Closed Stoke v Chelsea

[iceboy 992]

I doubt it that Mourinho is going to change much in the line-up aside of Ba and maybe Oscar.

Ba for Torres and Mikel for Lampard would be ok.

Cheers mate, I speak with him everytime I go to a game and didn't even know his name. Also, he held my lad up last night so he could have his photo taken with Turnbull

Yeah he's one of the nicest guys I've come across at Chelsea. Proper Chels he is.

Yeah top bloke, seems weird I didn't know the name of a bloke who I cuddle everytime I see.

I think he may of just been relieved that my other pal was selling the CFC Fanzine for him and he was getting a break

Cech

Dave Cahill Terry. Cole.

Mikel

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Expecting another mental game with weird and wtf moments....

[iceboy 992]

Press conference is tomorrow at 14:00 PM.

[Jusek 2,031]

Expecting another dominant performance from Hazard.

[svajo 153]

Stoke have conceded only 3 home goals this season (in 7 matches). But they only scored 5. Results were 2-1 vs. Palace, 0-0 vs. Man. City, 0-1 vs. Norwich, 0-0 vs. WBA, 1-1 vs. Southampton, 2-0 vs. Sunderland, 0-0 vs. Cardiff. I'd expect a clean sheet from Chelsea here and 2-3 goals scored.

Another Hazard Left-footed rocket like last year would be immense with Chelsea winning 2-0 ..more than satisfied with that

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill(Luiz if fit) - Terry - Azpi

Lampard - Ramires

Willian - Mata - Hazard

Cech

Azpi Cahill Terry Cole

Rami Lamps

Schurrle Willian Hazard

Ba

Schurrle always impresses when he comes on, so he deserves a start. Willian looked exciting and energetic in that central role so could do with another start. Torres should be dropped after yesterday so why not give Ba a run out and Cole comes back in, so maybe we rest Ivanovic.

Set piece defending make it really hard to drop Ivanovic.

We should stay close to Arsenal,they could draw next game against Everton...maybe Lukaku can help us there,surely expect a win by 2-0

----------------------Ba------------------------

Schürrle------------Mata-------------Hazard

--------------Mikel---------Ramires-------------

Cole------Terry-----------Cahill------Ivanovic

----------------------Cech----------------------------

I'd really like to see a more powerful and balanced side like this against a physical Stoke side who are at home. Ba and Schürrle should be able to deal with those defenders and we'd still have flair and creativity up there with Mata and Hazard. Mikel in for Frank since he just started and played a full match midweek.

Prediction: Stoke 1-3 Chelsea

X = Cole or Bertrand whoever.

Ba or Eto to start.

[iceboy 992]

I don't think Eto'o will be fit for this.
