Kojo 4,676 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Should be, his last game at the ACoN is today.What time?, is it on tv?, might watch it because it's the final isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I agree, their ability strengths lie in other aspects of their game. However they're both a 'target man', to ask Lukaku & Drogba (especially the latter) to play in the a strike partnership where they both play in the centre is a big one. What usually happens with us is.. One of them will go wide. We forced Anelka there, we force Torres there & hell even Lukaku was deployed there once. The squad is too into the '4-3-3' mind frame to try and change that immediately.Hmmm, good point there. But it works fine on FIFA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNKS 508 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I doubt Drogba would play next game for us. Especially after the tournament and travelling back to london. He will probably get a day or two off from training aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Oh what.. I thought we had Napoli coming up first. Anyway, I don't expect any drastic changes. We lack personnel to make any. Maybe Turnbull will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 CechIvan - Cahill - Terry - Bertrand (Luiz if Terry isn't fit)Essien - Meireles (or Ramires if fit)MataSturridge - Lukaku - Lalkovic (or Piazon)just wishes. fully expect Cole, Malouda and Bosingwa to play.Lalko is loaned out to Den Haag til June.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I Love how everyone is giving their lineups when they already know AVB will play the exact same 11 that he throws in every week. Since it is FA cup, malouda might start...otherwise be prepared for the same players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchuka 99 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hopefully Drogba and Lukaku will get time on the field. We need a decisive win here for momentum towards the Napoli game. I wouldn't even mind Kalou getting some playing time; he cant do any worse than the current lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Ivory coast connection will save us and prob the season!! We'll hit that stride where everything goes our way and that's usually in late march till early April. Drogba shows how essential he his to our squad and kalou starts to bag some goals. Also This stretch just showed us why Torres can't succeed here with this current squad. It's not pass and move football that he needs. It's pass to drogba and let him do all the work. And that may be taken as a joke but it honestly isn't. He's the best when it come to strength and skill moves, nobody has that combo like him. When motivated best in world by far. When he isn't, well we know how he his. What drogs does best is get ball dodge man/ bulldoze past him and then creates advantage for us. Torres needs the miss to create thatvsdvantage for him and then he finishes off for them. That's just my opion on the two strikers and there conflicting styles.

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I honestly don't think that Romelu and DD are that similar other than their physical strength (and their looks perhaps). I think every one got a bit carried away with the "new drogba" comparison.Romelu's pace could compensate Droba's lack of it, while DD can create some space for lukaku to run at defenders. Just think how hard these two would be to mark in the box..almost impossible imho.Two good points in that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Torres out of the lineup, who replaces him? aslong as some one does it can be Ross Kemp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ivanovic-----Chalobah------Cahill--------Bertrand------------------------Essien--------------------------------------Ramires-----------------------Lampard---------------------------------------Mata-------------------------------------------Drogba-------------------------------------------------------------Sturridge---------------Drogba's service to his fellow strikers in honestly 10 times better then any MF bar Mata.With this line up i think we would easily progess. With Bosingwa, Malouda or Torres anywhere near the pitch, we are fucked.. Keep them in the stands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Please play the Chelsea reserves team, I want to see a team that actualy wants to be there. And also want to see Lukaku start, and Piazon and Bertrand. And maybe we will come away with a win!But really, I just hope the result on the weekend was enough for AVB to try something different. ANYTHING will do.Saw someone mentioned Ross Kemp to come on, thats fine with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It's pass to drogba and let him do all the work. They must of seen me play Fifa then. Stole my tatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
