I'd probably rather he went with Valencia ahead of Rafael, I'm sick of him. Is Rio out?

for 4 weeks apparently

That's a bummer. Hopefully Evans is back for Fuham then.

Chelsea's starting lineup: Cech; Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry (c), Cole; Lampard, Mikel; Hazard, Mata, Bertrand; Torres.

Subs: Turnbull, Cahill, Ferreira, Essien, Meireles, Oscar, Sturridge.

DAT Attacking flair rite der in the starting lineup! Ramires is sick so Bertrand is RDM's solution in the RW. He's good going forward for a full back and did well to score last week but I don't think he should start especially in an attacking position. Di Matteo should grow his balls and start with Hazard, Oscar, and Mata.

marin's injured.

very, very attacking. have to be careful against an always plucky wigan, especially with mikel and lampard playing. well, moreso mikel than lampard, but mikel is just wank and lampard slowing down so i presume wigan will try and run at luiz and entice him into his usual mistakes. i presume ramires isn't playing due to this would be his 3rd game in a week?

wigan team: Al Habsi; Boyce, Alcarazy, Caldwell, Figueroa; Maloney, McArthur, McCarthy, Ramis, Moses; Di Santo

4-5-1 by the looks of it, interested to see how cb ramis goes in the midfield.

Moses starting will be interesting. A good performance might convince Chelsea to cough up.

Ramires is sick. Di Matteo has kind of pissed me off here though. Luiz over Cahill again. Bertrand - who I really like - starting when we could have gone a bit bold and tried the Hazard, Oscar, Mata three...

I understand BOSSCAR hasn't played with the team yet, so it would have been a risk, but sometimes risk is rewarded.

**Seabs** · 08-19-2012, 07:05 AM

Don't understand starting Bertrand ahead of Oscar but whatever. Should be plenty of goals.

Expect RVP to start instead of Kagawa. Don't think Valencia will play RB now with Ferdinand out and being away to Everton.

Yeah typed in Marin by mistake, supposed to be Oscar. I've seen some posts on certain Chel$ki websites saying Oscar can play a deep playmaking type of role akin to Xabi, if so I think RDM should drop Mikel and try that. Really think it's a waste if they're not gonna try these three together and just sub each of them on for each other.

Yeah and starting with Luiz over Cahil too, what's up widat?

We shouldn't try to change Oscar. He wears the #10 for Brazil for a reason and Di Matteo better realise that. He is better than Mata and Hazard in the hole, because he can control the game from there.
