5-0 we go TOP.. that has to be the aim make a statement before Chelsea go to stoke on monday...

Don't need to win 5-0 on Saturday to go top on Monday.

4-0 puts us top according to mustard predictor

It would be nice but let's be grounded. We are three strikers down and havn't looked like scoring 5 this season so far. Three points please is all I ask, and that should be within our compass.

Taking my 3yr old to her first game and my 11yr old son in law to his first home game (strangely enough he's been to plently of away and still not made it to a home game with me) and I'd still like to maintain my pre game pint. Been a while since I've been in Mary D's but can you take kids in there?

Hart
Zabaleta
Martin
Mangala
Kolarov
Navas
Fernandinho
Yaya
Milner
Nasri
Silva

Pretty much the only team we can play apart from clichy or kolarov. Sure we will find a way to win even without a striker.

Agree with the personnel for the day BUT we must get the formation right.
Like Barca or Spain we can pass them to death as long as we get enough runners into the box for the killer punch. Apart from the Yaya of last year we have no prolific goal scoring midfielders and therefore it is unlikely we are going to run up a cricket score. Yaya must not be pushed forward from the start and should remain our anchor pass master. Lampard will be an important substitution as the game progresses.

Ambrose retweeted this

Brandon Barker and Thierry Ambrose trained with first team today.
One of them might be on bench on Saturday or maybe both.

Would love to see Barker get some game time.
