Closed FC Nordsjaelland vs Chelsea

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

Ummm...Not to be THAT guy but we are playing without a true defensive mid. Would have much rather saw Romeu get a run out with Ramires in the pivot than Lampard.

[didierforever 7,349]

wanted romeu to play.

[Wavy Crockett 190]

co-Romeu for Lampard

[Jase 43,479]

Ramires and Lampard in the double pivot. Don't like that very much. No proper defensive midfielder. Risky move from RDM. And slightly disappointed that Azpilicueta is not starting tonight. Would have played him tonight & utilize Ivanovic against Norwich.

[Stingray 9,441]

No .... why no Hazard ...

it's the CL and it seems everybody forgot what this kid can do. I'm sad :-) but I love the fact Chelsea is playing tonight :-)

[Kieran. 6,317]

No .... why no Hazard ...

He's played a lot and could use a rest.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Ramires and Lampard in the double pivot. Don't like that very much. No proper defensive midfielder. Risky move from RDM.

I dont like it either, but I dont think it is risky. It is probably the only game he can do it. Certainly wont do it against Juve or Shaktar...

[Stingray 9,441]

He's played a lot and could use a rest.

I know but I love it when he is around. Just being sentimental I guess :-)

[Pizy 17,860]

I get fucking Cluj/United match instead of ours.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If we dont win this game because of the fact we dont have an out and out DM in our midfield then we have BIG problems. I am not too worried. We should dominate this game and create a lot of chances. Still need to be a bit wary but Lampard and Ramires should be plenty good enough in there.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Good lineup, at least RDM has stopped that BS defensive winger thing.

[jmarlow 458]

it will probably be more of a 4-3-3 with Oscar, Lampard and Ramires as a midfield 3.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yay, time to talk about us being European CHAMPIONS. :blue scalf:

[edetarod 2,155]

don't like that line up

[Rmpr 8,977]

Stream?

[jmarlow 458]

Benfica vs Barcelona tonight as well what do those two teams have in common? oh yeah we spanked them both last season on route to becoming European Champions!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

It's hard to judge from RDM's lineups what's actually going to happen. When we have played with Oscar, Mata, and Hazard in the front three, we've generally actually played more defensively because Oscar drops deep. We're off to a great start so am not going to question RDM at all and it seems a perfectly reasonable lineup to me anyhow. (Good rotation while keeping strong side.)

should be good enough to win without too much stress ...................hopefully
