It will be interesting to see if Ryan gets some time in this one.

It will be interesting to see if Ryan gets some time in this one.

I am hoping he does, he apparently scored a goal in the last match that was pulled back, for him pushing in the box. Like he ever does such a thing, please!
Luckily FSW is re airing it at 8 so i don't have to hop out fo work to see if he is. Either way Robben will be playing so I'll be happy.

So Nelsen is in midfield? Interesting...

I'll be tuning out of bigsoccer then this afternoon and catching the rerun on FSW tonight. Thanks SteveWWE.

Midfield?
Whaaaaa...? Well, hell it beats watching him stay warm on the bench.
Thanks for the info.

Probably not - Mokoena has also played some defensive mid this year. The Soccernet list is equally hard to read

From their list, I think the formation will be:

Friedel
Neill Todd Nelsen Matteo
Emerton Mokoena Savage Thompson
Pedersen Dickov

Subs: Enckelman, Amoruso, Reid, Tugay, J. Johnson (another American if you didn't already know)

Pedersen played at striker in the FA cup match this past weekend as well

[rebelzero]

one more thing:

Neill Mokoena Amo Todd Gray
Nelsen Johansson Short McEveley Gresko


these are all defenders on the club...

[Sundevil9]

From Yahoo:

Blackburn Rovers (Manager - Mark Hughes)
GK: 1 Brad Friedel.
DEF: 15 Aaron Mokoena, 22 Dominic Matteo, 29 Ryan Nelsen, 24 Andrew Todd.
MID: 31 Robbie Savage, 20 David Thompson, 7 Brett Emerton, 2 Lucas Neill.
ATT: 10 Paul Dickov, 12 Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Unused subs: 8 Tugay Kerimoglu, 13 Peter Enckelman, 18 Steven Reid, 28 Jemal Johnson, 4 Lorenzo Amoruso.

A better place for Ryan.

Crap... you're right, I pasted the wrong list in the post... my bad... lemme go find the right one. :confused:

Edit - you beat me too it.

[Lowecifer]

Good thing too, I'd hate to see Ryan watch Duff fly by him on the wing. He'll have his hands full with Drogba though.

except that Drogba isn't playing today...

Cech
Bridge Gallas Ferreira Terry
Tiago Lampard Makalele Duff
Gudjonsen Robben

Subs: Cudicini, Johnson, J. Cole, Kezman, Jarosik

then again, that Icelandic strongman notched his first premiership hat trick against us, something I hope we don't repeat

Ahh, I had read an earlier report that said Drogs would be starting.

[Bob Morocco]

Chelsea are almost certainly in a 4-3-3, maybe the most defensively adapt 4-3-3 in history.

[Lowecifer]

Oops, 0-1 to Chelsea

Robben in minute 5

It's Friedel's fault. He should not allow that goal. It's nice to see Nelson play.

There are three certainties in this life.

1) Death

2) Taxes

3) Fox Sports World screwing up a starting X1 - it's almost comical how awfully they botch these things up.. Go watch any MLS match and you'll see Christian Gomez playing the left flank when everyone knows he plays centrally..

Pet peeve of mine in regards to the fantastic coverage that FSW provides..

6th minute - 1-0 Chelsea with Friedel giving up an awful goal.. Should have saved with ease.

[Lowecifer]

Errr, guys, this is on tape delay tonight, so might want to edit that last bit.

[kennytt]

Robben out, Joe Cole in 12th minute. What a blow to Chelsea! He must be hurt real bad.
