[Archived] Chelsea Vs ROVERS

[AHoyle90]

Definitely not getting carried away, but on merit/form alone Hoilett is miles ahead of El Hadji Diouf at the moment. Five at the back worked a treat away at Newcastle, but playing 4-4-2 in consecutive games should stand us in good stead, I'm not a believer of messing about with systems and shapes every two games.

Let's hope Dunny is up to the pace today as he was against Liverpool because if not, we are knackered.

[philipl]

The Chelsea bench looks pretty thin...linky

On current form Sturridge and McEachran could rip us apart.

[Andy]

Bit worried with the central midfield pairing of Dunn and MGP, but you never know.

I can see Hoilett and Olsson scaring the life out of the Chelsea fullbacks and with the two we have up front (and Roque on the bench), there's every chance we will score at least one...

[Tom]

I don't get it Philip on current form wr have just won two on the bounce unless you mean the form of Sturridge.

Edit: I should add I expect nothing other than a comfortable Chelsea win but our last league game was the best we've played in years

[Rover-in-London]

Anyone listening to the pr job being done on radio rovers, so obviously being told what to say.

[martmitch]

I hope they go out with the mentality that nothing is expected, therefore give it a go, chelsea not the invincibles this season

[philipl]

Chelsea hit the bar- they look very determined.

[martmitch]

gonna be a long 90 mins

[imy9]

Rovers first shot on target, good counter attack, looks a very open game.

[Mr. E]

this is gonna be one hell of a match, one way or the other...

[martmitch]

so far so good, defenders are playing like heros and were creating a few chances too, cutting out any crosses very effectively

[beerwins]

Lowe coming on?

[Brandeburg]

Dunn of, Lowe in

[bennyboyt11]

Injured again?

[MarkBRFC71]

Dunny injured? There's a surprise ....

Holding our own so far though.

[philipl]

Dunn was playing really well. Huge challenge for Lowe now.

MB Diouf really impressive today.

[Wild Irish Rover]

Cracking quote from Setanta - "Players like Keith Andrews - you only know what you are missing when they aren't in the side.."

[AspRover]

Any radio commentary anywhere?

[bennyboyt11]

Good tackle on Ramires by Lowe.

[Tom]

Wish it was Linganzi instead of Lowe.

Dunny just proves again why Adam would be ideal.

Could do with City pulling level against Wolves

[Heinz]

Givet just saved us! Pfffff

Givet just saved us! Pfffff

[bigbrandjohn]

Shaka Hislop commentary is something else

[martmitch]

super tackle from givet, thought that was 1-0 coming up

+ good move and shot from junior

[Dan]

Shaka Hislop commentary is something else

I've never heard anything so bad! I was wondering who it was, makes ITV seem pretty decent!

[Brandeburg]

Stoke scored against Bolton, West Brom-B'pool 1-1.
