The Big Drog 1,110 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 why would you put Hazard on the left and De bruyne as number 10?I dont think blistering pace is something De Bruyne is blessed with. He is more effective from a central position. I think he will eventually end up playing in one of the two deeper midfield positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The team Id like to see start is.CechIvanovic, Cahill, Luiz, HutchinsonMikel, LampardMarin, De Bruyne, HazardLukakuWith lots of options to come off the bench later in the match.It's pre-season, I'd like to see more experimentation such as Bamford given a chance, Debruyne at CM...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm bored so thought i would make a more detailed version of what i would do.1st Half ...........................................Hilario...............................................Ivanovic......Cahill..................Chalobah..........Ferreira................................Lampard..............Mceachran.......................Benayoun..................Hazard...................Marin...................................................Lukaku...................................2nd Half.......................................................Turnbull...........................................................Ivanovic/Kane*......Cahill/Hutchinson*...........Chalobah/Luiz*........Hutchinson/Saville**.....................................Mikel...........................Essien......................................................Ramires/Kakuta***.....................Piazon........................De Bruyne......................................................................Lukaku/Bamford*.................................................* - To come on for the last 30+ minutes.** - Hutchinson to come on at around the 60th minute for Ferreira at LB, then Cahill for Saville at around the 75th minute so Hutchinson would move to CB and Saville to LB.*** - Ramires to come on for Benayon at half time, then Ramires to come off for Kakuta at around the 75th minute.

Piazon and maybe Bamford should get some minutes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure RDM will mix and match the team during the pre-season and make massive changes in games to give every play time to get into full match fitness.

Malouda proved that a few seasons ago.Ye that's true but most of the top wingers have blistering pace. I think of him as a bit like Schweinsteiger, started out as a winger, ended up in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Its funny how everybodies forgotten about Daniel Sturridge.... one of our best players last seasonFirst of all Sturridge wasn't one of our best players last season, he was only good for the 1st half of the season! And no one has forgot about him! The reason why no one is mentioning him is because he won't be taking part in pre-season as he is going to the Olympics!

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hutch has played at LB under Mourinho on previous tours, I remember him doing that against the Suwon Bluewings in 2007. If he doesn't play, Malouda can do a job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
