bluephoenix 1,131 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 AVB has a tough task deciding the starting 11 for this match. given we have to face Valencia who are a formidable team to face in couple of days after this match.my starting 11-----Cech-----PF-Ivanovic--JT-Cole------Mikel-------- ----Mceachran----Lampard--------Anelka----DD-----Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic! 301 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I hope Lukaku gets some minutes, but I know that's highly unlikely since he played 120 minutes against Fulham and both Drogba & Torres are fully fit.But you never know. It's against these opponents that players like Lukaku can actually prove themselves. Like he did against Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's against these opponents that players like Lukaku can actually prove themselves. Like he did against Norwich.The thing is AVB will want to give some minutes to players who didn't feature against Fulham so that he can chose the team for the match against Valencia. But I wouldn't be surprised if Lukaku gets a nod ahead of anyone else in the starting 11. Infact I would love to see DD + Lukaku play I am sure DD will set up the first chelsea goal for Lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, maybe AVB has 'something' for Lukaku and really wants to develop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanMKD 41 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 We need to show our superiority against Swansea, and score some goals. This will just rise up the confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 No Torres on your Team sheet? Hes in Form nowadays and is super effective in terms of assists gameplay beating defenders and now scoring too, probably.The problem is that if we as a team have to move on, So do some players, including legends like The Drog.(in terms of starting 11)Imagine me putting Villas boas in our line up.i dont think its wise to make torres play 2 matches in 3 days so i ll keep him for the valencia match(ucl- higher priority). by the way i know teams and players have to move on but all this cant happen instantaneously. u cant expect drogba to only be a super sub for the whole season. he ll want to start matches and with torres atlast hitting some form, drogba will be itching to prove that he is not over and such a drogba will be very dangerous. plus i also want to see him play along side mata so that he ll get some delivery. last season drogba had turned more into an assister rather than striker because of lack of delivery. lets see if he can get his 2009-10 golden boot touch back.

Henrique 9,133 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Why you guta keep puting Mata as a winger?Its clear that VB want him to play as a playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 We should play with a flat 4-4-2 in this game with Malouda and on the left with Mata on the right. Drogba and Torres up front with Rami and Raul in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Torres will probably start, but will be replaced by Drogba. I hope Josh gets a start. It would be wonderful to see Mata, Meireles and McEachran on the field at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I expect us not only to win this but to get a clean sheet from it as well! Boas should have learned by now that our defence has been leaking goals left right and centre in the last few games because it has been awful compared to previous seasons!I also reckon a majority of players could be rested for this game... people like Luiz because they tired themselves out in the Carling Cup game against Fulham...Also, Romeu should be given a chance to play in this game. He was exceptional in mid week...I'd like us to play this team against Swansea...1) Maybe bring on Mikel for Romeu some time during the second half if things aren't going well...2) Anelka is only there because I assume Sturridge is injured... otherwise I would have chosen him!

Kojo 4,676 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Why you guta keep puting Mata as a winger?Its clear that VB want him to play as a playmaker.No, Mata is a free role player, like David Silva, just because you put him on the wing wont mean he will just stick there, he will be roaming all over in the oppesitions half, preferable just outside the centre of the box, he's our player who makes magic, but also can go on the left wing.
