Closed Arsenal v Chelsea

Lol poor solanke

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Remember to play your bet lads, less than 30% possession and less than 3 shots on target

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

Obviously Drogba is still struggling with injury or he would have started. So what do people expect Mou to do, put in a youngster who hasn't played a single minute in the premier league in a potential title-decider????

[Milan 17,853]

At least we are not going to play long balls, as there is no target man ala Drogba. Counter attacking football for sure.

Mourinho can just go shov it in his ass, such a pragmatic manager

[didierforever 7,349]

My goodness.... good thing we actually don't need the result. we don't have any available strikers

upper side: will we see long range shots then? We seriously lack them

long range shots by whom? ramires?

[Henrique 9,133]

Bold line up.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Solanke was never going to play, and you can't blame Mourinho.

I understand that, believe me. Never expected Jose to play Solanke at all. Just a bit annoying for Dominic that he was given that false hope. Jose didn't need to call him up from the U21s.

[MichaelDance 552]

Not sure what to make of that line up. False nine experiment hasn't worked in the past. I guess Mou would be more than satisfied with a draw.

True but Hazard is brilliant

@specialjuan - how is it that this one does not get a warning?

[Chelsea? 892]

not false 9, we just not playing with a striker cause a #9 isn't really needed for counter attacking football. besides the ball will be on their half of the filed about 6/7 times the entire game

[Pizy 18,368]

If Drogba is on the bench it means that he at least CAN play, albeit not the whole 90. So why not just start him and only give him the first half or so?

Can see our attacking buildup being very poor today.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Imagine a repeat of Juve game here...

[Thendo 1,088]

Solanke is playing tomorrow in the Youth final. He was never going to start today...

[Dylan_91 90]

Don't like the thought of hazard playing false 9. he's better running with the ball from deep. He will hardly touch the ball.

@specialjuan - how is it that this one does not get a warning?

because he's not offending anyone and just expressing his opinion

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

A waring for what?? Expressing my dislike for Mourinho who most people support?? This is a discussion forum not a yes man forum

Yeah, I don't understand it when managers do that. He's not crazy so he must have his reasons, but whatever.
