    Chelsea vs West Brom [live thread]

    Game starts in about 30 minutes.

    -Czech is missing
    -West Brom playing under Hodgson's tight defensive mentality.
    -Chelsea struggling to score a goal under their new coach.
    -Chelsea wants to finish top 3 this season, West Brom want to avoid relegation.

    What do you guys think?

    yeah it looks like the play so far, but I think I'll watch a couple minutes just to see how Chelsea are reacting.

    West Brom have a couple players that can score + their strong defense. Remember when they shocked Arsenal last season? They should have drawn 1-1 with United last week.

    On second thought, the market looks pretty sharp on this one. Probably 2-0 / 3-1 for Chelsea.

    JOHON I think you overrate the defense of WBA, conceeded 71 goals last season. Sure, Hodgson is a more defensive minded coach than Di Matteo and it takes time to make your mark in a new club, but as you could see against United they still play very open and make mistakes at the back. You have to assume they have not changed so much until proven otherwise.

    Roy Hodgson Fulham side was much stronger defensively and had a terrible away record. I think Hangeland and Hughes form a very good center back pair. West brom has kept one clean sheet under Hodgson and as much as Chelsea have struggled, they are a way different home side.

    yep they are strong but Chelsea at home plus new manager lookin for first win should be easy money

    doesn't really matter if WBA get another goal or two before then (which looks extremely possible)

    most of the time Chelsea's defence let players through, or pass the ball directly to them

    Chelsea arent playing fast, no movement and creativity, players like Anelka and Malouda (not playing) are only interested when they get the ball and dont make any runs to create space for teamates etc. And Lampard seems over the hill, some new players like Mata and Modric would do them good. They already have some very promising youngsters in Sturridge, McEachran and Lukaku who could do well for them. Sturridge has already proven himself to be useful at PL level in Bolton last season. IMO they have to many attacking players that are alike, they need more wing type players like Mata.

    I'm actually getting angry at how bad Chelsea are playing, they're just losing the ball every time

    Also, if WBA have 8 guys defending in the box, you're not gonna score a f**king header are you? Most Chelsea attackers have some beast shots, so take some shots from outside the f**king box

    2.5 are amazing odds for WBA, but Chelsea could always get that lucky draw

    really don't think they will win though, not if they keep trying silly crosses hoping to pick out one player between 7-8 WBA players

    u3 above is a nice one
