Closed Chelsea v Sunderland

[Shane 2,275]

Ba should start for me. 2 in 2 games, and we need Eto'o fresh for the big ones.

The three games against Atletico, Liverpool and Atletico again will be interesting as Eto'o probably won't know who to go for, at the minute, I think Ba has moved to second choice striker.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Actually we need Ba against Atletico so I would start Etoo

I'd rather start Eto'o against Atletico.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I'd rather start Eto'o against Atletico.

Etoo seems more confident at home than away, today u coul really see that its in his mind about not scoring at away from home.

There's something about Sunderland that does my head in. Hope we smash them!!

[shelmus 12]

It will be not a difficult match for us, moreover at SB ...

Ba should start ! it's evident at the moment. Eto'o for athletico

[CHOULO19 24,332]

20-30 minutes for Hazard if fit would be perfect.

Eto'o to start for me. Ba starting away at Athletico may not be a bad idea, imo. Gives them something completely different to deal with which they do not have in their league.

[Special Juan 28,133]

5-0 this.

[Special Juan 28,133]

I'll save some for Madrid.

We'll beat them 8-0

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

I know it won't happen with Mourinho in charge, but I'd go for:

It wouldn't happen with anyone but you in charge

[Liquidator 5,176]

Assuming we will drop points because everyone is saying it will be an easy win.

Anyway, want us to do them because Poyet is a Tottenham badge-kissing arsehole.

[Viper22 2,418]

I think we'll be ok today. Always 10x more nervous playing away, at the Bridge we've been solid this season. Just have to dig in for the long game as they'll sit deep and do nothing to try and make the game entertaining.

Cech, Cole, JT, Cahill, Ivan, Matic, Oscar, Schurrle, Willian, Salah, Ba. Oscar DLP to help with playing against the inevitable 10 men in their box.

I'm going with a scrappy, boring 2-0 win. Which i'll take.

[Jase 43,479]

I thibk it is because pool n spurs play with 2 strikers

True but one could also argue that Sunderland are not the most defensively solid of teams and playing with a back 3/5 gives them that security. Keep it tight, defend, don't give chances away and then look to pinch something on the break.
