The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Setting aside the fact we didn't need a squad filler, you're ignoring the issue I've raised a number of times which is the board's lack of ambition/complete fucking ineptitude in signing Stones in the first place. The fact that we actually resorted to buying Papy is the issue. But that's me speculating of course.I can't lie - the board did massively mess up on Stones, I agree, and I'm definitely not defending that. I didn't make much sense of the Papy signing initially either but it made some sense as a low budget squad filling signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Courtois Azpi Cahill Zouma Baba/Kenedy Mikel Cesc MaticWillian Hazard Remy/CostaFeel like this would be our most balanced and best lineup for this season.Our strongest wing (defensively (Azpi, Willian)) with our weakest central players (defensively ( Cahill, Cesc)).On the other side our weakest wing (defensively (Baba/Kenedy, Hazard)) with our strongest central players ( defensively (Zouma, Matic)).- Natural attacking fullbacks- Less reliance on Fabregas for defensive solidity- 3 man midfield so more cover, more freedom for our front 3- More freedom for Matic to press and harass as he'd have Mikel behind him protecting the back four.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Spoke to my Utd friend who is going to this match (he's actually from Manchester). I told him that it was too bad the gates weren't time machines to take him back 8 years where it would be a good match. This year's fixture feels a bit sad.

Adnane 1,101 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We need Mikel. Not just for this game, but as a constant starter. I feel a lot safer with him than I do with Matic.I was thinking about:CourtoisIvanovic-Cahill-Terry-AzpilicuetaMikel-RamboPedro-Willian-HazardRemyGot ripped to pieces against Liverpool, because that midfield is too defensive.

Explaining what the Marseilles owner done when he felt the team were under performing. He spoke to the firm and got the main faces to get onto the team coach and give the players dogs abuse.

Last Sicarius 610 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Courtois Azpi Cahill Zouma Baba/Kenedy Mikel Cesc Matic Willian Hazard Remy/Costa Feel like this would be our most balanced and best lineup for this season. wowowowo. Did you just say that Cesc and Matic are balanced line? Matić is playing like shit, Fabs dont even better. I would rather play Ramires-Mikel or(sick!) Fabregas-Mikel. Matić has hot head in this season. tbh what Mikel did in last match impress me, so deserve to play instead of Matić.PS: Costa is banned for this match. So Falcao/Remy.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 read on Chelseafc_ES that Fabregas didn't travel because he had a fever, Remy is injured and Falcao still isn't fully fit.
