt essien

cudicini

I agree that we need to attack incessantly but I think we lack players for that.Most of our players are slow movers like Lampard,Ballack,Drogba etc. For creating havoc we need really pacy wingers and strikers.Sane Robben most of our players are not in that mould. Thats why we play mostly in mid or at back and try to score in set pieces.Wish it could change.

I would like to speak with the editor of this site about some of the articles if that is possible.

Thanks!

Hi Michelle! You can mail to blue.champions@yahoo.com

Ballack has looked poor of late, not tight enough in defensive marking or discipline on the field. Also we have Lampard there to beild the first phase out of defense. I’d like to see Joe Cole replace Ballack against Bolton and see Jose persevere with Andriy. We need to play the ball to Sheva on the ground and in space, instead of over the top. Knockdowns from Drogba are not the best for him. Playing a 4-3-3 also allows defenders to be drawn away which would give him abit more space to run into.
Prediction 1-0 Chelsea.

4 ~ 0 Chelsea if we use roman’s formation, lol..

But i prefer this..

Drogba
Robben Ballack Joe Cole
Lampard Essien
Makelele
Cole Jt Geremi
Cudicini

let’s kill them we need a game in which we score alot of goals….. a 4-0 at least should be fine…….i don’t care about sheva or ballack even if they are not contributing to the team as well as others but i want to see the 4-3-3 formation once again with kalou up front with joe cole and robben as wingers……might be better to rest drogba and sheva…if that doesn’t come with any progress Jose can make a few changes at half time to make things right…i can’t stand being second to manchester when we are better than them…..so we’ve got some catching up to do.

Michelle has something to do with sportingo.com. She probably wants you to write for them. She asked me about the same. Good Luck

It’s nice to see that there are lot more people waiting to see 4-3-3 just like me. It’s kinda obvious that Jose has opted for 4-4-2 only to accomodate Sheva and Ballack. Therefore, given Drogba’s form, the only possibility for us to see 4-3-3 is by dropping Sheva. I was the one who was supporting Sheva and backing him. I still love him. But when we are trailing by 3 points and the fact that one more defeat could put us in a bigger gap, makes me worry.

And guys! For your information - There is a shameless copycat http://www.sports.lemonup.com who simply copies the articles from this blog and posts there. I’ve got no connection with him.

Guys! Do you know that it is rumoured that Chelsea has bid for David Villa at 22m? The rumour also says that David Villa is seen as a replacement for Sheva, who might leave in January.

I personally feel that Sheva is here to stay. He will come good and he will start raining goals and he will end his career in Chelsea. But this bid of David Villa seems to be true as Valencia has gone to the press to warn off Chelsea.

Yeah, u r right. JM has shown interest in Villa but Valencia has said that negotiations have to start at 100m for transfer.

That’s because they’re not willing to leave him. £100m is Villa’s release clause amount.

Is Villa really that good a player?

Villa is one of the most lethal forwards in football today with an excellent technique,vision and the ability to bang in goals as well as set many up he is young and agressive and will be a perfect player for the epl if this is true!!!

I also want to see the 4-3-3 again with Drogba in the centre and Robben and Cole in support but jose prefers the 4-4-2 to accomodate Sheva personally i would like to see Cole back in the first team or we might loose him to another club, he is young and is getting better by every game if he leaves it will be a big loss!!!

buying Villa is just all talk. I agree with Blue Champion - Sheva is here to stay. he will get the goals - it’s only November for goodness sake!

my pick for Bolton..

Drogba, Sheva
J Cole, Lampard, Makelele, Essien
A Cole, Terry, Carvalho, Geremi

Maybe you are right Jumbo but we must keep in mind we are a top team and really we cannot afford one of the 2 forwards to be out of form for so long cuz we are aiming for the champs league as well !!! And we cant keep on expecting Drog to come up with spectacular efforts , Sheva has to rise to the ocassion he is a top player no doubt but he has to contribute!! let him be a sub on the coming matches as well as Ballack and let Cole and Robben run havoc!!!!!!!!!

OK. The British press are having a field day regarding Sheva, which I think is absolutely disgraceful. The only thing the bloke has does wrong is not scored enough goals, but to score goals he needs to get the service. He has played a massive part in the rise of Didier’s fortunes but has sacrificed his own intentions.
Chelsea fans love ‘The Shev,’ and the media over here are now suggesting that Sheva will be leaving Chelsea on loan in January to go to AC.

Sheva’s problem is the lack of service from midfield. So that is a team problem and in partilcular Michael Ballack.

Ballack should be getting the stick and not Sheva. Against ManUre, Ballack was a disgrace. He was nowhere to be seen - HE IS living on his reputation to draw £130,000 per week from Chelsea.
When Ballack and Sheva signed I thought, a match made in heaven - ie. Ballack feeding Sheva wonderful passes for Sheva to run onto and to hopefully hit the ball in the back of the net.
MY dream has only happened ONCE and the pass was overhit - and that came in the 2nd half against ManUre on Sunday.

Sheva will come good BUT only if he gets the service!!!

COME ON CHELSEA
COME ON SHEVA

Chelsea Team:

Cudicini

Geremi
Carvalho
Terry
A Cole

Makelele

Essien
Ballack
Lampard

Shevchenko
Drogba

subs:

Hilario, Boulahrouz, Mikel, Kalou, Wright-Phillips

Not too sure this line-up is BCs cup of tea

COME ON CHELSEA

we keep saying that it’s only because of sheva, drogba has started scoring many goals. why can’t it be the other way round? why can’t sheva score using drogba’s presence? i’m sure they both get the same attention and marking from the defenders.

Hey BB58

I love Sheva as much as any Sheva fan would do. But what I’m concerned is, Jose should choose a team that would win the match. If this means leaving out Sheva or Ballack or Drogba or Lampard or Terry or whoever, he should do. He is a very bold manager and he would certainly put the team over the players. But sometimes I get the feeling that he accomodates players.

Well we win again 0-1 against Bolton. But we didn’t score as much as we wanted. Maybe we should be patient. Although I do want to see lots more 4-0,5-0 results. Why are we not scoring that much? too many maybes would be needed in the answers , but if the barrage of goals come in the deciding final stretch of the season in both the EPL and CL and we take the titles I am satisfied.
I told u guys we can only get better and we don’t have to worry about injuries whatever . That is the luxuy we have and we enjoy it.
My ManU supporting buddies are biting their nalis and keep looking over their shoulders to see where CFC is all the time .
Well it makes the race more interesting and fullfilling than ManU just slipping away without a fight. Look at Liverpool and Arsey shrivelling away before it’s even Xmas. A disgrace to call them “big teams ” . At least ManU is putting up a good brave face about it.
Roman

Dropping Ballack would be the biggest mistake agreed he is not playing at his best but he is strong,agressive and more importantly can score. he is also useful for the set pieces as well
For me there is no argument on who should be dropped its got to be Sheva scoring a miserly 4 times in achelsea shirt in 17 games is hardly the start for such a big signing he is not able to adapt and can neither score………he is yet to score in the champs league for which he was bought anyway!!!!!!!!
Recall J.Cole!!!!

Hey blue champ check out the points arsenel are adrift outta the race as early as december what do ya say?????
