capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh so now you agree with that do you?, you had the biggest argument of your life with me trying to convince me Mikel is good, and that was only about 3 weeks ago.What? Most still think.Mikel is quality, just not in top form yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago. 1,500 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Maybe emotionally tired, but he's played less football this summer than a lot of our other international players.Name them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Honestly, I think we should shut Mata down for 2 weeks. He really needs a break.Sturridge-Oscar-Hazard-----------Torres----------Mata will get his rest after the Newcastle game on Aug 25th as our next game after that against QPR isn't until September 15th. That is why RDM has asked for Mata not to be called up to the national team, so he will get a good 2 weeks off after the Newcastle match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 CechCahill - Luiz - TerryRamires - Mikel - Lampard - BertrandHazard - OscarTorresThat formation will dominate any midfield! Though I wouldn't play it against Reading at home.I think Robbie has the tricky task of rotating players while still managing to put out a strong side. For me the musts are a rest for Mata, and a start at CF for Danny and Cahill at the back and Romeu (remember this guy?!) in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It will be a tough game.------------------Cech------------------Ivanovic----Luiz----Terry------Cole-------------Mikel------Lampard------------Ramires------Mata---------Hazard-------------------Torres-----------------Subs:Turnbull,Bertrand,Cahill,Meireles,Essien,Oscar,SturridgeChelsea shouldn´t underate Reading,but with a similar performance like Sunday,we´ll keep the blue flag flying high.

TrippingStep 336 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would like to see Oscar and Hazard on the pitch.I think Reading will sit very deep and will not push us like Wigan.I think Oscar could use greatly Hazard with his back to goal.

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't expect to see too many changes in the starting lineup, but I'd like to see Mata rested and maybe a different combination in the double pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ivanovic was a CB, but imo as a RB he is quite good when attacking but out of pace when defending.If Mata is supposed to get a rest, playing a home game against Reading is the perfect time to start Hazard and Oscar together, no? Why Malouda?If Oscar is fit (I was not sure if he would be up to starting after playing in the Olympics) then I would be all for playing him instead of Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambiny14 25 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We should start to rotate a bit, Newcastle is going to be more difficult game, so everybody needs to be fresh. Malouda is still our player and is not THAT BAD as everyone seems to say. I'll go with him on the left side so that Mata can take some rest.-------------Čech-------------Ivan----Cahill-----JT---Cole------Ramires---Essien------Oscar--Hazard--Malouda-----------Sturridge----------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 RDM wants to slowly integrate Oscar into the team, so I doubt he starts tomorrow. Ramires however should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_n17 31 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 there is no real consistency, every squad player thinks they have a chance to start, this is good when your winning, but when we start losing things will get out of hand very quicklyrdm is too small to fill these boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Disappointed that Marin's still out, really looking forward to seeing him play again. Taking into account RDM's words from earlier, I've revised the lineup.CechIvan - Cahill - Luiz - BertrandEssien - LampardRamires - Hazard - MaloudaSturridgeShould be strong enough.
