Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If Ramires doesn't start I would want to see Mikel - Essien and possibly us playing with a false nine so we can control the midfield, if not, then Torres gets the nod for the centre foward position. Mikel - EssienSchurrle - Mata or Willian - Hazard (reasoning: we have a plethora of ACMs, we may as well use them. All interchanging) OscarOr: Mikel - EssienSchurrle - Oscar - Hazard TorresWe might see Luiz in DM though which isn't bad either.You won't see Luiz in midfield.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I just don't want to see us playing that negative crap like in the United game. Go out there, fight and play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Schurrle should start and most likely will since he was rested. He's shown the most amount of penetration out of all our wide AMs. Ok, no end product yet but at least he's finding himself in those positions - which is more than others can say. He was fantastic against Bayern and should have a similar amount of space to run into in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimbledonblue 94 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ahh I miss the days when this fixture was a guaranteed win. It is no longer 3 point lane unfortunately. I would start Torres and Mata for this but expect Jose to go with Eto'o, Hazard, Oscar and Schuurllleeeee.I'm expecting a bore draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Warrior 109 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Quality of opposition is king, Spurs have had a relatively easy start in comparison to us. Winning there is what we do, No surrender. Stop the fear mongering and lets test this relatively untested team in the heat of battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 cechiva cahill JT colerambo mikelschurlle oscar hazard etoothe team that started fulham will probably start this match too. hazard HAS to have a great game. they will dominate us in the middle of the pitch with the likes of dembele, paulinho, eriksen. i dont know how good lamela's work rate is, so hazard might get a chance to go up against the mightily overrated walker. remember how mata OWNED him last year!!!

John1611 77 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think Eto'o is obviously starting this game since he was rested in the cup yesterday. If Mou had Torres in mind starting at the weekend he would have taken him off and put Eto'o on at 60/70mins.I know a lot of people want Torres to start, but it's not happening.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm much more worried against teams that will park the bus than against the likes of Tottenham. Very confident we'll get the win. They'll have spaces behind them and we'll exploit them. And their midfield is no where near as good as people are making it out to be. Rami will be a miss, but even with Mikel-Lamps we'll still win. COYB! :CFC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 The players that weren't even in the team yesterday will start for sure. Cech, Ivan, Cole, Lamps, Mikel, Oscar, Hazard.I expect JT, Cahill, Schurrle and Eto'o to complete the team. Torres and Essien might have given Jose something to think about, but fresher players will be preferred. Torres especially, has a much better chance of starting against Steaua.
