Friendly vs Feyenoord

[Alan]

Chelsea are back in Europe and Feyenoord are up next, with a more respectable kick off time for us brits (6pm).

Can't wait to see Pizarro in action, I'm gonna for a won for us, say 2-1.

[glory55]

Do you think Pizarro will get a run out tonight??

I saw him play quite a few games for Bayern and he is a real top class player!

I just cant see Sheva (for all his effort) ever making the grade...

...I think in years to come people will look back and laugh at the money the club payed for him!

But Pizarro is at his peak!

[Alan]

Do you think Pizarro will get a run out tonight

Don't see why not. He trained with the team and was unveiled at a press conference yesterday.

[bjd]

Personally id like to see him get more of a rest - 2 weeks isnt enough. Im sure we can do without him for another few weeks.

[BackInBlue]

Anyone found streams for the game yet???

[Kev123]

When I went to get tickets it was sold out. I am well and truly pissed

[Valerie]

[Kalou]

Anyone Have a link for the game we all dont have chelsea tv lol

[forbzy]

If anybody is watching it and has time for some updates it would be much appreciated. I'm particularly interested to see if Pizarro is playing. I've been looking for an excuse to wear my Perus shirt for ages ;)

[Valerie]

He's not playing, nor is he on the bench.

I missed the detailed line-up, but this I copied from the official website:

1 Petr Cech

20 Paulo Ferreira

6 Ricardo Carvalho

22 Tal Ben-Haim

2 Glen Johnson

9 Steve Sidwell

12 John Mikel Obi

8 Frank Lampard ©

24 Shaun Wright-Phillips

7 Andriy Shevchenko

10 Joe Cole

Substitutes: 23 Carlo Cudicini, 40 Hilario, 51 Sam Hutchinson, 19 Lassana Diarra, 17 Scott Sinclair, 15 Florent Malouda, 11 Didier Drogba.

20 mins played, Chelsea not very sharp, having trouble keeping possession. Feyenoord find their way to Cech's goal, have had a penalty claim denied (Riccy clattered into someone )

[Kalou]

havent seen much of Ben Sahar durin Pre-Season dissappointing

[Valerie]

Cech plucks the ball away from Makaay's feet, Ben Haim just jogging alongside Makaay, not doing anything to win the ball

[Valerie]

Chelsea starting to find each other, and winning back the ball when they've lost it. Lampard f*cked up a chance, and so did Sheva, shooting straight at goalie Timmer

[Valerie]

Ben Haim just made a good save. Sidwell is giving a few useful passes, Johnson is overlapping Joey a lot on the left, Lampard's corners have improved, but nothing decisive. Sheva works hard.

Makaay just wasted a good chance

1-0 to Feyenoord, goal by Kevin Hofland, heading in from a free kick. Defenders just looking, Cech coming out rather hesitantly to the line of the 6-yard box, but stays rooted there

HT.

terrible goal conceded off that set piece...chelsea's passing is brutal in the first half...awaiting the 2nd half, we can only do better hahaha

[The Moos]

Has FIFA introduced a new rule saying that penalties can't be awarded in a pre season?

This is the third or fourth time this pre season when we should have had a penalty. We need to practise on those too you know

[callista]

Oh dear, if this is Chelsea's new attacking look I don't like it much.

We only just about started getting into this game after 25 minutes.

Lampard had a great chance....puts it into the stands when it was 6 yards out.

Sheva.........has as gilt iron chance to score and hits the KEEPER, continually slipping and stumbling over the ball.

Glen Johnson....having a mare for me, continually losing passes and his defending has been rash.

And then just when it looked like we are starting to wake up and at least try to put something together we give them a totally free header into the box with Glen (yes him again) standing watching.

I don't even want to think what damage MU could do to us on this showing.

It's pre-season...I must keep telling myself that.

Feyenoord have not really threatened to a great degree but if we give away free headers like that and Johnson and Ferreira continue with their version of defending well they could get another no problem.

yes, that was disapponting :/

i was thinking about giving tbh a bit of praise, and then bang...

[Alan]

Sheva has legs like Bambi, keeps falling over

[Scott]

Something tells me I'm glad I'm missing this one.

you sure it says channel is offline

[Valerie]

Drogba, Malouda and Carlo on in the 2nd half for Joey, Sheva and Cech.

[callista]

Something tells me I'm glad I'm missing this one.

Yes.

And yes Sheva has done nothing but fall over or get the ball under his feet.

Remind me how much he cost us again?

Just dire.

Sheva's stumble in the box was a classic though
