CFC888 219 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Tough fixture, but providing we start well (which is by no means guaranteed) then I expect us to be able to come away with the 3 points. That good start I speak of may require something a bit innocuous like poor marking at a set piece allowing JT to pop up and head us into the lead (like we saw at Stoke).I expect us to line up as follows:CechIvanovic Terry Zouma LuisMatic FabregasWillian Oscar HazardCostaSubs: Courtois, Ake, Cahill, Mikel, Ramires, Drogba, Remy.- Cech to stay in goal after a strong performance against Newcastle and that with a broken thumb, Thibaut probably needs a little more time out.- Luis straight in for Dave, Ake to provide full backs cover on the bench.- I've kept Gazza on the bench because I believe Zouma was faultless against Newcastle.- For me Oscar remains at #10 despite a compelling argument in favour of Mikel starting alongside Matic and Cesc pushing further forward. I'm hoping a drought-breaking goal against Newcastle will give Oscar some added confidence, and he definitely thrives on this. I think his uncharacteristically animated celebration after scoring shows just how much he needed a goal to end a tough period of illness and poor performances.

the wes 7,212 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Mikel will start this. Oscar will be dropped. Cahill will be back. Everybody will be happy.I would like to see ramires get on ahead of Mikel that would make me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 15:00 Swansea v Chelsea Jonathan Moss D Cann A Holmes K FriendReferees/Jon Moss? That's dodgy. He's one of the three referees this season to have given the most red cards (5).And speaking of referees, Arsenal got Mike Dean for their game against City.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 ???Arsenal have a poor record when Mike Dean officiates their matches. Only around 5 wins in 20+ league matches. Not sure about the exact figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It would be funny if we can 'restore' 8 points gap as fast as we lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't show Saturday 3pm kick off's over here on TV because they say it harms attendances at lower league games.The first 15 minutes of the El Classico in October wasn't shown because of that broadcasting rule. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/real-madrid-vs-barcelona-why-will-the-first-15-minutes-of-el-clasico-not-be-shown-on-british-tv-9813800.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Here we get ALL the EPL games live There was an issue with this last season with the EPL objecting that this helps with illegal streams or something like that but BeIN got the right back this season and are broadcasting all the EPL games live.

I can somewhat(barely) understand it because of the lower league attendances being affected and so on, but it makes no sense to have the same restrictions abroad.
