Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Ryan should get to play more often, but Ash is definitely starting this one.

Malouda & he linked up well in that game, to be fair to them.

[Blue Armour 4,165]

Hope to see this, but its unlikely...

Alternatives:

Either Mikel for Meireles, Malouda/Anelka/Kalou for Ramires and Torres for Drogba...

[DONI. 1,291]

This is such a tough game. I don't think we're going to win in all honesty, but it's a new month and it's a new start, sort of.

The line-up I'd like to see:

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Romeu

Meireles - Ramires

Sturridge - Drogba - Mata

then bring Torres on in the second half because he always looks very focused and dangerous when he comes on from the bench.

Absolutely i agree with you Lum

[Billy. 2,739]

can see us winning 2-1 got a good feeling about this one mata and danny boy to score for us

its looks good ... and if we play that ... AVB should make sure Luiz and Terry dont come forward at all

Malouda & he linked up well in that game, to be fair to them.

Yeah they did, but i don't see him starting 2 straight games yet, at least not while Cole is still here and fit.

Hutchinson to be on the bench, or asking too much :eyebrows:

[SW_Blue 71]

No.

Meireles

Ramires ---- Lampard

Mata

Sturridge - Drogba.

+1 to that. I'd love to see this formation with any combination of players, but Sturr, Mata and Meireless must play and in those exact positions.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Hutchinson to be on the bench, or asking too much :eyebrows:

I guess he couldn't possibly perform worse than Alex vs Liverpool. From a fans point of view it's always better to see a player that is a true blue warrior rather than one crying for Juventus.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Alex is getting on my nerves already, can't wait till January.

Mine too, but what can you do, he's an admin :giggle:

[Sheva. 5,373]

Mine too, but what can you do, he's an admin :giggle:

I see what you did there

[Thor 2,122]

No.

Meireles

Ramires ---- Lampard

Mata

Sturridge - Drogba.

I'd love to see this type of formation, but I like Meireles further up the ground creating since he has good vision and a soft touch when it comes to finding the wingers with a ball over the top. I think Romeu in for Lampard and placing him in the hold position you initially had for Meireles would be a good idea.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Cech

Bertand -- Luiz -- Terry -- Hutchinson

Romeu

Miereles -- Lampard

Mata

Sturridge -- Drogba/Torres

I am so excited the game is on at a time I can actually see it!!! woohoo... now to find a pub where I can go see it!!! at this point I just want them to win... I have my list of players I wish AVB won't play, but honestly, I'm not up for the debate or am I sure that it has anything to do with their form since I haven't seen a game live in so darn long! LOL

Would love to see Hutchinson on the bench tbh. As Superfrankie said, I would rather see a game with a true blue warrior than a game with a clumsy defender crying for Juventus on the CB position.

[Kostas 1,468]

No.

Meireles

Ramires ---- Lampard

Mata

Sturridge - Drogba.

Diamond?
