Hints and tips:
...Admittedly Kevin-Prince Boateng missed his penalty for Portsmouth in the match, but then he had ignored Palacios-Huerta’s advice to kick left of keeper Petr Cech....
...Even though he made one stunning save, pushing Steven Reid’s 33rd-minute snapshot against the bar, Petr Cech was far from the beacon of confidence he usually is....
...Five minutes later the match was, in effect, over when David Bentley nodded home Rovers’ third with Morten Gamst Pedersen adding a fourth in injury-time....
...Already without goalkeeper Petr Cech and centre-back and captain John Terry because of injury, on Sunday they lost defender Ricardo Carvalho, who in his intelligence and reading of the game may be the least...
...In between, a Claudio Reyna shot that thudded against Petr Cech’s right-hand post was the only US effort of note....
...Milan Baros ran on and poked the ball past Petr Cech only to be caught by the raised arm of the keeper....
...Only goalkeeper Petr Cech and suspended Dutch winger Arjen Robben were missing from his line-up....
...In that, Chelsea are unique in England: there remains a clear drop-off from United's first-team to the likes of David Bellion and Keiran Richardson, while few of Arsenal's reserves are out of their teens...
...At Stamford Bridge it was a different story as heroics from keeper Peter Cech gave Chelsea the platform to beat CSFK Moscow 2-0 and put one foot in the last 16 of the competition....
