ILoveLamp 270 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Same as MU please. I am not really sold on Pedro but he seems to have better output than Willian in the final 3rd. Any win here would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could try Willian out on the left cut in with his right more ,move Hazard to n10/free role . Just the league and FA cup on the diary now don't fcuk it up .

akgw13 867 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Same as ManU for me, Pedro makes smart runs and seems to play well with Hazard/Costa. Bring Willian on in the 2nd half if we need him. Southampton is very tricky but I am expecting a hard fought victory. Conte will be back in the godfather suit, no more sweatshirt for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Southampton have the best defense in the PL, think this ends 0-0. Just want the same XI that started vs MU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want the same XI that started vs MU Claude Puel totally outsmarted Pep last week, knew exactly when to press City and when to sit back, so if anyone finds an answer to this 3-4-3 it will probably be him so it's up to Antonio to find the tweak that will catch the Frenchman of guard.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Tough tough match for us, but maybe we can nick small win like 1:0 or 2:1 if we play like against united and luck on our side. But yeah, smells like a draw or if we are not carefull they can do us on counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,069 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Would revert back to the XI that played against Utd. We need to keep out winning run going and possibly end the weekend top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This is an excellent test and not an easy match to get all three points. Starting some of the normal subs Wednesday was fine. We can see what we do and do not have. Need to come with the lineup as vs United (as most everyone has already mentioned). No Oscar or Ivanovic please. JT probably done(hate to say it but he struggled vs WHU in this system). I think the lads can do it Sunday. Come on you Chelsea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,182 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Same as United. Tough game this, and like I said regarding the WHU game I was annoyed we lost, not just because we got knocked out but the momentum was with us. We need to start quick and take the game to them, this will be a very big 3 points if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyBlue96 990 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Same XI as against United. Diego as striker, Pedro and Hazard as CAM's, Matic and N'Golo midfield, Alonso and Moses as wingbacks, Cahill Luiz and Dave as CB's. Tibo in goal. Southampton is a very difficult opponent. They had great managers in Poch, Koeman and now this Puel guy who had Guardiola exposed almost from the start of Citeh-Soton. Forster is a great GK and their defence, mainly Van Dijk who does fuckall in the Dutch national squad (can't blame him when you're standing next to Bruma) but who has been nothing more than pure class for Southampton. I hope he continues like this, not against us for one time now, and hope to see him in a blue shirt soon enough as I think he would be a better option than what Conte is after (Romagnoli for example) Oh and José Fonte who Mourinho wanted at ManUtd. He and Van Dijk are a great partnership. I'd say 1-2 for the Chels but that is only if we have Diego and Hazard in their best form. Pedro in the form he was last Sunday for the first half, Matic being Matic how we know him and our back three being solid again. Oh and Tibo like he was Sunday. These are the matches you need to win. You can lose at Old Trafford, Emptihad, Emirates and Anfield but you simply need to get these 3 points to stay on track with the other top teams. Buzzing.
