Team: Cech; Azpi, JT(c), Cahill, Cole; Rami, Luiz; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Ba.


Subs: Turn,Iva,Bert,Lamps,Yossi,Torres,Mikel #CFC

GavRedKing

Strongest starting XI we have, need to pick up points after Wigans draw yesterdat and Arsenal have a very tough fixture against Utd.

Meglamonia

Strong team,4-0.

GavRedKing

I'd take 1-0 win at this stage and just rack up the points.

Meglamonia

Clattenburg might give us an easy peno too :pac:

GavRedKing

Oh ya I nearly forgot about that.

I really hope the crowd dont act the muppet today, they probably will but I'm hoping they dont.

Anyway with Luiz and Ramires in CM, I'd be much happier then having Mikel in there and taking Mikel out of the equation eliminates any possible stupid handshake questions.

MickShamrock

Swansea team to play Chelsea: Vorm, Rangel, Flores, Williams, Davies, Britton, Ki, de Guzman, Routledge, Michu, Hernandez.

Any streams for this one lads?

DazMarz

Must win. Simple as. Cannot afford to fúck it up.

Only thing is, Swansea are in very poor/inconsistent form since they won the League Cup, so I hope that continues. They have nothing to play for; they're safe in the League on 42 points. They're qualified for Europe on the back of the League Cup win. They've nothing worth playing for apart from pride, and hopefully they won't put up too much resistance.

Chelsea must capitalise upon Spurs' slip-up yesterday, at all costs.

One eye being kept on affairs at the Emirates too. Ideal result for Chelsea is a draw. Next, United to win. Worst, Arsenal win. Simple, once again.

Link snipped

GavRedKing

I made a balls of the edit.

GavRedKing

Really like Dave hes a decent rb

DazMarz

Sorry, seriously didn't know that streaming sites weren't allowed. Apologies. Won't happen again. At least I got a sound mod who just snipped it!

Back to the match: bright start so far. Good to see Luiz in the midfield. Fingers crossed there will be early goals now.

DazMarz

Yeah, "Dave" is a great right back. Not getting as much praise really as he deserves, but he's far superior to any right back we've had in the past few years, IMO.

GavRedKing

Started ok, need a goal in the next 15mins

DazMarz

Swans just sitting back and letting Chelsea come at them. Deja vu of the League Cup. Cannot afford to get caught on the break this time out.

Goal needed after all this possession.

EDIT: Very good to see Cahill back in. Our best centre-half. Great to see him back in the fold.

GavRedKing

We need to quicken the tempo, Williams is very comfortable at the back at the moment.

GavRedKing

Good chance here for Mata or Luiz

DazMarz

No pressurising the ball. Both teams playing this like it's a bloody friendly... What the hell, like?

Chelsea desperately need these points more than Swansea. Need to quicken up a lot more.

GavRedKing

Hopefully Luiz and Ramires can get about Swansea and up the tempo.

GavRedKing

Good strike from Ba

DazMarz

Argh! Lovely little move between Oscar and Hazard. Oscar's final touch just lets him down. Unlucky.

More of the same with a bit more determination and it's in for a proper chance.

Good save from Vorm from Ba's chance. That's more like it, now!!!

GavRedKing

Mata's not in the game enough.

GavRedKing

Commentator : we havent won 6 games in a row at home since Carlo Ancellotti 2 years ago. :pac: jaysus

GavRedKing

Ramires in trouble.....Lamps on.

Edit : Nooooo not Mikel.

GavRedKing

Should have been 1-0 Swansea there.

Big fan of Williams, shame he's not a few years younger...

I think big fish in small pond suits him. I don't think he'd fit in at a big club.

Doesn't look good for Ramires

GavRedKing

C'mon now Lamps.

DazMarz

Lamps on. 201, c'mon, you know you want it!

800th club career appearance for Lamps. 400th League appearance for Chelsea. Cap it with a goal. C'MON!!!

Johner

We are playing like this game doesn't matter.

GavRedKing

What a terrible touch from Oscar. :O

GavRedKing

Lamps, JT and Cole all on, c'mpn to f**k.

DazMarz

Twice now, Oscar's touch has let him down.

Livelier now. Goal coming... I hope.

GavRedKing

Stepping it now, well won by Azp

GavRedKing

3rd time now from Oscar

Lamps looking good, Oscar not so much

RichT

Delighted that Alex Ferguson has named a very strong team against Arsenal.

DazMarz

Thrice, Oscar caught out. Not at the races today.

We've to do our bit 1st before worrying about Arsenal.

GavRedKing

That was another half chance for Michu

DazMarz

Swansea's attacks looking more and more threatening. Any lax messing at the back could cost Chelsea here.

GavRedKing

Right what we need for the 2nd half.

4-4-2

Mata Lamps Luiz Hazard

Torres Ba

Mata and Hazard Wide right and left and the 2 lads holding.

Whip Oscar for Torres.

GavRedKing

We're lucky Michu isnt the same player he was 5 months ago

GavRedKing

Oscars having a bloody nightmare.
