Me likes Jose's team selection. But Andre misses out? Hope Bamford fills his boot with goals in Eastlands Beebs: Chelsea v Bradford (15:00 GMT) Posted at Chelsea are still aiming to win the quadruple - the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup - and boss Jose Mourinho has one eye on Tuesday's League Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool. He makes nine changes for the FA Cup tie against Bradford with only Gary Cahill and John Mikel Obi keeping their places. Didier Drogba, Petr Cech and Loic Remy are among those coming in, while 18-year-old Danish defender Andreas Christensen makes only his second start for the club. Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson makes one enforced change as on-loan goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has not been given permission to play in the FA Cup by parent club Sunderland, so Ben Williams starts. Filipe Morais and Billy Knott, both former Chelsea academy players, also start. Chelsea XI: Cech; Christensen, Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Mikel; Remy, Oscar, Salah; Drogba (c). Bradford City XI: Williams, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Liddle, Morais, Halliday, Knott, Hanson, Stead
That's because they prefer to have teams that were big years ago, like that **** that was on last night.
yeah right, and wtf they get to play on Friday? We never get that priv even if we have Europe mid week Watching Boro on Fox. Bamford is decent until now. his assist was disallowed for half yard offside (tight) call. Boro are good value. Hope we take care of our business with only 1 goal ad at this time.
within mins of Boro leading, they should have got 3 more. twice one on one against Willy & hitting post. City shambles at the back. Easily could have been 0-4. Hope Boro doesn't live to regret these misses. Lamps coming on. Should be more opportunities for Boro now.
no it is not. Look at City touching down less than 24 hrs before kickoff from the desert. Spuds throwing it away. Maybe this was in the Jose's script after all. If not - I am glad, this could be end of Cahill & Mikel!
i dont think it is. its bad, but bradford got to league cup finals like 3 years ago?? they've beaten aresnal etdc before too, we also won our 3rd round tie, as opposed to itd, who got dumped out by thge dons in the first game if the LC. im still pissed mind you, but lets be real here.
