The Big Drog 1,110 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Didier has found his form lately and should now be rightly recognised as the first choice striker at the moment, considering his age there is no need for him to play a Carling Cup game, give the great man a well deserved rest, let Torres or Lukaku start in this and return Didier to the starting 11 for our next Premier League game. With Terry suspended I expect a line up like this.CechBosingwa, Alex, Luiz, ColeMeireles, Mikel, LampardKalou, Torres, MaloudaOr something along those lines.

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i dont understand how you have come to this conclusion to be quite honest. Just because he is a few years the junior of some of his teammates that dosent mean he shouldn't be every bit as fit. My dad was telling me the other day how Alan Hudson was running the Chelsea midfield at Josh's age. Give the guy a chance, if your gifted you should play if your young or not in my opinion.It's not about age or anything like that, whenever i see the reserves play and often McEachran runs the show until about the hour mark then disapears into thin air and playing for the first team is much harder and much more demanding even more so if you're team get reduced to 10 men which is why he was probally the "fall guy" when the subs were needed to be made.Van Der Vart often gets subbed around the hour mark for Tottenham for the same reason and when he doesn't how many times has he impacted a game late on?

Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ^ Terry is suspended. Malouda or Kalou, maybe even both will play 'cos it's the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 yes this is the Carling cup but come on, this is Liverpool, they have just beat us at the bridge only a week ago, they've beat us 3 in a row and 3 out of 4 at the bridge in the league. I'de like Bertrand and McEachran to play more but this game is personal, this aint just a Carling cup game. If we lose against them again, i'll personally hang myself from the nearest tree. CC or not, we have to get through this tie no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Think torres has to start this game, look to give Danny a rest because he is rapidly becoming one of our most important players so maybe nelks on for him. Surely bertrand has to get a go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't know what lineup to expect tomorrow. AVB could go for a grudge match and play his strongest team or keep his promise of starting youngsters in the CC. If he wishes to use this game to give pitch time to all the players that have not been getting any then I would expect:TurnbulBos-Alex-Luiz-BertarndMIkelJosh-LampsKalou- Torres -MaloudaBut I really hope Romeu gets another start just so I could see him play along side Josh. Those two together are magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
