KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Romeu should start this match. I really don't know why he is isn't playing. At the press conference RDM was hinting that their won't be too many changes. Mata could be rested, we could bring him on as a sub if needed. Drogba needs to be rested for sure. Same with Lampard. Essien is not the player he used go be but I think he can still do a decent job against Le Arse. Rest Ramires, Meireles (or Mata), Drogba, Lampard, and MikelI also agree with a previous Post. If Sturridge doesn't start this game it's grim signs. Under RDM he has become a squad player and if it continues like that I think he'll be on his way soon.

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Drogba really has to play, he scares the shit out of Arsenal but i just fear that Torres will play and have another mare like he did in the home game. Arsenal play the same way as Barcelona so it will be a very good time to play them, it'll be like a practice session for Tuesday and i really hope we can beat them. Cole also must play. CechBosingwa - Cahill - Terry - ColeEssien - Mikel - MeirelesMalouda - Torres - SturridgeIt will probably be the team and it will probably get beat but it's a squad game and they have to chip in.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 games are coming so fast now ...think we will have to start rotating the fans soon not to worry, that happens naturally after a sustained period of success/failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I honestly wouldn't change much, same as I said about the FA cup. These big matches require big players and big players respond favourably to these run ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 CechBosingwa - Cahill - Terry - ColeEssien - Mikel - LampardSturridge --------------- KalouTorresSturridge is a must, he's the most freshest man we can play, if Kalou plays he can tracks back for Cole and Essien will provide good cover for Bosingwa. We have a lot of momentum and Arsenal will have seen how disciplined we were against Barcelona. Also, they'll be without Benayoun, Arteta & Wilshere. Their midfield will look weak.. They'll try to get Diaby fit, Ramsey will play and they'll probably have Gervinho on the wing. The game will be won in the centre of the pitch, so we have to dominate there.

CFCinUSA 7 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think some people may be overthinking this. The priority is the CL. Think about it, we have a very ligitimate shot at getting through against the best club in the world and playing in the finals of the CL. The discussions about the importance of the Arsenal game are all revolving getting into the CL next year, and of course that's a goal too. But let's not always be planning for the next year. This year we have a real opportunity in the CL, and we have to keep that at the top of the priority list. Plus, as another poster said, even if we do lose to Arsenal that doesn't mean CL hopes are dashed, not by a longshot. When you get the chance in the CL, you take advantage of it. The time is ours to do exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 We have more chance coming 4th than we have winning the ucl. Tottenham are looking like losing every week, we need to get this 4th spot because we'll be very lucky to get away with a good result at the camp nou. Just because we won, doesn't mean we're nearly through. We need to at least get a point at the Emirares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicManMata 24 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Le Arse just lost to Wigan. We have points to work with now. If we beat them and win our next one, we are one point back!We need some rotation to happen, but still field our strongest available lineup for this one, IMHO.Torres for Drogs perhaps?

Rambo 1,729 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Rest Ramires and Mata. I'd put Bertrand over Cole as well but don't see RDM doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSanti 290 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 CechFerreira - Cahill - Terry - ColeMikel - LampardSturridge - Mata - KalouTorresDrogba must be in full condition for Barcelona game. Ferreira is far better in defending than Bosingwa.Sturridge is a must, he is fresh, needs some games to play. Mata is a must, our creativity is nowhere without him and also I don't think he should play at Camp Nou, he is simply useless in games where we park the bus because he is player that needs a ball. Kalou should fully rested so he should play.Lampard is a player with huge physicall fond, I think he will be OK, also Mikels is full of energy allways, but he can be replaced with Ramires I guess.
