Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Looking at other leagues, I really believe we have a decent opportunity to become back-to-back Champions!RM and Barca dont look as sharp and dangerous, Juve has quality but we are better, Bayern players crack in big matches and we can win against any english team.That said, it does not mean much. I did not believe we had a chance last year and look what happended (I would not change anything).Shak 0-1 Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I doubt the Shakhtar fans will give Terry stick if he plays, they'll probably be cheering him.90% chance they wont, but funny thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Shakhtar haven't been defeated since November 2011 if I'm not incorrect. They've been on a 25 game winning streak, having won 12 out of 12 games in the league this year. This game won't be easy at all, I'll be delighted if we come through with 3 points.

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think azpi,terry,moses and studge should start(with an eye on the game against manu).I certainly would not mind a draw with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCount 146 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ramires - Mikel for meLampard would get exposed & found out in a tough game like this? Lampard was playing big tough games before rami was even on a adult team.Some of the treatment of the older experienced legends around here is disgusting,No wonder teams like arsenal win fuck all and are left with no leadership or experience with this kind of attitude flying around.

Stats 7,142 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think azpi,terry,moses and studge should start(with an eye on the game against manu).I certainly would not mind a draw with them.We should play our best team available and not worry about the Manu game. It is 5 days after the Shakhtar game, enough rest off period for the players. Ivanovic will and should start. We have to go in the intention of ignoring the Manu game because for now this is our most important one. Get this game out the way then we worry about Manu but this isnt an easy game so I am sure RDM will play his team who he feels is best suited for the game. The only change I many expect is Terry in for Cahill/Luiz and the rest of the team to be the smae as the one who beat Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team in the world sticks with the exact same starting XI every game that matters. It's just not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 cechazpilicueta ---- cahill ---- terry ---- bertrandromeu - lampardmarin -- piazon -- mosessturridgeUnderestimate Shakhtar much? No doubt the second toughest match in the group after Juventus away and they're not to be taken lightly. Obviously some players should be rested because after this game we face United twice within a week but you're taking it way too far with that lineup.CechAzpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - ColeMikel - LampardMata - Oscar - HazardSturridgeThat would be my starting eleven. Mata and Hazard off early if the game is over and they're not needed anymore so they could rest as much as possible before United and also Moses and / or Marin could get some minutes.

Blue Roar 240 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 This game is on delay here in india. Looks like I'll have to block out all media and this forum for 4 hours so i won't know the result till i watch it. That's going to be tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am not saying that the players who would come in are awful or wilweaken us but I know for a fact RDM will start Torres over Sturridge again IMO and can't see Ivanovic being dropped for this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
