LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'll have to see which who leads the line before passing judgment. Kalou will probably play on the wing so it's between Anelka and Sturridge. Kalou - Sturridge - Anelka still looks pretty toothless to me Well CJ watched Sturridge in the reserves and said he played well on the right-wing. Perhaps if he can adapt to it, it may work.

Perhaps if he can adapt to it, it may work.Correction: he made a goal cutting inside from the right. He played as a CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't know why this, of all things, bothers me.. But Hilario(us) in for Turnbull? Also, I don't see Sturridge seeing out the whole game & McEachran's probably in the holding role again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Looks good but we should have started Bruma and rest our only available CB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It could be possible that we will be playing with a more flat line midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Should of left Anelka out of the squad and played Kakuta on the left and Sturridge up front. But then again, we and all the millions of other fans probably feel the same. What is the point sometimes. Just watch and hope for something good to happen.
