Agree, one of JT/Luiz on the bench. Ivanovic and Cahill are extremely good 'replacements'. Should have no problem with that. Drogba definitely on the bench. He needs to save his energy. Play the fresh legs of Torres/Sturridge/Kalou/Malouda/Lukaku who should be good enough as well. I'd rest Essien too he must have been completely knackered after Wednesday. No idea how he lasted the 120!
Really shouldn't risk playing those who got knocks against Napoli. Yes, the FA Cup is important but the games that we have coming up (City, Spurs, Benfica X2) are more important. It's Leicester at home. We can do without 2 or 3 of them.
lmao, I was rewatching the game and at the final whistle, I noticed her celebrating with Chris Jones in the background when Di Matteo was humping Drogs She hugged him and jumped around a few times lol Dunno if you pervs ( ) noticed so I just thought I'd let you all know if you didn't You're welcome.
I think you misunderstand us to be honest. We are not saying that your side is an easy one. We all recognize the many good players you have. What we meant is... we're happy to avoid Barca, RM, Bayern & Milan! I'm sure you feel the same way.
Crazy run of matches coming up 18th Mar - Leicester - FA Cup Quarter-final 21 Mar - City - Prem 24 Mar - Spurs - Prem 27 Mar - Benfica - CL QF 1st leg 31 Mar - Villa - Prem 4 Apr - Benfica - CL QF 2nd leg
yeah he did play ok. A couple of great crosses, notably the one for Drogba a minute after the goal. But defensively he was poor at times. The Cavani chance before our goal (where he slid into the cross/shot from Hamsik and the ball hit the side netting) was his mistake. Firstly he tried to do a stepover kinda thing and gave the ball away. Then a few seconds later he pulled out of a challenge which allowed Napoli to counter. He needlessly tries to do tricks sometimes and when they don't come off, they can be very costly. He'll learn though. But his attitude really needs to improve.
agreed anyway the further we go in the competition, the more $$$ we'll get from CL revenue. A relatively easy draw now is welcome. Benfica are a good side but everyone would have preferred to get either them, APOEL or Marseille.
Well hopefully Milan can knock Barca out. Definite possibility. Anyway nice to have the draw but we'll deal with the semis if/when we get there. Benfica is a superb draw.
wonderful wonderful draw Milan could knock Barca out But we've got the 2nd leg at home in both rounds! (if we get to the Semis, of course!) edit: oops my mistake! thought the semis 2nd leg would be at home
