NishC300 1,865 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Been a fantastic start to the season. All ready there has been an upset and controversial decisions by a ref.A comfortable win here will top things off nicely.Really? Which match?

Kezza 1,965 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Really? Which match?Arsenal vs villa. The second penalty was never a penalty. Koscielny should never have been sent off let alone be given a yellow card. Well his second yellow was debatable but the tAckle he made that conceaded the penalty was clean as! The ref was a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Been trying to think of what team he'll play and it's nice to see we have so many options again. Last year it became rather sad and predictable when we had about 14 players to choose from, but I think Jose could go in any number of directions.To be honest, the only players I can think will definitely play are Cech, Cole, Ivanovic and Hazard. You'd expect JT to start as well but beyond that you could make a case for about a dozen or so players to start. I'm expecting Van Ginkel and Rami to start in the pivot because they've probably been the most impressive midfielders in pre-season, but if Lamps or Essien started I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised. You'd expect Mata to start but De Bruyne and Oscar have both been impressive in a more central role and Juan's had a bit of a disjointed summer because of the rest he needed. On the right wing it could be any one of 3 players, and even Schurrle could pop up there. Up front I would've said Lukaku all day long about a week ago but I wouldn't be surprised to see Torres in there and I've got this funny feeling he might actually get a couple if he starts. Got to give Hull respect though because promoted teams come into this game used to winning, but you'd expect us to turn them over eventually. Just nice to get back to actually playing matches again.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if Luiz and Mata started. Jose's pulled that "they won't play" trick off before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose M 140 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Strongest Team to start the season. CechIvanovic-Terry-Luiz-ColeLampard-Van GinkelDe Bruyne-Oscar-HazardTorres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If I had to take bets on the team that would start, that would be it:CechIvan - Terry - Cahill - ColeRamires - LampsKev - Oscar - EdenTorresThat's what I think José will bring to the table.The one position I'm doubtful is Ramires'. I think he could also start with Marco there instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edetarod 2,155 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Lampard at 35 is still the best finisher in our teamhe has to start, or we will struggle to score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 What about Schurrle's role in this game? Expect him to come on as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Lampard at 35 is still the best finisher in our teamhe has to start, or we will struggle to score goalsErm no he doesn't and if we struggle to score goals without a 35 years old player than we are not good enough.Wouldn't be surprised if Luiz and Mata started. Jose's pulled that "they won't play" trick off before.Doubt it, look at Cazorla yesterday. Also came back at the same time as Mata, Dave and had to come on then was almost non-existence. They only came back on Friday so might still be a little jet lagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
