BluesChick 1,260 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I am so excited the game is on at a time I can actually see it!!! woohoo... now to find a pub where I can go see it!!! at this point I just want them to win... I have my list of players I wish AVB won't play, but honestly, I'm not up for the debate or am I sure that it has anything to do with their form since I haven't seen a game live in so darn long!

whinni09 37 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hutchinson to be on the bench, or asking too much :eyebrows:Would love to see Hutchinson on the bench tbh. As Superfrankie said, I would rather see a game with a true blue warrior than a game with a clumsy defender crying for Juventus on the CB position.

didierforever 7,349 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 need all the creativity we have to win this one and i dont think we should go for anything else than a win before the valencia match. so my team would becech;iva alex terry cole; ramires romeu raul;mata drogba sturridge. i would love to see sturridge as the striker but that would leave the right wing as an option for anelka or kalou who are not at all match fit so i would rather go with these 3 up front.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Don't see why Torres deserves to start tomorrow. He has done nothing of note in the last few games (in fact in almost every game he has played for us) so why should he get a chance to 'rebuild his confidence' at the expense of Drogba who needs to do the same thing. I'd stick Danny Sturridge up front with Drogba. Mata playing just in behind. Even if Drogba can't be fucked he's still be better than Torres at the momentWe do have a dreadful record in early kick offs so I'd be surprised with a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavy Crockett 190 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Mata, Sturridge, Luiz are given starters to me now..shame Bertrand is left back, would definitely like to see more of him on the pitch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I want the same team that started vs wolves. I don't think Lamps should come back to the side, he had a very poor game in the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't give a shit who starts up front, both are playing shit so both are equally wank at this present time. Play both I just want Romeu to play and cement a spot because he aint had a bad game yet and should carry on until he does. Mata and Sturridge i'm sure will play. Think we'll win this, got a good feeling for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5221 91 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 forget the striker, the most important thing for us is the midfield 3. If Romeu Ramires Mierlies play we win this game if mikel plays instead of romeu and Lampard instead of Mierlies we wont. Drogba is ok up front flanked by mata and sturridge. just hope avb keeps the same side v wolves as that team deserves to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Its funny that we have this debate about who should lead the line, when its the defense that screws up game after game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'd love to see this type of formation, but I like Meireles further up the ground creating since he has good vision and a soft touch when it comes to finding the wingers with a ball over the top. I think Romeu in for Lampard and placing him in the hold position you initially had for Meireles would be a good idea.Yeah, my midfield would have been Ramires - Romeu - Meireles. I was jsut talking about the formation.Diamond?Hum, yes and no. There are two options. Either we use the diamond, or we use a 4-3-3 remixed, i.e. a formation with a midfield which works as a classic 4-3-3, but instead of a flat front three we would have a playmaker behind two strikers (like Argentina played in South Africa, if my memory serves my right). I think we should test both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
