markjazzbassist Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Tough match at the Bridge. They have been in form and are 4 points above us in the table. Gana out through yellow card accumulation and McCarthy baines still injured. No word on stek.

Pearso Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Gonna be a tough ask, they haven't conceded in 4 league games. That being said, they lost during the week to that West Ham side, I think 8 of the 10 outfield players were first team? Shame Gana is out. I like Mark's line up, try catch them on the break with Yan, Gerry and Kak bursting forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd drop Gerry for Mori and keep bolasie up/ just off Rom. No issue with cleverly coming in, he's been impressive in his cameos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith B Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Steck Funes Mori - Williams - Jags Coleman - Cleverly - Barry - Barkley - Mirallas Bolaise-Lukaku I know it is not a way we've lined up before, but let's be a little bit ambitious here and try to steal 3 points.

Elston Gunnn Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hard to guess whether Koeman will be thinking to "build on momentum" by making only one change, starting (presumably) Cleverley for the missing Gana. Possibly Stekelenburg, too. Or, whether he will be thinking that away to Chelsea presents an entirely different challenge, requiring a few tactical replacements. I prefer the second option, and something like this. Robles/Stekelenburg Jagielka Williams Funes Mori Coleman Cleverley Barry Oviedo Lennon Barkley Lukaku Coleman and Oviedo had strong performances against WHam, so keep them in, now as wingbacks who offer both attacking and defending promise. Coleman is perhaps less effective than we'd prefer on crosses, but he's actually a real threat to score a goal (as is Funes Mori on corners). Cleverley seems the only logical change from Gana, and is nearly as energetic. As to the final spot, the third attacking player, Koeman has 4 options, of whom Bolasie is probably the most likely, and Mirallas next most likely. I'd be interested in seeing Lennon, instead, as he'd be much more likely than Bolasie, Mirallas, or Deulofeu to harass the Chelsea backline for 50-60 minutes. Although hoping to steal 3, I think the reality is that taking a point would also be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Strek Jags Williams Mori Coleman Barkley Barry Cleverly Bolasie Lukaku Delboy Go for the win..... that would my choice, but probably Kev for Geri as he's a bit more seasoned and (If memory serves) has scored a few against them for us.

Aidan Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'd say Mirallas out and del boy out give Lennon the shot he hasn't had this season. He's been quality in the past for us and Mirallas and gerry are doing eff all at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblue23 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I think that's exactly the line up we will see. Chelsea go with a 3-4-3 these days and I expect we will look to match that and cancel it out. I don't see Bolasie sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I don't see Bolasie sitting. Me neither, and despite him being a shambles 90% of the last game, I think this would be a game to get the best out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 3-5-2 Bolasie and Rom uptop, hopefully they play Cahill and Terry who won't keep pace. Barkley Barry Clev midfield Coleman Oviedo wingback Back 3 picks itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Ghana will be a big miss he is the only one who could have kept Kante quite Barry will probably get that role but will struggle Kante is their engine in midfield Barry will more than likely get sent off for late tackles he's to slow to keep up with players of that quality so dives in big problem for Koeman to sort out?

He's not that bad, he is clever and positions himself well. Granted he has to occasionally take someone down professionally, but every player in the centre of the park does, like Gueye did to rectify his mistake for his booking against WHU. Is Mecca going to be fit to do the Gana role? We need Besic back for it he's the ideal candidate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblue23 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just rewatched Naisy's hat-trick from last year. Strange to say, but somehow I think I'd be more confident going into this match if he was still in the side. He seems to hate Chelsea as much as I do.

Cornish Steve Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thinking on this, I would definitely go with two up-front. We often have high-scoring games against Chelsea and a track record of breaking their defence. I'm expecting a fast, high-energy match.

Guest rusty747 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 We need to be sharp from the start here. If we can go in level at half time I think we could nick this but we do not want to concede early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm sad I can't watch this. I'm at a conference today, so I'll have to follow the thread. I love the lineup. I hope Cleverley can keep up defensively, though. That's my primary worry. Hopefully we play with cool heads and move the ball well. Today isn't a day to be sloppy in our execution. COYB!
