Pizy 18,918 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So Hodgson says Kyle Walker needs "at least" a week to reach fitness so that's one less thing to be concerned about for us. His pace can cause a few problems.Hope Willian/Schürlle and Hazard are really up for this becasue those Spuds fullbacks are there to be bent over. They struggle mightily to score against bad defenses so if we're dialed in and don't have any stupid mistakes we should be able to shut them down.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Get the ball to hazard everytime and make runs around him to take away his markers, we'll score goals then. Eden2020 and ZOS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Can we clone Azpilicueta and play him at right-back as well instead of Branislav "refuse to close down an attacker" Ivanovic? kellzfresh and Mufassir08 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They struggle mightily to score against bad defenses so if we're dialed in and don't have any stupid mistakes we should be able to shut them down.A shame, because Naughton is a better right-back defensively than Walker, although they're both no better than average in my humble opinion. Hazard and Willian with have either on toast. They've torn far better full-backs to pieces this season, Zabaleta and Debuchy, for instance.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think this is a game we should play 4-3-3Ivanovic -Cahill - Terry - AzpilicuetaLuiz - Matic - LampardSchurrle - Eto'o - HazardChange it late on if we're not getting the result and bring on Hehatestottenham, Ramires and Oscar.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I know everyone here doesn't want to see him, but I think Ramires is a nailed on starter for this one. We have to match Paulinho's energy in the middle. Plus, Rami always tends to do extremely well against Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to match Paulinho's energy in the middle. Plus, Rami always tends to do extremely well against Tottenham. I just think he's tired. would love for him to play but he hasn't been the 'legs in the middle of the pitch' for quite some time now. I think we can counter Paulinho by packing the midfield which is why I have Lamps, Luiz and Matic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Schurrle not as a striker please. Scoring goals when making midfield runs into space is very different to playing as a striker. He started as one against Man U at OT early in the season and did absolutely nothing.He hit the crossbar actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Eto'oHazard-----------SchurrleMatic - Luiz - RamiresAzpi - JT - Cahill - Iva Cech I think something like this is what we'll go for. A very strong team that wont risk going down by a goal and just counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think this is a game we should play 4-3-3With Mou the 4-3-3 variation (during tough opponents in must win games) is almost always 4321 or 4312 depending on how substitutes end up.

Berke 58 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thoughts on Hazard through the middle like Bale was used last season at Spurs? Cech Iva-Terry-Cahill-Azpi Matic-Luiz Schurlle-Eddie-Willian TorresShould have enough to beat Spuds at home I should think. They are very poor and indecisive in the final third and our defense should be able to see it through, 2-0 Matic, Schurlle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyfreshh 164 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Sorry to change subject but, if we end with same record as city, do they win the league with goal difference? Or do we win because of head to head wins?? Thanks ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
