Ideally we win by the odd goal but at the same time make this Blackburn side look very good hoping for an entertaining game with lots of chances end to end, Lukaku and Torres to have good games if they play wouldn't be to mad if we drew or lost though
I've read about Essien's market value being much higher than what I would have thought, of course the figures might not be completely up to date but still..was €33M I believe Mikel also had a good value at around €20M so if we could get anywhere near these two figures then they both should be sold right away imo
I think Drogba's been great in a few really big games this season...my problem is though he either is great or doesnt turn up at all I feel like he's only played well in the games where glory's been at stake.. late into tournaments/cups
going with Mata out of the three nominees, has had a great impact this season and contributed a lot. my personally choice would be David Luiz otherwise, MoM a good amount of times for me. since Cahill's arrival he hasn't been as irreplaceable as Mata though then again what could he have done? Mata shines when we're in possession going forward, wasn't gonna be much of that against Barca. tactical mistake by RdM in my opinion to play him
but but but.. I thought Cavani was the world's greatest striker? don't believe we will spend £40M+ on a single players seeing since we'll need to buy at least 3-4 in the summer anyway, feels pointless doing transfer speculations before the season is over
OUT: Malouda, Essien, Drogba, Lampard, Mikel, Meireles, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Kalou, Turnbull, Sturridge, Hilário, Torres IN: can't be bothered but no one from napoli or asia
must take the positives from this game if they win their next one as well hopefully they'll go in to next season somewhat confident and not make too many changes to their squad (doubt they can afford it anyway?) oh and KKK
am I one of few who actually cared about this game or are you guys just rationalising? HATE to see us lose against scumpool, no matter the importance of the game
