Pleas Rafa, give Oscar a chance.

Dont worry i am sure he will start today

[ZOS 580]

Dont worry i am sure he will start today

I'll take your word for it. off to lunch I go haply then

[CHOULO19 24,332]

We can rest some players and still field a strong side. We must rotate to keep people fresh. I'd rest Azpi, Mata, Cole and Luiz:

Cech

Iva Cahil Terry Bertarnd

Rami-Lamps

Hazard-Oscar-Marin

Torres

Bar Marin for Mata and Torres who we know will start ahead of Ba regardless, that does not look like a weakened side to me.

I really want us to resist playing Iva at RB now - I'd rather him play CB - and play Albert as RB...

Apart from that - good stuff

[bushman 2,043]

JT won´t start, not ready yet, I read.

I would rather play my best, pop in 3 & then rest the players.

[Wfisheruk 22]

I don't want a repeat of qpr & Swansea tonight play our best team get the job done then rest players and give jt another runout..Cech azpil Cahill Ivan cole lamps Luiz mata hazard Oscar ba

[edetarod 2,155]

strongest team possible please, 3rd place is top priority

but i'm worried the waiter wont see it that way, as he'll most likely be gone at the end of the season

[bushman 2,043]

Somehow, the so called waiter has done fairly well, since he came on board, I feel.

I am sure, he will play his best tonight. He can not afford another mishap in front of the hostile crowd.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I want Ba, Mata, Hazard, Oscar to start. Get a 2-0 lead or something and then bring on Terry, Torres and Marin

[BlueLion. 21,491]

azpi terry cahill cole

ramirez luiz

mata oscar hazard

ba

I'd recommend a goalkeeper as well.

[bababoom 4,478]

Torres should start today, i would rather Ba start against Arsenal and Swansea.. we cant expect Ba to play three games in a week.

[Pizy 18,368]

In nervous sweats about this one. Whenever we definetly should win I get like this these days.

Won't be able to watch the game so ill be anxious all day until I get home late at night.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Torres should start today, i would rather Ba start against Arsenal and Swansea.. we cant expect Ba to play three games in a week.

Why can we expect Mata to, but not Ba? Screw Torres tbh

[MADEZ 9]

Another win will be cool,i see us winning by 3goals

[bababoom 4,478]

We know Rafa likes to rotate his squad, no way will Demba Ba start in all three games.

My question still remains... Rotation doesnt mean a player cannot start more than another, or that the other player gets few starts and more subs etc.

[Leif 6,006]

Why not start Ba, get a goal or two, and bring him off after half time or 55 or-so minutes then bring the blonde bitch on? Gives him enough rest to start the Arsenal game I think!
