Ollie 4,400 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Play Drogs, play Malouda, play Meireles, play Cahill, play Sturridge, play EssienGet the win somehow, go home, rest.Another huge 3 points tho because Tottenham are away to Sunderland and Arsenal have City. We can close the gap to at least one of them. I think City will beat Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 RDM will stick with the same 4 2 3 1 formation so then I think he should pick the following to start the game-CechBosingwaCahillTerryBertrandEssienRomeu(if fit) otherwise RaulMata(play him for 60 minutes and then replace him with Lampard)SturridgeMaloudaDrogba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It's a must win game especially with the games Arsenal & Tottenham have got as Ollie pointed and RDM must/should/needs to rotate wherever necessary and not risk any players carrying knocks or niggling injuries.On Wigan, we seriously have to get our heads right and not get sloppy and complacent like we have in our last 2 games. They are on a decent run of form, losing just 1 of their last 7-8 games and have won their last 2. So, confidence will be high in their camp and remember, they have caused us problems in the past. Adding to that, they're a side who now plays with a back 3 or 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This is a good line up. Would like to Romeu. Is he still injured?I think we can forget about seeing him at all. He seems to be training all the time so something must be going on behind the scenes.... incometax suggested in Romeu's player profile thread that Barca want him back and he wants to go back so we're not using him at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets hope Essien will be back to his normal self. He seems to be protecting his injury which is perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 We ain't been great the last 2 games so apart from the obvious win is like to see a good performance. These next few weeks are gonna require some serious rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 is no one disturbed by the form of ivanovic. i love the guy but his defending has been absolutely dreadful for the last 2 matches. also we should really rest mata. he seems to be at the end of even his reserved strength. lets give the guy some well deserved rest.

kwylino 329 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If we can't beat a team as weak as wigan. then hell we are screwy , ...though im all for romeu starting..hopefully that squishie would play well i guessbut yeah there is completely no excuse for not beating wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 2 games in 3 days plus a midweek game against Benfica means that rotation is a must. Mata has to be rested for either/or Wigan and Fulham because he is getting progressively worse with each game due to lack of rest. I'd rest Cole against Fulham or Wigan too so that he is fresh for the Spurs game on Sunday.WiganCechFerreira Cahill Luiz BertrandRomeu EssienSturridge Meireles MaloudaTorresFulhamCechIvanovic Terry Cahill ColeLampard Mikel RamiresMalouda SturridgeDrogba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaretta985 131 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 it seems we all agree on resting some of our key players. But I wouldn't take this game so easily, if Wigan is in relegation zone (too lazy to check), they'll fight for the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
