Jase 43,479 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 TiboIvanovic Cahill Terry AzpiRamires MaticWillian Oscar HazardCostaConsidering we have to play two defensive minded players in the pivot, I would want to see Schurrle in place of Willian on the RW. Need more attacking threat to compensate for Fabregas' absence. Willian works hard but he doesn't provide enough threat going forward like Schurrle does. And Hull are likely to park the proverbial bus this weekend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Would love to see a midfield of Matic, Oscar and Willian with Schurrle and Hazard on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If Rami is 100% fit, he naturally he should be the one to come into the side, otherwise, Mikel replace Cesc. Though, we should really beat those with our U21s team. They're that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This is usually a fixture I'd be weary of but considering we're coming off of a PL loss and we're at home I think we're going to batter them. Can see a 3 or 4 goal victory.We really, really need to continue winning now that City have lost their best player and have a breezy run of fixtures coming up. Have to hope that they slip up along the way whilst we continue winning. If they keep pace with us or even overtake us with Aguero still to return then we're in serious trouble if we slip up ourselves. Not to mention United now have serious momentum and are creeping up on us too.As for our XI, I kind of don't mind who starts next to Matić. Been impressed with Mikel lately and it's not like we're going against some powerhouse midfield here. I think he's more than good enough to start this one. I'd love to see José experiment a little with our attack and try starting 2 strikers. --------------------Costa------------------Hazard-----------Oscar--------------Remy------------Mikel----------Matić-------------Azpi--------Terry--------Cahill----------Iva-------------------Courtois-------------------That's an extremely fluid front 4 that can and will switch positions throughout the game and cause all kinds of problems for Hull. Nice defensive platform too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Ramires must start. His pace and stamina will be perfect for the entire game, particularly the second half, against Hull. Especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa will almost certainly start but I would prefer Remy or Drogba because, again, he has been looking shaken as of late. Having said that, perhaps banging a goal in will be a straight cure.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Absolutely zero need for Mikel here. I'd love to see Ramires and Oscar in a three with Matic.But he's on fire now.
