Kunter 22 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes our first team needs a rest but Benitez keeps repeating that he´s here to win silverware because he knows it´s his only chance to stay.So he will play our strongest team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As long as lampy, and mata get a rest then we can still play a strong team... JT has to play for match fitness and his leadership skills especially if we don't play all our regs. Oscar playing at CAM would be a good thing to see, as he hasn't played there in a while and it is his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Won't be saying that if we reached the final. We are not Arsenal, happy with a top 4 spot, we want to win.No. We should rest few key players of course but nothing drastic. no need of calling a horde of academy players and telling them to try and beat brentford. a cup run won't hinder our schedule much seeing as it is weekend games and with a good cup run we can build confidence. remember last year? later on in the season...also, I fuckin want QPR in the cup so that we can decimate those sissiesTbh I dont care if we go to Wembley or not. I just want a top4 so we can move on and forget about this season...I know this is selfish and strange, but I am only posting how I feel about it. I could be here pretending to like the FA Cup (this season only) and motivate everyone just to increase my rep, but this is not me. I am only trying to be honest!P.S: It would definetly be awesome to eliminate QPR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If all we achieve is a top four finish this season, then it has been the biggest failure in the history of the club - transitional season or not.This is ridiculous. We are Chelsea FC and we have to win a trophy this season.No season in which we dick Everton, Leeds, Spurs and Arsenal away from home is a bad one.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If Marin does not start this game then he should really consider a loan move elsewhere.It would be really sad if he's on the bench for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Chelsea FC and we have to win a trophy this season.No season in which we dick Everton, Leeds, Spurs and Arsenal away from home is a bad one. Why should a club whose supporters attack their manager and one of their main players win a trophy? Some of you are delusional.The club decided to buy young starlets from other countries - lack of experience and unfamiliarity with the PL. The club decided to play "entertaining" football and ignore the normal balance between defence and attack that is needed in any competition. So why should it win trophies? Chelsea bans a talented player and sells others. So why should it win trophies? Rafa has stopped the rot and brought some rationality and experience. But the problems need time to fix.

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't see RB playing any of the following names in this match : Malouda, Benayoun, Ferriera, Ake.My dream line up for this game would be :------------Turnbull-------------PF---Cahill---JT---Bertand-------------Luiz------Oscar--------------------Marin---Benayoun--Malouda-------------------Torres----------------Also since Hazard is out for a min. of 3 games ... time for Marin to step up and show his worth. The lad can't ask for a better time to show his worth ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would love to see Malouda back and Banayoun get a chance. It's Brentford ffs. Rafa moaning about lack of depth is contradicting himself if he's not gonna bring them back into the fold for a game like this. Malouda has a good cup record with us too (Especially as Wembley). JT MUST START! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We can probably make Yossi and/or Flo useful for this and possible the next couple of games by at least putting them on the bench.This guy is still here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 This guy is still here?Exactly we couldn't even get rid of him to WEST FUCKING HAM who signed Joe 'shit since 2010' Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the probably the board's decision to leave Malouda in the exile.Exactly we couldn't even get rid of him to WEST FUCKING HAM who signed Joe 'shit since 2010' ColeAnd he's injured at the moment.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Chelsea lack physical presence.Current team cost around 290m but there is hardly any decent player on the bench who could come in & really help the team.In tomorrow´s game I would love to see Mata, Oscar, Ramires, BA, Lampard, & even others being rested.I do not care who plays tomorrow, players must be rested, I feel.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The excitement of the game for many fans in London might be well justified but from other point of view Chelsea needs to win PL games instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.What rot has Rafa stopped? There was no rot.Rafa could've easily won the CWC, and could've easily been in the COC final right now too. He blew both. I'm failing to see what he's done that's so special compared to RDM. If we had RDM still here with us I doubt we would've been worse off. And it's not every fan that attacks Rafa - many didn't want him here in the first place, are we supposed to sit there and accept something we don't agree with? Christ. You're delusional.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It'll be very interesting to see what sort of team Rafa puts out today. I really, really, really hope that we don't feel a strong team today, we need to rest several players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
