manpe 10,861 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If their team is as shit as in the previous game, then it's a must game for McEachran... Lampard has been playing quite a lot recently, only break coming against Everton. So I hope it's Meireles, Romeu and McEachran in midfield with Alex, Luiz and Bertrand in defence. But we'll almost certainly play our strongest team I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazón De León 58 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'd like to see Romeu and Josh get a start in this match. Also want to see Mata, David Luiz, Torres and Meireles and PLEASE AVB DONT LET BOSINGWA PLAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton 2,120 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 At Genk they are confident for the game, all due to the great performance against Bruges last weekend, where they come back from a 4-2 losing to a 4-5 win. Mostley thanks to De Bruyne.In reality they will have a tough game again against Cfc. But never underastimate the power of a home crowd, and we all did see and hear them at the Bridge didn't we? Again i will look at this game in front of my tv with mixed feelings. I expect a great performance from Cfc after the sad loss last weekend, still i don't hope it will be a walk over like two weeks ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodojojo 510 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Drogba is available and with Torres needed for Blackburn, I seriously doubt AVB will start Fernando 3 times in a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 this game will prove nothing.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ye Drogba is probably the right choice to start against Genk because of his suspension. I'd like to see thisCechBosingwa, Luiz, Ivanovic, ColeRamires, Romeu, McEachranSturridge, Drogba, MataThough by the same token I don't expect Josh to start or Mata to start.

Kojo 4,676 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 CechBosingwa-Alex-Terry-Cole/FerrieraMeireles-Mikel-McEachranSturridge-Drogba-Anelka/MaloudaWe seriously need a bigger squad, it's solid to rotate these days...Anyway i picked Bosingwa to play so we can play Ivanovic right back against Blackburn, Luiz can come on for Terry later on in the game, Mikel reason being is i want Romeu playing premier league games and getting into the Premier League pattern, McEachran needs to start.There is something incredibly wrong if Lampard starts there a 33 year old man who keeps playing almost 2 full games every week... give Sturridge a chance to get himself back on track after his poor performance against Arsenal and with Drogba... we don't have an option because for some reason we decided to choose Kalou over Lukaku. Left wing Mata needs a rest, i hate to put Malouda there but we have no choice and i want Anelka to get into a premier league pattern, and i will never ever put Kalou on a formation line up ever, even if we where down to 10 men and all others injured, i'd rather forfiet the game. But anyways... this is what i think is the wise choice, Genk will be much better so expect a challenge, and for fuck sake this maybe some belgium team but i will be extremely dissapointed if i see us playing that high defence line again.

Tortilla9 390 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 According to @BluesChronicle (Dan Levene who is CFC writer for Fulham Chronicle) on twitter: Mikel and Drogba have not travelled to Genk for Chelsea's Champions League match, but Jon Terry is in the squad.

Tortilla9 390 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 @chelseafc: Paraphrasing - Drogba didn't travel to Genk due to having screws removed from his arm (surgery after breaking his arm before last year's WC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Luiz need to play....If that's aimed at me, i said that we should bring him on later and balance with him and Terry, giving them 45 minutes each, because i want them to be the starters against Blackburn.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Drogba will not play; he just had screws removed from his arm. I assume they're from when he broke his arm vs. Japan.edit: didn't see Tortilla's post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
