HRiver 1,512 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 So, David Luiz, the guy who is Chelsea's worst central defender, the guy who was responsible for all 4 goals in the Super Cup, is starting. Time to congratulate QPR fans for their win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Expected lineup. RDM has shown nothing to imply that he believes Moses or Oscar are ready for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ramires on the wing again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Parking the bus to QPR are we? How dissapointing RDM...How on earth are we going to keep possession of the ball. Hope Oscar comes on very early. Same with Moses. Leaving too much of the creative work to Hazard. If this backfires get ready to face everyone's wrath RDM...I can only assume RDM expects QPR to come out at us all guns blazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Cahill has to play for me, Zamora could bully Luiz, Cahill had a rest too where Luiz didn't, and he played bad for brazil apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Expected lineup. RDM has shown nothing to imply that he believes Moses or Oscar are ready for a start.This is defensive overkill though...I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to be Chelsea manager next season anyway but the constant defensive tactics are not helping his chances one bit.

Jase 43,479 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sinclair starts for City against Stoke at the Britannia and here, RDM refuses to play Moses or even Sturridge out wide and takes the cautious approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Expect no wing play. Everything cramped up in the center. QPR park the bus, frustrate us and we won't have any width at all. Until Moses and Oscars come. Our wings are gonna be super super shit even when we have potentially 4 wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Expected line-up really, Mata given a rest. Hopefully there will be the right time for Oscar and Moses to play a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 RDM is clearly worried about there attacking fullbacks Fabio and Bosingwa, both will get forward so it makes sense to play Bertrand and Ramires, as they will need to stop them as Ivanovic and Ash will be busy dealing with SWP and Park so a smart move from Robbie.

I thought RDM was an attacking coach at heart. How Mistaken I was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If we get the win then its all good.... But he has to be willing to change things extremely early if things are not going to plan.... And by early i am talking about 35 mins into the game... Putting it simply if you are the QPR defence would you rather see Ramires Hazard Bertrand torres, or a variation of Moses Oscar Hazard Torres, i mean its not even close.

Kojo 4,676 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I understand balance in the team, but Ramires doesn't even offer any balance, he actually plays as a RW rather than going more centrally and running back more or covering in midfield. He's always on the RW trying to take on players and cross, ah for fuck sake this is going to be one hard game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavy Crockett 190 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 at least we have a strong bench... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I just don't understand Ramires playing right wing. Particularly when Bertrand is playing wide on the other side. Maybe if we were playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid then it might be understandable but it's QPR, surely we should be taking the game to them. In Moses and Oscar we have two attack minded, technically gifted players but neither, let alone both, start. It's perplexing that we are playing such a counter attacking suited side against QPR.

Exactly. RDM is way too defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't understand the criticism to his tactics since they have yet to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
