Matic and Mikel....Fab further forward.  I don't like that.  Ivan at RB again and Cahill and Terry both back in the starting line up immediately.  Jeez.  Not ideal, but f-it.  Let's do 'em 

Hiddink, some of your decisions are f**king ridiculous. Just been on Chelsea website chat, and he is getting some f**king abuse on there

It makes sense playing Fabregas further forward as Spurs like to play a high pressing game, if he plays between their midfield & defense than he may be able to cause them all sorts of problems.

So close to the end of the season finally, can't wait to get rid of this sh*tty formation with the same sh*tty players. Hazard played his best game of the season last week so naturally the right thing to do is to drop him...

I get the strong feeling that there's an unknown reason he's been dropped that we can only speculate about. Could be a minor physical problem, poor attitude in training, or some other private matter. I'm sure Guus wouldn't have dropped him just because.

Mikel and Matic partnered together? Eurgh!

Fabregas in the #10 role? Eurgh!

Ivan at right back and Dave at right back? Eurgh!

Hiddink was just blowing smoke out of his arse when he spoke about giving youth a chance until the end of the season.

also Gus is giving more respect to spuds - he knows the spuds are very diverse in their attack & is hoping that the Mikel - Matic partnership can slow down/break the attacks or shield the defense - Cesc is not known for his defensive prowess

No Hazard makes sense, could get tasty and last thing he needs atm is to pick up another injury.

 

I think it makes more sense because Pedro is far more likely to track Walker and put a proper shift in.

With that line up I am really hoping that we have set up.

         Begovic
Ivan- Cahill - Terry- Azpi
              Mikel
          Fab - Matic

    Willian        Pedro
             Costa

As we have seen Mikel next to Matic doesn't work.

I think it makes more sense because Pedro is far more likely to track Walker and put a proper shift in.

Hazard is far more ikely to give Walker a skinning and create openings down that flank.  Hazard should be starting, period

 I can't help but feel that our defensive set up is going to get us into trouble. I'm sure with Ivanovic back at RB they will be looking to take advantage of that. I can see them running through that midfield too.

Hazard for Mikel.  Kenedy for Pedro.  Oscar for Fabregas/Matic.

 

Thats the 3 subs i predict.  Knowing Guus I'd even bet on Traore for Costa if losing
