Re: Chelsea 2014/15 Preseason Thread

[Shed]

I feel like we don't have anywhere near as many pre season games, just because of world cup I'm assuming? Really hope players like Oscar, Schurrle and Hazard get a massive break.

8 games. I'd say it's about normal.

Wow. That haircut really is atrocious.


Great picture though

Diego Costa signing will be so bad!

Schwarzer has taken up the beard, I see.

[Shed]

He had it towards the end of last season, no?

[Kick]

I thought he was clean shaven?

[Shed]

Nvm. I was wrong.


Just looked up pics of him in the Liverpool game and he was indeed clean-shaven.

Look like a few mountain people have come down from their huts and into society to watch the proceedings.

RZ Pellets today

Bamford on tonight's game:
-

‘It might suit us more when both teams try to play football. Against Wimbledon in particular it was difficult because they stuck everybody behind the ball and that’s hard to break down.’

‘It can be a very stop-start game when it’s like that but hopefully tonight we’ll see some free-flowing football and hopefully I’ll get a few chances as well.’

Starting XI v Pellets: Cech, Ivanovic, Zouma, JT, Filipe Luis, Van Ginkel, Matic, Salah, Baker, Brown, Bamford

[Shed]

SUBS: Beeney, Delac, Ake, Romeu, Chalobah, Christensen, Swift, Boga, Solanke

So the 2 Spaniards not involved at all but a debut for Filipe Luis

[Shed]

And we're off

Home kit looks brilliant

[Shed]

Moving the ball around well but no breakthroughs as yet. Closest was Bamford taking advantage of some sloppiness from the Pellets keeper and very nearly finding the back of the net from quite a difficult angle.

[Shed]

Very nearly 1-0 again after a brilliant long-ball from Luis at the halfway line finds Bamford, who heads on to Salah in space, but the keeper just manages the save.

[Shed]

Another chance as Bamford puts Brown through in behind but the keeper saves again. Best chance so far.

HT: RZ Pellets 0-0 Chelsea


Total domination and some nice football, as well as a few missed chances, from Chelsea, but it remains goalless at the break.

[Rebelles.REUS.rex]

The Kit is amazing.
