Basically mix it up from the current drudge. Bring on Fabregas and Falcao when the other team starts to get leggy

The only thing I do know is what the heat map will look like if Jose plays Ivan again ;-)

Edited August 30, 201510 yr by embattle

hazard (no10

kenedy (rw)

I think we should carry on trying to challenge for the league so a strong line up would be good. However I think Europe should be our priority this year particularly if our poor league form continues

The last year it has been the same starters week in week out, even if they lose form. Players should be rewarded with minutes for playing well and droppes when not. If we think about who has featured this season and who has played badly and who has played well.

Been in bad form

Ivanovic

Terry

Fabregas

Hazard

Willian

Costa

So so

Dave

Cahill

Zouma

Matic

Been good

Pedro

Falcao

Loftus cheek

Kenedy

I think for the next game we should mix it up a bit and hand out some opportunities to some younger players, best case scenario, they prove themselves and we end up with more competition for places in the first 11, worst case scenario we lose which is what i would expect to happen if we start with the same 11 as this week. My squad for this game would be.

----------------Courtois

Dave------zouma----cahill-----rahman

------------Matic----mikel

Pedro-------loftus cheek-------kenedy

------------------Falcao

I actually cant beieve im hoping to see mikel on the team sheet, but i think he is what we need along side matic at the moment.

Make this happen jose, show the team you can't have a poor run of form and still start every game

Everton away is always difficult. I really hope we don't lose again.

 

I'd go:

 

 

Courtois

 

Baba

Terry

Cahill

Azpilicueta

 

Matic

Zouma

 

Pedro

Oscar

Hazard

 

Falcao

 

 

 

If Oscar isn't fit, bring in Kenedy and put Hazard in the middle

9 goals conceded in 4 games! Fabregas and Matic needs to be dropped for Mikel and RLC. Baba for Ivanovic. We aren't Arsenal, we need to stop conceding all this goals!!! If Jose persist with Fabregas-Matic, it means he can be very stubborn and rigid at times and we are in for a long season

We have become another Arsenal in front of goal though, the way we pass it around the edge of the penalty area, trying to walk it in to the net, without taking a shot, that's exactly what Arsenal do. We had players who were positive and tried to score goals from outside of the area, but Jose sold them because they wouldn't track back as well as Willian/Ramires. Schurlle went off form and was sold very quickly, which was a harsh and rather eratic decision, now we're stuck with Willian who offers less than Kalou going forward.

I would like to see us play a 442 with

tibs

dave jt zouma baba

hazard matic rlc pedro

costa falcao....

although has long has ivan is nowhere the team then id be happy....very happy

Anyone's guess what's the team will be. Since JT is available, Ivanoic will be dropped ( finally). Hopefully Oscar will be back for this one, no chance Jose will drop both Matic/Cesc. Willian is another one should be in the firing line, just consistently  ordinary this season. usually I hate the international break, but this year it comes at the right time for us. Hopefully those on International break will find some form, and others would do some serious training drills. I back us to turn it around at Goodison in about 2 weeks time. Everton hasn't got any better since last season, Martinez will give us a motivational speech pre game by attacking us over the Stone Saga once more, and if we lose this one, someone at the top is in the firing line.

This thread will go into meltdown when Jose sticks with Bran.

And the big shake up is to bring Rambo back, next to Matic ...

U heard it first here, lol.

With this kind of attitude on the pitch expectations are far from being positive.

Certainly so. The usual first team players will line up against Everton and with no incoming quality transfers, I expect a 3-1 beating by Everton. Further poor results against Maccabi and Arsenal with the untouchables playing and Mournho will be looking for a new job. That is the price of stubbornness, blind loyalty to declining players and a really poor transfer window.

Kenedy was our best player when he came on in that pathetic showing of a game against Palace, I think he more than deserves a shot in this game. I don't want to see Hazard dropped, because he can still provide us with a lot even when he plays sh*te. I'd go with

Dave - Zouma - Terry - Baba

 

          RLC - Matic

 

Pedro    - Hazard -     Kenedy

              

             Costa/Falcao

 

I'd like to see the two young guys get a start and the chance to show what they can do from the start. If it doesn't work out then we can bring on Fabregas and Oscar to replace them. 
 

If we dont win this by 5 clear goals and win at least 2 trophies i am going to sulk and buy a season ticket to watch Spuds,so there.

Season ticket for spurs thinks ain't that bad yet

And they never will be.

Thoughts? I think it's the best

Why are wingers in central midfield and a striker on the right wing?

                           Falco

no team has a god given right to be successful

 

this weekends other surprise results show that due to the increased money all teams are tooled up with top managers and players

 

Chelsea are the team to beat and the sharks smell blood

 

Early KO, after the international break, away - we know what to expect, but anything could happen

 

Will be very surprised if Ivan starts this match, don't think Jose is that stubborn or wanting to be sacked just yet

Why are wingers in central midfield and a striker on the right wing?

If you are talking about Rémy, he can also play as a winger

I hate international break but seems to have come at the right time, I fully expect us to be back with a bang, come on the Chels.

If you are talking about Rémy, he can also play as a winger

But why would you play him wide right over Pedro who you've put in central midfield?
