Toli 977 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hopefully its a 4-3-3 and not a 4-2-3-1 with Ramires as a RW...sick of him at right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 wonder if Oscar would have started if he were fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Traveler 256 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This match is even more a MUST WIN now.This is the perfect situation to make some gap in the top four something we failed to do last season.Come one boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 433 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why willian not as RW, Cesc AMC, Ramires CM and Hazard LW?Maybe Ramires to stop Baines , Hazard allowed to have a free role and not worry to much about tracking back and then Cesc plays a little deeper which imo is his better position. But Formations arn't that rigid they will chop and changes constantly throughout the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Good lineup. I'm certainly no huge Ramires fan, but it's clear that Fabregas and Matic as the main central midfielders were a bit unbalanced against two promotion teams, and I could see it costing against better opponents like Everton. Also hopefully this should give Fabregas a bit more free role, which I think will make him even better in there.Edit : only just saw the Chelsea twitter image. Hope that isn't true.

Barbara 15,149 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Mmm, strange that Oscar is not on the bench. Guess he is injured.that's the obvious conclusion anyone with brains would have guessed.It's one thing to have someone chosen over you - and also normal, as I said in his thread last week, if Mourinho has a different plan for a match, it's not that weird he doesn't start. But if he's not even in the bench then you don't need to think too much to conclude he's got some physical issue.There are two different reports as of now, a virus and a knock in the ankle. I hope it's the former.Edit: that said I absolute hate that midfield in the way Chelsea twitter feed reported. I hope it's a 4-3-3 with Ramires BEHIND Cesc... anything else leads me to bang my head on the walls constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Apparently José didn't sound so convincing in his interview just now about Costa's fitness.Hopefully not another CL final situation with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Come on you Blues! Man City falls on their face, let's take the Toffees and head to the mini-break undefeated. I like the lineup and I'll say Chelsea wins 3-1. I'll go with Hazard, Willian and Fabregas.Come on you Chelsea! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why's King Filipe on the bench again!Because our defense got a clean sheet last week and was the best defense in the league last season maybe?You cant bench Azpilicueta or Ivanovic right now.

Dy-lan 142 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Everton seem to run out of gas at around 70'..wonder if Jose plans to have us soak up pressure then unleash around then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It's really important to win today so we can start putting pressure on the other teams that already dropped points.Luis will start playing really soon, and will start at home, unless something wrong happens with Iva or Azpi.This would be my starting eleven. I think it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
