YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 We've got Stoke, Southampton and Arsenal in the space of 8 days after this so I'd be inclined to rest the likes of Mata, Hazard and Ba.

Backstreet09 499 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have this sweet feeling , actually it's Rafa's statements which are pretty clear that Both Torres and Ba are going to start against Swansea . It would be no more than a treat to watch Ba going for all those Long balls so Torres could be in the centre , Fernando long awaited hattrick is on the cards people P.S : you may say I'm a Dreamer , but i'm not the only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBlue 82 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Honestly, I don't have any problem with Torres in the starting 11 for this. If he does bad (which he will probably) then we can still throw Ba in. Ba should be able to play Stoke, Southampton and Arsenal without needing a rest.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 With Swansea now having an FA Cup replay against Arsenal, it means, just like us, they'll have 5 games to contend with over the next 2 weeks including the 2 semi final games.Our next 5 games are - Swansea(H), Stoke(A), Southampton(H), Arsenal(H) and Swansea(A).Swansea's next 5 games are - Chelsea(A), Everton(A), Arsenal(A), Stoke(H) and Chelsea(H).

themightyblue 443 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Squad really is looking small to be honest, not good. We need to rotate effectively in these next few weeks, for this game I'd go:TurnbullAzpi Cahill Ivanovic BertrandRamires LampardHazard Oscar MarinTorresHilario, Luiz, Cole, Ake, Ba, Piazon, Ferreira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The first half hour of the match was even more sweet everyone here who said buying a striker would solve all of our problems , should watch that again lol and it actually proves most of are miseries are caused by our inconsistent midfield , when they got the hold into the match , our striker got involved and he scored . Tell me, how does half an our of football of a game which we won 5-1 and our new striker scored 2 be an evidence for our inconsistent midfield with a new striker not being a solution??? How are 30 mins of football more of an evidence that our midfield has been the problem for our striker not scoring than 2 years of frustration with 1000s of wasted chances by him? And Why the hell is it sweet to see our team struggling???Even when the midfield did play badly, Torres always got a reasonable number of chances, which he wasted especially in big games. It is mostly his fault that he did not get more service cos his movment is shit. Demba Ba might only be an averagely talented striker in good form but is in every case an incredibly massive improvement on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Lets find out if we can do well without Mata when we got a striker.I think that is vital. Are we always when Mata isnt on because we lack creativity when he isnt on, or has that issue been striker-related?TurnbullAzpi - Iva - Cahill - BertrandRamires - LampardMoses - Hazard - MarinBa or (Moses - Oscar - Hazard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Had it been some other manager here,Ba would definitely start this one.Lets see how Torres reacts to not being the main man on the pitch.If he can prove his worth by scoring goals(whether they are from 5 yards out or 40) then it will be a good scene for the club.Important thing is for the club to win and if Torres can't help us with that then Rafa must accept it and start Ba for most of our games.
