YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 RDM will definitely change the formation. He always played the 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 at west brom, and im quite certain he will change our formation to that.It will sort our midfield out as we will have more bodies in midfield, and even if we get caught on the counter we will still have 6 players + goalie behind the ball.Even if our players will not play well, we will still remain solid, like the old days, and we will nick the points with such a formation/strategy.Our midfield formation was so freakin weak with AVB , that the ball hardly ever posed any danger... and when we lost the ball and players got a bit lazy/tired the other team managed to get in a goal. I have a good feeling with RDM, his tactics are more suited to the current crop of players that we have.My Formation: cechivanovic luiz cahill Cole Meireles Romeu/EssienRamires Lampard Mata Torres (Sturridge and Drogba are off form like no tomorrow, Torres deserves his chance)ORIf RDM wants to go really attacking like he did sometimes at west bromthen Cechiva luiz cahill Cole Essien Lampard ( Essien holding while lampard has freedom to get in the box from time to time)Sturridge Mata Ramires TorresFuture is bright. Present will improve.Would you care to explain what the HELL Torres has done to deserve ANYTHING? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavy Crockett 190 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 expect same old shitty lineupwe should win still, even regarding the state we're inreally feel indifferent to watching this game though. if we win good, if we dont I wont be too suprised.Lamp, Drog, Malouda or Cole in starting XI and I'll opt for the fine football currently on display by A.C.

Mr. Ziggles 110 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Lukaku on the wing? Really?Let him have some freedom around, idk. Time to experiment I guess, using the same old same old won't work, if we played Mata there, we can play Lukaku there. He can't be too bad.

Nothing confirmed, just my rumours.let's trade Torres for Robben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rising Sun 711 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Would you care to explain what the HELL Torres has done to deserve ANYTHING?Well, its not about him doing anything to deserve it, he will be hungry to prove himself .Torres was dropped when he wasnt performing. So the same fate should fall on drogba and sturridge, as they are not doing enough to win their positions.We can try our Lukaku too.Drogba really doesnt do much and is really ineffective during most games this season. Torres on the other hand creates quite a few assists and good link up play. He isnt great either but not as bad as people make him out to be. I think both Drogba and him provide something different, but when drogba isnt providing what he is good at, Torres should get a chance. Or Lukaku. Or sturridge.During many games, Drogba starts and then Torres comes on as a sub in the 80th minute, because drogs isnt being able to do his thing. Their is nothing wrong in trying it the other way round. Torres starting and if he cant do shit, drogs on 70 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSanti 290 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Birmingham are facing a player shortage ahead of the home FA Cup fifth-round replay against Chelsea with eight senior members of the squad cup-tied or injured.Defenders Stephen Carr (knee), Steve Caldwell (ribs) and David Murphy (hip) are out, Peter Ramage is cup-tied whileCurtis Davies is doubtful through illness. Pablo Ibanez is the only fit centre-half.In addition, midfielders Andros Townsend (cup-tied) and Keith Fahey (groin) are unavailable. Strikers Erik Huseklepp(cup-tied) and Caleb Folan (ineligible) also cannot play.Seems like slight chance for our players to win this match.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 give the players who give a fuck a chance. Don't even have Lampard, Cashley or Torres in the squad and give the young ones a chance.
