TomCFC 357 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So far this season our best football has been with Torres in the team. Our least-cohesive play has been with Drogba up top, the 5-1 against Bolton aside. In a way, Drogba's suspension will benefit us because his reputation against Arsenal probably would have ensured him a starting berth - instead, a hungry Torres gets to play. Every cloud...Stole the words right out of my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ivan at right-back and Luiz at centre-half... we will need Luiz' driving plays from the back on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGuerreiro 252 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 can anyone pls tell me if bosingwa is banned for this match or not. anyways considering that he is my team would beBosingwa is available for this match. Although I would prefer Ivanovic. But since that's highly unlikely this is my guess on the team sheet:-------------------- Petr Cech ----------------------Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Ashley Cole----------------------- Mikel ---------------------------------- Ramires -------- Lampard -----------Sturridge --------- Torres ------------ MataI have a lot of faith in Chelsea in this game, hoping for a 3-1 win.

BLionheart 516 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 How was Alex vs everton? You guys think he is in form to play against Arsenal?Slow , Heavy and certainly not sharp yet .... Certainly not in any sort of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Whats happened to Alex? ever since the Old Trafford game last May when he came on at HT and IMO single handedly prevented a cricket score he hasbeen horribly off form.We have twice played a Bosingwa-Ivan-Terry-Cole back line against Arsenal and got turned over, hopefully AVB is aware of that.Infact i would prefer Paulo Ferreira over Bosingwa for this one as bar the match at the Emirates last season Paulo has always done a good job against Arsenal (remember his little trick at the end of this fixture last season? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Turnbull for goal.I did not watch the match vs everton, just the highlights; in all fairness I felt that luiz should share the blame for the red card turnbull got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 CechBos-Ivan-Terry-ColeMeirelesRamires-LampardSturridge-Torres-MataOnly worry is Ivan, since he might not be so fresh. But if needed I'm sure Luiz can play 2nd half, especially if we need a goal. I'm glad we advanced in the Carling Cup without playing our first team.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I believe AVB's squad selection in mid-week will really help us at the weekend. Arsenal don't have the squad depth that we have. Anyways, I'd be really surprised if the starting 11 weren't: Cech Bos-Iva-JT-Cole Mikel Rambo-Lampsy Sturridge-Mata Torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave no confidence to the defenders, his kicks were poor, his decision making to come out and get balls were poor.A very poor performance all over, from what I heard.

Gave no confidence to the defenders, his kicks were poor, his decision making to come out and get balls were poor.A very poor performance all over, from what I heard.Turnbull was solid. I watched the replay and the commentators were talking about how solid he has been. And then commentators curse struck and he got sent off. Watching it Luiz failed to clear the ball and I wouldn't blame Turnbull for the penalty. He couldn't do muchOverall a good performance in the two games he played. Remember he was solid against Fulham too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
