I'm gonna try and post in this section more often Smile

In terms of team selection Luiz > Cahill. Newcastle went into extra time while only making half the changes we did in the League Cup, I think it makes sense to start all our fresh legs, so Hazard - Oscar - Shirley.

Can't help but feel this is a massive game for us with Arsenal playing Liverpool later, it's the type of game we'd have dropped points in last season.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says picking his team for Newcastle will not be easy:
Chelsea boss José Mourinho says with so many players performing well, it will be hard to tell some they are not in his team:
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9002248/chelsea-boss-jose-mourinho-says-he-is-finding-team-selection-hard

"It's not easy for me to leave some players on the bench because everybody deserves to play.

"To have all these choices is a good problem with all the players doing well. To be the responsible man to say: 'you don't play, you are not selected, you go to the bench, you go to the stand', in this moment it is very hard because I feel I am unfair with all of them."

"The ones I am not selecting, I am unfair with them because they are doing everything to play.

"I change the team and people come and play a magnificent match so it is a difficult feeling for me because I'm unfair with some of them."

Alan Pardew pays tribute to 'thunderous and articulate' Mourinho:
Newcastle boss hails his Portuguese counterpart and his 'total commitment'
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/nov/01/newcastle-chelsea-pardew-mourinho

"What José does, which goes undetected because of his personality where he can be thunderous and articulate in the same sentence, is his work on the training ground, his organisation and what he demands from his players. Those things sometimes get forgotten."

"One of the big stands he makes is commitment, absolute commitment. If players don't offer that to him, then they don't play. When you've got that at a big club then you're going to get more results than not. Defensively he's one of the best coaches there is and you can very rarely score three goals against them. I take my hat off to what he does with his team."

"José's one of those charismatic people that fans and players buy into. When you buy into someone like him it can be infectious. When he came back to Chelsea you could see there was a real genuine good feeling about the place and it helps when a manager has got that. It makes the job easier."

I agree, Felix.

I think the best formation would be:

Cech
Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole
Ramires Lampard
Schurrle Oscar Hazard
Torres

Our wingers will provide speed and cause problems to their tired defence while DL4 can join in the attack if we have enough of the ball.

Just realised we're the day's early kick-off. Meaning we can go top of the league with a win, at least for a few hours Cool

by Kick Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:19 am

I know

Also means an earlier night to bed for me.

by Shed Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:20 am

Was just about to mention that next Proud

by Kick Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:21 am

Although, I will probably stay up and watch Norwich play with my friend.

by Shed Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:23 am

You mean you're not gonna watch United lose to Fulham? scratch

by Kick Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:26 am

My friend is a Norwich fan so we'll primarily be watching that after, might do some channel surfing from time to time though.

by Shed Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:35 am

Or you could just bin going to bed altogether and watch L'Arse v Liverpool as well cheers

by Kick Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:41 am

We shall see, I would want to watch the game but I don't know what's happening with my friends. If they hang around, I will but if they go, I might go to bed.
