Chelsea v Newcastle United - Wed 22nd September -7:45pm - League Cup 3rd Rd

[JH]

Will be mostly reserve players:

 

                                           Krul

 

                        Raylor  Campbell  Kadar  Trav

 

                         Ranger  Smith  Vuckic   Jonas

 

                                Ameobi  Lovenkrands

 

If Krul plays and gets injured then we'll have Soderberg in goal against Stoke.

 

If Krul plays against Stoke and gets injured then we'll have Soderberg in goal against Man City - what's your point? We'll be able to sit there and say "Oh well, at least we lost him in a game that matters..."

[Taylor Swift]

But at least he'll have played a part in an important match...

This.

 

Krul has to play against Chelsea.

 

He needs to find some rhythm now as he'll be our number 1 for the near future (or for the next years)

[Newcastle Fan]

This won't be on TV right?

[biggs]

We leave the better players out and we'll get absolutely destroyed (and I'm talking 6/7) - getting knocked out is inevitable, but putting on a good performance and keeping things respectable is important for confidence and morale.

 

I don't think Enrique will die if he plays in the Carling Cup like.

Tbh Chelski will put a weakened team out too and its the cup owt can happen

My point is, we need to reduce our risks as we have far more important games than Chelsea in the League Cup.

[colinmk]

Tough one this.. this will more than likely field a weakened side so should we not just got for it?

 

-----------------Krul

 

Colo-----Sol-----------Willi------Jose

 

Rout-----Bart--------Tiote------Jonas

-----------------HBA

 

----------------Carroll

 

 

The rest of the lineups in this thread, we're looking at 4/5-0 defeats - how can that help things at all?

 

Would like to see that lineup.

As long as we rest Colo/Williamson, Enrique, Barton and Carroll, I'm okay.

 

(HBA and Tiote may need this game to increase their game time and fitness levels)

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

                    Krul

 

Tavernier  Campbell Williamson  Kadar

 

Raylor      Smith        Tiote        Jonas

 

                                  Ben Arfa

                Ameobi   

 

Subs- Soderberg, Ferguson, Routledge, Vuckic, Nolan, Ranger, Lovenkrands

 

Bring off Tiote + HBA around the 65 min mark

[NoU]

Krul

 

Raylor - Sol - Williamson - Kadar

 

Jonas - Guthrie - Tiote - Ben Arfa

 

Vuckic

Løvenkrands

 

Should do alright, and most importantly it will give valuable gametime to those who need it and rest to others.

[cubaricho]

We're totally fucked on this one.

Chelsea always play a strong team in the Carling Cup, they don't do a Man Utd/Arsenal.

Actually Ancelotti said he'll give the youngsters more chances this season, i'm expecting them to put on a mixed side as well.

                Krul

 

Perch - Sol - Colo - Kadar

 

Raylor - Smith - Vuckic - Jonas

 

            Loven - Best

 

I would play that team, if Chelsea play a weak team 2-1 us if they play a strong team 0-4

[Dinho lad]

er.. best is injured, mate.

[JH]

As if we're better than a weak Chelsea side

[Mick]

As if we're better than a weak Chelsea side

 

As if we'd score 6 past Villa, as if Blackpool would beat us at St James', as if we'd win away at Everton.  Anything can happen in football and if they play the team that played at St James' on Thursday then anything can happen in this game.

The saviour is back, he is going to be awesome this season. Perch looks like he is about to jump in, not like him that.

Ah, didn't know that

[Dave]

Loads of changes according to Hughton. Ben Arfa wants to play though.
