Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This is the reason why i'm confident. Chelsea have some quality attackers but defensively most of their players are not suited to playing an open and expansive game. Terry, Lampard, Mikel, Cole and Ivanovic don't like pressing and going back the other way or playing a high line they are not used to it.... They much prefer playing deep and countering, teams will exploit this. Whether we do or not i don't know but i'm certain over the season that team's will exploit their defensive deficiencies. Hazard and Mata will be dangerous though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Tiote Jonas Cabaye Ben Arfa Cisse Ba Anita in for Tiote (or Jonas if he's fit enough). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think we can take it Chelsea this weekend, so I'm going 2-1 to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Anyone heard anything re Colo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hopefully be a 451/433 for this. Would imagine it'll be a full scale change from tonight, the only moot points being Cisse/Anita IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We're going to see a Ben Arfa special on Saturday. Definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 no idea about this, on the one hand going forward chelsea have been impressive but on the other they looked vulnerable against with all due respect, expected relegation battlers and our forward line is a bit better than theres Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 No reason to dread it, they have played Wigan and a spirited looking reading. In neither game did they look great . Sadly our top players don't look quite ready yet. Will probably be a loss but never 4-1. A point would be a great result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 1-1 or 2-1 to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Their defending has looked shaky as fuck in both games so far; in particular they've had a habit of getting caught 3 vs 2 at the back which could be very interesting with our forwards running at them.

The Prophet Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Can see us going down to an late, undeserved, spawny goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Pretty sure we'll go 4-4-2 like we did last time there. Jonas left, Ben Arfa right. Would however like to see the XI that JH posted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 3-2 to them I think. Going down to this, cannot wait. Would take a point right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Mag Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hazard is on the right isnt he? Im confident that Jonas and Santon will sort him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hazard is on the right isnt he? Im confident that Jonas and Santon will sort him out. I think they switch postitions throughout the game, so Simpson will get his chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We'll definitely score, they've looked poor at the back so far. Think we could do them on the break a la West Brom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Oh man, I think Santon and Jonas need to swap sides with him I can picture Santon lurking across the field in the shadows. Hazard will never get away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Speaking of Hazard if we do plan to play 3 in midfield i'd like to see Anita play, purely because he's a very good man marker 1 v 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
