Fernando 6,585 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I would have loved David Luiz for DM in this one, but Conte said he won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,938 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm very surprised at the level of pessimism floating around this thread. I really don't think Liverpool are going to play like they have against us. I excpect our best performance from the season so far. That will need Hazard to pick his head up though because he was atrocious against Swansea. I really think we should play with Costa and Bats up top. It would give Liverpools defence soo many problems. Theor defence is as weak as ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The pessimism is only because of the nature of how things panned out yesterday. The performance was good barring one silly moment for their penalty and complete farce from the ref. I'm really confident ahead of the Liverpool game, home advantage and Costa alone will worry them, not only that but I actually think we are playing really well.

Pizy 18,906 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Wait, now people here are calling for Cesc to start? Liverpool are probably the last type of side you want to see Fabregas against. A side with loads of energy, athleticism, and who press relentlessly. Basically his cryptonite. Think we need Oscar in there again. Thought he was fine yesterday. Plenty of tackling, tracking back, and was also dangerous in the final third. We need as much steel against that lot as possible.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Not the match for Alonso. Mane is the one that scares me the most so rather keep Azpi against him. Probably keep the same lineup, Luiz for Terry if he's injured, or Cahill if Terry is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MefiX19 1,092 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm actually not worried that much about Liverpool, if we gonna create so many chances as we did in other games and ACTUALLY FUCKING FINISH THEM we will beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4 1,521 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Whenever i thing about Liverpool i remember our win 2-0 win in 2013/2014 we were so good in defence so maybe that's how i would like to have our line up set up and than kill them in counter attacks. -------------------Courtois------------------- Ivanovic------Cahill------Luiz----------Azpilicueta ------------------Kante------Oscar------------------------ Moses---------------Hazard------------------Willian -------------------------Costa------------------------------ Now your probably looking at this like "fuck 4-2-3-1" but tactically it could be really good now.I don't thing our defence is bad,Cahill has been really good so far and he can carry the ball just like Luiz so both are starting for me.Ivanovic has really improved since Conte came and with the help of Moses it's only gonna be easier for him in defence. Kante and Oscar are more than capable of protecting our back 4 but also help our attackers,Hazard is gonna cause chaos in the middle but he will also have to just a bit help Kante and Oscar. my only worry would be Willian to fuck up some of our counter attacks as he usually does but he will track back and help our defence so that's why he is starting. I'm not sure if Matic is any good in a pivot anymore so that's why he is not starting for me. FFS now i sound like Mourinho. Or 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 which is the line up we are probably gonna play and i don't have anything againts it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino's Skin 972 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 fancy us to score a couple from set pieces in this one i.e. corners, free kicks where our CB's can exploit their poor defending. Massive match for Kante plus 1 in the middle to protect our back line against their pace. If the defence can keep the low shots on target ratio going (7 in 4 games) then I think we will win by a couple of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,906 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I see the inbred Scouse mutants on RAWK are super confident that they'll come to the Bridge and spank us. Goddamn, I hope we embarrass them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Think Cesc could do a job on them, but I think we'll see Courtois Branna Aspi Cahill Luiz Kante Matic or Obi (probably Obi) Oscar Hazard Willian Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyeye 7,509 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Since Terry is out injured i would like to see this lineup: Tibo Ivan Cahill Luiz Azpi Kante Matic / Mikel Oscar Moses / Willian Hazard Costa or Tibo Azpi Cahill Luiz / Ivan Alonso Kante Matic / Mikel Fab Moses / Willian Hazard Costa What do you think?

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I adore JT, but honestly his injury might be a blessing in disguise. If there's just one side in the league where his lack of pace would sure be exploited it would be Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Cesc in midfield against Liverpool's dynamic pressing?! Ivan----Cahill----Luiz----Azpi ----------------Kante---------- Willian-----*Matic*-----Oscar----Hazard -----------------Costa------ *Not a fan of Matic in this match simply because he's not mobile/quick enough to deal with Liverpool's athleticism/pace in mudfield. But because i doubt Conte will drop him, Matic will be the key player if we are to have any chance of winning this match. 3 things Matic has to do extremely well for us to win this game, is to make many key tackles, positioning has to be spot on, and release the ball as fast as possible before liverpool's players swarm to press him. Pretty much revert back to Matic circa 2014. No big deal. Am also not looking forward to Firminho vs Ivan... Nope, not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think we need to try Oscar and Fab with Kante as our midfield three at some point, I just don't think this is the fixture for it with JT out. I'd like to see this: Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Azpilicueta Kante Fabregas - Matic Moses Hazard Costa We will almost assuredly see this: Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Azpilicueta Kante Matic - Oscar Willian Hazard Costa As always we win if Hazard decides he wants to show up. He is our focal point and I really like the idea of Milner having to deal with him all day. I want us to be direct which is why I think Moses is an excellent shout for this. He can give Clyne lots to think about and hopefully pin him back in a way that Willian can't. Mane is obviously a threat but I have a feeling Kante will be his kryptonite. I was hoping this wouldn't be Luiz's debut only because of all the attention that will be directed at him, there's a good chance Liverpool will target him and try to put pressure on him to play mistake free. Its gonna come down to who can be most clinical when the opportunities present themselves there will without question be goals in this. We need Hazard to be man of the match followed by Kante, if that happens we win for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
