Sidzeret

Ramires ain't that hard tackling, ball- getter that players like De Rossi or Yaya Toure who can boss around the midfield even on their worst days. He is more suited for running with the ball with pace- .it won't be a long shot to call him an auxillary winger. Yesterday was all about our all too familiar finishing disaster.

The Chelsea midfielders getting crowded out- pretty much the story of last season and so far this season. We really miss a combative midfielder.

The reason Roman appointed Mour is to induce stabliity in the team with long- term goals. Mata should play into the Mourinho setup and cement his place in the side. The question of Mata over Mourinho is obsolete. Period

Say what?

He is waiting for a dip on Terry's form to seal his first team place. Kalas- Cahill for Swindon

Oops, my bad.I doubt anyone is gonna get the lineup predictions right for the match.:-P

I meant v. Ginkel should be rested for Basel as he has to start the Swindon game :-)

If we ain't in he first team picture by he Spids game 4 games from now, expect a lot of rumors and transfer shit this January window.

Is Jose ever gonna play Essien again?Basel, CL group stage, no Ramires...i'd atleast count on him to come of the bench. v.Ginkel should be rested for Swindon game.

He and Mata ought to link up well. Should give them a start at the Basel game

I'll judge him till after the Spuds match. If he is shit then, don't expect good things.

Essien is definitely gonna play then. Positive Essien-v. Ginkel

Our next major test is against Spurs 3 games from the Basel one. Win there could make up for this defeat.Hopefully before that Mour can find his best team with the right bench. We can be unstoppable after that.

I wouldn't be surprsed if we start with a 3-5-2 for the Basel match just cause its Mourinho.

Michu can take me places

You seriously think with our current strikers think we can be the force we want? We need someone confident enough to score goals at a regular basis and reduce the burden to score goals on our midfielders. I'll be patient till January, after that its gonna be too lazy not to buy someone

What do u say about that, Ron?

Upto 4th..that's a first

I really wants Mata to score

Yea. like- for- like subs we're our thing back then. Now its 5-3-2 from 4-2-3-1..Thats one of the positive points from the last match- the versatility in our attack with a strong defense. Everton just got lucky yesterday

After that Everton match, we seriously need to think of buying a world class striker come January

Good thing this is just an away loss. We can still make Stamford Bridge a fortress

Bring back Di Santo

Best opportunity to present Azpi some much needed game-time.
