Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd go with. Begovic Azpilicueta Cahill Zouma Baba Rahman Matic RLC Ramires Kenedy Pedro Remy -Bring on Traore for Pedro at half time if all goes to plan. Also give Aina a shot at right back for 20 odd minutes if we are in the clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Begovic Aina Cahill Ivanovic Kenedy RLC Mikel Musonda Oscar Hazard Costa Nicely balanced team, imo. 3 Academy boys, Costa gets to keep playing himself into form. And since Obi is in there we will surely win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It increases the chances of winning. Sad for Begovic in a way but he's played so much football already, more than you'd expect him to play. I'd rather give him some more games in the league.

coolhead23 1,147 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Why not give Bamford a run instead of Costa/Remy specially when Remy might leave ... Better to try him now when the mood is also a little upbeat, can hope for some positive outcome ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hardly match fit though, has barely played anything for Palace - Plus if he's also going back out on loan then the same point applies that you made. I'd like to see Bamford, Musonda, RLC, Aina etc. But let's be perfectly honest here, if we lose there'll be outcry! The least fans are now expect is FA Cup since we're no longer in any other trophy race (CL too). So Hiddink can't really afford to fuck this one up. At most I think we'll see RLC coming off the bench with Aina and Musonda named on it. Ramires, Remy, Baba & Cahill will probably feature seeing as they're on the fringes of the first team at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramires, Remy, Baba & Cahill will probably feature seeing as they're on the fringes of the first team at the moment I m not disagreeing with you ... make complete sense in the way we handle our youth and the current situation. But then even RLC is not match fit either ... And with the match fit logic or He is not ready logic, we would be behind when it comes to trying something new or rather are already behind... As far as an outcry goes, guess we already had quite a few this season and another one is not going to make us more sad than what we already are. However my opinion was based on the fact that we play at the Bridge against a team 2 division below (I guess) and we are already short on strikers (Remy is mostly not there when needed and Falcao .... ) ... always a nice idea to try a hungry player who actually forced himself out due to less opportunity. Also I know that we will play pretty much the same team with Ramiers/Matic/Cahill coming in ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizacar 93 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I honestly have no idea why remy and falcao are in the squad.. remy is never healthy when neeeded hence hazard in the false 9, and Falcao hasnt been in form for at least 4 years. We should get rid off them both and keep bamford and also buy another striker. If diego costa goes down we might has well brace ourselves for a relegation battle.

Wizacar 93 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 With zidane becoming the new Real coach we should be bracing ourselves for a summer of real tapping him up. We already know how much Zidane loves Hazard and money isnt an issue for real. 100 million and they can have him.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A defense that has never played with one and other (Zouma and Baba aside) and 4/6 mids and strikers being kids. I hope a couple youngsters play but that's overkill, take Pedro out and replace him with another youngster and that line-up would be eligible for an U21 match. This is our best chance of a trophy and I will be annoyed if we blow it, a lot more annoyed than ill be if the latest teen pet project gets cruelly robbed of twenty minutes at the end. remove aina and put in azpi, and this is our proper B team. if our B team, cant win against a league one team at the bridge then, damn, we are in massive massive shit. each of kenedy, RLC, traore, baba, musonda are good enough to play in PL or atleast championship, ramires, pedro, zouma, bego are really good players. i have not seen much of papy/aina to comment much. this might be our best chance to win a trophy but its also the only realistic tournament and infact realistic game where these kids can play at all.

I think you're right. Personally I'd go with Begovic Azpi/Ivanovic Zouma Cahill Baba Ramires Matic Loftus-Cheek Kenedy Remy/Costa Hazard/Pedro I think that when you're introducing youngsters to first team football you need a stable framework to support them so you're talking about one inexperienced lad in defence, midfield and attack. It's a blunt way to describe it but I think it's important that they can look up and see someone they instinctively trust. You also have to give the older lads like Ramires, Cahill, Matic, Baba and even Hazard who didn't play against Palace the chance to play themselves back into form and maintain their fitness. It's still an important game to win and any team in the football league is savvy enough to identify areas of weakness. Christensen is a good young player but he was targetted by Bradford last season and it caused us problems so you need that framework in place to develop them. By all means have players like Traore and Musonda on the bench so they can get minutes if we're comfortable but I'd also have players like Willian there to bring on if we're chasing it. It's a delicate balancing act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
