The Moos Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) The Chelsea team tonight is: Aldi Haxhia, Nana Ofori-Twumasi, Ricardo Carvalho, Carl Magnay, Patrick van Aanholt, Michael Essien, Jacob Mellis, Liam Bridcutt ©, Miroslav Stoch, Frank Nouble, Lee Sawyer. Subs: Sam Walker, Tom Taiwo, Nikki Ahamed, Ben Gordon, Adam Phillip Great to have both Riccy and Essien back now and I hope they will be ready to play for the first team soon. Edit: Forgot to mention it was the reserves who play, but perhaps that was obvious Edited March 2, 2009 by ethicalstrategy
midlandblue Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 looks like Stoch has lost out on the first team squad to Quaresma
Ruh Buh Juh Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Will be watching with intent! Come on Essieeeeeeeeeeeeen!
wicksy Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I don't think either of them pulled up any trees but they both got through unscathed, which I guess is the main object of the exercise. Riccy played about 60 minutes before being substituted and Essien played the full 90. It looked as though Essien wasn't busting a gut but trying to work himself up to full fitness. Once he's fully fit then hopefully he'll replace the lethargic Ballack asap!
Orangutan Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Why was the youth team keeper playing? Anyone know? Says on the official site that both the usual reserve keepers were injured.
