Styles 9,790 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah definitely, if we go 4 3 3 which imo is best for this team we only really have Mikel as a senior back up, signing Tiago makes even more sense in hindsight, although having said that Baker plays with a fair bit if maturity for his age, which might see the door open for him if we play 4 3 3 permanently.Agreed. The Tiago signing would have given us a complete midfield in terms of numbers and perhaps even the right mix of qualities. Schwarzer taking up a foreign spot is really bizarre to be honest, especially when he almost certainly won't play a single minute in the league.If being a midfielder short opens up the path for Baker I'm all for it though.

I do actually think Baker could play a few times this season, apparently Mou acknowledged the HG issue last season so one of his next tasks should be sorting it out, promoting Baker would be a good start.

There'll be some short-term pain (small'ish squad mainly) but hopefully Baker, Loftus-Cheek, Boga, Musonda, Solanke etc solve the issue once and for all.

lucio 5,418 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Cech, Ake, Cahill, Zouma, Luis, Mikel, Baker, Schurrle, Oscar, Salah, Remy.Subs: Schwarzer, Christenson, Azpi, RLC, Boga, Willian, Drogba.interesting team. but who is the RB? i think ake could find it awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Stick Schwarzer up front for the last 20 if we're winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 What are the odds Baker actually gets significant minutes today?Depends on how we do. If we're up by 3 around 60 minutes then he probably gets a run out for about half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 What time is team news due? I'm leaving the house at 6.30 and off to watch Spurs vs Forest with my mate who's a Forest fan. Is it likely i'll get Chelsea's team news before I go? The anticipation of Baker/Boga/Zouma getting some minutes is killing me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thendo 1,088 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Ake as defensive mid anyone? Played there a couple of times under Benitez if I recall correctly. I think that is the biggest question mark, who will pair with Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
