TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think we'll see a few changes for this one. Most players have played 2 games already this week and we play again on Tuesday, so a rest would be beneficial. Good opportunity to get some new faces in the lineup. If Sturridge is fit, I am pretty sure he'll start. Lampard should be rested. Cahill will almost certainly play . Might be a good match to rest Hazard as well (he's not going to play every single match). I can see a whole lot of rotation coming as the games are going to come fast and furious for a while. I'd expect that every one of our usual starting XI will sit out one of the next two matches (except Mata who has been rested recently). Will be interesting to see how RDM manages it.

Jase 43,479 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just want to point out, United play Liverpool at Anfield and City host Arsenal at the Etihad this Sunday. And we face Arsenal next weekend at the Emirates. Need the 3 points this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 CechIvanovic Cahill Terry BertrandRomeu MikelMoses Mata HazardTorresPretty sure Oscar and Sturridge are injured and so I'd go with this lineup. Would go with Ivanovic over Azpi purely because we'll need some height and physicality for corners and throw-ins against Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bertrand might get a LB start in the next couple of games and Romeu might get his first shot as well. I think Stoke would be the best game to rest Hazard as he gets fouled a lot and Stoke sometimes foul often and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,533 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 can't turn this into a slump. need to get a move on in the league now. up the ante and pull clear of arsenal and manchester city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Obviously it's a game we must win, at home against a mid-table team. I just hope Robbie shows some balls and starts Sturridge and Moses. Ramires and Torres have done nothing to warrant staying in the team. without a 20 goal striker, we can say hello to 6th again.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not going to post any formations because it seems RDM is still stubborn to make any dramatic but needed changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,964 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I espect Lampard to be on the bench, as RDM always says when there are three mathes in one week, some players will be rested. If now Moses and Sturridge won't play, then I don't really know. Tjis will be a physical battle and I am not so sure about Ramires and Bertrand. Moses is a must for this game. Oscar can be in troubles against such a tough opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 1. If Danny is fit, he needs to start this.2. Romeu needs to play for at least 20 minutes. If he is confident enough, start him even.3. If I see Ramires as RW, then RDM is a bloody moron.4. I want to see Moses get some decent ammount of playtime aswell.Here's what Id chose:CechIva - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikel - RomeuMata - Oscar - HazardSturridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hazard could use a rest. We don't want to do to him what we did to Mata last season. Oscar should be nailed on to start. Marin should come on for a some minutes (I assume he's fit by now). We need to win this. Lets not slip into a rut here.

Rahul Haque 57 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 using the full squad is important, so far rdm has only shown faith to his go- to guys such as obi mikel and ramires. both players have been well below par since the beginning of the season. lampard is old, he needs to be rested and kept fresh. cech azpilicueta cahill terry cole mikel romeu hazard oscar moses sturridge subs: turnbull, ivanovic, luiz, ramires, lampard, mata, torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 This again lolYou guys over complicate things, formations, tactics, philosophy, Pythagoras's theorem etc. I'm bringing football back to basics.Sometimes to win in football you have to score goals. IF Chelsea score more goals than Stoke chances are good that Chelsea will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
