Closed Stoke City v Chelsea

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Are we going 4-4-2?

[Severinb 309]

Gr8, now BA has a chance to start he reduces our attacking support with bertrand.

Bertrand can cross so wait and see and the quality ba has he should be able to play well with bertrand.

Guys you have to realise that it's a good choice to start Bertrand. We need more balance in the side as with Cahill out, Luiz could be erratic in defence and need help at times, while Ramires and Lampard are both often caught-out when they go forward. If Oscar started instead of Bertrand who exactly would track back and cover like Bertrand will do?

I can see where you're coming from, but Oscar's work rate is fantastic. All Rafa would have to do is tell Oscar to track back and he will happily do it for 90 mins.

Hazard and Oscar were tracking back to defend in our last games. Bertrand makes no sense if you are playing Stoke and will move Hazard out of position.

Hazard, Mata, Oscar or Hazard, Mata, Marin...

Benitez is really fucking up with Oscar, a Fucking Stupid Fat Spanish Waiter will retard in 6 months his adaptation and development!

Bertrand is on the wing cos he is one of the better crossers in the team. Ba is tall and strong in the air. Makes sense, even though I do not now whether it is clever to try to beat Stoke that way, we know their major strenght is their strenght and height.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Ba starts, I will watch this one then

Also feel infinitely more confidence with name CECH typed on the team-sheet.

[iceboy 992]

Fantastic line up. Bababababababbaabababa

[Laylabelle 9,305]

OMG torres benched is Rafa feeling all right?!

[bushman 2,043]

In Rafa´s selection we trust ?

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I just hope with Bertrand its not Rafa trying to be too defensive which then becomes counter productive and makes us pinned in.

Poor Marko, as soon as Moses goes away Bertrand comes straight in ahead of him.

Will probably get sacked for benching him. It's win-win situation

I hope they link up well, really want BA to stamp his authority in this match and keep torres out of the team as long as possible.

[Henrique 9,133]

Where is Cahill?

[Rmpr 8,977]

Where is Cahill?

He will miss the game to watch the birth of his child.

You must be reaaly happy!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Tottenham draw! We will go to third place if we beat Stoke today

[blu35_army 550]

[Atwa 78]

[Leif 6,006]

Didn't realise we could regain 3rd place with a win today. Suddenly a lot more interested in this game.
