[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

This is RDM team for the final: Cech, Cole, Luiz, Cahill, Bosingwa; Mikel, Lampard, Essien, Mata; Kalou, Drogba.

Essien!? Is that really the team?

1-0

DD's goal.

I love you man, if your name was 3 letters shorter, you would be my one and true love.

I dont think RDM will replace Ramires with Torres or Sturridge.

OH so it's not? Just your prediction on who he will choose.

[Henrique 9,133]

Essien already played a Final, I think he will start. Wont be sad of Torres start alongside Didier.

We need this kind of player in this kind of match.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

We play Essien we lose the match.

Bayern will try to spread the game out and get their wingers into the action. We have to absorb that and I just hope both Robben and Ribery can have shockers in this game. The only player we have got that can win it for us is Drogba and I think if he is on fire Bayern will have little chance. The only problem I have is Bosingwa !

I would not go that far but I understand why you would not want him in the team. The truth is Essien is finished, he just can't run any more.

TX, do you remember when we first announced the RightToPlay deal on our shirts being immortalized if we won the final. Still believe that to be an issue?

I'm still against football shirts being over cluttered, but yea.. it's somewhat discrete and doesn't really take the focus away. At the time, reaching a Champions League Final seemed impossible.

Ramires was a true winger. It will be torres or sturridge replacing him

When was the last time Drogba played a full Final and we lost it? Any Final.....

He was an Idiot the last time he got sent off, or else we would have had the Champions League.

Fair enough. If the defence turns up, we have a gr8 chance and as for bosi - mikel AND the right winger(torres or stur) have to help bosi out. Thankfully it is contento behind ribery.

Now with all this attention on the wingers, the central players havent been mentioned enough. Schwein, kroos, muller , gomez are a formidable threat as well

Experience.counts for nothing without talent. Mikel and lampard at CDM would be better

Thats a good point. Ramires played like a winger in most matches under RDM.

I'm praying for a pre-match bust up between Robben, Ribery and Lahm. It has happened in the past, hopefully it happens again
