bridgekings Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Is it wrong that i'd rather watch us lose 2-0 with a team of young-uns tonight than the inevitable 3-0 win with a team of squad members. Of the team I posted above, 7 have made a first team appearance already and 2 have been on the bench. Hardly the under 14s is it. Phil, is van Aanholt fit again?

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted November 12, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 12, 2008 I think he was back in training last week but he's been out like six weeks so probably not match fit. I don't want the kids to play selfishly as I'm going to a gig instead and would be gutted to miss debuts. I've resigned myself to Stoch getting some minutes but otherwise it's a big total bag of meh to me, and I expected nothing less. Player a year to the first team from 2010? Baw locks.

bridgekings Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tis very frustrating. Would be gutted for you if any lads made their debuts considering the time and effort you've put into them. Have read in a few different places that Woods got given a squad number yesterday, can't see anything official though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawbag the gr8 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Squad announced on website TEAM NEWS: CHELSEA V BURNLEY Posted on: Wed 12 Nov 2008 Luiz Felipe Scolari has named an experiment tie for tonight's Carling Cup fourth round tie against Burnley.

Wayne Bridge is named Chelsea captain for the first time as John Terry is rested. Branislav Ivanovic and Paulo Ferreira join Alex in completing the back four. In midfield Mineiro makes his first start, while Juliano Belletti also features from the beginning in a more advanced role alongside Deco. In goal, Carlo Cudicini returns for a rare outing in place of Petr Cech. Youngster Michael Woods is named on the bench. For Burnley, Michael Duff steps into central defence for the suspended Clarke Carlisle, while Martin Paterson replaces Steven Thompson, who is cup-tied. Chelsea will line-up in a 4-1-4-1 formation as follows: 23 Carlo Cudicini 19 Paulo Ferreira 33 Alex 2 Branislav Ivanovic 18 Wayne Bridge © 27 Mineiro 21 Salomon Kalou 20 Deco 35 Juliano Belletti 15 Florent Malouda 11 Didier Drogba Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 26 John Terry, 12 John Mikel Obi, 44 Michael Woods, 8 Frank Lampard, 16 Scott Sinclair, 9 Franco Di Santo Burnley are expected to line-up in the following 4-4-2 formation: Jensen; Alexander, Duff, Caldwell ©, Jordan; Elliott, Gudjonsson, McCann, Eagles; Blake, Paterson.

shanyi Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Phenomenally stupid team. Why Malouda or Kalou need any more time on the pitch when Scott or Di Santo could be getting their chances to impress simply frazzles the cranium. I love that Scolari's pushing for more entertaining, attractive football and he deserves all the credit in the world for making us watchable again, but by God his (non)approach to youngsters needs a kicking. Lampard's just come on (and predictably nabbed an immediate assist). What's the betting that Terry and Mikel are the subs to follow him? EDIT: Phil got his wish though.

Poyplemonkeys Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 haha, it's not a kneejerk reaction. It's the most predictable thing ever. Play some youths who aren't going to turn up thinking the game is in the bag and maybe we'll get a performance. Trip to Burnley or not it's a game against Burnley that the likes of Malouda won't be up for. Hence 1-1. Against Burnley. At Stamford Bridge. If everyone in the thread saw this coming how can Scolari not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poyplemonkeys Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Here we go. Lottery of a shoot out. ****ing embarrassing this.

Well compare their performance last night to ours tonight, and Liverpool's tonight. Hence they are the benchmark. Because they consistently out perform the majority of teams in the competition whilst playing their youth players. Carlo is a bit of a penalty king. Touch wood.
