Viper22 2,418 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is not a good match to rotate to Cesc. He will have time to rest against Sporting.Fair. But I think we need Mikel & Ramires in a 3 man midfield without Matic. So assuming we keep our best wingers (Willian & Hazard) it's a straight shootout between Cesc and Oscar, and I think Oscar has looked less knackered and more effective recently. So I chose Oscar. Cesc would work too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAB 1,030 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 With no Matic @ Newcastle away. Let's face it, it's our biggest test yet and possibly the whole season's.Having said that i hope that Newcastle somehow forget how they're always up for it against us so that we can smash them, otherwise it's going to be very tough. As for our Midfield i'd go with Oscar, Cesc, Rami, Willian, Eden and pray it's enough. Maybe save Mikel for second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyfreshh 164 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yes Matic is suspended and can be a really big blow. Newcastle is always tough team to play in St.James Park.Pardew confirmed that Coloccini will be back for this match and also said that they need to threaten us because we look terrific. We(CHELSEA) are a great team who are strong and organised.I expect a really tough match. City will play Everton and you never know. #agentLukaku.I'm pretty confident that Everton will get crushed . We need to win at Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick 339 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I got a feeling tomorrow we will understand just how much Matic is important for us.This could turn out to be a very similar game to the one against Sunderland, but with Newcastle scoring at the other end. Mikel can completely ruin our offensive play.If we will win this i'll probably be more happier than I was in any other win we had this season so far.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 This makes me annoyed at ginkel , for running off. Don't expect another chanceHe recovered from a potentially career ending injury and needed game time! You think that MvG is the only say in where he plays? He's an employee! Plenty of people would have been involved in the decision making process. The decision makers believed we had enough to cover the position!If any blame is to be apportioned - it's at the decision makers.Please think before you post, it just makes you look stupid if you don't even understand how decisions about players are handled...
