Kostas 1,468 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I can't possibly see how some measly 15 minutes is going to help him.You can barely get in the game within 10 minutes.That's definitely not how young promising players should be used.

Madmax 9,219 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You can also say that giving him 30 mins once we are 3 or 4 nil up doesn't lead to his development either.As I said, I think Kakuta, Sturridge, PvA and Bruma should be definite starters in every cup game, no matter how far we go. Couple that with the odd start against weak league opposition and 15 mins every other game and they'll be first teamers in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 This should be an easy one, but we shouldn't take this game lightly, as Petr Cech has said before.This would be my starting XI-- Cech ---- Ferreira -- Terry © -- Alex -- A.Cole-- Mikel ---- Essien -- Ramires ---- Anelka -- Drogba -- Kakuta --Subs: Hilario, Bruma, Ivanovic, Malouda, Benayoun, Zhirkov, KalouI think Kakuta should get a start. This is against a minnow side, so he should get some kind of chance to show his abilities. Malouda should maybe come on later in the game, and give us fresh legs down the left side come the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 http://www.goal.com/en/match/49883/sparta-praha-vs-msk-zilina/lineup-statsAccording to this, they played 3-3-4 in their qualifier AWAY to Prague. Could be interesting to say the least.Anyone know anything about this lot?!Very little tbh. I don't think any of the players who played against us in 2003 are there at all. I don't think they have many international players either. One thing I know is they have a player called Admir Vladavic who is a decent little forward with plenty of pace and trickery. He plays for Bosnia-Hercegovina.Edit - even Wikipedia knows hardly anything about them. Having looked at their squad list I recognise literally two players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 This would be my starting XI-- Cech ---- Ferreira -- Terry © -- Alex -- A.Cole-- Mikel ---- Essien -- Ramires ---- Anelka -- Drogba -- Kakuta --Drogba is suspended.

NattyBlue 44 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Funny how that now Kakuta is back people want to forget Danny Boy?! Would be nice if he started or got on for the whole of the 2nd half depending how the game goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'd much rather see Sturridge or Kalou in Drogba's position, Anelka should stick to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Drogba issue won't be a problem, we coped last season, at least this is a reduced ban though..Kalou.........Anelka.........Malouda Looks about right. Only issues are Terry/Lampard fitness. I can see Lampard and Terry missing this one out, Alex & Ramires can fill in. A.Cole for captain role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 What HAS he done to prove he deserves more playing time?Won the Euro under 19 player of the tournament, proven himself to be one of the very best young prospects in all of Europe and looks like the best young talent we have had at the club in years.

Peace. 4,352 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 IMO, we have to tkae this game seriously. It's our first Champions' League game so we gotta to won it.Futhermore, we know strictly nothing about them. And it will be a hard travel... They haven't got any aeroport (we gotta take the train or the bus).I'd prefere Sturridge to start the game, he has more experience than Kakuta.==> I'd like to see this lineup :CechFerreira - Alex - Terry - ColeMikelEssien - RamiresAnelka - Sturridge - Maloudasub : GK - Zhirkov - Kakuta - Kalou - Benayoun - Bruma - IvaKakuta replaces Anleka or Malouda. Zhirkov replaces Cole. Bruma replaces Alex or Terry. Of course it's if we lead the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 There star signing (Momodou Ceesay) is an old Chelsea reserve player. He was then sent to Westerloo, where he managed a fantastic 0 goals in 30 games(He's a striker!!). He scored a good goal against Prague in there qualifier though.And that is all I know about Zilina! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito 459 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 yea i agree with the couple people that said that sturridge is being forgot about now that kakuta played 15-20 minutes. hopefully he will get at least a half. i think malouda will start cause he gave him a rest last game. not sure if sturridge or kalou will start up there will him even though i think carlo will give it to kalou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I would like to see Sturridge being started, Would give him good experience, Playing in a European game infront of a hostile crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Would like to see Sturridge and Bena start.CechIvan - Alex - Terry - ColeMikelEssien - BenayounAnelka - Sturridge - Malouda(Kakuta, Zhirkov and Bruma/Van Aanholt coming on as subs)Cole, Essien and Anelka being rested against Blackpool.
