Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Okay. I won't post a team of my own because most of you guys have covered what I want. Plus I don't think Jose reads my posts *sobs*.Will be tougher than we may think based on league positions. But I'm hopeful for a 1-0 or even 2-0 win. Torres got a double there last season so I expect him to start. Use Ba and his physical presence against Stoke. Then maybe play Eto'o against Steaua. Every striker's a winner!!A Schurrle sighting would be nice too. Just sayin'Come on Chelsea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHL 47 378 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Attack their weaknesses.Play down the sides of the centre-halves (O'Shea & Wes Brown), get the wide midfielders to do what it says on the tin and stay wide, don't narrow their defence.Keep Cattermole away from Mata (if he starts) to provide space for Mata to operate in, by deploying a decoy runner (Ramires?). Play balls into channels for the forward, if the full-back tucks in tight to his centre-half use the wide men.I get the feeling Poyet will play 5 at the back and this might be similar to playing at home and trying to break down a 9-man defence, with them playing on the break.One of our better performances beats their best, so tactics and all that aside, the players need to turn up firstly and foremostly. A small niggling doubt is that Jose might be tempted to make a few changes to keep us fresh, the doubt being does this break any continuity we have?

GeeMon 34 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 5:30 am kick off over here in Australia. Please don't be a depressing day in the office.With Oscar injured it will be interesting to see Mata in #10 position. I'd love to see at least Schurlle or Willian beside him, as another member pointed out it will be fascinating to see him with the two widest players we have.KTBFFH!

Thendo 1,088 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I really hope Schurrle gets a start tonight, I've been really impressed by him so far this season and he hasn't played for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanishBlue 426 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I love our attack. Beside Torres that's the attack I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So long as Willian stays wide and Mata links the team together well then hopefully this isn't a repeat of Newcastle away.Come on you blues!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Liking the team. This also confirms that Schürrle is just in front of KDB in the AM pecking order. Still find it strange though, seemed like a fan favourite of Mourinho in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
