Laylabelle 9,553 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Shouldnt be a tough game but wouldnt expect to be a walk over.They havent been playing to bad of late and with us end up being one of those annoying games.Man U and Arsenal play early on so pressure etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 People are sort of forgetting how much Vorm means to this team. One of the best keepers in the game at times, so with him out that's a huge loss for them.I'm gonna say Chelsea 3-1 Swans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i think many would agree that Moses played lights out yesterday and deserves a start vs the swans even though mata also played 120mins mata needs the rest more IMO.im not for starting Ivan at CB, because he's not played there in a long ass time and also against Swansea and there passing skills, he'd be no better than a tired Luiz or Cahill,i would play him there towards end of the game and sub of one of Luiz/Cahill for shahktar.ivan--Cahill-Luiz--Colerambo--mikelhazard--oscar--mosesTorresI would probably go with that. I would maybe play Azpi/Dave at RB, but then Ivan obviously didn't play midweek so shouldn't need resting really, and although azpi was good yesterday, it was only 1 game against a weakened united team so we will see. I still would play cahill and luiz. As you rightly said Ivan hasn't played CB for a while, and luiz has been better this season even if he was frustrating yesterday.. Also the way they play and the speed of the buildup play could be countered by luiz's pace providing he uses it going backwads and not running forwards...Definately agree on the mata/moses thing... Mata has been our best player in our last 5/6 games and although i doubt he is suffering fatigue why risk it and if we can keep him fresh then thats a great thing for us (Not sure he will be rested though). Moses played exceptionally and could well have played his way into a start. The one change i would definately make is to put moses on the right and hazard on the left, not that it really makes a difference as the 3 always float about. Torres has now seen that he is not the only striker we have so hopefully that can produce a better performance from him with danny to come on if needed.P.S. I would also reccomend playing a keeper as they are often pretty useful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 saturday 15:00 in England, no idea what's your timezone. Confident we will win this with whatever team, but can't imagine this being a walk in the park considering the lack of rotation in the last games.

MAF 162 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Didnt matta get rest dring the international break though? Im more worried About Hazard tbh. Hes played in every Chelsea match this year plus every Belgium game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes played in every Chelsea match this year plus every Belgium game...Hazard has been rested by Belgium and RDM before this season. Didn't start a couple of games but did come of from the bench later on like in the Nordsjaelland, Wolves, Wales(for Belgium) etc.Think Oscar is more of a worry at the moment. Has played like almost every game, including for Brazil, from start to finish since that Juventus match. He did start on the bench last night but had to come on and played the extra time. Not very ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,170 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hazard doesnt need resting at all. He has been benched a couple times for us as well as being benched for Belgium and he came on second half IIRC against United. He should be 100% fit for this game. Will not be an easy game but can't see the Swans being able to resist our attacking talent for the 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAF 162 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I guess so... we Will need to start rotating more in the future though imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBlue 82 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Will be a difficult game as Swansea plays some nice football, but if we make the best of our potential, we can surely win this. I would like to see Moses for Mata as he played well against United and I think Juan needs a rest. We need him 100% fit against Donezk midweek.
