Spike 12,049 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah I feel the same way, I was all for getting rid of Mikel but he really has become a better player. He is not world class but generally he is very solid and completes his role well ( something sturridge needs to learn to do).And he is not even 25. Mikel could still become Makelélé esque yet. I'm being optimistic but if he keeps up the progress of the last few months, he could become a a great CDM or dare I say it; a great Regista!Look at Alex Song this year, amazing progress. I hate seeing that Gooner bastard surpass Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igi26 346 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I expect winning. They don't have big squad for two wins in three days, our squad is bigger and we should win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rising Sun 711 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 ferreira -- cahill -- luiz -- bertrand--------- romeu -- lampard--- studge -- meireles -- kalou---------------- lukakulampard off for ramires at 60 minsI wish i had your optimism, but our team simply does not have the sort of depth that is capable of winning such matches ATM..... It would be a big risk to go with that formation, considering Lukaku has not had any game time this season and sturridge will do the same selfishness that he is now known for.... Romeu is a mystery.... and Meireles Lampard midfield will be equivalent to the performance of essien lampard against wigan....We need Ramires and Torres playing....

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Not to state the bloody obvious but we need another win tomorrow but we also need to try and get a decent performance. Ess and Flo dropped please and surely Romeu to get a chance. Clint Dempsey to be a pain in the hole as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable...Everyone here can be interested in whichever match is more mouth watering.... the PLAYERS need to keep their eye on the ball as far as the PL games are concerned.....

YuriZhirkov 106 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Fulham miss some good players like Pogrebnyak, Murphy and Johnson but they still have a really good team. Will be extremely hard.. Cech - Bertrand - Cahill - Luiz - Ferreira - Lampard - Mikel - Ramires - Meireles - Torres - Drogba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxgba 306 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm expecting another gritty performance from us. If we're to beat Fulham, it won't be emphatically - far from it. Fortunately, Fulham will be suffering from fatigue, too. This is a very tough, intense period of the season and it's another must-win game. I'm hoping for a better performance than against Wigan, but a similar result will leave me happy. I'd like to see Bertrand retain his place at left-back after his performance against Wigan. He doesn't see too much playing time so should be fighting fit. Drogba ought to be rested with the big game against Barca coming up, replacing him with Torres up-front. Other than that, I'm not too fussed on the line-up, so long as we come out of the game with three points and no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If we win this, it will be an amazing achievement. Fulham are such bastards to us and love to make it impossible. It's going to be really hard. Not to mention they are on good form i think, and that clint bastard dempsey will be looking to score against us.We need to show we want it more, that way we will win.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Very important to have as many fresh legs in as possible - Mikel, Kalou, Ramires, Torres should all start. Lamps and Cole also, if they're fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
