Are you seriously accusing Spider-Neil of forgetting Babel? I know that your a mentalist, but surely not that crazy...
 
Reina

Johnson Carragher Kirgiakos Insua


Mascherano Gerrard

Benayoun

Kuyt Torres Babel

Why the greek? Well they're gonna be dangerous on set pieces.
 
Riera offers some height for defending set pieces, could be what gets him the nod over Benayoun for left spot.

Aurelio I'm sure will replace Insua.


Reina

Johnson
Carra
Skrtel
Aurelio

Mascherano
Lucas

Kuyt
Gerrard
Riera

Torres

Subs: Cav, Kyriagkos, Insua, Dossena, Babel, Benayoun, Voronin.

Ngog to miss out on the bench.

That's what I'd play. Maybe Riera for Yossi but that's about it.
 
Reina

GJ
Carra
Skrtel (I am so tempted to put in Sotiris, but i dont have the guts)
Aurelio (if he plays midweek and doesn't get hurt/look out of sorts)

Masch (these are his games)
Lucas

Kuyt
Gerrard
Benayoun

Torres


If Aurelio can't play then I'd feel very comfortable putting Insua in but I'd tandem Riera with him instead of Yossi. They are amazing together from everything I have seen.

So Insua, now an Argentine international is not good enough to play Chelsea?
Especially after his performance in the Hull game.

What confidence boost it would be for him if Rafa drops him...

I can't see any indication from Rafa that he will drop him.

We'll definitely play Lucas, Gerrard and Mascher away against the chavs.

Yep, agreed.

Big game so Aurelio and Riera will come in I think. Riera can hold up the ball and is a good outlet.

Rieira will play, Yossi won't.

Rieira gives Insua/Aurelio more support in defending Bosingwa's forward runs.

I did. However IMO there will be enough cover from Masher & Lucas. I like Riera and the possession & stability he brings to the LW but we also need a more creative force in the final third rather than just relying on Torres & Gerrard vs Essien (who totally owned Gerrard last time out), Terry and Carvalho.

We beat them there last year with effectively that formation, and I'd be stunned if we went with anything remotely different. Benayoun will be a sub.

So, is Cech suspendered for this?

Hope not, he's fucking useless.
[/quote]

The rules changed didn't they ? Automatic suspensions are implemented with immediate effect ?

Hilario's name is aptness personified.

I would be very surprised if rafa didn't go with that team. water under the bridge now but that's the team that should have started v spurs.
 
we all know that lucas should not start this game. he's a passenger at the best of times never mind against chelsea's central midfield.

gerrard an masch for me in the middle with yossi, riera and kuyt playing behind torres.

i would also go with insua as i feel fabio takes a few games to get upto speed.

please rafa drop your love child lucas for this game, playing him against relegation fodder and mid table nobodies is one thing but against chelsea? i saw him on saturday at the hull game, whilst he got better as the game went on he was invisible for large parts of it and will never be of the standard necessary. its one thing being a squad filler but a 1st team regular starter?

no offence but I'd drop mash before lucas. anyone who says that mash is currently having a better season than lucas has an aggenda
 
I can't believe all the posters dropping Yossi for this game. He's been involved in almost all our goals so far this season, and has looked our most consistently dangerous player. I don't care where he plays - LW, no 10 or RW - but he has to start. I would rather drop Kuyt than Yossi.
