Leif 6,006 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 *sigh*I feared RDM would do this. Not even trying Hazard on the wing is a bad move. It's not like Meireles is going to play there any time this season, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyflashman 187 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Pretty much full strength then, given what we have to play with. Expected Marin for Meireles but no matter, looking forward to this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Cech; Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Hazard, Meireles; Lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Torres to get 30 mins I'm guessing, still probably not that fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why Mikel and Meireles Why not? Meireles has usually done well in a more advanced role and at least we'll now get to see Hazard on the wing where I suspect he'll mostly be playing anyway when Mata and Oscar join the team. And what has Mikel done wrong? Granted, Essien has been better this pre-season but seriously, that's hardly a reason to shit all over him because Mikel is normally the best defensive midfielder we have.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 For what it's worth I think it's actually a pretty strong lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Torres = super sub. Quite happy with the line up, Should get to see marin as well at some point... like to try him on the right, sp he can supply some crosses occasionally rather than always cutting in...

Django 83 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Pleased with the side RDM has picked, seems ideal for a late pre-season game. Good to see Lukaku getting a run in the side over this tour, he's still very rough around the edges but this is a good learning curve for him. Hoping for a Torres cameo goal.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Like Sheva rightly pointed out, only one more game after this than the competitive season starts. Beating Man City will give us a psychological edge all year.Chelsea arsen't arsenal or spurs, the team picks itself, no matter how excellent Hutchinson or Lukaku or Bertrand play, they will not start and that's a FACT. So why tease and toy with us RDM? The power got to his head, mourinho would just play the best man for every position in every game.cechiva luiz terry colelamps mikelrambo mata hazardtorresbut the main thing is last season we had bosingwa to cover for iva if he was injured/suspended and also paulo (which by every pre-season match seems unlikely) but bosingwa is already gone and paulo should go and hutch and bertrand will be their automatic replacement which was not the case last season.lukaku was 4th in the pecking order for strikers last year(5th if u count anelka) but he is 3rd now and has got a real shot atleast as a sub which was not possible last year as either drogba/torres started and then anelka/the other striker came as subs. we have cut down on our squad a lot and i think the youngsters WILL play a big part this season. specially bertrand and hutch.

Ollie 4,400 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Fuck sake Robbie, you have Kakuta and de Bruyne who are trying to make a name for themselves and you're playing Meireles as a LAM, that makes absolutely no sense. Hmm ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
