Tomo 21,751 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I've got the feeling that the right-back slot is now Bran's to keep.It should have been the case since 09/10 to be honest, i can only think of 2 games (ironically both at Old Trafford) where he has had a bad game in that position.

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Best possible line up-----------Cech------------Ivan---Luiz--Terry--Cole-----------Romeu---------------Meireles/Ramires----------Lampard----------Danny/Nico---------Mata----------Drogba----------Worst lineup that AVB could name-----------------Cech----------------Bosingwa---Ivan---Terry-----Cole-----------------Mikel--------------------------Lampard-----Mata----------------------------Anelka---------------------------Drogba-----Torres-----I really hope Mikel and Bossy don't start, neither have ever been on the winning side against Liverpool.

Kojo 4,676 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Since 2004 we have lost against Liverpool, United and Arsenal 10 times in 13 with Bosingwa and 8 times in nearly 50 without him Wow, he must be a curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Wow, he must be a curse.He makes a fair few mistakes in those games aswell, i hate singiling out players (im one of the few that doesn't bash Kalou well to the extent most do) but those stats cannot be a unlucky coinsidence, maybe a year ago we could have said so when he played only 5 or 6 against them and they were all under Scolari but AVB and Carlo have both played him in big games with the same results.

dodojojo 510 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If Kalou starts, Torres will probably go emo and cut himself on the pitch. Remember how little Kalou connected with Torres for the Stoke and WBA games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary gordon 1,777 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I just hope Bellemy doesn't do what he did last time he visited Stamford Bridge.. And if Bosingwa is there, we are fucked... I would also start with Drogba over Torres. He still has too much love for the dippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you trying to imply here?Speaking of love for former clubs, I think anyone who watched Drogba play against Marseille last season will tell you he was only interested in interacting with their DD loving crowd. It was quite shameful to watch as a Chelsea fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Marseille fans burnt their Drogba shirts back when we signed him. Of course Torres will say the right things in the press - that they are special to him, but deep down, that cannot be the case. And even if it were true, that he still loves Liverpool, there's going to be none of the histrionics of the Drogba kind. I can understand genuine critiquing of his play, but to come up with stuff like this is utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
