Match Day Thread Swans v Chelsea 17/01/2015

3-2

 

There'll be a 3 and a two in it somewhere but whether that's the score line I'm not sure .

 

A step too far if Chelsea play their strongest team 0-3 for this game. If they dont play their strongest side then we may get a draw...

 

How bout believing guys.Glad I never played alongside you chaps,beaten before the toss.

 

Well I fancy us getting a point, we always up our games for the big boys and oh it would be nice to give Jose a bloody nose.

Still think Chelsea will win the league mind.

 

I hope Man City win it and Bony scores the deciding goal.

 

I've got a £10 bet with my son, I've gone for Chelsea and he's gone for Man City. The bugger won last last season so I want revenge.

 

I don't think it's throwing in the towel by predicting a loss, just being real. I'll be annoyed if the players think the same way though and I hope they give it a real go. But Chelsea are awesome this season and should beat us by a couple of goals. A point or more and I'll be so chuffed. 0-2 for me.

 

Well I'm going for a 2-1 to the mighty Swans, we always lift our game for these top 6 sides so another cup final on Saturday with ball boys in good form too hopefully!...................

 

You'll get 19/1 for that score.I've taken 70/1 for 3-2 (both prices with PP)

 

Can't see us getting anywhere near them, will be outclassed and lose 1-3.

 

We played better than I expected against West Ham and got a point. We'll need to be sensational against Chelsea to get anything. Unless they have a complete off day, and even then we'll need to score more goals than them. I'm reluctantly predicting a 0 - 2.

Happy to be proven wrong, obviously. What happened to that blind optimism I used to enjoy

 

I sense nothing other than a disappointing Saturday afternoon

 

Looks like it's only me and DPJ looking forward to this one.

Keep the faith.

 

I'd go with;

------------------- Fabianski --------------------
---------- Fernandez ----- Ash ----------------
Jazz ----------------------------------- Tiendalli
-------------- Leon ----- Carroll ----------------
------------------------------------------------------
Dyer ------------ Emnes --------- Routledge
------------------- Gomis ------------------------

Subs; Tremmel, Bartley, Taylor, Amat, Siggy, Barrow and Oliviera

I'd rest Rangel (old and he didn't play well last week), Taylor (looked completely ****ed to me in the last 15mins against West Ham) and Siggy (trying to shake off an injury) as the next 3 games are far more important to our season.
Would be good experience for Jazz, Tiendalli would be well up for it I feel and would be a good chance to see Emnes starting in behind Gomis.

Bench
Bartley - is the most in form and fit centre-back,
Taylor - covers both full-backs,
Amat - can cover 3 positions and would be a good option to shore up midfield late in the game (Jazz could also be switched into midfield if needed)
Siggy and Barrow - for creativity if needed
and
Oliviera - is our only other "Striker" at the mo.

 

Looking forward to a game has no bearing on the result , just being realistic on how it may go. Any way DPJ can always turn the TV over and watch Countryside if it gets unbearable .

 

0-3. Which means that I can't be a REAL fan.

 

Shame on you

 

6 - 0. Feel better now? Bony hat trick.
