No Willian. Surprised.

 

What formation do you think that is ? is it a 4-3-3 or is it a 4-2-3-1 with Oscar on the wing ?

On reflection zouma playing can mean matic and fab can boss the midfield ?

Zouma's there to stop Fellaini, all you have to do is look at his recent performances and you'll see he needs special attention

 

Yep, means Fellaini can't do his man marking job on Fabregas like he did at Old Trafford as he's playing further forward.

 

Could be a good call from Jose.

Could have an ultra defencive back side to allow more freedom to Hazard to attack, I'm hoping. Jose may be willing to gamble that in an end to end match, his defence will prevail

This place is not gonna be fun during the match I can see, you can cut the tension with a knife lol

Oh I'm sorry, has the game started already?

 

Let's wait until kick off before we make any accusations.

I hope Mata's Beard et al are still with us after the match (thread).

Can people kindly f**k off with saying we are going for a 0-0. We are not.

Maybe not going for a nil nil, but it is the sort of lineup you would expect if you were gonna be happy with the draw. We really struggled to create anything last week, and we have an even less creative team out there against better side. On paper it looks like we could struggle to keep possesion and score goals, however football is a funny game and we could end up battering them.

Looks about the best lineup we could've played with Costa and Remy out. Zouma in to match Fellaini's presence makes sense.

 

I'm expecting this to be high scoring. 

Sorry! Double post. Nerves!

Question is what the hell did Remy do? Jose made it sound like it was precautionary that he didn't play last week.

I suspect we'll be seeing a few people congratulating Arsenal on winning the league if we go a goal down

To be fair, setting up for the 0-0 might be the best strategy to winning. They need 3 points more than us and their back end isn't the greatest. Draw out their players and our counters might be more likely to get a goal than if we played a possession based game that results in few clear chances.

With Carrick and Blind out think we could've played a more attacking formation in the first half. Nonetheless this makes me more confident that we won't lose.

Probably lol

Oscar to score first, Chelsea win.

Chances of it being 3 across the back?

Ivan and Dave more as wing backs with the man midfield of Matic, Cesc and Oscar?

Hazard in a free role behind Drogba?

Or more likely Oscar playing wide right? Can only assume Willian has a knock if so?

No Remy, his injury record this season has been poor considering how little he has played.

Lol

McNair must be bricking going up against the Drog.

Agree with this really surprised as could of been his big chance

We are playing an injury hit Man United at home who are playing Rooney as CDM yet we play Zouma in FFS. Jose playing for 0-0

Its obvious joses main priority is not to lose this game hence the line up....time to go and pebble dash the toilet....

My stomach churning is evolving into inner hysteria and so to the pub it is. Play nicely everyone and come on you BLUES!

Zouma to man mark Feliani to take away the long ball outlet for United?

We have to put Zouma in there to mark that donkey Fellaini. That's pretty much his sole responsibility throughout the game.

I'm quite relaxed for this game, not like me at all haha. Think we will play for a draw. Long term gain for short term pain fellow blues.... IF we win the title then the fact a defender started in midfield for us will mean feck all
