You sure he's injured? Watching foreign stream but he seemed ok when he went off.

The English stream I was watching said he was injured and that it would be a concern for Chelsea.

Good, was my inital thought but the stream I'm watching said otherwise.

Clifford is ON

TangyZizzle

Get in there the bison!

Lukker-

Get in Essien.

Essien scores a placed shot in a well worked move

TangyZizzle

Stupid challenge, Sinclair taken down in the box, penalty




eeeeeeh

or not..

Sturridge fires it into the wall, out for a corner.

TangyZizzle

Who's the kid wearing number 4?

Lukker-

This Chalobah boy is only 15 :O

Barr

Great to see Essien back

Glad to see some real football back and Essien of course.

TangyZizzle

Full-time, Essien with the only goal.
Its odd seeing Mikel as probably the oldest on the pitch for Chelsea

Patrick van Aanholt

Checked his wiki, born on the 29th of August 1990.. thats 21 days after me.. what are they feeding this guys in the academy :eek:

LanceStorm

cant say i was impressed by any of our youngsters, all over the place, headless chickens all out to impress and show off, no simple passing or flow to the way we were playing!!

half of them wont be in the next pre-season game once the first team players start to filter back, so we'll see who carlo wants another look at!!

had forgot jack cork existed btw, been waiting years for him to make the step up... but if him sinclair and mancienne dont make it through this year its surely time to be selling them off?

Failed acadameny players..

Essien.:)

The kids did well today, Mcrehan started slowly but became confident, Sturridge took the wrong option on few occassions but was much improved in second half.
Di Santo is not good enough.
Great to see Clifford come on and the bison is back with a bang.

Johner

Di santo was dog ****e. He has to be moved on.

Barr

Sturridge looked poor as well . hopefully he will improve.

His decision making was piss poor, always tried to over complicate it. He's got a bit too much of an ego for my liking.

Johner

I thought Sturridge looked bright but as Lukker says he made some poor decision's most notably the one on one. He has the potential though no doubt about it.

Good play by Sturridge, excellent lay off by Josh and great finish. Essien had an unreal left foot volley in the first half that smashed the bar as well.

Gonzovision

My take on the youngsters performance yesterday and where they might fit in over the season.

Jeffery Bruma - Will probably see some time in the first team squad early on, at least until Bosingwa is back, If Carvalho leaves will also act as cover for CB.

Patrick Van Aanholt - Little first team squad action this season. looked unsure under crosses.

Ryan Bertrand - Showed great pace but defensive naivety, will get time on the bench if Cole of Zhirkov gets injured.

Nemanja Matic - Will have his place in the squad with the departures from midfield. Looked composed and showed decent range of passing although drifted out of the game as changes were made. I think he will get his fair share of first team action this year.

Josh McEachran - Great lay off for the goal. Another year season with the youths and possibly some reserve football. Too soon for him this season.

Franco Di Santo - Will possibly be moved on. Borini ahead of him in the pecking order.

Nathaniel Chalobah - Many years left for him in the youth set up.

Connor Clifford - Looked composed on the ball and made some decent passes although a season in the reserves would do him a world of good.

Jack Cork - Been around forever and just doesn't look up to it, caught out in possession several times and gave the ball away after a bright start with a decent header on goal.

Milan Lalkovic - Not the solution to our right side problems yet. Doesn't look the player Stoch did. Won't see any first team action this year but still very young.

Scott Sinclair - I can see him being shipped out permanently at this stage.

Daniel Sturridge - Should be pushing for his place in the first team squad. Does show promise but also indecision when on the ball.

We also have to see Gael Kakuta, Sam Hutchinson, Daniel Philliskirk, Michael Woods, Kaby Djalo, Franco Borini.

Turnbull was worrying yesterday. In all of the 30 minutes he was on he gave away what should have been a stonewall penalty in any meaningful match.

Two players id really love to see blossom... Like to see Clifford go out on loan have him challanged, was gutted to see Sturridge leave, always a favourite of mine!

A report in The Times today state that Mesut Ozil's contract talks with Werder Bremen have broken down & that they could be forced to sell him or lose him on a free transfer next year.

Hopefully we'll put a bid in for him.

There would be massive competition for his signature if he decides he wants to go. Id welcome it anyway.

Carlo confirming the reason Cole left was because he wasnt given the salary he wanted, sad stuff.

I think your on talking about the 30million Aguero bid + Di Santo going the other way.

Would be decent business for us, Aguero is worth about that and Di Santo cost us over 5 iirc.

Hopefully there is some truth in it.

Just got my ticket for the West Brom game in the Shed Lower.

On Sky sports news now.

GavRedKing

Actually now that i think of it, if we have got in Yossi and shafted J.Cole, one can only assume that Yossi is cheaper weekly wage then J.Cole, but to pay 6million and let J.Cole go free nad subsequently join Liverpool is a bit stupid.

I would have much rather kept J.Cole then sign Yossi, especially in the way things have panned out for both players.

Anyway, ill always remember J.Cole for scoring "THE" goal that won us the league, that cheeky little back flick at Old Trafford

LanceStorm

best possible move for cole I think, could be a massive player for them whereas as spurs I think he would have only been a bit part player!!

best of luck to him, I hope he is the best part of liverpools religation season!!

Panthro

what do ye make of Joe Cole?
its not totally making sense to me, he was with a club that have just won the double and plays champions league football. to be fair he was really pushing for 1st team action on a more consistant basis towards the close of last season, although personally i always thought he was either 60/70 mins in him, after that the bad tackles seemed to start flying everywhere with him. he made a good impact sub aswell.
he demands a higher wage, didnt get it. so then he signs for Liverpool for 90G a week. how much more was he expecting to get at chelsea? if he was performing to say malouda's standard then maybe he was in a position to bargain a better wage agreement, simple fact is, he wasnt as consistant.
liverpool are giving him 90G a week, probable a place in the starting line up, whereas at chelsea he had to fight hard to earn a place in the 1st team.
kind of feel he took the easy road personally, maybe he felt himself his time with the blues was up and he wanted to move on, but as far as i know that wasnt really the case with him.

Reminds me of th eDamien Duff situation, could have stayed and fought for his position but choose the easy route out.

Although Duff's situation wasnt as monet related, I think he was to stubborn looking for an increase after a bad season of poor form and injury, hope he makes a good go at it on merseyside though, always ha d soft spot for J.Cole.
