BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 A: play with strong team, but win is mustB: play rotated team with one youth and win is objective, but not must If we play A, and lose, I will be pissed as fuck, not because of potential loss, but because we could simply play some youth instead.But we will win, come on :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think a similar team to the one that started last Wednesday, should be more than capable of getting a win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is the game of Derby's season - nothing will get bigger than this, except maybe Play Off FinalAnybody expecting an easy game is just nuts.Yes they looked shit against Boro, because every single one of them was focusing on this game.High tempo, professional start with the big guns! If we can get to 3-0 at any point, then is the time to bring on the youngsters.I swear - if Jose played the kids and lost 99% of you would go fucking mental and this place would be in meltdown.Just chill out. the young lads will get there chance when ready, or sadly, when a key injury forces it. This is not the season to be experimenting ! We need to win some trophies !THANK YOU!On the Derby argument, I've watched the game and the first minutes - even with Bamfordinho's goal - Derby was high pressing, had high possession and Boro didn't do much. Then they dropped the intensity and Boro started balancing things on the first half and dominated in the second.On the youth, I'm sort of tired of people saying so many things. I want those kids to have real chances. 90 minutes - if was the case - in a dead rubber in UCL will only make RLC's family happy, but that contributes ZERO with his development in the club.We built a strong team because we needed and want to win trophies, it's been a while since we've won something relevant. Now it's not the time to introduce kids, unless we have injuries and suspensions problems and there's no other way. One match here and there, 30 minutes here and there ISN'T developing or giving youth a chance. It's crumbs, it's charity, it's looking nice for the fans. Those kids are TRAINING under Mourinho. He's WORKING with them and at the right moment the REAL CHANCES will come. It won't be some charity game or some consolation minutes that will make us a club that gives chances to youth. Mourinho isn't a manager known for that, but some of the requests around here are laughable. As if one match or two per season is what will make those kids make or break here... As if everyone and their mothers won't be talking all sort of BS if for some necessity one of the kids come and make mistakes that could cost us precious points. It's all dandy and peachy when they aren't there messing up (and what are the chances of them messing up?) and everything is beautiful in a fake and delusional world where letting them play one or two dead rubbers or a game in the least important domestic cup configures as 'developing youth'. Come on, this is charity, not developing youth.Give Mourinho time to work with them and if he continues to sign older player for the positions Baker, Ake, RLC, Boga etc... could at least be part of the main squad, then make your case. Making your case over a UCL dead rubber and League Cup initial rounds matches isn't a strong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 TIL some of us are RLC's family and playing a UCL game is akin to zero development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Wont be a easy game.Strewsbury was far from a walk over and this be even less so.As for youth...no harm starting with one or two.Can be subbed if not going to well and some of our first team players can be dodgy at times.Go for this.A cups a cup no matter how its seen these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 wanted Hazard on the bench but other then that much what I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Strong team but I take it Drogba is officially 2nd choice striker now which is harsh on Remy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Anything other than a comfortable 2/3-0 win with this team is unacceptable, unless the Derby team suddenly play the game of their life. Lets go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Remy must have shagged Mourinho's daughter. Why would you play Drogba over Remy? Drogba will retire at the end of the season, Remy will be with us for another 3 or 4 years. No reason to keep starting Drogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 very strong team!!! shows intent!! we are here to win the game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Strong team but I take it Drogba is officially 2nd choice striker now which is harsh on Remy.Drogba is damn near scoring for fun at the moment though. Looked better than Costa when they were on together too.He's earned Second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Glad to know Oscar didn't even make the bench. Mourinho said the kid can't play too many matches a month, but was including him in every single match... it made no sense!I wish Hazard was in the bench, but as someone said, he got a nice holiday last week (I'd still play him cautiously in matches like these).People barely talked - as far as I know - about Luis and Azpili playing together last week, and here they are again. that's something many have been demanding José to do, but when he does, I don't see a big reaction as much as I see complaints of him never dropping Iva.I feel for Remy, but DD has been delivering, so there's also that.I can already see the meltdown... no youth kids even in the bench. Sky will break loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,928 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Imagine if Hazard, Cesc, or Matić get injured in a League Cup game against Derby that we could almost certainly win without them.Not sure I like it, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Remy must have shagged Mourinho's daughter. Why would you play Drogba over Remy? Drogba will retire at the end of the season, Remy will be with us for another 3 or 4 years. No reason to keep starting Drogba.Erm maybe because Drogba has been playing well recently? So what if he retires? Remy think he is automatic 2nd choice here? If he wants to leave he can go but I doubt it, he is happy and he knows he will get his chance eventually if he is patience enough.Who cares about the future starting, just about now.
