whats-the-mata 10 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 As long as ivanovic doesn't keep getting skinned all game again like he did against wigan we should be able to keep another clean sheet. I really like branislav but I do think him at RB lately has been the reason for RDM playing ramires at RW. So I expect to see the same against Reading and another clean sheet! Roll on the torres goal bonanza!!! ( it has to start soon?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 CechIvan* Terry Cahill Bertrand*Mikel Meireles*Ramires Hazard Malouda*Torres* Ivanovic needs to prove that he is not worthy of becoming the new scapegoat after 2 'bad' performances. Bertrand needs game time and against one of the weaker sides in the league during a congested period this is a good chance to give him some game time. Meireles should cover for Lampard for this game, but Lampard should start on Saturday against Newcastle, just give him a rest. Malouda might play OK but more importantly Mata should get a rest before the newcastle game because he has been playing a lot of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Malouda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 ... Horray for Streams.. EPL have shut down 30,000 streams i read. you should be fine but i wouldnt be surprised if they found way to stop it. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 theres always gonna be more streams round the corner, also so many people using them, it would be fairly pointless trying to prosecute someone for watching it. perhaps if they decided to not limit the number of matches that can be shown on tv then people would not have to find streams to watch stuff. i am sure skysports would be more than happy to buy the rights to a 100 more premier league games as their viewing figures would rocket. oh well semi-rant over lol.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ivanovic was a CB, but imo as a RB he is quite good when attacking but out of pace when defending.Which is why Ramires fits well on the right. He's excellent cover when Ivanovic makes his runs. He's been one of our best players for the past couple of years, so don't know why people are getting on Brana.

DDA 9,938 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Why is everyone forgetting Sturridge exists? He can still play right wing and play there very well all the time he remembers not to be a greedy cunt. Oscar is going to tear the EPL up .... I literally cannot wait for him to express himself fully. Our Mikel wasn't awful against Wigan but let's face it 'tots tv' just cannot defend to save his fucking life, christ only knows who's basement RDM has locked Romeu in. Loving Edens debut... Bringing that urgency to the team seems to have woken a few others up with there speed of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There is an extended highlights program on SkySports 1 at 10:30pm after the game for us UK viewers who aren't watching a stream. I'll try and find one, but I'm not hopeful so I'll probably listen on the radio.I think 2-1. Reading are really going to be up for this, and I just have the feeling we're still going through some growing pains with our new players and finding the balance between attack and defence, also our central midfield looks like it can be walked through at times. A hard fought win with two goals from Torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I hate the way the whole viewing thing works in England. Because its so lucrative to show PL games Skysports etc has purchased a certain number of games so cannot show every game wheras if i wen't to a foreign country like somewhere in the middle east i could see every game on tv.... Suppose we get the advantage of being able to see the games live more often but still, it does get rather annoying... Horray for Streams.. Been broadcast here on tele . Which is good cause Internet is shit and expensive here. Weird how it's not shown in the clubs homeland lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Don't think Mata is tired, he's fatigued and probably isn't excited to see a ball. After the Newcastle game we should put him in a cave until maybe the game before arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Maybe emotionally tired, but he's played less football this summer than a lot of our other international players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar,mata,hazard,sturridge are just awful at defending. Against city after iva was red carded, we were killed on the left by clichy overlapping, against wigan without ramires to help iva, Victor Moses beat Iva again and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing that urgency to the team seems to have woken a few others up with there speed of play.im a huge Studge fan but what i think is the reason i wouldnt and many wouldnt put him in the strating eleven is becasue we only have 2 strikers and putting both on at same time is a bit risky, or atleast in my eyes. i wouldnt mind studge on rw tbh, but i can understand if he isnt played early on but he WILL and MUST get his games. hahaand on the bolded i would give that to Mata. last year it was mata who was the creative master-mind and i think the addition of almost 4 tailismans is whats so fukin great about this squad. think of it, last year mata only had studge and torres who could play fast up top and still managed to get soooooo many assists. but this year he has oscar, hazard, marin, torres, studge. although he wont be LONE STAR, i credit him with bringing that urgency and the beginer to our style of play.

Would be a brilliant way for the players to get a standing ovation from fans and give them that extra buzz for kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
