Tortilla9 390 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 If Carlo wants to start Malouda then tell Torres to stay at home with the family. Won't do anything for either player or the team. Two months later and it's like they're strangers. Reminds me of a one-night stand (not that I ever had one), you see the person a few weeks/months later, and you try your damndest to avoid them. At least with the one-night stand there would have been some satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I reckon we should play Zhirkov, he's effective against teams like this. He could do more damage than Malouda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 We have a reserves game today and FAYC on 20th. I'd like to keep Josh fresh for those games since I want us to win those two competitions.But then Clifford is back here so we might use him too. What do you think could he get involved in this game?

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Are people taking a top four finish for granted as well?CechFerreira - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikelRamires - BenayounKalou - Drogba - ZhirkovLampard, Torres, Malouda, Anelka, Essien, Alex and Turnbull on the bench.However, knowing Ancelotti, we'll see:CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry - ColeEssienRamires - LampardAnelka - Torres - Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krypt 241 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Tricky tie with WBA picking up some form. its up to carlo to get the players motivated for this one because i think most of them will think there is nothing left to play for so maybe mixing things up will be a good idea. People are saying to play Drogba , but i cant see him putting as much effort in against west brom as he did against united. I love Drogba but if torres is our furture he needs to play and score it hurts me saying that as i didnt want torres in the first place but if he is here to stay we need him scoring.

I still can't help thinking that a top manager would be able to get the best out of both of them together...If Torres does play then Benyoun has to be on the pitch.Carlo has certainly failed so far regarding his team selections since we bought Torres..

NattyBlue 44 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Some people just know nothing sometimes...Anyway, as for this game, the same line-up vs MU will probably start. Can't see us winning convincingly. 3 Points would be brilliant though, do one over on that cunt Roy (I use those words because he beat us while at pool with that shit team).

NattyBlue 44 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Too young, needs to know about league football pace and time on the ball really which he was getting at PA but not at his new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 19 but he has matured already.He wasn't used properly at Notts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Bad management my friend. I was talking about Conor of course. Why do you think so?He has no experience playing at this level, and his loan spell was a disaster. If he had a good loan spell then you could have a case. He could maybe get a few late substitutions at best, until he proves his worth. He hasn't even been featured at all in Carling Cup games and stuff, so absolutely no experience at all. Can't throw him straight into the deep end even if he seems mature for his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neel 257 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If we dont use our youth in entire season then why we should use them at this crunch time. There is no room for experiments. I strongly hope Carlo keeps his cool and fields his strongest eleven in next seven matches. 4th place is not assured yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people forgetting that we should have lost to Stoke by a few goals just a couple of weeks ago?Qualify first, then play youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 CechIvanovic/Ferreira - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikelRamires - BenayounDrogba - Torres - MaloudaGive Frank, Essien and Alex a rest. Alex wasn't that confident on Tuesday, he was beaten on many occasions. With Drogba returning to his form and starting to perform well, he should definitely start. Don't fucking lose the faith on Torres or else he'll be the next Andriy Shevchenko with no single doubt. Remove him on 60 or 70 minutes if he doesn't score, but don't bloody bring that prick Kalou on. He has not improved at all, not even a little since his first Chelsea season. His first touch is horribly laughable, and a player who is supposed to be a professional and who can't receive one ball properly doesn't deserve to play for Chelsea Football Club. I've seen improvement on Malouda since that Wigan game, he was not that bad against United on Tuesday either, I saw the 1/4 of last season's Malouda, he was unstopabble in some of his runs.Carlo must definitely play John Mikel and Benayoun on this one. Enough of the stupid decisions. Let's win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
