HD3D 1,038 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think Torres will rest in this game. Etoo should be the one starting and then perhaps Ba.IMO this game will be a good indicator as to whether Mourinho has any hope for Mata. If he doesn't play the full game, I think he'll be out the next time the market opens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If we lose today, It'll probably be the end of Ba ever starting a Chelsea match.Highly unlikely he'll get a chance in the PL before January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think there will be lots of goals tonight on both ends. The teams are fielding players that havent played that much together therefore we could see some shaky defences on both sides,And also this is a big oppertunity for players to show why they should be picked for the first team ( looking at you KDB... ) All in all I think it has the potential to be a exciting game( despite the lack of 1st team players on both sides) and hopefully a convincing Chelsea victory.My team: SchwarzerAzpi Kalas Luiz BertrandMikel/Ake Essien ©KdB Mata WillianBa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If we lose today, It'll probably be the end of Ba ever starting a Chelsea match.Highly unlikely he'll get a chance in the PL before January.End of his Chelsea career more like, when Lukaku comes back/new striker is signed he will be in reserve forever or leave.

Pizy 18,917 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I actually think Arse will field a strong XI. Maybe 2-3 youth players, but I think we'll see mostly first XI players.I honestly couldn't care less about this match or this competition. It's actually kind of refreshing and nice being able to look forward to a Chelsea match without caring or worrying about the result. I'm usually so nervous before Prem/CL games but this one I'll be excited for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you never know wenger might be desperate enough to end their throphy drought to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of time to rest between now and the weekend, so I think he'll field most of their best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of time to rest between now and the weekend, so I think he'll field most of their best players.its not just the weekend though, is it? they have pool on saturday, dortmund on tuesday and united the next weekend. plus they have a major chunk of squad players like (podolski, walcott, aoc) injured or barely out of injury and in no state to start. playing with a strong XI will be suicidal and i wont mind because it would mean arsenal slipping in PL and CL.

Win/win for us either way.They play a good side and they risk injury or fatigue, play a weak side and we should sweep them aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win/win for us either way.They play a good side and they risk injury or fatigue, play a weak side and we should sweep them aside.pretty much our case last year when united won and had to play another at SB for COC. we played about 5 first team players and pretty much lost our way on league after that.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Im actually like the League Cup, mainly because we have a chance to see players that aren't in favour or aren't playing too often.I really hope Kalas start's tonight, been looking forward to seeing him play ever since it was confirmed he was staying, i said to my mate he could well jump up to 3rd choice by the end of this season.
