YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 league matches are for Ba,carling cup for nandoWhile I agree, it would be nice to actually win that too. Would rather see Ba starting most games and Torres to sub. Would also like to see them together at least once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I reckon it will be Mata, Oscar and Hazard for sure I would like to see him start but doubt it. Rafa will play his best team available IMOIt's somewhat humourous to me that we dropped points away to Swansea in the league after playing our main guys for up to 120 minutes in the preceding game against Man United in the Coca Cola Cup.Now we're going to play them again for 90 minutes before a tough league game against Stoke????? :banghead: :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 i think Rafa will play TurnbullAzpi - Ivanovic - Cahill - A.ColeLampard - LuizRamires - Mata - HazardBaWhat position do you think the fat cunt will be playing at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I honestly don't think Rafa will put out a full strength team. Marin hinted yesterday that he will be starting. I expect something like:RossAzpi- Cahil - Iva - BertrandRamires - LuizHazard - Oscar - MarinBa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Funny Haha! Tongue in cheek moment. But you get the point. BA should not be starting 3 matches in a row when the whole world keeps talking about his knees. Also if Torres starts against Stoke, i fear for him. People like Walters would eat hi alive and won't even burp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like Walters would eat hi alive and won't even burp. I kinda agree, but I cannot be positive towards anything that includes Torres. However I would like for Hazard to play behind him this game, mata on the left, marin perhaps as rw and oscar in the pivot with rami or luiz.

Marin isn't really good at defending, is he? Ramires could be the one starting at RW untill Moses comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that Swansea might beat us, or draw-lose, otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their match against Arsenal, they were brilliant in the first half but god knows what happened in the 2nd half, They just couldn't clear the ball and with all due respect, you don't have to do much to clear the ball against Arsenal but Swansea were shambolic at times. So if that thing happens again, i expect Chelsea to win by a good margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's like people want Marin starting *just* because he's Marin lol. Whenever he's played for us, has he improved the team? Has he made it look more likely that we'll be the winning side? For me - No. Why would you guys want to keep starting a player who doesn't positively add to the team? "HE HAZ PACE" no. He has good acceleration coupled with quite awful agility lol. This isn't Fifa or Football Manager where it takes '90 minutes in the side vs. a cup side' to 'unlock dat Messi potential'.

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Random question but when goals go in at Stamford Bridge who is the tannoy man announcing it? I know Neil does the pre match stuff but it's defiantly not him who announces the goals and substitutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I really want to see mazacar behind Ba at some point in the 2nd half, we were fluent in attack even with terrible torres. I wonder how much more devastating it will be with Ba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I assume Ferda is starting tonight. Perhaps, he just might play better & score. Although, I would not bet my house on it.As for Marin, I too am a bit puzzled to read all these comments to see him in the line-up. I wish him well, however I am not sure of his ability. So far, I have not seen much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NishC300 1,865 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Pretty sure we'll win this easily. Funny. That's what most people said against QPR and look what happened.Lets not forget that Swansea went to the Emirates not too long ago where they outplayed Arsenal and won 2-0. And though they didn't create much in away games against Man City and Spurs, they only lost 1-0 in both games. Heck, they even won 3-1 against Liverpool at Anfield in the League Cup earlier this season. So, we cannot underestimate them one bit!Never underestimate an EPL side......hasn't underestimating opponents at times landed us in this situation in the first place?

Corner 456 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I bet we're going to have a strong starting eleven, with Torres, Mata and Hazard to start. Oscar and Ba on the bench. The final score - 3-1 to Chelsea. I think Oscar will more than likely start with Moses gone to ACON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
