DONI. 1,291 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Chelsea: Cech ©, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Cahill, Romeu, Ramires, Moses, Hazard, Mata, Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hmm. Why Ivan ahead of Azpi exactly? Would've preferred Azpi's pace vs. Johnson (assuming he starts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hm..Moses favored over Oscar now it seems. Surprised Azipilicueta is on the bench again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Good early news... Shut down sessegnon and we can potentially stop their attack so whoever starts in our holding mid be it mikel or romeu has to be on him for 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I hope Wickham doesn't magically live up to his previous billing of "the next Rooney" today.Knowing our luck though, he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 LIne up is alright. We cannot play every one of our attacking players... Romeu actually impressed me for the first time in a while (albeit vs nords), and moses adds something extra to the attack. I would probably have gone with oscar for rambo, for passing over stamina and defensive ability but rambo is perfectly good there of course... only weird thing for me is ivan at rb, Azpi for me deserves to start as he has been our best player in recent games...LAMPARD ON THE BENCH, PURE QUALITY TO COME ON IN THE SECOND HALF.

Miracle 249 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 No Fletcher for Sunderland is a massive bonus. Surely a clean sheet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Probably our strongest lineup possible. Although I'd make a case for Azpilicueta in and one of Luiz/Cahill out. Good to see Lamps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary gordon 1,777 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Oscar is definitely being saved. He is only a young fella and to play him week in and week out can be very dangerous. He needs time to develop his body to take the rigors of the PL. I'd be happy to see him get 20-30 mins a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 2 right backs and a left back on the bench..... zero centre backs......and one of those right backs was finding the form of his life. Why? just why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Like i said on the Moses thread, he's been doing well enough to continue being a starter atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs time to develop his body to take the rigors of the PL. I'd be happy to see him get 20-30 mins a game.We may have been knocked out of the champions league but we still have a tremendous amount of games and we can hardly say our squad is deep at all. Moses offers us something different but just because oscar is on the bench right now doens't mean he won't be a prominate feature of the team..
