Dark Munster Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 crap game but we won, and in the last 50 years we have normally lost such games. i would park the bus at Chelsea bring Toby back but keep Yoshi in, no Pelle and rely on Long and Mane's pace to hurt them Have to agree with this. And nice to actually be the team parking the bus for a change.
nta786 Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Nothing to lose, and they can afford slip ups which psychologically could help, who knows. Christ if Bradford can do it... Wanyama, Morgan and Davis for that one for me, they'll make it difficult for them. Tadic, Long and Mane up front, Toby back in defence. agreed- tbh it depends on who mourinho plays as the cb pairing. if cahill and terry play, long and mane can use their outpace them both- however zouma has been a revelation for them... i'd play this: forster clyne fonte toby bertrand morgan wanyama davis djuricic mane long 4312 formation bench: davis, gardos, yoshida, elia, tadic, jwp, pelle wouldn't even mind seeing mane up front and tadic and djuricic behind him, with long on bench. Koeman knows best though!

The Cat Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 "Chelski"? On tonight's match thread they've gone with "Wet Sham". When will this hilarity end? Will someone use Moan Utd, Looserpool, Spuds or Arsenil next? I can't wait to find out.
SaintTex Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 ----------------Forster------------------ Clyne--Fonte--Alderwiereld--Bertrand ----Wanyama-------Schneiderlin------ --------------Djuricic------------------- Mane----------Long--------------Tadic bench: K. Davis, Elia, Pelle, Yoshida, Gardos, Davis, JWP None of this 3-5-2 nonsense. Go with a 4-2-1-3. I would start Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand, Vic, Morgan every game here on out - if healthy - without fail. So really, it is about finding the right places/scheme for the other 4. Djuricic has the creativity to play the #10. Tadic needs to be on the left. Drop Pelle. Mane will have to adapt on the right.
pap Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 I wonder if Bertrand will have a mysterious injury Why? He's our player now. I'd have thought he'd be jumping at the chance to shine against a team that overlooked him.

Batman Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win. Ah well
Appy Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win. Ah well Big shout that.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Fully expect Chelsea to win, but crazier things have happened. Forster Clyne Fonte Toby Bertrand Morgan Wanyama Davis Tadic Long Mane Keep it compact and hit them on the break. Only chance. AND DON'T LET HAZARD CUT INSIDE AND SHOOT!!!
Dalek2003 Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Keep the goals against us to respectable level. Would be happy with a 3-0 defeat. Avoid being humiliated and then try and pick up 10 points with our remaining games.
davefoggy Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win. Ah well Always nice to be positive
austsaint Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 ----------------Forster------------------ Clyne--Fonte--Alderwiereld--Bertrand ----Wanyama-------Schneiderlin------ --------------Djuricic------------------- Mane----------Long--------------Tadic bench: K.

Djuricic has the creativity to play the #10. Tadic needs to be on the left. Drop Pelle. Mane will have to adapt on the right. Add Mane to your "should start every game from now on" list - agree on the others. Elia could add a lot of value off the bench from now on, and Djuricic looks a creative force who should sharpen up and improve.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Against Chelsea the 10 will play deeper so more likely Davis or JWP. Tadic and Mane either side of Pelle for me. Wasn't as if Long did anything to show he should start. His first touch is ****ing woeful and we will need someone who can hold the ball up, and Pelle does that.
Tom28 Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Never seen anyone drop Clyne before! Just don't think he's played very well for a while. His head is elsewhere. Liverpool I'd expect...
Wiggles31 Posted 4 March, 2015 Posted 4 March, 2015 Hardest away game this season but I fancy us performing well and nicking something. Agree with previous posters, park the bus and hit them on the break with pacey players. Bring em on! COYR!
andoru Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 Completely forgot that Bertrand had signed for us permanently and so can play. Hopefully he'll be well up for showing Chelsea what they lost by not giving him his chance.
Redslo Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 Completely forgot that Bertrand had signed for us permanently and so can play. Hopefully he'll be well up for showing Chelsea what they lost by not giving him his chance. It is not clear that he can play. The rules permit the transfer agreement to excluded him from playing in this game and I have not heard anything specific about what actually occurred.
Jack Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 Chelsea are at their best on the counter, so I'll be happy to see the bus parked and try to counter attack ourselves. ----------Forster Clyne Fonte Toby Bertrand --Schneidelrin Wanyama ----------Davis Mane------------------Elia ----------Long It means no hoofing up to the front man, need to get it wide quickly instead 'out of a good organisations', but we've got some pacey guys who could cause problems. I think our decision making was really poor against Palace, we'd really need things to click to come away with a result.

I'm fairly sure that the interview the club did with him after signing specifically mentioned that he'll be able to play against Chelsea

You have a brilliant way of bringing vagueness and confusion to things that are simple. Have QPR or Villa got to their 57 point safety target yet?

If I ignore him from now on will he go away?
Roger Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 Just don't think he's played very well for a while. His head is elsewhere. Liverpool I'd expect... I don't agree thought he was decent the other night and certainly not bad enough to be dropped.

That is a quality back 6 when we've got everyone fit and available, can't ask for much more than that away at Chelsea. I'd go with that line up, but either Djuricic or Long in for Elia and keep Pelle up front, he's our best striker. Edited 5 March, 2015 by Sour Mash
SNSUN Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 I can see the 3-5-2 formation for this, or the like. Forster Alderweireld Fonte Yoshida Clyne Morgan Vic Bertrand Djuricic Mane Pelle Something like that.

Also when did it last help us to play well???? Get unhooked from the old, big, lumbering, slow, lazy, no runs centre forward that is Pelle and move with the times. Slick,fast moving, dynamic football.

Toomer Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 This is Saints we are talking about, this could be a game where we think no chance and we come back with a result, can we do a Man U away on them.

Sadly he won't go away, and in this case you will get two for the price of one, since his bosom buddy will also troll you as you may have already noticed.
WealdSaint Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 Would like to see Harrison Reed at least on the bench. Defence & Def. midfield will be key, with some pace up front for the counter attact
Dan Johnson Posted 5 March, 2015 Posted 5 March, 2015 We wont have possession for long periods. I think our best chance is on the break, Terry & Ivanovic aren't the most pacey. 2 ways of looking at it. We don't play Pelle & we play 3 quick players to hit Chelsea on the break or we play Pelle and hope he can hold up the ball, win a few free kicks & help take the pressure off the back 4. Forster Clyne Alderweireld Fonte Bertrand Morgan Davies Vic Mane Pelle

I'd go with that line up, but either Djuricic or Long in for Elia and keep Pelle up front, he's our best striker. I just can't see how Pelle would get much change out of their back 4. Surely someone quicker and trickier might cause more problems. In other news, can we change the thread name to 'Chelsea'?

In other news, can we change the thread name to 'Chelsea'? Good point to be fair. They are excellent defensively, the best back 4 in the country and very good in the air, you're right the only weakness might be pace. The fact that Koeman took off Pelle on Weds night suggests he might be looking at alternatives, but I don't really think Long through the middle is the answer. Maybe Mane up front, with Djuricic, Tadic and Davis threading through the balls, but that's quite a big change in our playing style.
