And darned lucky we are.
Problem is that we don't have much of a bench to work with here.
Can't see him leaving that exact 11 out there though..jesus we are dire.
Something needs to give.
However this is a typical game where a team that is geting played off the park scores a single goal against the run of play and wins.

I would just swap Zola for Guddy, it is simply mad that we have a 50 plus goal partnership and so far this season we haven’t given them any time to play together.
Zola cannot go all game and a change needs to be made now, so I would rather it be him then Jimbo.

as you often seem to be. :)
I still find it frustrating that the Jimmy/Guddy machine hasn't been able to get going yet.
I hope to hell Jimmy isn't sulking about not going to Barca, that's all we fekkin need.
Zola and Guddy link up to almost score.
Soccernet says it was Jimmy

0-1.
Announcers said it was the fault of (surprise surprise) both fullbacks. Melchiot for letting the crosser have acres of space to get it in and Baba for chesting the ball right to the scorer.
Maybe we should play 2-4-4 with just Gallas and Dessa at the back and no FB's?

I think we will pull one back.
Then we'll both go bang at it 'till the end looking for a win.
Fitest team to have that extra bit of strength at the end to make it count.
GD. We need to win matches like this if we are to have any chance at the title or CL.
Come on Blues.
What like 15/20 minutes to go?

Starting to play better now.
Couple of good shots and i suppose Gudjohnsen will be chastised for missing that chance if we do lose.
I feel a goal (he said hopefully with fingers crossed) coming for us.

But Bates said it was "steel".
I say bollox.
Good point about the bench though.
What the fuk was Ranieri thinking?
As i type this babayaro fuks up royally yet again.
He's got to sit, simple as that.

Less than 7 mins.
Should be very little added time.

and worth every penny so far this season. Frankie is saving our bacon in these lowly away matches.
No goals from midfield eh? I smell a comeback.
Clan you're a genius. English steel could be the way to go. I think we should be thanking Sven for not taking Frank to Japorea, he got enough rest to start the season on fire.
Beauty.....1 more Chelsea....1 more....
