diskoviolente 425 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I agree.In the meantime until we do sign someone like Moutinho, and hopefully we do, then I think it would be a good idea to deploy Oscar in deeper role to control the tempo of the game. Ramires and Mikel are just not quick enough at getting the ball into the attacking midfielders and while Mikel is very tactically aware, he can be a bit slow with his distribution which hinders the pace of our attack sometimes. And Ramires just lacks the techinical ability to perform this role well.i alwys wondered why Oscar isn´t deployed with a deeper setting. I think he just would do very well there. He seems to have the eye for the killer ball and stabilises the game every time he is on the ball i think. something like Mikel/Romeu - Oscar - Ramires in midfield. bit more conservative but a good counter attacking midfield.

Zone 290 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Their whole team is gonna be pushing and shoving Torres all over the pitch. I hope he controls himself and we don't see him sitting on the grass complaining all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza 1,965 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Chelsea vs West Ham always gets me excited. I am genuinely excited about this, not sure why, maybe it's just my love for Chelsea. Doing shit, cunt as our manager, Roman being a complete arse hole yet i still look forward to our games. It is still a big game anyway for our top 4 aspirations. It's not like we have nothing to play for.Hate the manager but don't turn your back on the team. It's still Chelsea.I fuckin love you man! Always say what I'm thinking but in a better way!

magic weeds 446 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 well, for some reason, I believe Benitez is right. ROTATION ROTATION ROTATION. Something RDM didnt know, hence the seemingly burnout in our players. Last game, he rested Mata and Mikel, this game its Oscar. I bet next game at Sunderland it wil be Hazard.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well I honestly dreamed we lost 1-0. It was a great feeling when i woke up and realised it wasn't true....West Ham doing well despite defeat the other day. It wouldn't surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Like the lineup today, two amigos and a wide man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Think its a pretty good team tbh, IVAN and Cahill at CB, Moses should provide some width and Mata who is absolutely KEY starts...COME ON CHELSEA.Also why the hell does the daily mail keep getting our lineups right just before the game... There is a LEAK somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 very quiet for a match day ...Very early for us in the Americas. 7:45 AM match on a Saturday is tough! (And that's Eastern Time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Andy Caroll out is a huge positive imo. He is hardly amazing but he could cause us a lot more problems, and i would rather see him not start than start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
