Not too much praise should go to Torres for that at all in my opinion. It looked to be going into the crowd from just a meter or 2 out before the deflection happened!
Sturridge is on the bench. Therefore I consider him fit enough to play. Him and Lampard need game time. Why on earth aren't at least one of them on yet?
"I don't know what Mikel actually does. He just sits there, plays it back, plays it sideways..." - Robbie Savage; professional footballer and 'pundit'; as well as the small minority on this forum which includes myself.
Not too much, but he's definitely misplacing passes and looks really tired. I don't see the logic in playing our most used player this season who clearly needs a rest in a game where we're currently leading and he's not being incredibly effective while also running the risk of him getting injured - all of this while he's jet-lagged. He won't progress if he plays every game, he'll just stagnate.
Another tackle from Luiz. Just... ughhh *sexual groan* If he stays in defence, chances are, I won't like him that much. If he stays in midfield, chances are, I'll have wet dreams about him.
It may sound harsh to say this so early, but remember - this would mean resting an important league player for us; but I believe we need a little shake up and should bring in Lampard for Hazard. Perfect game for Lampard to get more fitness; perfect time to rest the player who's played for us every game this season.
