Closed Man United v Chelsea

[IkE 267]

Ba for both.

Indeed, I would rather play with a tired guy than playing with Barbie seeing the ball around him and doing nothing.

[Laylabelle 9,536]

Urgh crap fixture espically with Webb as Ref and Rafa just won manager of the month....eeeek!

[Jase 43,479]

Hell no, Ba can play both games. Torres got his EPL chance against Liverpool and he failed, he deserves no more EPL games. Ba can play both.

Ba for both.

Agree with both of you there, definitely but you know with Benitez, that ain't gonna happen. He is likely to go for Ba in 1 game and Torres the other.

Yeah, there is that distinct possibility, In which case Ba for the tottenham game as that is by far the most important one. Though i still hope Ba plays on Sunday and performs so Rafa and picks him vs spurs.

Ba is the type of player to play against united because they always struggle against physical target men strikers like Ba, Drogba..etc while Tottenham is the type of team that you want to run behind their defense so Torres would be more suited for that game.

In case you guys have not know this, Howard Webb will be officiating this encounter...again, just like he did in the FA Cup tie back in March at OT.

lol. tired. He does rarely play more than once a week. I think 2 games in 4 days will not impede him in any way. He is a professional athlete FFS. we always tend to overestimate that fatigue. it is one thing playing 80 matches per season, esp as midfielder in 8 competitions for which you have to travel all over the world and an completely other one to play once per week up front without too much travelling stress

where he did ok in a match that was hard to officiate.

Torres is especially suited for shit teams with shit defenders. There is not really ONE thing torres can do better than Ba. Every striker can run behind defenses and if Torres had done that with decent enough timing, he would not have struggled for goals against any decent side with Lampard, hazard, Mata and Oscar behind him.

I disagree, Torres has his speed (even if it has decreased a lot). His movement to the flanks (running away from goal) creates space for Mata and Hazard to run into.

But he usually loses the ball on the flanks or his passes are to unprecise and he is not really much faster than Ba.

But imo, Demba Ba's straight runs creates more space in behind, than torres runs to the sideline.

He occupies defenders, gives mata and hazard and option and often leaves a pocket of space in behind.

Azpilicueta - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole

Mikel - Ramires

Oscar - Mata - Hazard

Not saying that Torres is in anyway better than Ba, but just that if Fernando has to play a game, I'd rather he plays the one against Tottenham.

Win or Win

[English Freak 456]

Expecting a draw...hoping for a late winner.

I seriously can't believe this. They're really taking the piss. It's just like every time we face United Webb's the ref. Every single time.

[Strike 7,516]

Don't fancy JT vs Chicharito

[Backstreet09 499]

We'll win this one pretty easily, Terry would start and that could make way for Luiz in the midfield again #FUCKOFFMIKEL

Ba to score a hattrick

[Henrique 9,133]

Ba for both.

Ba, Torres, Ba, Torres. There is no difference at all in the end of the day.

[Badboy 1,526]

Ba, Torres, Ba, Torres. There is no difference at all in the end of the day.

Oh come of it Henrique... Ba is clearly the better player for us and he should get the nod ahead of Torres and he probably will.
