9 days to go till the big game. johnson, schmitz and sadler are out. ghaly has gone. who would you play in that first match if you were the manager?

doyle
kelly
parnaby
ridgewell
queudrue
de ridder
nafti
mcsheffrey
kapo
forssell
jerome

subs: kingson, jaidi, larsson, muamba, o'connor.

doesn't look like a bad line-up. a 4-4-2 diamond midfield formation with kapo as the attacking midfielder and nafti as the defensive. we need our best team to play against chelsea and also it would be a good chance for the main players to gel, especially against a better opposition.

That's pretty much spot on, but I'd swap Jerome for Forssell, who mave have a point to prove against Chelsea.

Has Nafti been playing well lately then? I haven't seen much of Preseason. Good to hear that.

Doyle

Kelly - Jaidi - Ridgewell - Queudrue

Larsson - Kapo - Nafti - McSheffery

Forssell - Jerome

Maik Taylor
Parnaby
Muamba
De Ridder
O'Connor

The only reason i have put Nafti in the midfield is because Brucey said Muamba will be eased in to the Prem so imo that means that he will not start against Chelski, i would want to see him start because he has got to learn so why not throw him in at the deep end against one of the best teams in the country, the world even???

Play Kapo in the middle, we might as well go for it.

Larsson........Kapo......McSheffrey

SUBS: Taylor, Taylor, De Ridder, Jerome, O'Connor

I would have picked DJ ahead of Nafti if he was fit, and I'm hoping Schmitz will be ready for the game.

I've gone with my heart and put the Forse upfront, he's done well in pre-season and I don't think it would be fair to play Jerome or O'Connor as the lone striker in our first game. Forssell will have that little bit more experience.

But I'd definitely bring on De Ridder and Jerome on in the last 20 mins to get amongst their defence. Chelsea have a few injury problems at the back and we should make the most of it.

i'd have nafti starting instead of muamba because of the prem experience, especially against chelsea you need it. i don't think we should just defend, and try to get a draw. i think the team bruce picks should just go out and attack and try to get a win. seems impossible, but it's not. it can be done.

I'm not too sure on Ridgewell at the moment. I'm glad of the signing as our defence needed extra bodies in. From what I have seen (which is'nt much TBH) I'm not too convinced he is that much an improvement. I'm trusting Bruce's judgement and I'm hoping he will prove me wrong.

PS. He looks better with a Blues shirt so it's a start :P

Forssell

Taylor
Schmitz
Nafti

I mentioned in another thread, the 5 in midfield will (hopefully) help us to gain and maintain posession throughout most of the match, which will, in turn, allow us to stop Chelsea playing their game, and allow us to play ours.

In the last 20 mins, we should take off Muamba for Jerome or O'Connor and put Kapo just behind the strikers, to go all out attack.

But here's a thought - how about bringing on a midfielder or defender to preserve our lead (against Chelski)?

You are assuming we will be losing - what if we're winning? :D
