Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 we need to play, great score many goals. Confidence is our best friend heading into barca game.Dont care who plays maybe get romeu playin again, but just pick up 3 points. we have habit of tropping points when rivals are going to. (Arsenal vs mancity.)please lets wrap this upguys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypt 241 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 it seems we all agree on resting some of our key players. But I wouldn't take this game so easily, if Wigan is in relegation zone (too lazy to check), they'll fight for the 3 points.Agreed , we can't afford to be complacent against lower teams. If we are serious about the a top 4 position we need our best players. Though i think Mata needs a rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No people are not suggesting resting some players because it's Wigan, it is because we have another game at Fulham 2 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wigan can cause upsets and we've lost points to them already this season daft to see them as a pushover.But agree Mata should be rested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 We have to remember that teams like Benfica are better than Wigan, and just go out there and beat them. Points are still important, we might be out of top 4 contention, but we mayaswell fight with Newcastle and etc for 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A win is all that matters at the moment. An early goal would be nice too, it would give us a chance to play our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 CechIvanovic-Cahill-Luiz-BertrandRamires-EssienSturridge-Meireles-MaloudaDrogbaYes, yes i know Meireles in centre, but there's no one else we are out of options, and i think we need ramires more deeper. Meireles is terrible when it comes to direct play, he wont be able to pass the ball etc, where Ramires can take on players use his pace etc. Meireles can threaten if he's given the freedom, and he has a nice attack on him, may aswell play him there. Mata needs a rest, rest him for this one. Malouda will no doubt play shite but we have no one else, and i also want to rest Torres.Time like this when Benayoun would of came in handy.

Trueblue1982 48 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Play Drogs, play Malouda, play Meireles, play Cahill, play Sturridge, play EssienGet the win somehow, go home, rest.Another huge 3 points tho because Tottenham are away to Sunderland and Arsenal have City. We can close the gap to at least one of them. I think City will beat Arsenal.i think sunderland will take something of spuds, and hope city beat arsenal, open 3rd and 4th right upif we win, i had a dream the other night, we finished 3rd and newcastle finished 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! up the chels come on boys 3 points ...........

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Every game a cup final yada yada cant afford slip ups espically with Newcastle level with us.Hopfully they'll approch the game with the right attitude rather then the 'meh points in the bag' crap cause that didnt exactly work last time!They need the points so be really going for it and we need to do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wigan is coming after two back-to-back wins home and away, so I wouldn't want to leave too many key players outside the starting line-up...Drogba and Sturridge should start.

the Blues 11 19 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mata needs rest in the worst way so I hope he plays sparingly in the next few matches. Use Malouda, Danny and Drogs and get 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I really don't want to see Mata on the bench either. The guy has basically played the whole season without a rest, i don't really want Ramires to play either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 would be a shame losing Romeu after such a short but promissing spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofchelseadom 41 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Extremely tough month ahead for chelsea. Some very big games very close together. I would take a 1-0 win over both Fulham and Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
