different level 1,056 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Whatever you do Rafa please rest Mata, we need him for the PL games next week. Then again it's hard to think of someone who could replace him in the attacking trio. If it's Bertrand then Cole has to start and he also needs a rest. You can't put Ramires because him and Lamps are the only two available players for the double pivot. Piazon was loaned to Malaga, Benayoun has a small injury and Flo Mo is with the youngsters. TurnbullAzpilicueta/Ferreira Terry Cahill Bertrand Lampard Ramires Marin Oscar Benayoun/Malouda/??? TorresSomething like that, unless Rafa doesn't decide to give some of the youngsters a chance.

manpe 10,861 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's the probably the board's decision to leave Malouda in the exile.I think it's beyond doubt that this is the case. Something happened during the summer which made him fall out with the top hierarchy. I don't expect Rafa to have enough power to bring him back. I don't know if I even want him to, he sucks plus he hasn't played a single game with the new players, and his motivation is in great doubt. Leave Malouda where he is, I believe there are genuine reasons why he's getting the Bogarde treatment, it's highly unlikely two managers would completely overlook him if there weren't.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Not only Mata but 4-5 players should be rested. Just play some youth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Not only Mata but 4-5 players should be rested.

Ramzi 233 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lol people before the season are like "Our team wastes our young talent never give them chances not even in cup matches!" and then a cup match against Brentford comes up and those same people want to put out a full strength squad.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I wouldn't mind a team like:----------Cech---------Paulo-Cahill-JT-Bertrand----Ramires---Ake------Mata----Oscar----Marin----------Torres-----------It would be ideal if Mata is rested but we have no one to play instead of him. The Piazon loan is really baffling, he could have started games like these, certainly a better option than having nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa even went to see Roman recently asking for new players. If I were him, screw the FA Cup & play juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,147 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I also feel that way. Rafa even went to see Roman recently asking for new players. If I were him, screw the FA Cup & play juniors.No way. Some of us actually care about the FA Cup and it is a serious competition that I would like to play in and playing junior just underestimates the competition. We are the holders and we can't go in to the game thinking we can win with any team put out. It is right that Rafa takes this game seriously, regardless of how tight our schedule is.

Since, Chelsea do not have enough players, then PL should be his priority. He was already told about it by the board. Sorry, FA maybe next year.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8440846/FA-Cup-Brentford-manager-Uwe-Rosler-ready-for-Chelsea-test-in-fourth-roundBrentford manager Uwe Rosler expects Chelsea to underestimate his side in Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round clash at Griffin Park. European champions Chelsea will be taking on the League One Bees for the first time in 63 years - Chelsea claimed a 1-0 FA Cup third-round win in front of 38,000 fans in that last meeting - in the west London derby."They will take the game seriously," said Rosler."They can only win the FA Cup and the Europa League and a club like Chelsea has to win trophies each year."Chelsea will still have an extremely strong team. I still think their players will underestimate us. It's a human reaction."I was as a player the same and I think that is our chance. We have to believe in our chance and we have to go for it."
