BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 as expected then, Mata Oscar Hazard, don't like the look of that, think we can stop Ba though! Lampard 10/1 first goal, il have a fiver on that we're bound to give away a pen. Lets try not to concede any more than 3 tonight, that's my battlecry :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bit annoyed about Okore not getting a start, not often that you substitute a CB unless they're injured but I hope it happens at some stage tonight, Okore really needs some game time after all the pre-season that he missed.

I'd be more annoyed if we played a player who was clearly off the pace after missing a good chunk of pre-season Not really, he has played against Chelsea before at least and he needs to get some game time as soon as possible. Hopefully he'll get a 45 minute run out after half time or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a confident lad but maybe Lambert doesn't wanna throw him into a debut which could potentially be damaging long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not surprised theres no changed, would be harsh to drop anyone after saturday. This is obviously an entirely different test though, we'll probably score but they will have too much for us you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the kind of game for giving players "run outs" you know I don't mean for the sake of it, I mean to help build up his match fitness and also I believe it would benefit our game. I think this would be the ideal game to play him as he has played against Chelsea before already. I also think that even though Clark played okay on the weekend, Okore will prove himself to be miles ahead in terms of ability. Clark hasn't won me over from a half decent 70 minutes of football, I don't think he is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
