Yet, Newcastle have both the Pardew and Kinnear factor to consider. If their combined insanity and idiocy can influence this match...well anything could happen. Besides, I don't rate this Newcastle team that highly. They have a lot of talent but nothing that consistantly delivers.

Sorry, but the Toon are bad...

Pardew should of been sacked already with the amount of French talent on that squad, they should be challenging for top 7 at least...

I wouldnt mind fielding the same team yesterday for Saturdays game....

Also, with wens big game in mind, it would be beneficial to rest some of the starters

I remember turning on a stream when that game in February was in the last minutes and that inbred team had just scored and and all of their inbred fans were celebrating like the primates that they are. Needless to say, I enjoyed their poor run in the end where they got stuffed 0-6 by Liverfool and 0-3 by S'land, I really enjoyed watching that smug Pardew becoming obviously depressed during those humiliating defeats. I really hope we humiliate them too on Saturday.

This team would be so nice;

Cech

Ivanovic-Cahill-Terry-Cole

Ramires-Mikel

Willian-Oscar/Mata-Hazard

Strong cases for Mikel & Mata to start as well.

Headache for Mourinho.

A wonderful headache

It is SOOOOOO hrs to pick a team - which indicates our wealth these days - praise the board and praise Mou for instilling that winners mentality!

I must admit I have a weak spot for technical velvet like players .... hence the AM field. Mou would never do it but I would try Oscar instead of Lamps here ....

Za Team :-)

Fucking trash 'em as well while we are in the habit of doing in teams ...

Except that's not true. One note or not, my comment pertains to this thread as we look a far more balanced side with players who fit that role, especially on the defensive side of the game.

Jose disagrees and so do I. Mikel offers stability in the back but nothing(sick goal at Fulham) going forward. We are a counter attacking team now, we need people who move the ball quickly and to get forward in numbers. Frank fits the bill as does Ramires... Mikel comes in to kill off the game and slow the tempo.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Mata and Willian deserve chances but at the expense of whom? I would even dare to say Hazard based on his last performance. But i trust José to make these hard decisions.

I think Mata should start for Oscar, we have a big Champions League game midweek following this one.

I think Mata did enough yesterday to try and build on a positive performance

Need to silence Ben Arfa for this one. If he's having a good game he will be very hard to stop. Can imagine one of the Chelsea players being tasked with not giving him room to breathe.

Ramires.

If we don't get 3 points from this then that is worrying.

Newcastle are really below standards at the moment, no chemistry at all, we should be one of those teams what can really hurt them this season.

Anything can happen. They have players capable of turning it up at any given time, we just have to be focussed and determined to get a result. After three huge wins its not hard to envision a let off. But having said that Jose is the type of manager that will motivate his side to press on and use the positive atmosphere to build on a decent run of form.

We are title challengers, if we are going to let a team like Newcastle don't put the required effort in play us off the pitch then we don't deserve the title. We really should be beating these and there really shouldn't be any excuses either.
