Jase 43,479 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hmm, to stick or to twist now? Newcastle have lost & Spurs are drawing at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Can't afford to play Lampard, Drogba, Cole and co. in case they get injured. We'll be well and truly fucked if that happens.Maybe we should start Bosingwa hoping he will get injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_3d 1,140 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I honestly don't care no more about this game.After winning the FA Cup, now just focusing on the CL.However if we can field a lot of youngster I will watch it. Want to see how they do.So I hope RDM does not takes risk with any players that will play in the final of the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 It's nice to know that no one can overtake us aswell, still not nice to lose to Liverpool though.Lets just play squads what will benefit the CL final, like try and get Ferriera or Sturridge in form, also try and see if Torres can play deeper and play just behind Drogba or something, so we have a better chance against Bayern.

Jype 6,398 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle all slipping up this weekend complicates things. It gives us a small glimpse of hope of a top4 finish but with Munich coming up the question is do we try to win both of the remaining games with the strongest available team and hope for at least two of the other teams challenging for the CL spots to fuck up next week or do we rest key players for the final? A couple of days ago the answer was clear but now not so much. I would probably still play a weakened side in the league games and if we win them then so be it. Two out of Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle losing points next weekend isn't very likely and it's not like if we play a slightly weakened team we're certain to lose. Mata, Lamps and Cole have to be rested but even without those players we have decent chance of winning both our games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Spurs drew 1-1..even if we do win though still 2 points behind Spurs though they have Fulham which are hardly a pushover.Then again we have Blackburn who can be werid and if they need the points...hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nando 106 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 RDM is great at rotation, so we'll win tomorrow without using everyone who's likely to start in the CL final.We have somewhat of a chance to finish in top 4 and we should take advantage of it. Going to Munich, already assured CL for next season will relieve the pressure from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 We have to try now, Fulham can tie Tottenham. We win this and Blackburn, we'd most likely be ahead on GD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSanti 290 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Lukaku with Torres in front, humiliating Scums once again and giving us mathematical chance for 3rd place would be aweasome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Assuming we win both our remaining games:If Arsenal loses against West Brom, we can overtake themIf Tottenham draws/loses against Fulham, we can overtake themIf Newcastle draws/loses against Everton, we can overtake themSo at least two of these three have to happen.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Cant exactly do head to head seeing as we drew both games against..we come first in the alphabet gotta count for something Then again no point looking into this to much until after Tuesday.Win worry..dont win..goneeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 We'd at worst have the same GD. Don't know how they break the tie after GDThe amount of goals scored.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Players I would pick for last two games:essien to play on rb, try him before munich, maybe he will do better than boslukaku and romeu to try prove themselves in both matches, lpool is quite big one, good experience for themtorres to try score goals, drogba needs some restdanny to get in form somehow, i doubt because his selfishnesbertrand on lb to replace cole ramires, meireles, iva, terry because they wont be in finalon last pl match, try cahill-luiz duo before munich game (if fit)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
