cubaricho Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 While Chelsea look weakened at the back it's their midfield that worries me. Tiote and Cabaye will be up against Mikel, Ramires and Lampard and could easily become isolated, Mata will also drift inside and cause problems. That's before you consider the threat he and Sturridge will pose from out wide. Don't think we'll be going 4-4-2. I think it'll be Ba up front on his own, even at home.

The Prophet Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 They're trying to mould him into a defensive midfielder, it's not his natural position. The point I was tying to make is we may get outnumbered in the middle, especially if Mata starts roaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mata is lethal and just the type I could see scoring against us. Ben Arfa will be key as an outlet for the midfield and pressuring Chelsea when we lose the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 While Chelsea look weakened at the back it's their midfield that worries me.

He looked pretty isolated away at Man United. I'd figure Ben Arfa again playing in the hole and Guthrie replacing Jonas if Tiote is available. Otherwise, Sammy starts?

Fenham Mag Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 We can definitely win this. Chelsea's poor form will continue, playing that crap with those players just doesn't change in 3 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Prices for us have dropped already after Chelsea's match tonight. Us or draw and us +1 is down to 8/11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have a funny feeling we'll see Guthrie on the right and Obertan on the left of a 4-5-1. Ba, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, and Tiote through the middle of the park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 AVB pretty much confirming they'll revert to 4-3-3 and drop Torres http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15953404.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Tbf to Roy the Irish Magpie (BAM! as Andy says) - if you look at his previous posts he got the Everton and Man Utd results right. He did predict 3 scorelines for each but I suppose if he'd put them on at the bookies he'd have made a profit. Can't just quote the predictions because they're from locked threads.

Oakie Doke Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I really wish I was going to this. Went to the stadium yesterday and the game's completely sold-out, lliterally not even one seat available. Make the most of it those who are going.

Yeah, I booked my seat about 10 days ago and even then there were only single seats that I could see. Let's hope we pay respects to Speedo in full voice before kick-off, then during the game cheer the lads on to a performance to make him proud.

Yorkie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Gutted as i am about not going, it's brilliant to see the game sell out in the rapid time that it did. Doesn't happen very often at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
