Closed West Brom v Chelsea

Because AVB thinks he is better on the wing.

Does AVB even have a brain I wonder. Torres and Drogba have been absolute garbage this season. Put Kalou on the wing, sturridge down the middle.

Because AVB thinks he is better on the wing.

Perhaps it is better if he plays Drogba as a striker and Danny as a right winger where he does well instead of benching Drogba and playing Kalou on the wing?

[capriccioso 2,545]

I beg of you Andre, please start Lukaku!

Danny would be better off on the wing for this game IMO considering his efforts against Holland.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

If Drogba doesn't start as a center forward then Torres will be our main striker,there is no chance of Sturridge playing center forward this season and I know that sucks because he is capable of such a role as he is a natural striker.

[Rambo 1,729]

Erm...Why isnt Daniel Sturridge entitled to the CF role?

Because we have no right winger.

Hey Alex you'll love the banter in the away stand at West Brom, I have been there and its a good laugh. Their loudest supporters are right next to you lol a little barrier separates you and them and you exchange chants its a good laugh you'll like it. You're right behind the goal so if we score at that end it will be awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I went in 05/06 when Robben got sent off it was such a tense game because they were all over us for the last ten minutes and when Kanu scored you thought 'is that cunt going to do it to us again?' That was exactly six years ago today!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Right, going to make a day of this, so we're leaving early to get fucking hammered. Innit.

I leave you with a parting gift, one that suggests he will score if he plays...

Drogba has four goals in his last two appearances against WBA. He has 8 goals in just 6 appearances against the Baggies in total.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I wouldn't mind seeing Torres start

[CHOULO19 24,332]

^^

Yep, drogba should be rested for Birmingham imo.

Randomly dreamt about this game...we conceded last minute lol.....tough game and wouldnt be surprised if we do draw...but hopfully can give it everything and go rom it from the start not when we're a goal down

[chrismada9 1,948]

I predict another tough game today, but this s a game we desperately need to win because we've got a host of tough games coming up! Napoli, Man City and Tottenham all in a row! We really need the 3 points here!

[Tomo 21,681]

The Hawthorns has been a good place for us in the past, lets hope it carries on that way.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Lately all of our games have been important ones. This is no different, must win!

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Every game a cup final and all..lets hope they see it that way
