Guys who are out

John Obi Mikel & Victor Moses (Nations cup), Eden Hazard (Suspension) & David Luiz (Injury)


Think the team is picking itself in the attacking role, if Rafa is true to the way he has been going about his business then it will be Demba Ba supported by Juan Mata, Oscar and Ryan 'Im not really a left winger' Bertrand, would seriously prefer Florent Malouda to Bertrand, at least the intent is there to be an attacker first. Although it would not surprise me if Yossi Benayoun gets the nod as Rafa believes that only stuff said while laying or managing Chelsea that slags off Chelsea counts


Frank Lampard and Ramires will certainly be the central two in midfield and the only problems are in defence

Petr Cech is back to take his place in goal (thank god) and hopefully John Terry finally comes back in to sort the defence out. Cesar Azpilicueta, like Victor Moses has been a great signing and both look to be great value deals. Hopefully he starts at right back and Cole at left back with Gary Cahill lining up alongside JT



My team however would be more like this


Petr Cech

Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Lampard

Oscar - Mata - Marin

Ba
 
I'm am a bit unsure about leaving out Branna! Azpil v Branna---a difficult choice! Otherwise thats the team to go with!

Brana for Aza and that looks about right for me.
 
I'm also undecided about Azpi v Brana, perhaps half a game each with the same other players and we could split the hairs between them.

After Benitez saying JT had to fight for his place back in the team I wouldn't be surprised to see JT on the bench instead <yikes>
 
How are both teams not on red cards? Rami and Collocini are pushing it.
 
Webb gave this game away already, despite any allegiance, stonewall penalty for the kick in the face to Ba, anywhere else on the pitch and thats a free kick, pretty sure a Liverpool game this season or last involved a similar award of a penalty
 
Don't blame Webb - we're lucky to have eleven men. The team is ****. This could get embarrassing.
 
thought we should've had a pen for that kick on Ba. Boot far too high.

We've been **** again though and I'm not banking on a good HT talk from fat man either.
 
Classy Geordie fans as always. Booing Ba after that challenge.
 
yeah was just on their board talking about that, tbf a lot of them were criticising those booing. Totally classless, not even sure why they're booing Ba in the first place, he hasn't exactly left them in the lurch.
