Chelsea VS Ipswich FA Cup Sunday 3pm MATCH THREAD

Sgt Pepper 64

I know its early, but you all need time for the paint to dry on the banners!

Can we, current Premiership Champions and FA Cup holders (Perks me up no end typing that, especially during our current "difficult" moment (It's not a crisis, right?)), defeat mangerless Ipswich?

Looks like Sturridge plays, maybe Bruma?

Panthro

I would like to see Bruma, Josh, and Danny all get a start.

I'd like:

---

Turnball

---

Paulo--Bruma--Terry--Van Annholt
---Essien---Josh

---

Lampard

---

Kalou

---

Danny

---

Anelka(Kakuta)

Possibly Ivanovic in for Pualo, but other than that, thats the team I would like to see fielded.

Gonzovision

I'd give Kakuta the start

Thats not bad, like to see 4-4-2 and Danny play NOT as a winger.
And not play Kalou, but Katuta

chelseavera

Right - its highly unlikely we'll suddenly get a change of formation from Carlo - but if he steps aside for the afternoon, this is my team.

---

Turnbull

---

Ferrera

---

Bruma

---

Terry ---- Van aanholt

Ramieres---- Clifford ---- Lampard

McEachran ----Kakuta

Sturridge


Hows that lads? That'll be a Xmas-Tree for me!! Shake things up Carlo!

Lukker-

I'd be suprised if Clifford made the bench.

Lukker-

I do hope Ancelotti experiments with the team though, possibly a new formation that utilizes 2 strikers would be a welcome change.

No way in hell he experiments at the moment, not in the midle of a crisis of form. The last thing he needs is a 3rd round exit in the cup in the week he all but conceded the league. His job is hanging by a thread, he's not going to send in kids to save it for him.

I dunno he often plays the diamond in cups and it's obvious something needs to change so I do think he'll mix it up a little tomorrow.

Sadly - you're probabaly right. It appears mellis might be ahead of him for some reason! This was not my predicted line-up, it was more like my dream line-up (for this one)

Not all the kids, but Danny is a certain starter, so is Josh, probably Bruma as well

I'm keeping an eye on this:
Its more than likely going to be a min or two behind the actual game.

Or this
keeps an eye on the other games too.

Panthro

Barr

Its crap this game aint televised somewhere. They are showing Man City on ESPN.

Better passing from Ipswich, without any reward. The game is not just won by Chelsea - it is owned
