Closed Chelsea v QPR

[Pizy 18,368]

Why are you guys complaining ?

If our team cannot beat QPR then the players have to ask themselves what are they doing at Chelsea. The line-up is ok, I believe in the lads to prove their worth. Glad Marin finally gets some minutes.

I'm more concerned about our keeper than the rest of the lineup.

And we all know QPR wil play like game raising cunts.

Any match without mata starting seems so dangerous. Hope FSW knows what he's doing. This is not a normal match, its a derby...

[Hamilton 2,120]

Surprise, Surprise.. Curious hiw this will turn out, let's hope we can bring in Mata and Hazard second half for enjoyment and not because we need to..

Then we simply have to score more than Ross can fuck up. Sexy football.

[DYC. 7,542]

I do like the fact he's taking risks though

[Kieran. 6,317]

I've wanted to see Moses and Marin on the wings for a long time now.

[bloody 209]

since both Cech and Romeu are injured why don't we start with JT and Sam Hutch

forgive me for having a life and for not keeping up with team news.

This is not a "huge risk", playing our starters non-stop without ever resting them is a huge risk. If you can't beat QPR with 7 or 8 regular starters, you have no one to blame but yourself. Mata has already played 30 games and we're halfway through the season. The last thing we want is our players being useless the last month because they're hurt or exhausted.

[Peppi85 110]

Good side. Marin most be hungry to prove himself. Granted, huge risk if it doesn't work out, but we've still got a very strong bench. Gotta get the 3 points. Go Chelsea!

Would that be for a spot in the first team or for a transfer?

[bloody 209]

Chelsea team v QPR: Turnbull; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Bertrand, D Luiz, Lampard; Moses, Oscar, Marin, Torres.

hoping to see luiz replaced by mikel or ramires at the start of the second half.

preferably along with ivanovic.

You are spot on if we were any other team, but expect QPR to raise their shitty game just for us.

Prediction: Luiz will be the motm and some fools in this forum will say he was awful.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

From the Chelsea website

1 Petr Cech
28 Cesar Azpilicueta
2 Branislav Ivanovic
24 Gary Cahill
34 Ryan Bertrand
4 David Luiz
8 Frank Lampard ©
13 Victor Moses
11 Oscar
21 Marko Marin
9 Fernando Torres

Substitutes: 22 Ross Turnbull, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 3 Ashley Cole, 7 Ramires, 10 Juan Mata, 17 Eden Hazard, 35Lucas Piazon.

I thought Cech was injured? Have they made a mistake?

EDIT: They have......same article it says "Ryan Bertrand is back from injury to give Ashley Cole a rest. Ross Turnbull replaces injured Petr Cech in goal."

LMFAO

How many votes do you predict for Hazard (if he is subbed in)?

[DDA 9,690]

I cannot believe that so many of you are calling this starting line up an underestimation of QPR. How bloody insulting lol. That team should absolutely demolish QPR, derby or no derby. Unless Harry has worked a small miracle over the past 5 days then guessing from QPR's last game against Pool this should be over before it's begun.

it wouldnt be the first time ...last year they had us going out of CL at Barca

[bluesman2610 1,341]

Only real concern I have from QPR is Abel Tarabt even against pool he looked dangerous around 18 yard box..def will need to keep an eye on him

[Keikoismad 162]

I guess the manager indeed is taking a risk. This line-up never really played before and QPR are dangerous, certainly because they 're loosing all the time. A wounded team is a dangerous team, they say in Belgium.

Anyway, hup hup go go Chelsea!

prediction 3-2 chelsea
