Closed Chelsea v Liverpool

[special Eden 78]

Willian is still in Dubai i see and Hazard posted a pic yesterday that was in a sunny place Could this mean that they don't start this game or that they just got a good long rest?

Few days away, back in the next day or so.

Reckon this might be the lineup...

Cech

Ivanovic--Cahill--Terry--Azpilicueta

Mikel

Fabregas---Matic

Willian----------------------------Hazard

Drogba

Nah, Zouma, Luis and Mikel have to start and probably Cuadrado as well. Remy if fit, too.

[Waterfall 893]

If all the key players except Ivanovic and JT are skipping this game:

Cech

Ivanovic-Zouma-JT-Luis

Mikel-RLC-Ake

Cuadrado-Remy-Brown

[Waterfall 893]

I keep seeing Solanke's name appear on people's wish lists. I really don't think Mourinho will do it, CF is one of those positions where its a big responsibility for players especially when we play with the one up top. I think if Drogba/Remy aren't fit then Mourinho will go for a false number 9 instead of using Solanke.. He may play RLC, but that's because he's surrounded by players like Matic and Fabregas.

Yeah no point starting Solanke if we are fielding a weakened team that will give him very little service. These games are supposed to give youngsters chance to play and hopefully confidence.

I want RLC to start next to Matic and Fabregas. Let's see if he has something up his sleeve.

Indeed. RLC and Aké are more likely to feature, since their positions keep them surrounded by senior and experienced players.

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Doubt very much that youngsters will get an airing, unless we're 2 up with 75-80 mins passed

[Laylabelle 9,534]

No need to park the bus for this one,with the pressure off needing points to win the title wise hopefully a good game and a good result.The guard of honour will be fun good timing really.

I and someone else out there who feels the samr want us to not take these remaining 3 games truly lightly, so let's try to experiment in the most possible logical cases. I really want Liverpool to suffer thinking of the 'one that got away' last season because of us, while giving us the guard. West Brom fans are lousy. We haven't won there since either '10 or '11. Oh, Sunderland are the ones that need to be humiliated like Ramsay with Reek. Who can forget about them last season. How about Cech at GK for Liverpool & West Brom and Courtois in the final game. Azpi at RB, Ivanovic-Zouma/Terry/Cahill at CB, Filipe at LB with Aké being second choice. Matic taking a well-deserved break and only becoming a sub, Cesc staying put for the assists' sake, RLC & Mikel as the DMs, Cuadrado and Hazard as wingers and Rémy or Drog. The point with these ideas is that I have a feeling we don't really need to keep buying new players. It's been showm that these players are more attuned attuned to the collective duties of a squad more than self-brilliance. They follow Mou's instructions with a collective mind. Let's give it a chance.

Is it wrong to say that I'm looking forward more to the guard of honour than the match?
