Blu4Lyf 46 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well done to KieranVogel for getting the times wrong -_____-You're complaining just to complain. You were complaining the countdown was wrong and you were made aware it was fixed. Why the hell would you use something else? To complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The closer we get to match time, the more Falcao is worrying me. Confident we'll win, but we MUST set the pace and make them play on their heels like we have in our first league games.LINEUP: Cech;Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole; Mikel, Lampard, Ramires; Harzard, Mata, TorresVia an ITV presenter on twitterSays neither Essien nor Sturridge are on the bench.

Leif 6,006 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Not at all happy about Ramires starting if true. Their left-back Filipe doesn't usually leave much space behind him, so if we counter-attack, Ramires won't get too much joy down that side.It's also risky playing Ramires, because he's a pretty awful passer, and one wrong pass can lead to Falcao's head somehow and them leading.Would have made more sense having Bertrand (again) starting on the left to limit Juanfran and then having Hazard down the middle; Mata right.I'm sorry, but I think Robbie's got this one wrong.

Danelka 209 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Fuck it, no Sturridge on the bench.. We are truly fucked if he leaves, because I don't know about anyone who we have been reportedly (not just by random bullshit media) interested in.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I really thought the Moses signing would end Ramires playing on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Oh, and if Sturridge isn't on the bench... surely that means Moses, the closest thing we have to a striker, is, right?(See the problem now people? One injury to either Torres or Sturridge and we'd have no recognized striker to help out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Maybe i'm the only one here but i don't actually care if Sturridge leaves. If the comment bites me in the future then so be it but i just can't see him ever being consistently good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The UEFA site has Sturridge on the bench, Essien is not. Could be wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 More or less the expected lineup but no Sturridge and Essien on the bench?! Are we seriously gonna sell them to our rivals?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sturridge leaving without us signing a big name striker is a horrible mistake. Replacing Danny with, lets say Remy, is absolute madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Maybe i'm the only one here but i don't actually care if Sturridge leaves. If the comment bites me in the future then so be it but i just can't see him ever being consistently good for us.i care from more of a squad depth perspective. if he leaves we have torres and a rw who can play there, if we bring someone else in i won't mind it too much, but we are thin as it is and wouldn't be too pleased seeing him leave. still think he can do well at this club and should get some more game time this year.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 are people mad! if Sturridge is leaving today that will be because we have lined up someone else who will sign today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
