chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Sturridge should start.Sturridge better start! I reckon every time he plays, he gives us that speed in attack. Drogba needs some time on the bench. He's getting older now, and his decision making has been very poor recently. He isn't as strong up front as he used to be. But no player is able to hold the ball up like he can. only Drogba can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no player is able to hold the ball up like he can. only Drogba can do that.The thing is every time Sturridge gets a start he scores, he always scares when he starts in the FA cup and the champions league, the boy is a clear starter and he is a future centre forward for England next to Andy carol. He has pace and finishing ability and he can dribble, he is tactically naive sometimes but he is our young Defoe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Most of Dannys game time in the league has come with only 5 mins left, so its difficult for him, when he starts he scores and he is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Play well, stay in the team. Don't play well, get dropped. That's how football should be. At the moment, Josh deserves a shot and Essien deserves the bench. If it doesn't work, can always change it. I reckon the remainder of this season will be more of an experiment on who should be kept in the summer n who should get the fuck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I think its very risky in dropping Essien for Josh, Blackburn are very physical. The thing is though josh is a super talent and he is playing well at the minute so he should play ahead of players who are under performing !

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just been doing a little bit of research and I've just come to the following realisation:Chelsea have won 9 out of 10 matches against Blackburn Rovers that Michael Essien has played in, keeping seven clean sheets in the process.Chelsea 4-2 Blackburn (05/06)Blackburn 0-2 Chelsea (06/07)Blackburn 0-2 Chelsea (06/07) - Carling CupChelsea 3-0 Blackburn (06/07)Chelsea 2-1 Blackburn (06/07) - FA CupChelsea 0-0 Blackburn (07/08)Blackburn 0-1 Chelsea (07/08)Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn (08/09)Chelsea 5-0 Blackburn (09/10)Blackburn 1-2 Chelsea (10/11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 "I have doubts about the selection, up front and also in midfield," Ancelotti said. "The performances of Sturridge and McEachran are the reason I have doubts. I want to take the right decision. There were very important performances against Ipswich, so I have to take them into consideration."Essien has struggled at times to reproduce the irrepressible form he enjoyed before suffering cartilage and meniscus damage in his left knee a year ago – he suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the same joint two seasons ago – and has recently been affected by a toe injury. Drogba, such an influential figure in the dressing room and unimpressed at being on the bench for last month's visit to Tottenham Hotspur, has understandably seen his impact this term reduced by a bout of malaria.Yet the pair's continued toils may now have opened the door to fresher, younger legs and a glimpse at the club's future as Chelsea seek a timely and convincing league win against Blackburn this afternoon. Asked whether such players as Essien and Drogba might be omitted, Ancelotti said: "Yes, why not? My job is to choose the best team to play the game. Maybe sometimes there are some players who are not in the best condition to play.Come on Carlo, surprise me/us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 It's really hard to believe Carlo here... Since this summer he promises us things... Like the involvement of the youth.So I will only believe him once the team sheet is out. For now I think it's just a way to scare Essien (and maybe the other old players).Drop Essien remains a gamble imo. Blackburn is a very rugged team and Josh is really skinny and he is only 17 years-old. First of all, I don't know if he will be able to deal with BlackBurn's physical strenght, and, I imagine he can be injured easily with such beasts... If it was up to me, I would give him a start just against the likes of Black Pool, Wigan etcetera. We can't risk his career.If a 'youth' must start, it's Sturridge no doubt. I think I would have a heart attack if he doesn't start - especially if it's Kalou who start instead of him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
