Kezza 1,965 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The game's definitely not on TV and even wiziwig lists no available streams.I'm told there will be a Chelsea TV audio stream here ---> http://www.flashwebt...&autostart=trueLet's see if that's genuine.Just watched the double being won on that. Its working good so far. 2000 FA cup final on now!Seems weird John Terry being referred to as "a youngster on the bench" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingEssien 127 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cech; Bos, D Luiz, JT ©, Cole; Ram, Meirel, Lamps; Mata, Torres, Mal. - subs: Turn, Fer, Hutch, Bert, Romeu, McEach, Lukaku.For Fucks Sake.Bosingwa needs to be out after last weeks defending.Cole hasn't been near his best for a long time now. Big reason being his age and he doesn't have the energy to play every game yet we still play him when we have Bertrand.McEachran I need to say nothing about we all know his talent, not starting him is a joke.Mata - if he gets injured in this match, how fucked are we for the rest of the season? What's the point in risking that, bring throught Lalkovic.Torres - okay he needs time/games etc, but he's gonna get plenty this month with Drogba gone, why not play Lukaku get a bit of competition in the team cos if Torres cos off injured we've got no fit strikers for a month.AGHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why? RDM said strongest lineup will play. What were you expecting?Bosingwa being as far away from the first team as possible.Mata being rested.McEachran and Bertrand starting.That's just off the top of my head.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bosingwa being as far away from the first team as possible.Mata being rested.McEachran and Bertrand starting.That's just off the top of my head.Not criticising your opinion by the way mate. It's clear we're taking a strong run at the FA Cup, unlike the Carling Cup where AVB stated in advance we'd play the youngsters.Bosingwa is our strongest RB at present (pains me to say), Hutch lacks match fitness and although it would be nice for him to get a cameo, he isn't a starter yet.Without Mata, we seriously lack creativity. He can also provide the spark for Torres to score.If McEachran plays, he is cup-tied and cannot feature for his loan club (if they are still in the competition, that is).Our next game is in a week, so it's not like players are going to be in desperate need of a rest.I agree its a rather conservative lineup, very safe options picked in each position, but this is exactly what the management said would happen, so I don't see how anyone can be surprised. Let's start with a strong team, get control of the game, and then put on some youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Good thing about this is we avoid heartburn over not being able to watch the youngsters play due to non-availability of streams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Virtually the only thing that could make the managerial decisions in this game more disappointing would be a Ferreira for Bosignwa sub midway through the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The only one that's really baffling is Bertrand not playing, if were wanting to go on a strong run we cant just play young players for the sake of it.Watching the United match? Paul Scholes out of retirement how desperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Our management team have mixed up the "strongest side" with the "oldest side" I fear... Ancelotti, is it you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If we won't even start youngsters against a mediocre Championship side when will we? Must be so demoralising for the youth knowing that AVB doesn't even hold faith in them against a team like Portsmouth.Although you have to consider it from AVB's position. He's under a lot of pressure to get results at the minute and losing in the 3rd round of the FA cup is the last thing he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
