manpe 10,861 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Agree about Ramires. Though I think AVB's shot himself in the foot by saying Lampard will play against Valencia.. where and when did he say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/961705/frank-lampard-quits-chelsea-bench-after-snub?cc=5901closest thing I found: Asked about Lampard's position, Villas-Boas attempted to play down suggestions that the England international's days are numbered.He said: "I don't know but this is nothing to speculate about. They are team players and the players want the team to perform, and Frank is like that. He is a fantastic player, a magnificent player and soon he will be back to the team, sooner than you expect.

Chelsea? 892 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Mata is all over the pitch. I think AVB wanted Fereria so he would be able to play the left wing and Mata would be able to roam more. I do however think Torres players so much better with Mata, Mierales and Ramirez on the field rather than Lamps as his supplier. So I say stick to our Swansea line up for Valencia and play Lampard at Bolton. Did Lamps really walk off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 where and when did he say that?My bad. I've mis-read from SkySports.."Villas-Boas maintains nothing could be further from the truth, indicating that he will recall Lampard for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Valencia."

Kostas 1,468 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Sure we've regressed in the last few years in the Champions League but not to the point that we'll go for anything else than a win in a group game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Er... I didn't say that.I said I'd happily take a draw if you offered it me now.A lot of people on here are doing Valencia a disservice, they are an excellent team and this will be our biggest test of the season so far.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I actually think this will be a tougher test because this Valencia side are quite unpredictable, with United at Old Trafford you know exactly what you're going to be up again; high-intensity, counter-attacking football. This will be a challenge, make no mistake about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 shittier teams have gone to Mestalla and won... I won't expect anything but a win, but I wouldn't rage over a draw either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I just hope we don't make ourselves look like absolute fools. I would take a 0-0 right now, anyone who has been to the Mestalla like i have will know its by far the most intimidating arena in Europe. I can not see us winning this game and i think the best we will get out of it will be a score draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacika 188 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I expect win too...they are just Valencia after all My prediction for the lineup: CehBosingwa- Luiz-Ivanovic(Terry)-ColeRamires-Romeu-Lampard Anelka-Tores-MataI don't know if sturidge is fit so I didn't put him in this lineup...Malouda could come in, and Drogba and Meireles too...

Chelsea? 892 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 good team but if we go with: Ramirez, Mikel/Romeu, and Mierales. with Anelka, Torres/Drogba and Mata up front, I predict a 2-0 win. Anything else might be a struggle for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 a win would be really good :-) but wouldn't mind a draw ... I don't care if make mistakes in the groups stages, because only if we make mistakes will AVB can analyse the team better and as we progress further we will be an even better team.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 CECHIvanovic Luiz Terry Cole MikelMeireles Lampard?/(ramires) MataDrogba TorresEvery player and team has moments when things fall into place. This is our moment.If our midfield was still Lampard Malouda and co, then this would not be possible as torres would still be shit and they would never be able to play together.Now with Mata and Meireles, our play is faster smoother and more penetrating.So this is the moment that a partnership of EPIC proportions develops....both players settled....team style changed....confidence restored.... friendship's stronger....Torres and Drogba i am sure will be able to play together now and well....iF CL and PL are even thinkable....this is the partnership to make it happen...Im feeling good about this.I hope AVB does have a thought regarding this idea and its well worth the try considering both players are hitting form, and with a different style of play.Whatsayyou?? I said....Whatsayyou???(LOTR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
