Closed Sunderland v Chelsea

I heard Ricardo Rodriguez is turning into top LB with brilliant work on both defence and attack. He also posses great crossing among other traits. Would definately consider him since Cole is getting old and Shaw is not ready yet. Rodriguez would also cost relatively little compared to prices in market nowdays...and sure Azpi should play at RB where he realy belongs.

my heart is set on shaw if we are buying any LB, but i always wanted to see how any other person will fare if given the freedom ivanovic has with mourinho's tactics

i think Hazard,Schurle,Rami and JT should rest for Arsenal=)

I'd play Schurrle - Oscar or Mata - KdB with Willian and Oscar or Mata in the bench. Hazard at home.

I do agree about resting Eden, Rami and JT. JT is likely to be rested if Cahill is fit for the match.

And finally Azpilicueta is playing in the RB!!!

In the midfield I'd play Lamps and Essien as I favor a more defensive pivot against Arsenal with Mikel and Rami (but we all know José will play Lamps monday)

[Clevemayer 764]

think Oscar will start this

[FenereSevdali 5]

1 hour left.

[zolayes 14,489]

Mark

Dave Luiz Terry Cole

Mikel Lampard

Willian Mata Schurrle

Ba/Torres

Simple as that

I would be happy with that

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Schwarzer

Azpi - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Mikel - Lampard

Willian - Mata - Schurrle

Ba

And I want Mata to truley play in the no 10 position.

[bushman 2,043]

Where is the official lineup ?

[Ankit 3,176]

Dan Levene ‏@BluesChronicle 21s

Hearing Cech, Ramires and Mata have not travelled to Sunderland tonight. Full team news shortly...

[Jype 6,398]

Schwarzer

Azpi - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Mikel - Lampard

Willian - Mata - Schurrle

Ba

And I want Mata to truley play in the no 10 position.

In that case you will be disappointed. According to Dan Levene at least Mata, Cech and Ramires missed the trip up north completely.

[aerlgenx 49]

No Rami, Mata and Cech.

These guys will play against Arsenal =)

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

So Mata to start on Monday eh ?

Good to see Rami rested, Frank should be aswell.

I love every piece of it

[Thendo 1,088]

José really has to stop copying me (altough not sure if 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1).

I would go with this (4-3-3):

Schwarzer

Azpi Luiz Cahill Cole

Mikel

KDB Lamps

Willian Schurrle

Eto

[Tomo 21,736]

Fs, was hoping to see Kalas here.

Does this mean KDB number 10?

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Fantastic lineup actually. Very happy with it.

Pretty sure its a 4-3-3

[aerlgenx 49]

Ba deserve a start but nonetheless great line up =)
