Chelsea (Carling Cup) - Pre-match thread

Don't know how accurate this team is, it'll probably change when i've seen the squad.

 

----------------------------- Given ------------------------------

 

Huntington --------- Taylor ---------- Ramage --------------- Duff

 

Dyer ---------------- Butt ----------- Emre ---------------- Milner

 

------------------- Martins ---------- Rossi ----------------------

 

Subs: Srnicek, Edgar, Luque, Parker, Sibierski

 

 

Seen the squad, and i'm sticking with that. Fantastic that Nobby has returned so quickly from injury... we can save him for Spurs now. I'd probably have him on the bench and start Huntington, just to protect Nobby.

 

Who will be on Spurs' left wing? Because he's going to have a field day, whoever it is, the amount of time Dire will be out of position.

Bridge,SWP and Ferreira all start tomorrow. Seems like Chelsea want to display there soon to be rejects to there best customer.

 

Can we do a "Buy it Now" or do we have to wait for the auction to end in 40 days?

 

you reckon that's the solution to an alternative to the transfer window? have an ebay style auction where managers can out their players on if they want to get rid of them? have a buy it now or 7 day auction.

 

buyer has to collect or £20 for P&P to send them through Royal Mail.

Lots of interesting decisions to make... Huntington at RB or CB? Solano RB or RW, Duff LW or LB? Emre fit? Dyer at CM or RW? Bring Parker back?...

How much will squad rotation come in, with Watford last Sat, and Spurs this Sat, will he say rest Butt, Emre, Sib?

Stinks of Souness does this.

 

He brings back Emre and Duff a game too early, and look - now they're doubts for arguably the biggest game of our season so far.

 

Hats off.

 

Not going to miss an opportunity to slate him are you?

Does anyone remember who set up the winner in an important league game against Watford? I'm really glad they did, that was an important extra two points and meant we didn't lose any of the momentum we'd been building up before the Chelsea game.

Hints in the Chron that if Nobby is fit he'll play left back, so we could see:

 

Given

 

Hunty - Taylor - Ramage - Solano

 

Dyer - Butt - Parker - Milner

 

Sib - Martins

 

 

If Nobby doesn't make it I suspect we'll go with 3 at the back & use Dyer and Milner as wing-backs.

If it's warranted, nope. But I don't slate him that much in fairness.

To be fair, thats not a bad starting eleven. Aye, one or two are out of position but, to be fair, our first choice full backs are shite anyway.

"Duff set up the winner against Watford."

 

I beg to differ. :?
