termninja 5,290 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm eager to see our next match. One thing Carlo needs to do is to bench Drogba and show who's alpha male!Stop with the tactics talk I don't think Carlo checks this forum to see what we think, and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he lined the same formation against Fulham. Stupid international friendlies...if some of our players get injured I'm gonna...well nothing but it wouldn't be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 By the way guys, international round before this.Expect injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Loads of time for us to figure out the formation, we should try a straight up 4-4-2 with no diamond, see how that goes. Cech Ivanovic Luiz Terry AshRamires Essien Lamps Malouda Torres Drogba (Anelka if Carlo wants to send a message)I agree, i think something very basic would be a good move to do. Anyway i hope Chelsea can put the liverpool match aside, it was difficult for me today, as i got tormented by my friends and the whole school just for this Chelsea defeat against Liverpool. Chelsea all the way, never give em up. But i can garauntee Drogba will not be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacika 188 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 -----------------------Cech---------------------------Bosingwa--------Luiz------------Terry----------Cole-----------Ramires----Josh------Lampard---------------Anelka-----Torres--------Kalou-----this is line up I would love to see against Fulham.... Drogba needs to be benched, and Essien too...these two guys were so bad lately and need to realize the first 11 spot is not guaranteed to anyone...

And yeah i totally agree about Drogba and Essien, they need to learn it's not garuanteed for anyone. But could you honestly see Ancelotti having the balls to bench Drogba?, Essien maybe.

Rest are Manchester United fans, which is a real shame. They never understand that referees pamper them and can't admit the obvious fact that they've been lucky. In all honesty, if Chelsea doesn't win the title I hope it's Manchester City. Couldn't stand ManU fans rubbing it, or Arsenal fans for that matter. Disgusting bunch of wankers they are. Come on Chels! KTBFFHOn topic: Why'd you want to bench Essien? I honestly think he has been doing fine or not worse then anyone else in midfield. He is a DMF not a creative midfielder, we really lack a player with flare and vision in midfield and thats where our woes start. Against Fulham compulsory win and let's keep fingers crossed no Chelsea player gets injured during this utterly pointless international friendlies.(Estonia meets Bulgaria, woo!)

I don't see the point playing Drogba every game, well he did score 9 goals ( lot from penalties) but his form on last 5-7 games was awful....Drogba BENCH!!! ESSIEN BENCH!!!p.s. same thing is with Essien, his form during the whole season is poor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I am worried about lack of news about Ramires ,,,wasn't mentioned as injured and not even on the bench ...Hope there isn't a serious issue .We could have used his energy yesterday.Yeah me too... I can't find any informations on the internet, even not a single hearsay... This isn't normal. The Board should wake the fuck up. Lampard, Zhirkov and now Ramires.

Though don't worry always been a Chelsea supporter, die being one. And about Essien, Essien is and always has been my favourite player, but eversince he recovered from an injury it's like he can't play how he used to. I'm really worried about him, he has had plenty of time to recover, do you reckon this is permanent?. I hope not, and we are kinda lacking flare. Essien is pretty creative even when he's not meant to be. And as a defensive midfield he hasn't done his best. He can't run his fastest anymore, has he had an injury lower body?. Though i just don't think this is the same Essien, i hope this is nothing serious. But for the time being i think we should bench Essien.Anelka and Kalou could switch places during the match... But is Drogba coach or Carlo? I don't see the point playing Drogba every game, well he did score 9 goals ( lot from penalties) but his form on last 5-7 games was awful....Drogba BENCH!!! ESSIEN BENCH!!!p.s. same thing is with Essien, his form during the whole season is poor...Rotation is important, but i would rather have Malouda on honestly. But at the end of the day it's carlos decision. Drogba and Essien should be benched i agree on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmhowell 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Carlo needs to grow a pair and drop Drogba and Mikel. Mikel just slows us up and cant see a forward pass, lets hope Ramires is ok and can play and put Essien in the holding role. Play Torres through the middle with Anelka and Malouda out wide, I would also play Brana at right back with Sideshow Bob next to JT.C'mon the Chelsea give our neighbours a footballing lesson!!

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 It's really essential that we get back to winning ways. I feel we can win this one, but it's by no means easy! I also reckon Torres will get his first goal in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Mikel.Yeah, and he had to do that under enormous pressure because of that stupid decision to book him in the 30th second by Mariner. It's a testament to his abilities as a DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
