Jase 43,479 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Some team news for this game from RDM's PC:1. Oscar has recovered from the injury and has done some light training today. 50-50 to feature I would say.2. Sturridge is recovering well but not quite ready for Stoke yet. May feature against Wolves in the League Cup next Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONI. 1,291 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 RDM: "We need to re-focus on the league after Wednesday night, starting with Stoke tomorrow, who are always tough opponents."RDM: "Daniel Sturridge is better but tomorrow will be too soon, if he doesn't make the League Cup game it shouldn't be much longer."RDM: "We need to be more consistent in games, against Juventus we did well but got punished for a couple of mistakes."

Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 If Sturridge can't play in the Capital One cup, then we should get Bamford from the reserves to start that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it but we could even try this false 9 tactic against Wolves. We need an option if torres and sturridge both get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many injuries are we picking up It was a pretty bad stamp by Bonucci, and the ref as usual did not punish the Juve player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa 885 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just watched the press conference and RDM said Sturridge is getting back to full fitness but the Stoke game is too close for him... He also said if he's not fit for the Wolves game then he'll be back right after that. So it looks like Torres is gonna start again *sigh* I don't think he'll cause the stoke defence any problems at all. The only way he'll do something is if he 1-on-1 with the keeper... And how often does that happen? Stamford Bridge is really small and it hard to find yourself 1vs1 with the keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 "Oscar has recovered. He did some light training so should be fine. It was a spectacular debut and we hope to see it more often. We'd seen his quality in training but it was great to see it in a big game against brilliant opposition, we're delighted to have him here." - RDM.

Superblue 6,372 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Why not Moses? He played as a CF for Wigan in many matches and he was a CF in Crystal Palace.If he played as the central striker for Wigan it was a handful at best, not many matches.He is far better out wide where he can stretch teams and get more space to run at players. If we had to go for a false 9 then i would play hazardin there over moses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'd playIvanovic-Terry-Cahill-ColeMikel RamiresMata Lampard MosesHazardRamires plays better in the double pivot where he can make those runs. As Sturridge probably won't be fit, I honestly think we would do better with either Hazard or Moses up front. I am fed up of Torres' lack of effort and desire and think Hazard or Moses would genuinely be better options.Then for Wolves midweekAzpilicueta-Cahill-Luiz-BertrandRomeu-LampardMoses Oscar MarinSturridge/ Bamford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's not just about resting Hazard, it's about our lineup. Oscar deserves to start and Mata has been rested a lot recently so should start as well. I think the three of them together is just too imbalanced unless they drop Oscar into Lampard's spot for Saturday (which could make sense).Imbalanced? Man are u high?
