Nothing special to say, just want us to keep the same form and let more young players to play. We should keep playing great football and continue to win, only 2 games left! Jose gave RLC chance, against WBA I expect him to give a chance to another player, someone like Solanke or Brown. It's a great chance for some players to prove themselves. I don't want to see us losing points, we have to win this and keep our unbeaten record.

 

This is the starting line that I want to see:

 

Cech

 

Azpi

Terry

Cahill

Ake

 

Loftus-Cheek

Matic

 

Cuadrado

Fabregas

Hazard

 

Solanke

 

 

 

--------Tibo----

Azpi---Cahill--Terry---Luis

------RLC---Matic----

Cuadrado-----Cesc-------Hazard

-----------Remy-------

Can see the above being the team although probably Mikel will play again in place of Matic.

I'm not sure if Cech will play, I thought yesterday he'd have been a cert but wasn't even in the squad so I'd imagine his head is elsewhere with having to choose a destination next season.

Would also love to see Ake and Solanke come off the bench at some point for some game time.

              Cech

 

 Dave - Cahill - JT - Luis

 

            RLC - Ake

 

Willian - Fabregas - Hazard

 

               Remy

 

 

 

Bring Solanke on around the hour mark to give him some minutes. 

 

Bring Cuadrado on for the last 10 minutes so we can all see him fall over after failing to beat his man a few times. 

Another game that I'm totally relaxed for hope we win as I want us to get to 90 points but I don't think I'll lose any sleep if we don't win

A rest for Hazard perhaps. Another start for RLC, alongside Matic would be good. I'd like to see Brown get some time too.

Is it just me or does anyone else get reminded of Ja Ja Binks by the somewhat hapless Cuadrado?

               Cech

 

Ivanovic  Zouma  Terry  Luis

 

           Matic  RLC

 

Cuadrado  Willian  Hazard

 

               Remy

 

Brown, Solanke and Ake on the bench and if Zouma isn't fit then bring in Cahill.

The trouble with resting Hazard is we don't have a like for like replacement at left wing.

We could maybe put Willian on the left and use Cuadrado on the right but I'm not too sure.

Another reason the Schurrle sale was a bit mysterious as he'd cover that role with no problems.

More youth please :)

A starting XI made up of Shed Enders would be good.

Jose's more or less confirmed that RLC, Ake and Izzy will play - “He [Ruben] will play and probably Nathan Ake, who deserves to play. Izzy Brown came from West Brom so it will be special for him to play at his house, they all deserve it.”

 

A starting XI made up of Shed Enders would be good.

 

I'll be the assistant manager, sitting next to Jose thanks.

Not sure exactly where Jose will start brown and Ake.

Cech

Brana

Zouma/Christiensen

Terry

Luis

Ramires

Ake

Cuadrado

RLC

Brown

Remy

Maybe something like that or Mikel starting for Cuadrado and swapping places with Ramires.

Izzy will probably play a few minutes at the end, highly doubt he will start.

I hope we play more kids. What's the point in playing players like Hazard when they're just going to play passively like they're up the park. Who cares about the result, they don't give you a special trophy for reaching 90 points.

I'd have a bigger impact than Cuadrado I reckon! :-D

Thats usually my position too, well it was back when I actually would play lol

Thank god you didn't call me 'woodhogan lol

I've always been best suited to left back.... left back in the changing room.

Hogan,

Of course I knew that was your position, I am a mind-reader.

I'll let FC drift forward, I'll do the donkey work!

I think we have a few goalkeepers on the forum don't we? Fairly sure Loz and Barak were both goalies.

 

Interesting choices there, an Azpilicueta-esque right-footed and conservative left-back. My one-footedness and laziness team spirit means I'd be a bit useless in the opposition half so I'll stay back, which will allow for Gem to drift forward and remain open for the out ball. I usually play defensive mid or right back (centre back in emergencies) but I will happily carry out the manager's instructions. Good to see we've got Englishman there to maintain the homegrown quota. Liam will help with that too, we'll have to make sure there are no good-looking women in the first four rows or his concentration will be shot.

 

Oh and we should have a managerial dream team of g3.7 and Pauly, they would spend the entire game arguing between themselves about whether or not playing a three-man defence is a good idea and inevitably about why the Italian national team is deplorable/divine. Eventually they'd come up with an immensely intricate and complicated tactical plan which we'd all be too sh*t/drunk to carry out.

I know Loz is the manager, but I'm sure Jose will not want to cede complete control to him so will be lurking near the dugout.  In which case, do you really think it wise to have me AND Val in close proximity?  I think Val should be on the pitch so that I can have free reign. as she is such a fantastic player.

I think our best bet there is to have you and Val 'marking' José zonally, each of you getting a turn to track him when he comes into your area of the pitch.
