Have been disappointed with Cahill lately and he needs dropping until he regains form, Luis and Hazard on the same flank will be absolutely vital. Oscar to come in if City start to control the game more so than we'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I worry greatly about the Matic fabregas midfield combo in this game. we have been far too open with this midfield and man city will make us pay darely for it if we attempt it at the etihad. Ramires should come back in with Fabregas moved higher up and flanked by Hazard and Willian/schurrle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramires should come back in with Fabregas moved higher up and flanked by Hazard and Willian/schurrle.Can't see Jose starting with the two, he knows they'll hammer us. Think there is also a possibility of Pellegrini playing the three off Fernandinho, Fernando and Yaya.The 4-3-3 will be started here. Rambo has had his best games in a blue shirt against City in the past so lets hope he continues it. Think we'll win 1-0 with a late Costa winner.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 There is 100% chance that both Oscar and Ramires will start against City. Their defensive work is needed from the get go.Willian is the player who can come on and bring something different, like a long shot, quick dribble and flick.We will return to a deep defense line for this game, which will help our CBs - still a tough match for sure.

Thor 2,712 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wouldn't mind the same starting 11 bar Drogba as the Schalke match. Luis really impressed me and looked better and more secure than Azpi up back. Was also more influential going forward IMO. People overreacted far too much to the Schalke game, considering we lost so much with Drogba out there, seeing as he is not at his best. People need to come down on the reactions after one game, particularly in one which we dominated, created 4 open net chances that happened to go wide, and had a striker that is injured and clearly our 3rd option out there. Drogba took away a lot of our movement that we are used to with Costa out there. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but we played more long balls against Schalke than we have in all 4 other games combined this season, and yet we were still far better than them.Add to that, Schalke is not some average team, they are a good one. At the level of an Everton here in the EPL, and it's not like we would make headlines for drawing with them, like some are harping on about here with the draw. Not to mention, with not our strongest side... Does anyone actually think we lose that game with Remy or Costa starting? Exactly... I feel we come out of this match with less possession, but our team being far more clincal and useful in possession than Man City. Much like last season, although now we have better finishers and creators, and I also think we'll see more of the ball than last seasons fixtures, especially with Yaya going through a rough patch with them at the moment and not looking his best. I'm really confident we win, even if we go down. Even in the Schalke match, in the 90th minute, I thought for sure we would score. Been a long time since I've felt that way about this team. This team oozes confidence on the pitch, and it translates to us fans. We can feel it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I would get rid of Willian and play Schürrle instead.Courtois - Iva, Terry, Cahill, Filipe - Rami, Matic, Fabre - Hazard, Costa, Schürrle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
