[Archived] Chelsea At Ewood

[tcj_jones]

At least we're only one down. Hold out as we are and hope for some luck on a set piece.

[LeChuck]

Andrews or N'Zonzi for Roberts or Hoilett please.

I'd make a double change, Hoilett and Emerton for N'Zonzi and Pedersen.

Roberts can be the third change around the 60 minute mark if that doesn't make us look more potent. We haven't been terrible (one passing in particular was excellent), but we need to do more to get back into the game.

edit: bright start to the second half.

[tcj_jones]

And we almost just got lucky then!

[hollowsr]

Emerton on shortly, nasty knock for Drogba and Samba!

Dunn off

[DeadlyDirk]

Clash of the titans, be surprised if at least one of them don't end up with a concussion after that.

Emerton on the right, MGP in the middle?

[Balwer]

Emerton for Dunn. What formation now? Diouf left and Peds behind Niko?

[DeadlyDirk]

Emerton for Dunn. What formation now? Diouf left and Peds behind Niko?

That's what it looks like.

Samba was very lucky there, why are the referees so inconsistent, very little difference between the Vermaelan challenge yesterday, Mascherano's this morning and Samba's just now, yet one is a red card, the other is a yellow and this one isn't even a foul.

Not complaining, couldn't really do with him being sent off again but if that had been the other way around I would have been furious, referees are useless.

[Exiled_Rover]

Ha ha, Roberts on for Kalinic? Cock.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Fans clearly didn't like Niko going off.

[Balwer]

Niko off Roberts on.

[Pinch]

Crowd not happy with Kalinic coming off....Roberts on - I guess this us 'going for it'

[G Somerset Rover]

Sam outdoing himself with his choice of substitutions today .

[Amo]

Dunn off, Kalinic off. Sam calling it quits?

(Prove me wrong, Roberts. I dares ya!)

[Dan]

Sam you are a ###### idiot. Have you been watching the game?!?!? get ###### Andrews off. Sky think we are booing the decision to bring Roberts on, we aren't it's bring Niko off.

[LeChuck]

Crowd not happy with Kalinic coming off

Did you see the group it cut too when the booing started? Looked more like Burnley fans.

Not happy with Niko coming off though, the service is the reason he has played badly, I can't see how Roberts can do any better.

[Balwer]

Get N'Zonzi off, he doesn't seem to be able to make a forward pass.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Can't blame the fans for being unhappy, the lad works his backside off each week with very little support. He should be on the pitch alongside Roberts.

[G Somerset Rover]

N'Zonzi's passing has been terrible today.

Struggling to see where there's a goal in our side right now.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

That was never going to be a penalty for us.

We're playing a top 4 side.

[Dan]

Is Andrews even on the pitch?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

YESSSSS!!!!!!! DIOUFFFFFFFFF!

[hollowsr]

That was never going to be a penalty for us.

We're playing a top 4 side.

Hit the nail on the head, Alan Smith: Holding his ground, get lost

Get in Diouf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Spit!

[tcj_jones]

We're playing much, much better second half. As loong as it stays 1-0 we're still in the game.

Jones looks a good player.

DIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUF!!!

[G Somerset Rover]

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!
