On Sunday we head to Stamford Bridge, for what I believe to be our toughest fixture this season. With the likes of Oscar, Mata, Hazard and Torres on the attacking front ready to cause Havoc. Hopefully Agger and Skertl will step up and contain them to give us a fighting chance. Their defence is a bit shaky and a weak spot that Suarez will hopefully take full advantage of. If he (Suarez) is at his best he will be unstoppable for them, lets just pray he is on his a game. The formation I'd like to see us play is 3-5-2, with the following lineup. (not sure if Reina/Johnson are fit yet but I included them anyway)
---------------------Jones/Reina----------------------
------------Coates------Skrtel------Agger--------------
-Johnson--------------------------------------Enrique-
---------------------Allen------Gerrard----------------
--------------------------Suso------------------------
--------------Suarez--------------Sterling--------------
I'd like to say we could get a draw or maybe even sneak a win, however a loss is more likely (for me) but I will be hoping for more as usual! 2-2 with Suarez and Johnson getting them for us (granted if he is fit to play). Hopefully the fact that our starting 11 will be rested and they had CL on the wednesday will play in our favour and they're not quite up to scratch!
Thoughts?
I really like that team. I think it's more or less what we'll see apart from 2 variables. I think Wisdom may be slightly in favour of Enrique, in which case Johnson would play LWB. Also, Suso did really well in the AM role when he came on last night, and a few people have said that may be the best position to play him. Whether he'll get the nod ahead of Sahin though, I'm not sure. Sahin hasn't been very impressive in the last few games, but I'd still probably but slightly surprised (but not a lot) to see Suso start ahead of him.
I really like Sterling up front with Suarez. Sterling is a fantastic wideman, but I thought he looked really good up front against Everton in the second half.
