Kieran. 6,317 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Do we rest players? If so, who?One eye must be kept on Tuesday. Barcelona has to play Real Madrid before the match vs. us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingPapers 194 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The next game is the best time to face Barcelona. They have El Classico this weekend the biggest game in La Ligua. Two team that really hate each other, they will be really tired after facing a strong Real Madrid. It will be a great time to park the bus at their home. If we can score 1 goal on the counter we will be safe!We can rest the important players for this match and save them for Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Drogba must play. It's Arsenal, who go all to pieces just at the very mention of the name Didier. Even if we're talking about Didier Deschamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yum 15 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This is a huge game.CechBosingwa-Cahill-Terry-ColeEssien-Mikel-MeirelesKalou-Torres-MataStill a strong lineup, but we can rest Ramires, Lampard, and Drogba. I want those three fresh for Tuesday. I don't know if we should start Mata on Tuesday, don't think he'd play a big role.EDIT: Dang I forgot Drogba kills Arsenal. Drogba to come on in second half.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ramires can play. He never tires. Mata is a definite no. Perhaps we can risk Sturridge on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 4-2, I reckon, Drogba x 3 and then one from Kalou.van Persie to score 2 meaningless consolation goals after the 80th minute.Arsenal are tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 ----------------------Cech---------------------Bos-----Cahill----Terry--------Bertrand (if Fit)-------------Essien--------Mikel---------------Sturridge------Mata---------Kalou-----------------------Torres------------------Tough lineup to choose for RDM, considering the 2nd Leg at Camp Nou is very much alive. Mata is a difficult one IMO, do we play him against Le Arse? I have a feeling Mata may not be in the team for the 2nd leg against Farca. He didn't have a big impact and we could go with a more physical player as we're going to Park the Bus big time there. Plus the first leg showed that we actaully didn't need a Mata type player. We were very effective in the long balls to Drogba. So IMO we don't HAVE to play Mata in the 2nd Leg and can Play him against Arsenal. Sturridge can playin this game, we won't have to defend as much as we did against Barca, Danny's speed and trickery will be great here.Rest Lampard, Drogba, Ramires, Cole, Meireles. Bring on Drogba later in the game so they can Relive their Nightmares of the Drog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
