presumably because when it gets to tomorrow the title seems silly. But here would be my team: McGregor Rosey Chester Davies Figgy Elmo Livermore Thudd Meyler Boyd Sagbo
----------------McGregor Rosie-----Chester-------Davies-----Figueroa Elmo---Livemore---Thudd---Meyler---Boyd -------------------Sagbo
McGregor Rosenior - Chester - Davies - Figueroa Elmo - Livermore - Huddlestone - Boyd Meyler Sagbo
Just read those stats and was disappointed to not see the 'Chelsea haven't done the double over us in the premier league'
Bruce in the middle to sit deep and try and plug the gap between midfield and defence so the others in midfield can have a bit more license to push forwards on the counter. Whoever make up the advanced midfield 3 mourinho will likely opt for we will want to deny them the space. Hazard, Oscar, Mata, Schurrle, that other one whos name I've forgotten are all deadly players. Meyler not really to play as a winger but to help cover that left side in defence, just do his usual thing which is a real asset against teams with the quality of Chelsea etc. Chances against a Jose Mourinho defence marshalled by John Terry will be few and far between, if at all, we any be doing with the main attacker wasting any opportunity we might create by going for glory from anywhere whenever he has the ball in sight of goal within 30 yards. Graham will play his team mates in and play for the team in general, and his hold up and linking play isn't far off Sagbo's anyway.
Would go with the same team and substitution.Quinn will be itching to show what he can do and his energy may cause Chelsea some problems.
Yep. I would agree with both those selections. We need lots of energy in the middle to stop Chelsea from playing as openly as they did back in august. Stop Oscar and Hazard and we can win the game. imo. Our subs bench looks strong as well. Harper - Faye - Koren - Quinn - Graham - Fryatt - Proschwitz.
I think if we don't see Gedo on the bench tomorrow then he's on his way back to Egypt. McGregor Rosey Chester Davies Figgy Elmo Livermore Thudd Meyler Boyd Sagbo Subs: Harper, Bruce, Faye, Quinn, Koren, Gedo/Fryatt, Graham.
