yuvala 2,167 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Need a strong team to cope with the physicality that Big Sam is going to impose on us.................Cech.......Ivan.....Cahill......CLL.....Cole..............Luiz....Rami...........Shurrle.....Oscar....Mata...............Torres..............After yesterday, I'd like to see some creative play from the deep, hence Luiz as the deepest player in the pivot which can also unleash Ramires.Azpi starting will be a huge blow defensively as Ivanovic is better in aerial duels.Mata deserves his start after the last game.Everytime Shurrle plays, we seems to be in control. Easy pick.Easy 3 points if we can get our shit together and go up the table before December.Oscar and Mata together? no.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We'll struggle just like we did against Villa. We can't handle teams that lump the ball forward. If we don't win then are our title hopes are already in trouble. **strolls in thread...cues music and pom poms**WIN WIN CHELSEA'S GOTTA WINWIN WIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's admirable, but it's predictable. Yesterday's team is probably better suited to playing in this fixture with the possible inclusion of Schurrle and Torres. It'll be physical, it'll be a battle but counter-attacking opportunities will exist and I think we've got a great chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just win, by hook or by crook, just win.Last minute winner of Ashley Cole's back (due to a failed WHU clearance from a corner) when he's not looking, 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If Jose insists on using counter attack football in this match I can see a repeat of the 3-1 loss last time. One thing is for sure, WE ARE NOT GONNA STEAMROLL THEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for sure, WE ARE NOT GONNA STEAMROLL THEM.Isn't it precisely because we won't steamroll them that we might have opportunities to hit them on the counter? They'll come at us and that will leave spaces behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oscar and Mata together? no..That's the general consensus after that Newcastle match but i disagree as long as Oscar is told to stay in the hole and Mata in the wings. Shurrle provides a more direct classical wing play from one flank and Mata and Oscar can work those passes to break down the opposition on the other side. Our failures lately are never justified by blaming the partnership pf Oscar and Mata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Warrior 109 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Refuse to lose to the pikey clareton boys. Lets play a physical lineup and match them, no backward steps, that includes are tremendous away support. We need to win a match in November or it means we have made zero forward progress.

Schurrle's direct play will come in handy and i like Oscar against that physical West ham midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
