Closed Chelsea v Newcastle

[Strike 6,961]

the debut of Mohamed Messi

[Mustafa 885]

Cech

Azpilicueta Cahill Terry Cole

Ramires Matic

Willian Oscar Hazard

Eto'o

We have a tricky away game on the Tuesday following this game. I think and I hope we can let the likes of Ba, Shirley and Salah get a start.

This is what I reckon we'll go with:

Cech; Azpi, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Ba

With Salah coming on towards the end

[Mustafa 885]

As important as winning this game is, I hope we'll go into this game with the opportunity of over taking Arsenal.

[Special Juan 27,102]

Got a feeling this could be similar to WHU, they will come and try the same so start with Hazard, Willian and Oscar with Ba up top.

Another crucial game.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

We just cannot let all that hard work go up in smoke against Newcastle. Without Cabaye and Remy, any PL side can beat the Magpies.

After Etihad, there is no way anyone from our back four and Matic are not starting. Hazard, Oscar and Willian are pretty much auto-fill from now on.

Rami needs to get a rest and an early appearance from Schurrle.

My team

Cech

Azpi-Cahill-Terry-Cole

Matic-Lampard

Salah-Oscar-Hazard

Ba

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I feel Ba and Andre deserve to start this one. Willian deserves some rest.

[The_Flash 1,144]

After amazingly beating City we MUST not drop points again, against small opposition. WE MUST WIN

[aerlgenx 49]

Let's GO BLUES!!! My XI:

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Cole

Lampard Matic

Salah Oscar Hazard

Ba

[The_Flash 1,144]

I agree we really should give Ba a chance, he surely can't be any worse than Etoo

[Shane 2,275]

The game last night would have really taken it out of the players, and with the game on Saturday and then Tuesday we have to keep our players fit.

I'd like to see

Cech

Ivanovic - Terry - Cahill - Azpilicueta

Lampard - Matic

Salah - Oscar - Hazard

Ba

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Eto'o has not been bad for us. He did well for us against City and I appreciated his efforts. There wasn't really anything else he could have done more and so his contributions should be acknowledged.

Reason why I said Ba should play is because Eto'o deserves some rest and needs to be kept fresh. I am sure Ba will try and prove himself to all his doubters. With Torres injured,this is his time to shine and I believe a match against his former club may be a great platform to showcase that.

[yuvala 2,167]

Hazard - Oscar - Salah

[HD3D 1,038]

Hopefully we'll get to see Salah in action.

[Special Juan 27,102]

Excuse me Newcastle, would you like Salah with that

[Svita 10 186]

My starting XI:
Cech

Azpi, Gary, JT, Ashley

Lampard, Matic

Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard

Ba
And I hope Mo Salah will get a chance. Really looking forward to see him.

The way Newcastle played in there derby the other day, i cant see us not winning this one.

So did West Ham, tbf I am worry if those bar codes come and park it. We are AMAZING at counter attack but when we get to dominate we don't often do well.

the debut of Mohamed Messi

Messi doesn't hate Israel though

Got a feeling this could be similar to WHU, they will come and try the same so start with Hazard, Willian and Oscar with Ba up top.

Another crucial game.

Would be a huge facepalm if Mikel somehow starts this one again. I think we should go all out attack, they aren't the same without Remy and Cabaye. Ba probably not because I think he is useless, Eto'o might misses chances but he is much faster and better involved in the game. Willian need a rest imo, virtually ran like 85 mins yesterday, Salah or Schurrle will probably start. Hazard and Oscar are a must. Matic as well, Luiz or Lampard to partner him.
