Fuck this up and I am gonna lose it...

[didierforever 7,349]

Willian and rambo shoukd be nailed on starters for this one considering they won't be playing arsenal. Play oscar too and hope he is no where near the starting line up against arsenal.

Cech

Iva gc jt azpi

Rambo mikel

Willian oscar hazard

Etoo

gonna be weird seeing Drogba at the bridge not wearing blue

[Jase 43,479]

Worth pointing out that Mikel, Lampard and Ramires are all 1 yellow card away from a 1 game suspension in Europe. Each of them are already on 2 YCs.

Etoo

Schurrle for Oscar maybe?

[didierforever 7,349]

Nah. Then I am pretty sure jose will start oscar against arsenal. At this point, I would take 3 points against arsenal over a win against gala.

[Jase 43,479]

By the way, Galatasaray also failed to win their league game this weekend though they didn't lose. Drew 0-0 with Karabükspor. They are in 2nd and sit 2 points behind Fenerbahce who have played 2 games less than them.

Chelsea 0.5 - Drogba Saray 0

Those two need some time on the bench. Largely ineffective for a while.

A mere 0-0 would do it seeing how we struggled today

salah n matic are cup tied. Luiz is STILL injured. If we rest both, we barely make up the numbers.

Lampard as No.10 and Schurrle on the left. Oscar and Willian can be benched.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Cech - Ivan, Cahill, JT, Azpi - Ramires, Lampard - Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle - Eto'o

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Hopefully Schurrle starts this one alongside Etoo

[cosmicway 1,252]

We have seen so far:

- League expadition in the doledrums.

- League cup - too boring - abandon.

- FA cup - too boring - abandon.

- CL qualifications against various reserve sides.

Some glimpses of quality football. If (this) City win the 2014 championship it's a disgrace for the English premier. If Arsenal win, they at least try and are a notch better than their previous lumberjack incarnations.

I expect some fighting at least.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

The key to us beating teams is simple, score and kill off the game in the 1st half.

[Henrique 9,133]

There is no secret here, Jose will come up with something like:

Cech; Ivan, Cahill, Terry, Azi; Mikel, Ramires, Oscar (Lampard), Willian; Etoo.

Final result: 3-0
