Closed Arsenal vs Chelsea

[petr.breu 1,618]

Rumours, that we starting with Mata, Hazard and Oscar...

[BOSS 372]

I know but Terry is so strong mentally and he remains such an influential presence. In my line up there is no Lampard so Terry's leadership is even more important.

Well i would not take that risk if there is such a good replacement like Cahill. In my opinion Cahill is the best Chelsea defender and i dont even care what people say. But i agree though Terry's leadership is vital. But yeh we need pacy defenders vs Arsenal.

Another rumour...

RDM has to continue with Mikel-Ramires pivot, ahead of them Moses, Mata, Hazard behind Torres #Cantgowrong #cfc

[Pizy 18,002]

Yeah, Ian McGarbage just tweeted that Mata/Oscar/Hazard will start.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I hope those rumours are true

[Ankit 3,176]

Mata, Hazard and Oscar confirmed to start

[dumps 284]

if those rumours are true (mata, oscar, hazard to start) we are in for a cracking game! still could go either way, but my god it'll be entertaining.

[Ankit 3,176]

@Arsenal: Arsenal: Mannone, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Diaby, Cazorla, Ramsey, Gervinho, Podolski.

[Ankit 3,176]

One change for each team. Terry starts and captains #CFC. Vermaelen back and captains #AFC

[DONI. 1,291]

Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Lampard, Mikel, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Rambo not in the pivot but the 3 Maestro's start

[Leif 6,006]

If the trio are indeed starting, Arsenal's wingers could have a good time.

I would've liked Mata, Hazard, Moses. At least that way we'd have a player tracking back and offering proper width.

We may not need to track back much though if the trio retain the ball well however.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Lampard, Mikel, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres

Confirmed? if so what the fuck RDM? No ramires?

[BOSS 372]

Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Lampard, Mikel, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres

We're dead omg RDM are you fucking retarded not starting Rambo in the double pivot?! Lampard just came back from injury aswell omg! NO!!!!!

[DYC. 7,542]

Interesting choice Di Matteo.

Come on Chelsea, it's been too long since we beat them.

[dumps 284]

Arsenal: Mannone - Jenkinson Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs - Arteta Diaby - Ramsey Cazorla Podolski - Gervinho

^ rumoured arsenal line up. if so I see it being very similar to us.both teams have set up to play narrow. the good thing is Someone like moses coming on will really spread them, however, i imagine as soon as Moses comes on Walcott/Ox will come on...

I see this a true battle of individuals and team work. should be a decent game.

[Stats 7,011]

Actually quite happy Walcott doesnt start. Usually plays well against us. Quite happy to see Cahill playing as well, always feel assured of our defence when he plays

[Spike 12,049]

The 4-2-3-1 pretty much become a 4-3-3 when Oscar, Hazard and Mata are playing. At nearly all times of them has dropped deep into midfield to collect the ball and begin attacks. The 4-2-3-1 is just a formality.

The next person to complain about Lamps in the pivot should be kicked in the bollocks.
