LeonDavis23 371 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Really bizarre line-up to say the least but at least we will have a fresh Schurrle and Oscar off the bench. Surprised to see Torres get the nod over Eto'o.Oscar hasn't played since sunderland? SHould be fresh by now We Hate Scouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Poor Oscar... wouldn't be surprised we are in for a n10 next this summer...As it should be because he's simply not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think that, on paper, this is a brilliant lineup, except for Torres. Im not saying this to bash on him... but the way we're gonna play Id rather see Eto or Ba. Torres usually does pointless runs and loses the ball alot.Anyway, I think the formation will be played something like this: (with our 3 CBs sitting deep and only use them in set pieces)Schwarzer Azpi - Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Ramires - Luiz Willian - Torres - Hazard I predict a 1-0 win.

communicate 2,703 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Azpiliciueta could be right back and Ivanovic central back, then its 5-2-3. He could be CM then it's 4-3-3, or he could be RM, then it's 4-2-3-1.We will see what it is in one hour. Or all of them play as cb ans we play 9-0-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This is far too defensive. seriously where is the balance?Where will the creativity come from, Ramires,luiz and azpi in midfield on paper looks quite ridiculous. And why has Rami been chosen ahead of mikel who was arguably motm in the previous encounter and given the season the Brazilian has had. . . .Not happy with the selection at all.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Poor Oscar... wouldn't be surprised we are in for a n10 next this summer...I still think he's more a pivot player next to a destroyer than a n10 anyways.When next to a hard worker like Willian, and in front of a pivot, you need to have more creativity than he has.

Nike 373 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I guess Jose plan is to keep it at 0-0 and than bring in Oscar later in the game for the win..... BUT wtf, 6 defenders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrus 422 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just saw stats - Torres scored 6 in his last 6 starts in Europe, is it true?I. Am.

DYC. 7,542 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't like the line-up at all. I mean, 6 defenders? And again no Schurrle.Less excited about the match, will have to wait and see. Henrique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
