Reading - Chelsea - 10/14/06 - Pre/During/Post Match [R]

[prvev]

Damn it. Out for a goal kick.

[prvev]

Well done by Little tracking back. Come on. 4 minutes of added time.

[olegunnar]

Cudicini is out cold.

He and Sonko went full speed right into each other.

I hope he will be alright.

[prvev]

3 minutes left.

[aguy2die4]

chelsea goalie knocked unconscious! clashed with sonk midair after he punched the ball away. terry coming on as goalie.!

the keeper still not moving

[prvev]

Cudicini is out cold.

He and Sonko went full speed right into each other.

I hope he will be alright.

Holy crap.

Terry in Goal.......

[prvev]

Terry has changed his name to Hilario, temporarily.

[prvev]

This has been a really crazy game. You know what would make it crazier? A Reading goal.

[olegunnar]

So much weird sh*t going on.

Terry in goal. The game practically over as it is. What is the record for longest injury time? I feel really bad for Cudicini, but if we score with Terry in goal it will be about the same as a double deflected Chelsea goal in the first half.

[aguy2die4]

a lot of worries here all around. hope he is ok.

really thought reading could have scored in that last corner b4 the knock out inccident; Reading's keeper came out for that corner.....and now well, dont know how much they are going to play.

best wishes for the chelseas goalie cudicini

will reading be able to focus? enough time?

[olegunnar]

I guess its over. On the Chinese channel I was watching right when Dillon was about to be sent off they just sent it back to the studio and said whatever. So I didn't get to see the very end.

Can't wait to read the RichardL match report. Its the first time they've seen a loss at the Madejski for quite some time.

FT Reading 0 - 1 Chelsea

[prvev]

Its over..1-0.

Agreed, I hope Cudicini is okay. But Jebus, Sonko could go out tomorrow and play for half of the teams in the NFL as a safety.

[aguy2die4]

great game by Reading deserved a point at least. a lot happened. 2 reds, goal keeper coming out for a corner, cudicini knocked out.....this game had it all.

Seol did ok, was not 100% fit, too tired just having flown in from korea and a NT match on wednesday evening, but did his job in defence. reckon Coppel put him in cos he thought Seol earned the spot to start against Chelsea.

Little who cam on for Seol, had a good game, not a player who can skin his marker 1 0n 1 but a player who can recieve the ball at the wings and put in crosses

Reading over all great performance, cant take anything away from them. Pepole are going to have to re-evaluate Reading totally.

in This game Reading proved that they are not just here to steal points away, but to actually win them outright.

[Native Aztexan]

Its over..1-0.

Agreed, I hope Cudicini is okay. But Jebus, Sonko could go out tomorrow and play for half of the teams in the NFL as a safety.
If he did, I wish he would've done it on T.O. just to shut his big mouth up. :rolleyes:

Well that home unbeaten streak was bound to happen.

And where was De La Cruz?

I hope both GKs are alright.

[prvev]

In retrospect, I wish Little had started and Seol would have been able to come off the bench and add energy when it was 11 v 10. But who knows what would have happened then.

[prvev]

And where was De La Cruz?

He didn't look great against West Ham so he wasn't in the team, but I'm pretty sure he'll be in the squad instead of Bikey next time. He may have to start, depending on how badly Murty is hurt.

[aguy2die4]

In retrospect, I wish Little had started and Seol would have been able to come off the bench and add energy when it was 11 v 10. But who knows what would have happened then.

yes, with hindsight that may have worked better.

Little could have done his defensive duties with some crosses in in the 1st half. and perhaps Seol could have come on in the last 30min when Reading had 11men adv. and focused on skinning Chelase to vary the attacks, seeing as Chelsea when they were reduced to 10 men, pretty much decided to bunker in and defend the lead and counter attack. this would have put on less presure on Seol to defend and he would have had more space, time and energy to go up.

still Reading deserved a draw today.

[Native Aztexan]

In retrospect, I wish Little had started and Seol would have been able to come off the bench and add energy when it was 11 v 10. But who knows what would have happened then.
Especially when Seol had to go back and forth between club and international duties, you would've think that Coppell would start Little instead of him. But I guess that Coppell thinks thta Seol would do better going at Chelsea's left side than Little.

And Bikey's 2nd yellow card was a litlle harsh IMO. But what would you expect from marking the likes of Diving Drogba. :rolleyes:

As for Murty, does anyone feeling that he gets beating by his marker too much? Robben was able to get past him just like Cristano Ronaldo did a couple weeks ago. Perhaps his fitness is getting Murty down.
