stroey 2,525 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 TiboIva - Cahill - JT - AzpiRamires - Zouma - LuisWillian - Remy - Hazard 1-0 I like this line up, as an emergency line when both Matic and Cesc are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Qphaha suddenly looks lethal on the front. Our defence better ready for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekid9 418 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Think we might see Matic dropped in this one too avoid a yellow, think we could live without cesc easier than matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza 1,965 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I like this line up, as an emergency line when both Matic and Cesc are not available.I don't know much more defensive you can get! Looks more like a 6-1-3. It's Qpr, not Barcelona Zouma-Rami in the pivot with in a 4231 is probably more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not that it'll happen, but i'd like to see:-----------------Tibo-------------------Azpi----Ivan-----Terry----Luis----------Zouma----Ramires---------Willian----Fabregas----Hazard-----------------Remy----------------Subs: Cech, Cahill, Christensen, RLC, Oscar, Cuadrado, Drogba.Matic rested to stop the inevitable yellow card, Zouma in the midfield as he's the only one capable of replacing Matic's grunt. Ivan at CB cos he's useless at RB but Cahill is more useless at CB. If I see both Oscar and Cahill starting I think it might bring me to tears...GC has been solid for past few weeks.

Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just don't protect Matic and Fabregas. It may sound weird but I remember a lot of games when we try to protect players and then we get beaten. Just play match by match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Your country must have a different meaning for the world Solid Did you see him at the hull game?He was better against Stoke agreed. Actually, Ivanovic was the bad one against Hull. Cahill allowed N'Zonzi by doing the usual backing off, right after our goal. He wasn't troubled too much. Would pick Zouma 10/10, but hey, that's me.

Stats 7,147 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just don't protect Matic and Fabregas. It may sound weird but I remember a lot of games when we try to protect players and then we get beaten. Just play match by match...I agree with you and I am sure Mourinho takes this approach to. This is what he said in regard to Costa when he had 4 yellow cards to his name and we had WBA upcoming at home:"‘Diego has four yellow cards, but am I going to protect him from any game? No way, he plays,’ said the Portuguese. ‘When he gets the fifth he gets the fifth. The most important game is West Brom. After that the most important game is Sunderland".When Matic and Fabregas was on 4 yellow cards he never protected them and continued playing them, regardless of opposition. Like Mourinho said the most important game is our next opponent which is QPR. We put ourselves in a better position to win the league by beating the smaller teams anyway.

It may sound weird but I remember a lot of games when we try to protect players and then we get beaten. Just play match by match...Yes, but this season we haven't suffered that much as far as I could remember. We have only lose 3 match this season. That Bradford game is weird, Newcastle game we play our best possible, except Matic who suspended, Spurs away was a final boxing day disaster. None we are saving certain players and then lose, except Bradford one. I'm sure if both Matic and Fabregas playing full 90 minutes, at least one will get yellow. The answer might be not to play them full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Zouma as a DM only in a most extreme situation/emergency and QPR ain't it! Wish we had proper back up so I'd never seen him play there again - he is awful there. He's an excellent CB (better than Cahill already), esp for his age, but he's not a good passer and being a good passer is one of the most important attributes for the the DM position. I've said that over and over again: our lack or control in games stems from the type of player we have in the defensive positions, not this or that player. It hasn't really changed over the years regardless of who plays middle and front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Also we're near the end of season, and our upcoming fixtures will be MU and Arsenal, so if there should be a risky decision not to play one or both in a 'less dangerous' game, with a risk of losing points, to save it for later, now is the time.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm sorry but we have to field Matic and Cesc despite the yellow card situation. It's now about getting across the line and getting 3 points on the board. If they get yellows then we deal with it after, I'd rather deal with the headache of that than lost 3 points because we decided to leave them out.

Atholy 1,293 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This might seem a little bit unlogical what I'm about to say... But IMO Jose should start Cuadrado.It's clear he's been struggling to find his form since he joined! It was really painful to see him struggle in the last game against Stoke, the audience reactions on every failed action surely will have lowered his confidence.I'm afraid we can lose a good prospect if he continue to have subs like that. He has the quality to be a great player for us. Jose should give him a confidence boost by picking him in his starting XI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
