Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Okey dokey. Hoping for a big win here. We could do with one. 4-0 chaps, and you don't have to get me anything else for xmas....well maybe a win at Arsenal but we can discuss that later!Team: Cech Azpi Terry Cahill Cole Ramires LampardHazard Mata Schurrle TorresRest Ivanovic, he needs it! Hopefully this game will get Torres firing. Give De Bruyne the full 90 live on sky in the cup mid week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 After a third clean sheet in as many games I'd like to see Schwarzer continue in goal as he deserves his place on that impressive form, but Mourinho will probably just end up playing Cech again.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 This will be tough.I've watched Palace recently, and they have been much better since Holloway has left.Schwarzer should definitely keep his spot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 3 points in the bag really. We'll maul them regardless of who plays.I would keep David Luiz in the side as he was immaculate tonight on the ball. Cahill should be nowhere near the first 11 after the way he's "performed" in the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea 734 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 everyone keeps doing 4-2-3-1 formations...We dont play 4-2-3-1 at all..I would like to see Mikel-Oscar-KDB....If we are going to sell him, I wanna get a good glimpse of his potential before we do.With wilian-Ba-Schurrle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'll never see this but I would love it if we were bold enough to try this.... PLAY IN FORM PLAYERS!------------------- Schwarzer---------- Brana - Luiz - Terry - Azpilicueta------------------- Mikel------------------------------- RamiresWillian ---------- Hazard ------------------- Schürrle----------------------- BaSort of a 4-1-4-1 with Ramires playing box to box. That is by far our fastest most direct attacking mid 3 and I'd love to see Hazard in the hole just so he can get on the ball more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously permutes during games but our base formation is clearly the 4-2-3-1. It's clearly that because the AMs are clearly seen adjacent to each other in a line when you watch games.A true 4-3-3 is the one we used to play under Mourinho in his first tenure.

Chelsea may be 4-2-3-1 on paper, but most of the time the formation is 4-3-3. Especially, when OScar and Lampard play together, which is like 90 percent of this season.. THe ams arent adjacent to each other, Oscar has to retrieve the ball most of the time he plays..A true 4-2-3-1 is not Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe ams arent adjacent to each other, Oscar has to retrieve the ball most of the time he plays..A true 4-2-3-1 is not Chelsea. bro, we are very much playing a 4-2-3-1. the reason oscar is sometime on the same level as lamps is cos lamps-mikel more often than not are unable to provide any service to our 3 AMs. so oscar has to come deep to retrieve the ball and start an attack. also playing 4-2-3-1 does not mean the 2 cant go ahead. look at city for instance, yaya and fernandinho are almost as high up as nasri/navas, yet they are the deep midfielders. so our base formation IS 4-2-3-1 and definitely not a 4-3-3.

didierforever 7,349 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 the team would have a couple of suprises no matter what. but this would be mineschwarzeiva DL JT colelamps rambowillian oscar hazardBAany1 who expects a cake-walk is going to be in for a suprise. its a TONY pULIS side and palace have anyways earned 10 points in their last 5 game and have won 3 off the last 4 games. i expect a hard fought 2-1/3-1 win.ps - schurrle would be the first player in the history to get "dropped" after scoring 2 phenomenol goals...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Schwarzer, KDB ,Luiz and Oscar nailed on starters hopefully.If De Bruyne can't even start in a 75% dead rubber game yesterday against Steaua, what makes you think he will do so against Palace here when we need the 3 points ahead of Arsenal next week?Moreover with this being Palace under Tony Pulis coming to the Bridge likely to park the bus, think Mata would be much more suitable than Oscar here to break them down.
