I was half expecting Fowler to start.


3-0 Chelsea: Lampard (2) & Kalou.

which player will lampard select to hit the ball against for his first goal?

i'd be amazed, full expect Chelsea to have this game finshed by HT.

Thats a very poor midfield

1.30pm KO mate, can't see blackburn getting anything out of this, they won't show the fight they always do against us

cheers y'all. it'll be a draw-put a pony on it

penalty

I think a Chelsea win would be what the Doctor ordered after yesterday.
As I've said before, I think we're far to casual, wasteful & careless to even think about winning a League Title this season.
Therefore Chelsea must keep picking up 3pts to prevent the unthinkable from happening.

We'll perhaps manage a couple of good Cup runs this season, but we're not going to win the League.

i tend to agree.

i think we could quite easily win the EC again, but the league will be a much tougher ask, we need a run of 10 wins now to stand a chance imo.

anelka looks very sharp

that rain.............

it deffo knows how to rain in blackers.....

its a bit fookin wet.

Not seen a match that wet in ages. The pitch isn't draining at all. If it continues to rain so heavily, it'll be interesting to watch.

£#%&! me, chelsea are all over them.

The side is rotated too much.
We're trying to walk the ball into the net. How many times yesterday was there an opportunity to hold the ball up & keep it simple, or whip a cross in first time?....& yet we'd rather do little flicks over the shoulder to nobody or keep checking & bringing the ball onto the other foot & as a result slow everything down.

After what we won last season you can understand an element of 'over confidence' ...But we don't look as hungry or aggressive as last year.
We've played Liverpool & Arsenal away without Torres, Gerrard, Adebayor & Van Persie....& been turned over both times.
We were the stronger & better side in both of those games (in theory anyway) but we couldn't cope.

It's all well & good beating West Ham, Hull, WBA etc.. but we NEED a big win to get the season going. Yesterday was a £#%&!ing giveaway.
We play City away in a fortnight. The players OWE us big time.
Trouble is I can't see us keeping a clean sheet anytime soon...

If the ref doesnt stop it, the ball is sticking in the water all over the pitch now

£#%&!ing robinson.

don't worry about stopping the ball robbo, just stand there with your arm in the air.

robinson could have got to that i reckon
