TomCFC 357 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 ^Yet you choose Torres over Drogba against a physical side like Stoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milllz 43 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 luiz is a doubt for the game with a knee problem i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Should play Drogba against a team like stoke imo but Torres has looked something close to his best in the last 2 games and their defence isn't the quickest. Upson has a bit of pace but not the physicality to overpower Drogba or Torres for that matter. Alex should partner Terry and Mikel must play. Fire with fire. Think i'd play Yossi over Josh but it a tough call. Their midfield isn't hugely physical, but their defence is pretty solid as is Kenwyne Jones. I reckon we'll win there but a draw wont be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handy15 9 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 My Predicted Line Up for Sotke Match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 He hasn't used Drogba & Torres much at all together in pre season so i'd be surprised if he does on Sunday. Hope he does tho because i genuinely believe playing them together would be best against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino- 116 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Options with Drogba and Torres are not something I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'd rather this game was suspended so we play West Brom, Norwich and Swansea instead, then Sturridge can play in this match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Why not go against conventional wisdom of fighting the physicality of Stoke with more brute strength? I'd rather pace, movement and creativity to counter their physical play. Why not play Yossi, Josh and Torres and work Stoke to death chasing the ball?

Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 CechIvanovic - Alex - Terry © - ColeRamires - Mikel - LampardKalou - Drogba - Malouda Any news on Mikel? I'd love to include Torres & McEachran but I think this particular lineup is physical enough to beat Stoke on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Even though Drogba is more suited against Stoke, i have a feeling he'll start with Torres. Kalouseless will definitely be with Malouda out wide as basically we have no one else lol so this could go rather badly.I think Bosingwa should be on the right wing personally.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think Bosingwa should be on the right wing personally.He doesn't have quite the skill set to be a proper right winger, but anything's better than Kalou. Bosingwa has great pace and sometimes has a good cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I agree but he's a shit right back with absolutely no defensive qualities and Kalou is an absolute nonse and a shit talentless nonse at that sooo.... It's not really good either way to be fair. *Flips Coin* Fuck.. Kalou starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
