Closed Arsenal v Chelsea

[iceboy 992]

Cant see us winning this tbh...we are so shit atm and Arsenal are really good. we have no Drogba anymore etc. would be a huge suprise if we would win 3 points there...

Ohh ok Sir.

[zolayes 14,489]

I would have Schurrle leading the line ,,,

[zolayes 14,489]

Maybe Schurrle up front and Mata joining him as a second striker?

sorry I posted before seeing yours

willian schurrle hazard as a front 3 and get the ball quick to their feet

[Mustafa 885]

His build-up play was c-razy last season but haven't got enough game-time or motivation to perform at that level this time around.

I reckon he could fill in that second striker role comfortably.

You're correct. He hasnt reached the heights of last season and that has to do with the lack of consistent playing time and the a change in role under Jose BUT, he's still our best playmaker and we can only benefit from having on the pitch against Arsenal on Monday

Why Essien is Banned according to this website?

He Even Played 5 games this season?!

[xPetrCechx 13,548]

5th yellow against sunderland in the league cup

We played only 3 league cup games this season and he got 3 cards....

I didn't know that they count the cards from last year too?!

5th booking already?!? Lol. Essien must have the highest bookings per minutes played this year.

[didierforever 7,349]

Well, I would not be so sure. Even though, I would like to see those 3 amigos on, but one of them to play up front & no Torres, BA or Eto´o.

no torres, ba or etoo. schurlle upfront. fast pacy counters

We played 3 league cup games and he played 2 EPL games. Booked in all. I also heard the commentator say he will miss arsenal match after he got that booking in the last match

5th booking already?!? Lol. Essien must have the highest bookings per minutes played this year.

Crazy rate.... 3 in the league cup and 2 in the EPL already

Well, I would try it. However, we both know, Jose & his stubbornness, he will play one of the stooges.

Can you imagine if Chelsea had someone like the Dracula in Liverpool ? This club would be 10 points clear on the top of PL.

Schurrle ought to play, I feel too. Currently, the goons are hurting on defense, Kolcsienny or whatever his name is, out injured. Just go at them, from the first minute, at least I would.

A lot of people are like:

Or

And I'm pretty much like:

I'm not too worried. I know if we get our counter-attacking game going we can do some serious damage (e.g. Munich). Hazard, Willian and Schurrle in particular are all more than capable of causing havoc for any defence, nevermind Arsenals (which isn't great). The pressure is mostly on them remember. We may even win...so people stop being so negative!

[Stats 6,982]

Crazy to think that if Everton win and we lose we go fifth and there is me supporting on Lukaku every week

But its Arsenal and I hope Mourinho goes for the win because we are more than capable of beating them. We have beaten them countless time at the Emirates.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Will Koscielny play?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,744]

Wouldnt be surprised to see a Ramires start on the wings for this type of match.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Will Koscielny play?

Nope, injured.

Wouldnt be surprised to see a Ramires start on the wings for this type of match.

Agreed, probably gonna park the bus. Mikel, Lampard and Oscar will probably all start too.4-3-3 will probably be it.

Well, I would try it. However, we both know, Jose & his stubbornness, he will play one of the stooges.

Torres will start because he scored a tap in against Palace and because Eto'o+Ba had shit game on Tue. Torres did himself a favor by staying on the bench lol

In fact, we are the best team at the Emirates, no one has won more games there than we have. It's like at Old Trafford, no one has a better record there than us.

[haranr 485]

I would have played 4-4-2. It sounds bad but I think that we played better this way. Eto'o and Torres. Maybe it's the formation we need to change although Jose doesn't agree to that.
