Chelsea Vs Southampton (PL) Sat Dec 16th 2017 15:00 UK

The last formation with no striker worked really well but Southampton are a much better side.

I think we need Morata at the top for this one. 

Tibo

 

Dave

Christensen 

Cahill

 

Moses

Kante

Baka

Pedro

 

Willian

Batman

Hazard

 

For Pete's sake conte give Batman a game. Morata and cesc need more rest, Alonso needs a break.

Southampton aren't at their best, struggling to defence well. Leicester pretty enjoyed playing against them. I think we've to play with a striker this game, Morata had a rest last game, bring him back to see him scoring, we need him fully confident. 

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

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

-- Azpilicueta - Christensen - Cahill --

Moses -- Kante - Bakayoko -- Marcos Alonso

Willian --------- Morata ------------ Hazard 

 

I like Rudiger, but Cahill hasn't done something wrong to be dropped yet, Willian deserves to keep his spot. 

Let's hope our boys will do the job, important points for us, COME ON CHELS!!!

I really think we need to overtake Utd. They are clearly not flying. I think this should be our goal for the rest of the season. Finish second, beat Barcelona and a cup final. That is a good season.

Soton was crap last game at least for the result. I really hope to see Willy at his tricks and Haz at his best. Such enjoyment watching them dismantle defenses like they did at Huddersfield.

The Saints have not done well away from home, yet Charlie Austin is back and scoring regularly, Tadic is always capable of a trick or two and noticed last weekend Chelsea old boy Romeu certainly has a good shot given space and time. 

We should win comfortably yet once again complacency could cost us if we don't work hard and smartly.

Give Morata a rest. He done great so far. Long time I seen Willian work as hard as last game. You think he is ready to play another 90 mins? I for sure hope so. It is a great joy to see Hazard and Willian together.

Southampton looked very poor defensively against Leicester the other night. Surprised at this,as any time I have seen them recently on live games admittedly they have looked half decent.

Southampton seem to fancy their chances, when they come to the Bridge, so I think there will be more space to manoeuvre in midfield and attack. Van Dijk is the weak link in their defence because he's been playing like he wants to be somewhere else. If Morata is fit, I'd start him as I think he'll enjoy himself.

Not  saying this will be an easy game, but Southhampton is one of the few who wants to play, so we aren't going to face 2 buses parked in front of their goal. I'd risk a midfielder by playing 343, Willian is in too good of form to be dropped, either Morata starts or the false 9 system, either way we should do well against their weak defence

Can't remember if we usually do well or not against them. All I can remember is James Beattie scoring from about 35 yards after 20 seconds.

We've got day more to prepare and that was our excuse every time so far we screwed things up, so I guess that makes it must win for Antonio if he doesn't want to look like a hypocrite.
