The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We have two fit central midfielders in Frank and Rami. No need to play someone out of position.They were fit last night? I know you don't like the idea of Luiz playing in midfield, but he's arguably been our best player in the last couple of months. That includes some very good midfield performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't like the idea of Luiz playing in midfield, but he's arguably been our best player in the last couple of months. That includes some very good midfield performances. Let's agree to disagree on Luiz. We've already had this discussion several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't know about this game... We are a better team than them, but playing pretty badly at home. Not losing is crucial imo, and it would be great to get win... Arsenal will be feeling very optimistic and a win gets them right close behind us with a game in hand. Hopefully we can scrape through with a win as man for man we are better than them across the pitch.CechAzpi Ivan Terry ColeLampard LuizOscar Mata HazardBaWe start that team and my confidence level would increase dramatically... If torres starts i will snap your hand off for a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We'll win this one, just to make me feel worse about dropping home points to QPR and Soton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edetarod 2,155 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 best thing about this season is that somehow we're still in thirdif we finish outside the top 4, this has to go down as relatively the worst season in Chelsea history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe our next manager will have him in the plans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As holding he has to stay back and distribute. I really wish lamp will stay back more and let rami go forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdog 2,084 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have no faith in rafadyce. I am sure he will start Torrid on Sunday. Also, attendance took a dip in the last match.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think Arsenal made a mistake playing us last time. Our big weakness is on the wings. Because we generally don't (and didn't) play real wingers, we are vulnerable to teams who can attack the flanks. Arsenal have that ability but they strangely decided to go with Ramsey and Podolski on the wings who are also more centrally inclined players. The bulk of their attack came through their fullbacks and when Diaby was forced off, Oxlade-Chamberlain. Gervinho started and scored, but the more I watch him, the less impressed I am. He has no football IQ. Doesn't seem to be able to see the game develop at all. If I were Wenger, I'd go with Walcott on the right and Giroud in the middle. For us, I'd like to see Marin, not because I think he's some saviour or anything, but because he's an actual winger who can play out wide and cross the ball into the box (for Ba).

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm never confident against them anyway but what a shit time to play them, devoid of any ideas at home, almost like we're playing scared of the fans and the pressure. This is probably our biggest league game of the season as it would put us a long way ahead of them. Man that 2-1 win at the Emirates seems a loooong time ago. This game could go either way. If we lose and get dumped out the league cup, somethings gonna happen, RA will flip. Could be the end of restaurant man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
