Closed Stoke City v Chelsea

I already miss victor

I already miss victor

and Mikel

[didierforever 7,349]

going to get bullied off the ball, mata and hazard are going to have a damn hard time. kenwyn jones flanked by walters and kightly would give our defence run for their money. all in all a game from which i am not expecting anything except getting all our players back to london fit and fine (with the exception of the blonde whore).

[Jase 43,479]

mata's been shit for a while, should get a rest.

He's been shit for awhile?! Care to explain why so?

6 goals and 6 assists in his last 12 games for us doesn't exactly back up what you said.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

We struggle to play against physical side this season even with Mata. Expecting a tight 0-1 win from set piece.

[ymalleb 14]

let's play like the good old days. Ba as a lone striker, Lamps, Ramires, Mata, Hazard & Oscar at midfield. Cole, Luiz, Cahill and Brana at the back. scored early then park the bus.

sure 0-1 victory.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Benitez CAN NOT start Ba every game.

I wish he and Robbie knew that with Fernando. Maybe Danny would've still been here if they did.

Stoke away has a boring 0-0 draw written all over it. A 1-0 either way at most.

This game would be PERFECT for Victor I miss him

Also, if Luiz has cut his hair, he must be dropped

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Lampard penalty to win it.

[raylucker 0]

I think its time for Ba to be the starting player, and it's time for Torres to watch and learn to be a good Striker

[Blue Armour 4,442]

Marin should start in place of Moses and Ba instead of Torres. Lampard and Luiz in the double pivot.

--------Turnbull--------

Azpi-Cahill-Terry-Cole

---D. Luiz-Lampard---

Hazard-Mata----Marin

-----------Ba-----------

Would agree with those, but I think its likely to be Ramires for Marin

sure 0-1 victory.

1. We always play with one striker.

2. Parking the bus is stuipid.

3. Parking the bus with that lineup is even more stuipid.

I think Lamps and Ba could do well together...especially vs Stoke were we need to kick some ass....

Bomb the ball to Ba and Lamps can finish it off with his great runs...stick Mikel in DM.

Give em hell!

I just want to see Oscar in his natural position for once in my life!

This! According to me Oscar is a pure Nr 10, i dont get people who want him in the Pivot or Rafa who want him on the wing. He is the one in the Squad who has the most potential as a Nr 10, Not Mata and not Hazard.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

For me Ba and Marin have to start. We need a direct approach if are to score. Keep in mind that we played a tough game on Wednesday and they did not play mid-week.

Yeah, what irritates me is people saying Oscar is shit without knowing he has been playing out of his position. I know Mata deserves to start way more than Oscar, but at least give the kid a shot at his natural position.

He did pretty good in the last game if you count he was a #10 playing winger!

I honestly think he has the potential to play in the pivot, but if we ever want Brazil's and Inter's Oscar, we will have to play him as the dominant force in the CAM role.

[blu35_army 551]

just don't playing with "Back-Pass" style again!!! it's really annoying....

Ofc Mata is better in the Nr 10 role than Oscar but just at the moment, Oscar has so much more potential
