colinmk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Tactics will be 7-2-1, hoof towards John Terry or give ball to Ben Arfa and everyone else leave him to it while retaining defensive shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Surely Pardew is gonna play Mbiwa in the middle of the park with Anita and Sissoko. Sammy left, Hatem right, Shola up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 To be honest I didn't post it to highlight the mistake, I forgot about the Spurs game myself. Was more the fact that several key players are continuing to be missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm going to go along with Pardew's suggested scoreline, 2-0 or 3-0 defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The injuries we have, combined with Pardew's tragic team selection, mixed in with playing away at one of the toughest teams in the league, will lead to one of the most desperately pathetic starting lineups of all time.

alexf Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So Mourinho has a unbeaten record at home with Chelsea since his first spell back in 2004 and some people believe we could go there and win with this sorry excuse of a squad? I mean even if we were full strength I'd still think you were a little crazy if you thought we could win but with Cabaye gone, the injuries, suspensions and all round misery surrounding the club at the moment I just cannot believe anyone would genuinely believe we can go there and win.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Problem is a couple of the players who would help us grind out a result are also missing, not just Cabaye and Remy who could win it for us. Can't see anything but a mauling unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's noble of you TRon, but I'd like to go ahead and blame him anyway. Marveaux would be more ready to contribute if he had been kept involved to some degree. Ben Arfa could be be more of a threat and x factor, giving us some chance, if he had been managed better this season, and just allowed to play. I'd have felt a lot better about our chances defensively if Mapou had been left to build on the good partnership he had going with Williamson, instead of being shunted out to accommodate of all people on this earth, Steven Taylor. Still not happy about anything Pardew I'm afraid. I can hear his sorry excuses post thumping already. Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Mapou thing really is terrible like, he's infinitely better than Steven Taylor. He must be seriously regretting moving here, it's done nothing for his career and if anything it's put him a year or two backwards in his development.

Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 And I endorse that 100% long term. We just needed someone to come in with size, presence and the aptitude and experience to fit right into a PL defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 without Tiote breaking things up in midfield and doing something to put a stop to Hazard and co this could get very ugly. Can easily see our midfield being overwhelmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 without Tiote breaking things up in midfield and doing something to put a stop to Hazard and co this could get very ugly. Can easily see our midfield being overwhelmed. We just have to hope we don't let an early goal in. If that happens I can see players hiding all over the place. Seem to be missing leaders all over the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
