SHEVA should start !!!!

My team….

———- Cech———–
Geremi—–Essien—–RC—-A.Cole
— Ballack—–lampard—–Bridge
—Kalou——Drogba—–Robben.

Bench: Sheva, Hilario, Mikel, SWP,Paulo.

We should go for kill from the start. Considering Liverpool’s home record, they will be a better team than one came to Stamford Bridge. Defensively they are much stronger than us even if Cech is back.

My prediction - 1-1 or 1-0 to Liverpool. (Hope i’m wrong.)

2-1 to Chelsea….and if we win at Anfield title is back for sure…..

Never say we’re gonna lose.
Bad karma
We have always won in the league against Liverpool
So will it continue to be .

0-3 final score

I’m agree with siddharth’s team and I think the key players for this match are lampard, robben and drogba..
i don’t think jose will play cech this soon. well.. as this is a big match, there’s still a big possibility that jose will bet on everything.. Go Jose!! don’t leave us!

Hope Robben crushes their side defence..!!
Hope drogba scores another magnificent goal!!
Hope Lampard be the man of the match!!

>>Go Blues~!! Crush them!!

If Chelsea plays 4-3-3, than, SHEVA should be IN and Kalou OUT. Kalou is a great player, but SHEVA has a lot of experience in big matches like this.Sheva is not in TOP FORM but, maybe this match can be a great match for him, so, Jose should put him IN the game from the beggining.

I agree Bardh Kalou should be an impact player at least for now cuz he can give the sudden pace and if JM wants both wings to breathe fire he can send in Kalou, i expect Cudicini to start , Robben wld be the player to watch , my prediction : 1-2 CFC!!!!!

Hey BC why hav u stopped giving pre-match post and team probable line-ups????

Definatly should play 4-3-3 i think, Much better than 4-4-2

Sheva maybe shud start but lacks pace on the wing, so maybe wirght phillips or kalou.

Cech

Geremi Essien RC Cole

Makelele (or is he injured)

Ballack Lampard

Wright Phillips (or Kalou) Drogba Robben

That would be my line up, cole and robben link is good, bridge may be in with a shout, but i hope we win this match after all thats been said this week. Liverpool players have started spouting off there mouths again with snide comments, but hey lets batter them tomorrow!

Sorry my team is spose to look like this

—————Cech—————

Geremi—-Essien—–RC—–A.Cole

————-Makelele————–

——–Ballack——–Lampard—-

SWP———–Drogba——–Robben

Maka is suspended…

Mine team:

————–Cech————-

Geremi—–Essien——RC——ACole

——–Ballack——–Lamp—–

——Sheva—Drogba—–Robben—–

Sorry for incomplete post….

Mine team:

————–Cech————-

Geremi—–Essien——RC——ACole

——–Ballack——–Lamp—–Bridge—–

——Sheva—Drogba—–Robben—–

Oh Poop Good Shout mate, just realised that!

okie dokie well this is why we needed a centre back, i dare say JM Might go for this……

——–Cech———–

Geremi—-Ferrera—RC—-A.Cole

—-Ballack—Essien—-Lampard—

Kalou——Drogba———Robben

Right wing is up for grabs along with centre back or centre midfield. I wish we would have brought a centre back would have made it easier.

Thats the team i think he may play, but ferrera is not a centre back so he may play manish’s formation, cant see sheva starting, we need width and pace to beat liverpool, esp pace up front.

Joeblue! The long pre-match post will be published tonight. Thanks for the wait!

BC is your clock wrong? it currently says #
Liverpool vs Chelsea
01 Days, 06 Hours, 40 Minutes, 23 Seconds.

the time is now 11.34AM

now 1 day is 24 hours 11.34AM

6 hours and 40 minutes is 6.14PM??

I thought kick off was 12.45?

my suggestion for th my team.
cech
Geremi, Essien, RC, A.cole
lampard, ballak, mikel
sheva, Drogba, kalou.

my prediction is 0-2 for chelsae.
if we can get this 3point, i will say the trophy is back again.

Good luck for tomorrow!

I\’ve set the countdown based on the clock in my laptop which is set to my local time. Unfortunately, the plugin takes the local time of the computer where bluechampions is viewed, for calculation of the countdown. I\’ve been trying to fix it for a month now!

A win is a must today. I have a feeling that if we take a lead, we will be unstoppable. And for God’s sake, we should play 4-3-3 and pound them from all sides.

For me Sheva is a must start in this match cuz think ,how he will be able to exploit Liv left side , with that stupid Riise and no L.Garcia,no H.Kewell and no M.Gonzalez they r damn weak there Shev can exploit this weak spot with Robben on the left and Big ol’ Drog in the centre , what say?????

1-0 for liverpool. Dirk kuyt………………….

2-0 for liverpool. pennant…………………….

we died

66 minutes : always 2-0. It’s over….

82 minutes : always 2-0. We are losing the tittle.

come to arsenal !!!!!!!!! LOL

Without 2 recognized centre-backs
without Makalele
The whole defensive core ripped out
Robben injured early
Goalie just back from major head surgery
No real impact substitutes
At Anfield against full strength Liverpool
Two balls smashing off the post
Whew ,we are lucky it was only 0-2
We played well considering the circumstances

Yup it may be our Darkest Hour , but let true fans stand up and be counted. Yes I feel bad .But not devastated.
Me , I will never give up hope.I’m 110% behind Jose Mourinho and all the players.
Keep the faith

Yes I am a defiant ,and a -don’t- know- when- to- give- up -son of a bitch.
The steely gaze in the eyes of JM and the all the players says it all. Any team in our way when we come back are gonna meet a steeled and super side with a purpose that no money can buy.

You cannot legislate for Ricardo Carvalho waking up this morning unwell. The full week of training would have included Carvalho in the back four and Essien in his normal midfield position or in fact playing the Maka holding role due to Maka being suspended.

What you can legislate for is the ridiculous in fighting between JM, RA, PK, FA and the whole heap of the Chelsea hierarchy to which I lay the blame firmly for this defeat at their door.

No Terry, no Boulahrouz, no Carvlaho - how the hell can you expect Ferriera and Essien to cope with the likes of Crouch and Kuyt. The first 18 minutes of todays game proved the above point 100%.

In the light of Chelsea’s defensive crisis, why extend the loan of Michael Mancienne to QPR until the end of the season? Why didnt they bring him back on standby? OK he might have been rubbish had he played today, but he might have been brilliant!!!

Why did Chelsea quibble over a million quid when Ben Haim was available. Why be so stubborn, why be so tight? Why do Chelsea expect players to play in roles they are unfamiliar with?

Another problem that caused Chelsea today, with Essien in the back four, Chelsea missed his drive and power play and this scenario has been repeated on other occasions too when we havent won games we should have.

What will happened next weekend? Ferreira is now suspended for the FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest on the 28th.

With ten days to go to the close of the transfer window, JM said in his post match interview he doesn’t expect any signings and why should he? None have been made so far. Well said Jose!!!

So. You lot that run Chelsea Football Club. Get youselves round the table sort this mess out and lets get on with it. Continue like this and the team will fall down the table faster than a sinking stone.

Yup
Although I said I’m behind JM & the players. I’m not behind RA with his sudden miserliness? No sir.
Even a blind man can see what’s needed.
Without reinforcements what BB58 said is 100% possible.
JM has the perfect case to present the Board . Out with the dough or say goodbye to all the titles.
JM now has the upper hand at CFC.

And if RA’s a true fan he should get on that phone and do some serious work together with JM. PK too.

You lost. Disgraceful performance

lets hope manu loose tomarrow to arsenal

we lost title, that’s it, let’s wish for Champions league.

Hi All, tony from chelseablog.com here - nice site. I’ve just posted this comment onto the chelseablog, but thought you guys might like to debate what I’ve said.

I’ve alluded in the past in my prevous articles to whether JM has shown wisdom in thinning the squad. Letting Gallas and Huth go, with WG going on the last day does look poor judgement now. The squad is now way to thin to the point where Liverpool and Man utd are probably equal in strength in depth. Look at the first 10 minutes and we looked like getting pumped today, hence why I said 2-0 flatters us a little. In my heart of hearts I think its too late for us to salvage the PL, 3 on the trot was always a big challenge anyway, but we have until late Feb to get the squad up to the remaining cups and CL challenge. SWP, surprisingly played well today and we aren’t in a strong enough position squad-wise to move him on. but Kalou is not good enough for this level yet - he needs a run in the reserves or maybe a loan to get him to the right level. Mikel, however , I am prepared to eat humble pie on because he has improved every game. Ballack simply remains an enigma - the free kick debacle between him and Drogs was plain embarassing and we’re lucky it didn’t lead to a goal for the Scousers.

Robbens prone to injury and thats a worry because we’re pinning so much on him. He doesn’t seem to like playing Liverpool does he? Ferreira is not a centre back, not even a reasonable stop-gap. Right back or nothing for him. We need to get a centre back in to cover us in situations like today, otherwise we’re in danger of imitating the walking wounded excuse of Newcastle. But, finally I think its clear that Joe Cole is an irreplaceable presence, not only for his skill and ability, but for the buzz he gives the team. When he plays everyone seems to want to be part of the picture. A sore miss and someone I’m not even sure can be replaced.

Lets take the smack like adults, applaud Liverpool for a hungry and efficient display on a day when they WERE the better team FOR ONCE. JM should give the players a few days at La Manga to rest and recover. and a chance for them to relax as a team to try for at least one of the other 3 trophies. What worries me is that any competition that is knockout is based on luck, and that certain Lady seems to have packed her bags and deserted Stamford Bridge in a right old huff.

The only thing concerning me is that chelsea go back to their usula performance. Until now so far this entire season we have never demonstrated the full potential of chelsea except maybe in the barca game. I hope that chelsea’s performance gets better for the champs league and next season because given out circumstances we have bleak chances of winning the EPL. We need to focus on the cups, and champs league as the EPL is far out of our reach. We should take advantage of this transfer window and BUY new players. I would advise we go for a central defender and a winger. These are the positions were we have the most injuries. We say that our players will get back from injuries and we will have our full fit squad but that has never happened this season. No matter what happens we have to stay strong, keep the faith alive, and never give up on Chelsea.

Hi Tony!

I’m honoured that you visited this little Chelsea blog.

I always felt that Gallas was a lost cause after his display of lack of discipline and respect. If I believe in the words published in the official website, he was absolutely a negative influence waiting to be a disaster.

We have to somehow manage or ’survive’ this month without anymore damage. Once we get Terry, Carvalho, Joe Cole and Robben back, Essien will move into midfield and we may not have to depend on SWP, we can have subs that can make a mitch-winning impact and our attack can move forward in confidence without having to worry about exposing the defence.

this liverpool result is unfortunate. we had meet a good opposition when we are down. no worries, we will come back with fire in february.

2 points behind now guys!!
