Closed Chelsea v Southampton

[Blue Gino 377]

I'd like to see Cech, Azpi, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Mikel, DeBruyne, Oscar, Hazard, Mata & Torres ( 4-3-3 ) Schurrle and Willian impact subs.

i like this line up. more like a 4-1-4-1. something that munich are playing these days. but no chance of us actually seeing this line-up on the pitch. no chance.

Don't see why we shan't win this. They are in a false position and this is as good a time as any to see them start falling away. They took 4 points off us last season so we'll get em back tomorrow.

[aerlgenx 49]

Cech

Azpi Cahill Terry Cole

Rami Mikel

Willian Mata Hazard

Torres

this lineup will rock Southamton

Part of me would give up the three points just to see our club put out a core of young, mostly English talent like that. Southampton really are a credit to this league, they're fearless and whilst their position may be 'false' it's by no means undeserved. They may only have one song but their fans can be proud of that team come what may and if they do beat us then it won't be by luck.

It will be because they're trying to do things in a different way. Hard to hate a team who does that and they've got some genuinely nice supporters in my experience.

Mikel over Lampard for this one. Mikel is better under pressure and with Southampton's high pressing game? yeh.

Lamps would be better suited playing at the SOL and against Stoke, were he would probably smash in a goal or two.

Southampton targeted Mikel in the game at the St Marys last season from what I recall. In fact any team that presses high tends to focus on him in that regard.

I also think that leaves us without anyone to actually pass the ball forward from midfield.

I'd like that as well.....Can make it more Bayern-ish with Azpi as CDM.

[Strike 7,309]

Oscar over Mata again for me. Start Mata against Sunderland and Crystal Palace

MUST WIN! or 7 points gap...

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Failing to win tomorrow means out title chance is as good as done. Arsenal is just too good atm, then there is City who is finding their best form. We still need to play Liverpool, Arsenal next in a few weeks so games like this is a must win

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I miss Mata. Really hope he gets to play tomorrow.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Is it worth a shot then? I do look quite young (which I am), it's belieable that I'm 18 (especially since I'm like 6"2) but it's not like "wow this guy is definately 18+".

You should get away with it if your avatar is anything to go by. If you're not confident the Pelican Bar serve me without ID and I'm not 18

[didierforever 7,349]

with arsenal winning, we have to keep up. cant afford a slip-up now. need a win.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

I hate that when we are the last top team to play in a game week, either other title contenders won or lost, pressure pressure pressure. I'm going to be nail-less tomorrow.
