Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I highly doubt any Spanish PL players will be called up for that match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LayZ 201 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I do not think it should be compared to, it´s only Hull game. The team & its players need time to get acquainted. Also, from tactical point of view, these players should be there. Meaningless games ought to be boycotted, I feel.Much easier said than done I'm sure...besides none of the three are shoo-ins in the spanish first team,denying them opportunities to represent their national team may not be good for squad moral...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 4-3-3 perhaps? Depends on if KDB's fit though. Also means Jose has a chance to use (waste) Oscar in a central midfield position toooooo....

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The depth in our squad means I'm not worried whatsoever about these three missing out.Would never have been able to say the same if we were in a similar situation last season.Mata's not playing? That's okay, we have Oscar/De Bruyne/Hazard/Schurrle/Moses. No Azpilicueta? Cool, we have Ivanovic/Kalas who can easily slot in. No Torres (lol)? It's okay, we have Lukaku and Ba coming in. Even Rooney potentially.Squad depth really is a wonderful thing.My starting line up vs Hull, providing everyone stays injury free:CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikel - RamiresOscar - De Bruyne - HazardLukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I like International football less and less.I'm all for club football. That should have been posted in the unpopular opinion.Anyway... at least it's against Hull and not Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Much easier said than done I'm sure...besides none of the three are shoo-ins in the spanish first team,denying them opportunities to represent their national team may not be good for squad moral...Denying them playing for Chelsea just might be even worse. After all, Chelsea is the club that´s paying their wages.Meaningless games are not needed. These players may get injured & who is going to replace them, then ?

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 International football is so superfluous. At least Mata is not nominated for that shitl. Can't we just declare all of our players unavailable at least for these ridiculous friendlies? Or simply abandon International football in general.
