Chelsea?

Don't think Mata is tired, he's fatigued and probably isn't excited to see a ball. After the Newcastle game we should put him in a cave until maybe the game before arsenal.

Ok so is this happening?

Rdm said he can play as a #8, I wonder if he considers Lampard a #8.

1-0 is not the time to boost a player's confidence. I also think we need someone in the attack the will remind the new guys "I'm playing for Chelsea". Can't have a team of all youngsters. But lamps needs to be played sparingly so he should play against reading. Mata should be rested also. Mikel--Essien/Raul M Eden---Oscar---Danny Torres.

Pleased RDM wants to play Osca. Just can't wait to see his positioning.

from watching their games, they seem more talented than us

that comment wasn't entirely serious. I just wanted Danny rather than Ryan starting. But I liked the way Ryan played on the wing.

We can use Bertrand as a back up to everybody. Lol, really liked the way he played today.

they should be the ones adjusting their line up, not the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!! LOL

So 7 defenders and 3 forwards. Positive football here we come!

hope he's willing to come here.

donr think he should start, start Danny on the right instead. But will be interesting to see where he plays if he starts.

Modric in and Moses. We cannot play a front 3 without a powerhouse type player.

so he isn't playing tomorrow?

I love the second from top formation only switch Mata and Hazard. Is 4231 built to be anything other than a counter attacking formation?

but giving our coaching history, how long will we need him to play the pivot or RW?

I say don't play Mata on mid week days and the Club world cup. But I don't want Hazard playing #10 in our current 4231

this quotemmakes me think a "deal" is in place but we are stalling to see what happens with the hulk deal. Wigan are just warning us this stalling might back fire.

when is he joining the team?

where can I watch the game?

nothing worries some members on this board

its kinda hard to argue against a guy thats won everything and not look bitter. But seriously this thread should be dead now that RDM is our coach.

I wasn't complaining about the disgrace to the club part, stand by it all u want. I was complaining about u rejuvenating a thread that seemed to be dead.

come on......... If u want the thread dead then don't bump it.

getting Oscar, Mata and Hazard on the same pitch shouldn't be that hard, surely wouldn't hurt to try a 433.
