Newcastle vs Chelsea

[5Essien5 33]

In my opinion Ancelotti should be looking at Anelka and Drogba to see which one looks fit enough to start alongside Kalou and Sturridge on Sunday! Imo our front three should be Kalou - Anelka - Sturridge (or it reversed)

Kalou is great Substitute but when he starts then he is sometimes annoying.

Kalou is great Substitute but when he starts then he is sometimes annoying.

Sometimes he can be frustrating but I wanna see how Sol Campbell handles the speed of Kalou and Sturridge.

Sturridge HAS to start this game. If Ancelotti has any back bone and is not scared to bench one of the egos, then he will play him.

Please don't play Zhirkov-Mikel-Ramires as midfield. Please.

Did Carlo say anything about Alex?

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I might just be me, but seen images of St James Park what with the snow... is there a strong chance this game could be called off?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

From today's training session up North.

And for humour sake..

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

With Milan, Ancelotti used to play 4-3-1-2, I wouldn't mind see him experiment with that now..

Cech

Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Alex - Cole

Ramires - Mikel - Malouda

Anelka

Sturridge - Drogba

Wouldn't be sure about Anelka being the man linking the midfield with attack, this role was played by Seeford at Milan. But it's still a good option, and would work better when Lampard comes back. But I can see it working, it doesn't offer much width, but then again, with Bosingwa and Cole in defence that problem solves itself.

You do know the 4-3-1-2 formation is just the 4-diamond-2 formation that failed miserably. We just don't have the right midfielders for the system. And it's a hard system to pull of in modern football.

Well kind of, but in this case the 2 midfielder players on the side of Mikel would not drift out wide. It would be defensive minded that 3 midfield line.

Slight hunch that this could be Newcastle P-P Chelsea due to the weather.

[Shane 2,275]

Newcastle are unbelievable when they play on Sundays! Think we'll draw though, 1-1, A.Cole and Carrol

Andy Carroll looks like a member of the IRA
