CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I know everyone is saying that we should start Sturridge instead of Torres, but I think he should start instead of one of the three maestros. We played a very tough game on Saturday and have one of the toughest game next weekend we need to rest our key players, and let's face it, Torres is not one of them.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/news/12040/8187833/Mircea Lucescu hopes Chelsea will realise they made a 'big mistake' in not meeting Shakhtar Donetsk's asking price for Willian when the two clubs clash in the UEFA Champions League.Willian has been a long-term target for Chelsea, with the Brazilian reportedly the subject of a failed £16.7million bid in January and a £27million offer in the summer.Shakhtar coach Lucescu was prepared to let the playmaker move to Stamford Bridge, but has accused the European champions of failing to appreciate his 'true value'."Willian was far away from Chelsea," said Lucescu, whose Shakhtar side entertain Chelsea on Tuesday evening."They didn't even get anywhere near to our requirements, having done nothing to make my promises to Willian come true."Speaking specifically about the amounts, they officially offered the sum for which we had bought him young."I would really like them to highly appreciate his true value and realise that they made a big mistake."Lucescu also confirmed Chelsea had been interested in defender Darijo Srna while Carlo Ancelotti was in charge at Stamford Bridge.He said: "Several years ago, I had a conversation with Ancelotti, and he was interested in Srna."My wish is that, after Tuesday's match, Chelsea get interested in all of our players."

meetdoscar 335 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A few people want sturridge to b our no.9 but I think RDM prefers Torres as a starter bcoz he offers height to our team both in attacking and defending set pieces and I also agree with RDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prefers Torres because Torres offers more with his workrate and creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nando 106 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If someone would accept a draw, before the game have even started, it's them not us.About the Sturridge-Torres thing, I'm now curious how would he perform as a CF with the bad boys behind him. However, realistically we will see that in the second game against ManU tbh. I don't think RDM will make any serious changes though, if he decides someone needs a rest, he'll just sub hum. Let's just hope, we get back to London injury-free and with 3 points in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sturridge and Torres are virtually the same height. He prefers Torres because Torres offers more with his workrate and creativity.A height difference is not virtual on the football field. Torres is taller and has a better leap in addition to his work rate and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Titus bramble? no. Yaya toure, fellani, witsel, etc more like it,Just because its "fashionable" at the minute for all your players to be small and creative dosent mean a bigger player cant do the same job.Ridiculous.I also never said just because he's small he's no good, i said having too many small players on the field at once isnt good, so dont put words in my mouth dear.Ashley cole is a player unto his own he is an athlete and is far too strong for his size, its what made him so amazing as a player,Something marin and mata dont have in strength btw, but its ok IF you have the physical side in your locker.Also, oscar isnt intimidating on the field, regardless of how he plays, its a physical thing, you dont see anyone pulling out a tackle with him like you would see with say, Ivan. I think you've missed the point.Theirs hardly much point arguing with you tho, since you have oscar in your name and profile pic, obviously your opinion will be fairly bias.....You would also fucking swear passing didnt exist before barca's tiki taka, seems people think if you dont have a team of creative tiny players the ball never touches the fucking ground....what a joke.Tbh all your points are pointless since we are doing very well with oscar and his cohorts for cfc. Just Enjoy watching them even our rivals are pleased to watch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again @ the 3 point lane match. There were some unbelievable passes coming from El Nino. Ok he doesn't score all the time, but the 3rd goal was due to his positioning. Look @ Mata's run. There was gaping hole in the spudz defense, due for their respect of El Nino. Not sure if Danny Boy Stud demands that type of respect yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Danny Boy Stud demands that type of respect yet.it is has become a myth that "sturridge does not pass the ball". he does it and moreover he does not lose as many balls as nando does. as far as respect is concerned, u can gain that only if u play and score goals and get a name for urself. sturridge has not got any chance this season because of nando and his injury.sturridge deserves a fair chance with those 3 behind him for 90 minutes. he will murder the goalie. look at sturridge's movement for the 4th goal and compare it with nando. if sturridge was not on the pitch then mata would definitely have to go for goal. and that is the kind of difference sturridge can make. atm torres's striker instincts have taken a hit for some reason and sturridge can give us the extra dimension because atm it seems we are playin with a false nine.

That play started w/ a Torres pass from the back to Mata making a run up the right flank. Mata passes over to Ramires, who does a rebona, but Walker intercepts. You already know the rest. So again, you prove my point. Torres was in the back so Danny Boy makes the run up top. Again, look at the third goal. Two players cover Torres for a reason. I am not so sure that they would cover Danny Boy the same way. I think a winning a Gold Boot in the last Euro helps Torres demand respect. Bro, I have no reason to argue w/ you. It's my opinion & you have you're own. I rather just cheer together for Chelsea. Hope we get all 3 points tonight, but truth be told, the match vs manure is the one we all want.

Peppen 934 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mixed feelings about this fixture. Just have a feeling that it's not going to be as easy as many of you expect. I'd field near strongest line up, to put us in a comfortable position in the group, and then take off key players if we are leading by halftime. Have a feeling it's like the game in Monaco, but hoping I'm wrong.Going for 3-1 Chels, but will certainly not be a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
