Another beautiful game from chelsea, 3rd time in a row.... See guys.... .... We can play beauty and not boring at all.... But no matter whut as long as we keep winning I'm fine with tht...
Me thinks Ancelotti Wants all the cups this year but may lose a few players to Fatigue later on this season. Chelsea may have outstanding Strengh in Depth, but if Lampard, Ballack, Terry, Calvalho and Drogba all get Kanckerd By Feb (bearing in mind the players off to Africa) there could be some trouble.
Generally all teams used to play young and reserve players in cup matches like this but Ancelotti isn't doing like that? May be fear of loss? But it may affect the players' fitness, I think he is aware of that. Anyway the match was awesome!
Spot on but remember there are so many fringe players in the chelsea squad. Alex, Ferreira, Belletti who are good enough to play in the first team. CA has no other go but to test these ppl, that is why he hasn't fielded the youth
For those who didn't watch the full match but just want to sound like more of an expert than Ancelotti, I'd like to let you know that Drogba, Anelka, Essien, Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Ballack, Cech did not start. Although we had names like Deco, Malouda, Alex, Ivanovic and Joe Cole on the field they are no more than just standard players for Chelsea and we need to test them in matches that are regarded less important such as legue cup. This is why we don't have enough room for youngsters in the squad.
To be fair when it comes to concerning fatigue of the players, I think Ancelotti and his physios can look into more details of each player's physical condition rather than those typing keyboards on footytube
Wtf is with the veoh players doing 5min previews? Its freaking stupid and annoying!
Anyways great game by chelsea, surprised they didn't play their younger players though. Key players could fall to fatigue later on in the season, not to mention players leaving for the acn
Because we want to do well in all competitions.... People say carling cup is crap, but a trophy is silverware.... Liverpool diddnt put there strongest out and lost :/ not good.... But well done chelsea keep it up and do the same on saturday then atletico then Man UTD
Whats with all the fatigue thing being discuss.... .... Ancelotti bring along with him the main man behind "milan lab" (a fitness machine tht can measure and how to enhance player performance).... Thts why many milan players can play like forever.... Maldini.... .... Pippo.... .... So don't worry bout this fatigue thing, if you watch the game theres so many 2nd string players that are just comeback from injury, and some youngster.... Only a cameo appeareance from the drog, , so no problemo...
We got a world class 2nd string.... Tht also need to play week in week out.... Most of our bench are international player too.... So maybe thts why some youngster need to really show thier worth to break into the 1st team...
