I don't think these are Fergie type mind-games as I'm sure that Chelsea's back 3 or 4 could probably go home at half time but but again not being able to field our strongest side is undermining our efforts.
Blake has done as well as can be expected in holding the front line by himself. Unfortunately, this will open the door for Iversen to once again remind us why Spurs gave him a free transfer.
Getting another rare oppounity in goal is Oakesy who, let's be honest, would be on the bench if Kameni had been granted a work permit.
There seems to be increasing speculation about a start for Hassan Kachloul. I fancy him to replace Colin Cameron in the central midfield three as Henri Camara will be asked to support Iversen up front with Kennedy over on the left.
Personally, I'd like to see Joe Cole given a game. If Ince doesn't kick him up in the air first then we could see some amazing ball skills from the lad.
Also seeing Jimmy Floyd running at Paul Butler will be worth the admission fee alone to see the look of fear on Butts' face.
I can't wait - this is what football is all about!
