KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well that sucks. He will almost certainly not be risked then. Torres it is then. Also Pacquiao, no way is Piazon going to start. The only games he may play are carling cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also shoots like a striker should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We have beaten Stoke every single game at home since they returned to the premiership. I expect another win here, last season we were quite fortunate to win but regardless this should be another 3 points and the history goes in our favour. Oscar had a brilliant game against Juventus but I think RDM might be wise to rest him for this match due to the physicality of Stoke City and due to his slight build and not being in England for long may be best if he was a sub as they will really want to rough him up. I was watching the matchnight phone in after the game yesterday night and they made a good point in saying that because of one brilliant performance for Oscar, everyone will start labelling him the next so and so. He don't need that and now Mata is fully fit and I would say this is a game we need to take advantage of due to the other big teams fixtures. Also play Hazard as he is a key player and we need him playing and rest him against Wolves and also give Moses a start as we can get at Stoke's fullbacks for pace.CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry - A.ColeRamires - MikelMoses - Mata - HazardTorres/ Sturridge (If fit)Oh not this shit. First off its very poor generalization that Stoke do nothing but kick the shit out of players. They can play decent football but do have the long ball option if needed. Also just because a player make look small and lightweight does not mean they can not handle a bit of physicality (look at Hazard), also so what, every time we face a team tat might be a bit physical means that we never play him? When do we actually determine he is capable of playing "physical games"? He is going to have to start in them sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar is younger and still has maturing and buliking up to do and RDM is wise to slowly introduce him into the starting 11 for every game. If Oscar had not scored that wonder goal yesterday many people would have expected him to be a sub. We still have many other wingers/attacking mids who deserve to start as well. I would have no problem seeing Hazard-Mata-Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo talks Blue 85 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I hope I won't be seeing any more careless mistakes up there in the defense. It's just getting tiring to watch those terrible lack of communication. Cahill should be in the starting 11. Hope RDM understands. I predict this to be a clear win for us Maybe something like 3 goals to 1 Lets hope for the best. KTBFFH!! :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 i wanna see this line up pleasecechiva cahill luiz coleromeu mikeloscar mata hazardsturridge(if fit)/mosesi would choose iva over cesar for the physicality n aerial challenge of stoke. same reason of mikel. if we play torres against these guys it will be another day of playing 10 vs 11 with a ref and a zombie in blue on the pitch. if sturridge is fit he deserves a start otherwise i have heard moses can play as a CF so that is good enough for me.i definitely predict a chelsea win as we played really good football with the only problem being defensively and i dont expect even some1 like mikel to make 3 defensive errors in 3 fucking matches (qpr- zamora, and juve).

I would have no problem seeing Hazard-Mata-MosesYes but he was incredibly influential before he got subbed , controlling the tempo when we got the ball, influential flicks on and help setting up attacks, dropping deep to retain the ball. He is Brazil's No.10, is 21 (not a 16 year old still wet behind the ears) and already has a lot of tools in his box to play a big part on the pitch. And again, when do we decide we crossed the line and can start regularly. In two years do we still keep saying "oh he is not strong and bulky enough to do well in the league, has not started many games, lets keep it that way". Bullshit.

Bullshit.I still don't take my comment back that maybe he should be a sub against Stoke due to their physical nature. If he starts on saturday fair play to him because he has earned it but I would understand why RDM would decide to drop him to the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ivanovic will actually be useful. His physicality and ariel ability will probably keep Azpilicueta out of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOSS 372 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We should play with a very attacking line-up, considering how Stoke will park the bus. I hope Oscar,Mata and Hazard start together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Brilliant strategy, why haven't we thought about this beforeThe teacher ladies (even the male ones) at school often told me I was special and an oddity.
