I definitely want to see Besic given a go next week. Whole team need freshening up, the Arsenal game shows that that XI still isn't a 100%.

Drop Barry and start Besic, we need someone to give Fabregas a hard time in the middle of the park all game.

Barry played well, I don't think he should be dropped. Think we should play the same 4-3-3 we played against Arsenal but with Besic in place of Osman, as Besic offers more defensively. That way we can bring on Osman in the second half in case we're chasing a goal and need the added bit of creativity to unlock the defense.

This, thought Barry played very well against Arsenal

From what I have seen, Besic has as much, if not more, creativity as Osman... I think he is liable to doing something mental defensively like a two footed ninja kick to the head and that's why Robert Martins didn't bring him on in the previous games...

barry was superb against arsenal, just bossing the game, even wilshire had to try take him out, just swap ossie for mo
 
Wouldn't drop Barry because I thought he was no good against Arsenal. Just he's a bit slow and I think we'll need a bit more energy in the centre against Chelsea who've got some quick players.
 
Yes, I think we will see Mo Besic debut on Saturday, but not sure were.
Cannot see Jamie Mac being left out unless he is still carrying his knock, and to leave out Barry takes out the natural left sided cover when Bainsy bombs forward.
 
Hes gonna have to wait for his chance, I doubt Martinez will break up the Barry/McCarthy axis anytime soon and rightly so.

When 1 of them picks up an injury or suspension hes gonna be in like a cat up a drainpipe.

He will be first choice in Europa and League Cup.
 
I think we'll go 4-3-3 again against Chelsea with the injuries we have, and I've got a feeling Bobby will play Ossie. But, I'd love him to put Besic in there. As Martinez said, he's not phased by anyone. He could do a job man-marking Fabregas

It wouldn't surprise me if he started Osman ahead of Besic but i wouldn't understand why. I don't see what Osman could do better than Besic.

I think Martinez likes the 'link-player', some one who's gonna get to the left and do sexy stuff with Baines. Osman can only do that for 20 minutes
 
That's my point though, Besic looks like he can do that brilliantly.

Well Barks is that player. Besic is actually very similar to how Barry was earlier in his career. I hope he starts Besic, as like you said he had the vision, but he can actually run - unlike Osman
 
Does anyone else find it strange that our stand out performer by a country mile in an awful pre season has not played a minute of football yet. IMO there was a strong case for him being brought on in the last 20 minutes in both games. But obviously Roberto must not think he is ready.
