[Profondo Rosso]

No Beckford?

 

[Matt_B]

Beckford as well I assume?

 

[Graz]

Konchesky in for Kennedy as the only change. Good call.

Come on Leicester!

 

[Matt_B]

only 10 listed

 

[Profondo Rosso]

We are playing with 10 men? :icon_conf

 

[Graz]

Beckford as well I assume?

Yep

 

[Cate Fox]

There is only 10 there...

 

[Dour]

Personally, I think we should start with a right back.

 

[M17TT C]

Come on City - great start to the day with Button winning the F1 and all the British drivers finishing in the top 10 so now just need a good win for City to complete a brilliant day of sport!!

Worth a punt at 10-1 too!

 

[Matt_B]

What's the Chelsea team?

 

[Graz]

Personally, I think we should start with a right back.

I think Peltier is the weak link in our team. I'm happier with SSL/Bamba there, who will be more focussed on defence than attack. They're likely to be up against Mata or Sturridge, so it's a key position today.

I think it's the right choice.

 

[Graz]

Chelsea team:

Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Cahill, Bertrand, Mikel, Meireles, Sturridge, Mata, Kalou, Torres

Strong, attacking line-up from them. Strong bench too.

 

[Motown Fox]

Mills not even on the bench so perhaps those rumours of him having a punch up witb Pearson are true.

Hmm,but he was on the bench on Tuesday. What to think, what to think.

COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!

Anybody know if there are 10 players listed in the OP? I don't think enough people confirmed it.

He was on the bench in the week.

I think it's just that he's 6th or 7th choice at the back now.

Possibly, but we have three centre backs on the pitch anyway. Whoever is at right back could just slot into the centre if we need to change it.

Mill's was in the Turkey Cafe on Friday night with some random blonde girl. Didn't look very happy.
