Pizy 18,916 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Apparently they were absolutely abysmal against Palace the other day. Last time I saw Palace a few weeks ago they looked like the worst side in the league by some margin.We should be winning this one rather handily, but as we saw against Sunderland we'll probably make it much more difficult than it should be.Hopefully Hazard is still in Super Saiyan form.

Phil Driver 503 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ...............Cech..............Ivan...Terry....Cahill....Azpi...........Essien....Ramires.......Willian...Mata...Hazard...................Ba...............Stoke are not managed by Pullis anymore but they still have Crouch so I want good aeriel defenders and that is Ivan,Terry and Cahill ,Lampard has been superb but this comes to soon,the three AM's were very good at Sunderland and Willian and Mata should not be tired after not playing most games,you cant leave Hazard out he must be buzzing . Ba should start because he is fresh and scored in his last game for us . Do not want Mikel and us sitting deep inviting Stoke to pressure us, we need to carry on from Sunderland and have the confidence to press and support our AM's with early passing and attempting to win the ball as high up the pitch as possible,with the two DM's? (they are not they are midfielders) closing down as a partnership and looking to spring the counter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHL 47 378 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What the fuck type of injury does Luiz have keeping him out this long? We could do with some rotation.Barcelonitus, I hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,417 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Was I the only one who noticed that in the last 2 gameweeks Chelsea Players have set PL and European records .. Ramires for most tackles in a single game and Hazard with most dribbles.. Creating History CFC :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I doubt it that Mourinho will be rotating much when he said in the press conference that the players have a day off on sunday to rest. He's also implying that Oscar may or may not be ready for play thus in that justifying another start for Mata. I also don't like rotating for the sake of rotating to keep players happy or to see how the chips fall. Rotate when a certain player was an obvious weak link or has an injury, There are matches coming wich aren't that important (Steua) but are a good opportunity where players can show their worth. Bringing either De Bruyne or Schürrle in is a gamble, they want to impress but they haven't played in a while also... Arguments can be made for either Ba (deserves it the most) or Mikel, but Lampard was more than good enough last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvala 2,167 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'd probably give Schurrle a go, can't remember the last time he was playing ... He's more physical than the other AMs. Would probably get him in instead of Willian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I would start with Mikel and Ba, we need tall players for this match.Well I guess Barca stand no chance against Stoke then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm far too confident for this one. Let's hope it all goes to plan and we come back with 3 more points in the bag. I feel we've got too much for them, regardless of who Mourinho fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This is a funny coincidence: Stoke are currently 14th in the league with 14 points from 14 matches Not after today. 14 points in 15 matches and going down the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I do not want Cahill to start this game.Would like to see Iva - Terry as CB.If I see Torres start this then I will puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This will be a very physical match so I won't expect Torres to feature in this one. Ba and Mikel should definitely start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
