The Rising Sun 711 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow....so a team beats Man City and 10 of them are dropped for the next league game to be replaced by the team that so valiantly defeat Bendtner, Miyaichi and the rest of Arsenal's team in the Coca Cola Cup?I think you gave the game away when you suggested dropping Cech. As i said before, all 22 of our the players involved over the last week have been brilliant.In no way am i suggesting those players be dropped.It would be an interesting tactic if it were to be done by Jose, which he obviously wont do.Secondly, the (good) problem with our team is that we have too many skilled players who are playing well , and you dont want to disrupt a winning 11. But then again, it is harsh to make the team against arsenal, who apart from 2 players were close to first team, go back into the 2nd team after such a performance.That was an idea, more than anything.Regarding Cech, i stand by my opinion. He is an amazing goalkeeper, but he has been caught out a few times this season. Nothing wrong injecting a new wave of desire in him. This is not to say he hasnt performed well, but it seems he has lost concentration sometimes.Bottomline is that i thought the team vs arsenal played a very quick skillful incisive sexy brand of football which i hadnt seen since the first day of the season, those first 20 minutes vs hull.Dont know where that leaves the squad and starting 11..... thats a good problem for Jose to have but i also feel a few of these boys need a proper look in, but at the expense of whom??Its a good situation to be in, but a tough one to manage.

MHL 47 378 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Regardless of the run we're on, this is one of those games. If I recall correctly (which, I do...), Mourinho has only ever won once at St. James' Park , and it isn't one of our happiest hunting games. This will not be easy: especially after Newcastle lost in the derby last week. They will have something to prove. The above is very true, our record up there is not great. Also it's the first game in a month (I'm not even going to say the months name!)where over the last few seasons we've performed poorly. Hopefully Jose's return will put an end to that nonsense.Let's hope they have a long and hard game tonight.I'd like to squeeze Mata into the starting line-up. Would keep Ramires in the starting eleven and perhaps give Hazard or Schurrle a rest. The great thing is just how difficult the players performances are making picking a starting line-up.Hopefully it will a long and happy trip home for the travelling blues.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have a feeling this won't be easy, mainly because everyone seems to think that we will cruise to a win. Newcastle will have nothing to lose and they'll be looking to prove a point after the derby defeat.But any way any how we must get the win to keep the momentum going and take advantage of the Liverpool-Arsenal game.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 ???? how??? arsenal's GD is 11 and ours is 10. if they draw and we win by 2 goals we go on top by GD. if we win by 1 goal we would be 2nd as arsenal have 20 goals compared to our 16. Ooh. Apologies. Suffering from morning blues. Saw the wrong column, rather than looking at the GD, was looking at the goals conceded where we have conceded 6 compared to Arsenal's 9.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think that team did great last night. However I think many will not be playing at the weekend. I think Mata and Luiz may play though. I mean whoever plays we have shown we have a great squad with people who can be called into action and produce a result. I would hope he would play Torres, Eto'o was pretty weak again last night, and Ba...i just dont know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Torres, Terry and Ramires are the only locks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalVlatko 8 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I would play Mata, Oscar, and Willian behind Torres because I think Mata and Willian earned a starting spot with their performance against Arsenal.Hazard didn't do great against City and should be rotated out but Schurrle has been playing great and I wouldn't mind him playing ahead of Mata or Willian.

Spike 12,049 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakozium257 350 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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;CechIvanovic-Cahill-Terry-ColeRamires-MikelWillian-Oscar/Mata-HazardTorres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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 ....

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
