Milan 17,957 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah, good point about Malouda. Benayoun is definitely gone and everything is indicating that Malouda as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Why is everyone so pissed at Bertrand starting?Because we're playing a shite Wigan team lucky to be playing in Premier League and not Sunday League and who cannot make 3 passes in the row and be 10 man and the referee behind the ball and blablabla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bertrand has some amazing Pace as well and has a nice high role where he has a bit more license to run at defenders which should hopefully cause them some problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_91 90 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 there only one that we can judge before the game!!! our Slow Double Pivot is sh*t.....I agree. Think thats our main problem. We seem to have to play a defensive winger because lampard cant play in the double pivot. Seems to me that, if we have to sacrifice a winger just to accomodate lampard, then we should probably replace frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I am looking forward to see your reaction when Bertrand sets up a goal or maybe even scores one. Or simply doing his job properly.Bosingwa, Kalou are out so you simply need someone who gets your stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramires when he played on the right hardly was lighting it up in attack... Bertrand could well be more offensive and act like a more conventional winger, we also still have a couple of players called Mata, and Hazard who are defeinately not defenisve and Torres who we all have high hopes for... TBH its a sensible decision imo for not starting sturridge against wigan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sturridge on the Bench with Bertrand starting on the left... Sorry, i like Bertrand but that is beyond stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 So 7 defenders and 3 forwards. Positive football here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oooh the doom and gloom party has started early, I see Don't want to see this place at the end of the match if we don't win by 8 goals. Seriously people chill. Bertrand did excellent in the community shield and has fully deserved this chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wigan caused us some big problems in past, I'm glad Robbie is taking a careful approach against them.In fact they caused us problems everytime. They kicked our asses when we lost 3-1, they're the first team (rather Manager) who understood that blocking the wings and put under pressure Mikel was the key to dominate us tactically. For two years, almost every team uses a similar game plan against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, i like Bertrand but that is beyond stupid.I disagree, we have 2 strikers, so it would be stupid imo to play them both at the same time. Sturridge can come on as a sub if we need him or if something happens to torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ollie, it was you who wanted Bosingwa so badly to play as a winger. Here you have it, only on the other side. Bertrand has pace and crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bertrand is a left back.Boyce is a wing back, Moses makes great runs. It would be dumb to play Sturridhe who's as effective defensively on his wing as Luis Suarez in front of goal to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We need Moses. Sturridge probably has no future under RDM. So another a striker is also needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
