Woohoo

Playing a 4-4-2 with Lampard as one of the central midfielder is dodgy enough in defence, but without Terry it's suicide

Is that 4-4-2 with wingers and Kalou / Pizarro up front ?

I hope so too I just hope the ref is fair and doesn't give the big side a helping hand although I doubt Utd will need it.

Raskolnikov

Fulham didn't look a bad team at all today. They definitely deserved to come out with a draw.

Villain

Malouda Chelsea 2-1

Malouda and SWP being very creative.

I am absolutely stunned at the delusion about Sunderland in this thread.

Some people actually think they will beat Spurs?

WTF?

Came straight to this thread this morning. I haven't read past my comment yet.



*reached for slice of humble pie*

Im_No_Superman

Absolute cracker of a goal by Kapo. They showed some highlights before the match of him banging in some similar goals, he really does have a great shot on him.

evad_lhorg

come on birmingham!!!! unbeliveable goal from Kapo. hope they can keep in it. I have two chelsea defenders in my fantasy team but I dont care once the drop points

Raskolnikov

It's amazing to see Chelsea play wonderful attacking stuff.

Villain

Kalou had a great bit of skill in front of goal when he brought it over the defenders head and then turned another just the shot was weak.

Great open football but I can see Drogba coming on to score the winner.

he had better not! I took him out of my FF team for this weekend cause i thought he was injured!:mad:

Raskolnikov

Kalou looks twice the player he was last season, when quite frankly, he was pants.

evad_lhorg

jesus Essien 3-2

Villain

Essien 3-2 Chelsea

Mitch Connor

i thought doyle was supposed to be a decent keeper - has been at fault for the second and third goals.

Villain

Yes very poor goalkeeping

evad_lhorg

Must say though Chelsea are looking excellent

Raskolnikov

SWP having the best game I've ever seen him play.

besty

Come on Birmingham!

Don't know if I can see Chelsea conceding a third though! Good game.

RasTa

There is nothing more anoying then watching terrible goalkeeping.

Raskolnikov

Shevchenko and Drogba will not get a game this season if Kalou and Pizarro play as well as this every game.

Raskolnikov

Essien Goal.

~Rebel~

Have to feel sorry for Brum - a decent keeper and they'd have kept Chelsea at 1 goal. Doyle's having a bit of a nightmare out there, id say Chelsea are gonna run away with it from here.

dubmick

Doyle is having a nightmare. He has been at fault for two of the goals.

And he is supposed to have been highly rated

Raskolnikov

Chelsea looking great. The bargain basement signings look to be settling in nicely.

Raskolnikov

All over. In reality, Chelsea were better than the scoreline suggested.

mike65

Reading keeping Utd at bay. John O'shea prolly coming on for Silvestre so Utd to win in last min with JOS goal then!

Mike.

~Rebel~

John O Shea the new Gary Doherty?

zAbbo

Selling Rossi and Alan Smith doesn't seem such a good idea now does it ?

Chances are JOS will score !

it never did.

Hopefully.

Reading doing very well to be fair, their defensive game has worked brilliantly.

KdjaCL

that was dumb, red card for kitson after 37 seconds on pitch.


kdjac

mayordenis

never in a million years should that be a straight red, referee giving the game to utd.

Villain

Another big decision for the top 4, you will see that tackle repeated in every game of the week. Awful decision.

Mitch Connor

Harsh - but it was a 'tackle' with the foot raised and studs showing - it is supposed to be a red.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Are there any proper strikers left on the pitch at all now?

edit- don't think it was a red either

Villain

One foot to block the ball which was there, Tauren if thats a red you will see 10 of them every weekend.

mayordenis

technically if you actually follow the letter of the law there would probably be at least 7/8 sending offs per match, the fact he had his studs showing was silly but it was his first tackle, it was only 1 leg not a downward motion(stamp) and it hit a leg in the air not a standing leg which would be breakable.

KdjaCL

Think the fact he was never getting the ball sealed his fate lino and ref could clearly see that, where his foot went was nowhere near the ball so red card.

Did he block the ball? NO! He completely missed the ball and, with a high foot and studs raised, he took the player.

"Fergie is gesticulating, pointing at his watch and all the rest of it. Presumably campaigning for 25 minutes of stoppage time."
