Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The next 2 matchdays could be crucial. Two wins and we would be massive title favourites in the run in. A draw at City would also be a great result, but at first we have to win at home vs West Ham.I see Jose going with a 4-3-3 like in the away game again. I hope Oscar&Hazard get a rest pre City. A good old fashioned-----------Cech--------Azpi--Cahill---JT--Cole------------Matic-----------------Rami----Lamps---Willian----Ba------Schürrlewould be amazing to see, just like in the good old times. Pacy wingers (Robben-Duff now Schürrle-Willian), big, aerial striker (DrogBA) and a runner (Ess-Ramires), a strategist (Makelele-Matic) and a goalscorer (The one and only Frank Lampard) in midfield. Maaan this would be awesome one last time playing such a classy formation. Might also enhance our chances of overpowering WHU in midfield like last time + resting our two most important players ins offence. What a squad we got, we literally rest 4 or 5 starters but still could field the 2nd best starting XI in the league without even exhausting our options.

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The players have had a day to get psyched about the possibility of going top, everyone should be well up for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can't Believe you just compared Eto'o just now to Ibrahimovic! that's like comparing a skoda to a massarati! He is finished. He won't get better, get rid in the summer along with BA.He wasn't comparing current Eto'o's ability with Ibrahimovic's... All he said is that had Eto'o stayed in a good league he would've been sharper. Nothing wrong with that. Also, question: if we could get rid of Torres would you?

duo11bluecl 207 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 i guess Mou's saving Matic for CityThat is crazy, seeing he did well against Stoke but that was because Stoke was utter shit. Can't believe Mikel is starting over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I feel like this would have been a good game for Ba to start and rest Eto'o for City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,984 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hope Carroll doesn't batter our defense with the constant crosses and hoofball West Ham will surely play.Not as confident now that I know Matić isn't starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I expected Ba to start. Interesting. Good strong and solid lineup. Let's kick their arses!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I doubt it. Will probably be Lampard + Ramires.Can't tell if you're serious or not.Lampard - Ramires against City's midfield would be suicide, especially at the Etihad. For that match, I'd even go as far as play a three man midfield with Mikel - Matic - Ramires and Hazard - Oscar as the two attacking midfielders.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I doubt it. Will probably be Lampard + Ramires.I'd go Matic + Luiz for the City gamepossession + disruption would be key in controlling their excellent midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
