different level 1,056 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 They are a goal down and will be pushing to score, so our wingers will have lots of spaces for cut ins and go on to punish them. An easy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Torres Marin - Oscar - Moses Mikel - Ramires Bertrand - Cahill - Ivanovic - Azpilicueta Cech Rest Mata, Hazard, Lampard, Cole, Luiz and Terry for Man City. With the away goal we really should go through without much problems, even with a slightly weakened team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Nice and easy 3-0 win, with all 3 goals coming after the 85th minute obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm expecting a routine 2-0 win. They'll be pushed forward looking to score as they are already behind the leg. Will leave space for the likes of Moses and Oscar to exploit, as they did yesterday.Hope to see some players rested again. Turnbull, Bertrand, Mikel (for game-time ahead of City), Moses and Ferreira should all feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Oscar = boss in europeShould rest mata in this game, he has to get a rest sooner or later, surely before the mancity game would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just don't concede. A clean sheet is vital to not complicate things and go through with the least possible effort. Mikel is a must start for this one. I expect something like:CechAzpi-Luiz-JT-BertrandRami-MikelHazard-Oscar-MarinTorres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert 130 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The truth is that there are too many games coming too quickly. A manager has to prioritize. But what is more important beating Man City or progressing to the next round of the EC? They are equally important. Laudrup featured a weakened Swansea side against a poor LFC yesterday to save them for the Cup Final and he got thrashed 5-0. If I were Rafa I would err on the side of winning - play a strong side for both matches and hope the players rise to the occasion. I would not play Turnbull. I might play Ramirez and Moses and Mikel.

Milan 17,957 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sparta midfielder Lukáš Vácha after the first leg:How did the Chelsea stars behave off the pitch, in the tunnel or by the dressing rooms?For example, I played against Mata for the second time, we met before while playing for the U-21 national teams. He recognized me, came to me and shook my hand. However, Mata, Hazard or even Lampard were doing something interesting during the game. When they are getting closer to the opponent from behind, they start doing a very quick sound - tss tss. I have no idea why. Maybe to disturb the opponent player, to get him nervous, I really don't know. In fact, Theo Gebre Selassie had told me that in the Spanish national team, every single player does that.

Mustafa 885 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Have a feeling that Torres will start and score and then Rafa, being the knob that he is... will play him in the Man City game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 CechAzpi - Luiz - JT - BertrandRamires - LampardMoses - Oscar - MataTorres Get at least one goal early and sub Mata halftime or 65th or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert 130 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Have a feeling that Torres will start and score and then Rafa, being the knob that he is... will play him in the Man City game.... Must be so confusing being you - worried that the team's number 1 forward will score and that the manager who selected him might then select him again against the champions next weekend. Reminder - Rafa did not pay 50 million for Torres - he paid 20 million and coached him to be the fastest scorer of 50 goals in LFC's history without taking a single penalty or free kick.
