Jase 43,479 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Won't be easy this. We got lucky in the corresponding fixture last season with that late deflected Bosingwa goal. Need to get the 3 points here. Crucial with United hosting Arsenal at Old Trafford and City going to West Ham as they may drop points there.One downside is that Cech, Luiz, Cahill and Mata played 120 minutes yesterday. Probably it won't matter all too much for the first three players mentioned there but it is for Mata. He has been in great form but we do not want him to suffer any burnt out again especially with another vital game coming up against Shakhtar next Wednesday. Could maybe play Moses in place of him on Saturday. Edited November 1, 2012 by BluesMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalies just don't get the same workout so not worried about his energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Tough match, especially after 120mins vs Scum United. Mata will be vital but I'm concerned about his stamina, Moses deserves a start after last night's fantastic performance. Best scenario, Arsenal win, Chelsea win.

Spike 12,049 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 They play very nice football so I believe this will be a cracker. 3-1 to Chelsea.Chelsea goals from Mata, Azpilicueta and OscarSwansea goals from Danny Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 They haven't looked anywhere close to what they were in the last season when it comes to defense. Have been leaking goals but i saw the whole City match last weekend and they had City on the ropes.Had it not been Hart, Swansea would have scored at least 2 goals against City. Michu is a very clever player who makes those incisive runs at the back of the defenders. He has been playing as CF i guess for the past 2 matches which goes to show they don't really have very good CFs. One thing that can work in our favor is that Laudrup likes his team to play the same charismatic style no matter the opposition so that may open up spaces for our front 3 or 4(if you want to include Torres at your own peril ) unlike other mid table team who would sit deep and wait for our mistakes. I predict a very entertaining match with at least 4 goals, hopefully in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Also, please don't expect anything from Arsenal. Just don't. We all know how it is going to end, so its better not to have any expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

channing 8 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i am warried about the depth of the squad and our defense, when we have trio in front we have no worry about the goals, but everyone is human. we cant expect they paly all the season. RDM must rotate in same unimportant game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Tough game but I expect a win. They have 2 key players out in Vorm and especially Neil Taylor at LB. They have a 19 year old, called Ben Davies playing there on a basic wage in the premier league who is rather inexperienced, we can really hurt them there. Putting Moses there may be a good option IMO. Michu will be a dangerman, has hit the PL by storm so far this season but the performance does not bother me for this match, entertaining football will be good to watch but to come out of here with a win is the most important thing.

gary gordon 1,777 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Dont know why everybody is worried. To compare this team to last years is like comparing a turd to a steak. I think we will control this game quite easily. Swansea may be good, but have still had some shockers this season. 3-1. Luiz to score a header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i hope rdm tells hazard and mata to track back because swansea is a classic counter-attacking team and will look to exploit our lack of width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamiCFC9 258 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 UTD can say what they want but we are playing Swansea at the weekend and they are playing Arsenal, so we can afford playing with most of our starters and they can fuck off, lol.Expecting nothing less but a comfortable win.I just want to see Oscar playing it's like an addiction the guy is so boss, iam actually having a crush on him .

Spike 12,049 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 ? Bane is back right?A straight red gives a three game suspension, right? Besides I much prefer Azpilicueta to Ivanovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 A straight red gives a three game suspension, right? Besides I much prefer Azpilicueta to Ivanovic.He was sent off for a professional foul, not a violent conduct. So only 1 match suspension for Ivanovic.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Mata will play, he won't be rested. I don't think he's going to get burnt out yet. We'll give him the odd break unlike last year. Furthermore he hasn't shown any signs of tiredness so he should start. It will be a tough game. I wouldn't be too surprised if this ended in a draw. Although we have the team character to win on the road time and time again (Particularly in the League).I'll say 2-0. Hazard, Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Would like this to be the team:CechAzpi Cahill Ivanovic ColeRamires MikelMoses Oscar HazardTorresLuiz's form has been poor recently and the guy needs a break. Played in the international break then Spurs, Shakhtar, United, United. I also think Robbie will want to play Luiz against Shakhtar and Liverpool too and so we should rest him for this one.This will be a tough game I reckon, they'll be on a high after beating Liverpool yesterday and gave City a right thumping too and should have won. Any sort of win is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
