Demba Ba

LOL the Phantom of Torres (instead of the Opera)....

Awesome! Go BA!

With Cech and his headguard and BA with that - it will soon look like a SPEEDBALL Team (awesome MegaDrive game!)

Darth Vader's Team.

I love how that mask has been branded "29 Ba"

[termninja 5,290]

Haha it awesome that he has both his name and number on that mask along with the blue color

Ba should start against Wigan since he's cup tied to the Europa League.

Demba Ba and the club doctor in the plane going to milan to get a mask done...

Why do they have to go all the way to Milan to get his mask done?

Italian fashion. Have you seen the face-masks on the catwalks of Milan this year? Just gorgeous.

Torres will play against Sparta so Demba Ba will play against City this is good

SURE?

[DONI. 1,291]

SURE?

Not at all,when you have Rafa

So we have basically turned the league's 3rd highest goalscorer into a squad player who gets some game's here and there .

he has been bought to come on in the 80th minute so the fans can give a standing ovation to Fernando when he comes off

Probably one last effort to boost Nando's price before selling him in the summer?

I can't believe I'm about to say this but, I do see Rafa's logic.

I mean it does come down to this, Ba can't play all of our games. We've already played 40+ games and it's only February. We'll know have Europa, EPL & maybe even FA cup fixtures which could total us playing 3 game in 7 days. To keep Ba injury free and fresh Rafa will only give him 90minutes for one game and 60/30minutes in another, resting him for a third.

We've got Spartak & Brentford coming up between now and Sunday.

Luckily, we don't have to travel to Moscow but only to Prague to play Sparta

But the question remains who plays the "bigger" games? Torres got the start against Arsenal. Don't think we can afford to have him start at the Ettihad.

rookie error.

Yep, this is true. That would also depend on the tactics of Rafa too. Certain teams, we could do with Torres' team-player profile and others Ba's simple goal instincts. It'll be interesting who lines up in the Europa, will be an indication of how seriously we'll take it.
