Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You sure mate about Mikel? Should we use David as MC and Iva as CB? We might have more opportunities to score.Luiz is at his best as a CB so he should play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Cech Azpilicueta Luiz Terry Cole Ramires Lampard Moses Mata Hazard Ba Don't expect to see this team but would like to. A few players are penned in (Cech, Azpi, Luiz, Cole, Rami, Mata, Hazard, Ba) but I think JT, Moses and Lamps did enough yesterday to start on Sunday. I could quite easily see Ivanovic or Cahill instead of JT though, Mikel for Lamps and Oscar for Moses simply to keep things a little fresher and get Gary back to match fitness.But Swansea really didn't show much in the game at the Bridge and should be there to be beaten. They sat deep and allowed us possession which is why I don't think we need to go too defensive in the middle of the park. Goes without saying that we need to win this one and Swansea seem to be a level below where they were before the League Cup Final, so we need to take advantage and I think we need an early goal. Get that and the floodgates could open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseawise 115 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Must win game for Chelsea. I think we should go on the offensive straight from teh kick off. I have a feeling Swansea will score at least two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have nothing to play for apart from pride so I am sure they will try to be much more fluent in their attacking play. Hopefully that works for us in that case.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K956fVrAltYDespite him saying that...He has made such pledges before, and delivered mixed results. On the final day of the 2006-07 season, the champions lost to West Ham United to send Sheffield United down. Two years later, a reserve line-up from a squad already title winners and heading to a Champions League final went to Hull City and won, handing Newcastle United the chance to save themselves. Professionalism preserved but the Magpies lost at Aston Villa...Source: http://espnfc.com/uk/en/preview/345553/preview.html?soccernet=true&cc=5739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidneyfrond 6 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 David Luiz has two much technical and creative ability to be wasted at CB, I'd like to see him replace Mikel as permanent DM as he offers more of an engine and drive than Obi. Similar to Essien in his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 David Luiz has two much technical and creative ability to be wasted at CB Not a dig at you but I hate this mentality. Why do people think it's illegal for a CB to have great technique or be creative? If anything it adds to the unpredictability of the team, which is great.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Think Vincent Kompany. I think Luiz can do the same at CB.Luiz is way more... eccentric than Kompany. I think he can do it at CB, and has drastically improved this season. But until we get a proper DM i would like to see david luiz there, as mikel is too much of a liability right now.

He can still do the job for us till the end of the season. No point in shifting your best defender into midfield IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But simply, our central midfield, has been the main position where we have struggled all season (along with torres), and luiz is a good solution to that problem imo. As for me, we have enough capable defenders but really are struggling controlling games in midfield. Ivan and JT should be able to do the business at CB for most of the games imo.
