Madmax 9,219 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't get the idea of starting both Romeu and Mikel. Why play 2 DMs AT home against a Championship team(no offence)?None taken. Not DMs per se, double pivot in central midfield, like against Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 ---------Cech-----------Bosingwa-Cahill-Luiz-Bertrand-----Meireles----Mikel------Sturridge---Mata---Malouda-----------Torres------We have Citeh 3 days after, think we need to make a couple changes, especially given many players played 120 mins yesterday.Agree but luiz maybe carrying a knock....and wat about romeu .....romeu instead of mikel....bettr passer...gud starting point for our attcks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 JT is just recovering from injury, Luiz should start.Luiz played for abut 20mins while injured. The man needs to be rested.Finally, Malouda should be rewarded for his decent performance against Napoli with a start.No idea where that came from. He did nothing wrong, but neither did he do anything remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Luiz played for abut 20mins while injured. The man needs to be rested.No idea where that came from. He did nothing wrong, but neither did he do anything remarkable.I always said Kalou > Malouda, but the former has been invisible in just about every game he's played since returning from the ACON.Malouda was good (at least better than normal) when he came on against Napoli, and should have had an assist after winning the ball back very well.The 1st part - JT just had surgery, he can't start this game and also the one against Citeh.Luiz probably had just a cramp.

francozola 2,040 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Really shouldn't risk playing those who got knocks against Napoli. Yes, the FA Cup is important but the games that we have coming up (City, Spurs, Benfica X2) are more important. It's Leicester at home. We can do without 2 or 3 of them.

Honestly think its VERY important to win the FA cup but i always do. I wouldnt start the likes of JT and all but id certainly have them on the bench just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have no problem with that. Drogba definitely on the bench. He needs to save his energy. Play the fresh legs of Torres/Sturridge/Kalou/Malouda/Lukaku who should be good enough as well. I'd rest Essien too he must have been completely knackered after Wednesday. No idea how he lasted the 120! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
