didierforever 7,349 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Bookies:Fulham - CFC: 1.47Stoke - Arsenal: 1.66Southampton - Liverpool: 2.05Man. City - Sunderland : ?Chelsea are the firmest favourites by the looks of it. City play the postponed match and it looks like the bookies forgot about it.Fulham are the wooden spoon team but made things difficult for Liverpool (because Liverpool have a shaky defense, 2-3 in the end).city play Sunderland in the final of COC. Not thesuspended game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hopefully, Chelsea´s players are well rested for tomorrow.According to what I have read, they landed in London yesterday at 4 a.m.This is ridiculous.Despite of it, I expect nothing but a win tomorrow.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Fatigue could be a factor and could give us a bad result. This one is the right opportunity to rotate our squad................................................................Cech.....................................................................................Azpi...............................JT........................................................Cahill..........................................Cole...........................................................Matic...........................Luiz............................................................................Salah.................................................... Oscar...........................................................Hazard(or Willian )............................................................. Torres...................................................................................................No! We'll concede half a dozen goals if we play that....too much space between the two CBs!

Strike 7,547 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The game at Stamford Bridge vs Fulham was our worst PL performance off the season yet we still won 2 0 and never looked troubled apart from one moment when Cahill played Bent onside. This Fulham team are awful, the only way we will drop points is through utter complacency.wouldn't put it past chelsea to be complacent relegation teams are always dangerous. fulham as woeful as they are, having a new manager at home with the record striker making his debut. i don't share your confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think Salah can get a start ?I want to rest Hazard but maybe its too much of a risk.. so I dunno.Willian never needs a rest I guess.. Would like a Matic - Lampard pivot.Eto'o in. not enough space in this game for Torres.Oscar should start. Schurrle was pretty alive against Gala so if Willian\Hazard get a rest he's also an option.

Viper22 2,418 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Got to go for it in this game. But Willian and Hazared need a rest.Our players will be tired but IMO I think if we come out of the gates like a house on fire they won't be able to deal with us. Just have to hope our finishing gets better...Cech, Azpi, JT, Cahill, Ivan, Luiz, Matic, Salah, Oscar, Schurrle, Torres.With Hazard, Willian and Eto'o ready to come on around 50/55mins if we're losing/drawing. Imagine Scott Parker and the Fulham defence playing a testing 55mins then having to put up with a fresh Willian and Hazard. Doesn't bear thinking about from their perspective.Hopefully we should win without them though and those 2 can have their rest, especially if we hit them hard at first for a goal or two then try and control the game from there.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 CechIvanovic Cahill Terry Azpi Matic Lamps Willian Oscar Hazard Eto'oMaybe Luiz in for Lamps if he's fit. Need to win this and capitalise on City not playing a league match, but Fulham aren't going to be pushovers. New manager (like West Brom), relegation-threatened (like West Brom) and it's a London derby although Fulham fans aren't exactly the most vitriolic out there.

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I wouldn't be so sure about that (would rather face Cardiff if we have to). Fulham, especially under Martin Jol, have always been poor-average side or horribly out of form but forever turning up against us and as Alex has mentioned earlier, with this being a derby and their first home game under a new manager, it's going to be a tricky one.Under Jol in his first season, they finished 8th level on points with Liverpool and only a few behind Everton. Which in that season we got two 1 1s against them. Last season we drew 0 0 at home when they were still pretty decent but from Jan onwards there form totally nosedived because off players stagnating and since then we have had 2 comfortable wins without playing that great ourselves.Dont get me wrong there is like always a chance off dropping points, but new manager or not, this won't be as hard as facing them back in 2011 and 2012 was, we are better and they are worse.

Regardless of whether they good or bad now, as I said, they'll somehow still turn up even when their form is horrendous, like now. Has happened in the past and won't be a surprise if it happens again. And besides, having just played 2 days in Turkey and Fulham have a week off to prepare, this could well be an advantage for them.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We have to score early, lack of rest could haunt us in the 2nd half.I think we need to rotate a few players. Luckily oscar will be fresh for this Barbara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 José wasn't in a very cheery mood there was he?Said the players haven't trained yet so we can probably expect some pretty dour football for parts of this one due to tired legs. Luckily Matic and Oscar will be very well rested and hopefully Luiz is fit and could maybe slot into midfield.Should still have more than enough to handle the worst side in the league.
