Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Can only assume Mo didn't make it up to Stoke in time from his panto performance as Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley. It's a cruel world. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman60 1,343 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 No Mo Salah. As good a reason as any to crack on with a box of CelebrationsCan I have a nutty one please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Zouma not 100 percent match fit should be the only justification for starting Cahill. He's been terrible all season and hope he doesn't cost us points tonight . I would have gone with Azpi Ivanovic JT and Filipe. Other than that, it's a very decent line up although the Mikel Matic combo lacks mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mikel Oscar, Remy, and Ramires might be saved for boxing day. Unless they're really injured. We're playing 433 in disguise, I think. Confident with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDance 552 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I wasn't expecting the line up but we'll have to see we do need to rest some good players like Remy and Oscar for the next match but was hoping Salah or Schurrle starting with Oscar on second half.

The Chels 2,502 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Not sure playing Mikel and Azpi at LB is the best idea in this kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It appears that touching up your sister gets you benched at Chelsea. At Norwich it gets you a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Not as confident anymore after seeing the lineup. Midfield looks kind of slow.Think this'll be a sluggish, boring match with a late goal deciding it.Doesn't really matter given that Stoke's team isn't about pace anyway. Especially their midfield. It'll come down to our flair players (Fabregas, Hazard) on how well we'll play today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Can see creativity being an issue for us. Please, PLEASE don't let this be another one of those matches where we get the ball to the edge of the opponents box and stand around like statues. Where our only efforts are from long range and we look utterly devoid of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 We'll start playing 4-3-3 in the Champions League so it might be good to see us test it out more anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 A little too defensive for my liking. Mikel and Azpi screams overkill. Guess Brana will see a lot of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
