chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Being rested for Naples I would guess.Much as I'm bewildered about not including Mata in the starting lineup, it does make sense! March is going to be a very difficult month for us considering what fixtures are coming up, and the overall form that we're in! Resting Luiz and Mata is a good move I think!

petr.breu 1,618 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 And it would be 4-2-3-1 Čech Ivanović, Cahill, JT, Cole Mikel, Meireles Ramires, Lampard, Kalou Drogba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ziggles 110 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Decent team, we'll win this.Good luck RDM, hope it's a great day for you and everyone else involved.Also, looks as if Essien could play in Naples. Or he's just being dropped. Or injured. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What about Essien,Mata and daniel??.... But not Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Fuck me. No Mata or Sturridge? I hope you know what you're doing, RDM. Official site says it's 4231, meaning Lampard in the middle and Ramires + Kalou flanking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavy Crockett 190 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 the only real positive I can see about this lineup is that there will be massive pressure on the old guard todayfrom their point of view they will have to show that AVB's tactics were the reason thing were going so bad and not because they weren't up to task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 A rest for Mata makes sense, he definitely needs it. Sturridge is being kept fresh.. I'm sure Roberto's got an eye on Napoli with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
