LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not one to experiment with for me, this game is very important. CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikelRamires - LampardAnelka - Drogba - MaloudaTorres hasn't warranted a start for such a high profile game. Not worth the risk imo, bringing him on later is a much better idea I think. For Anelka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This is my team to face T*ttenham ... --- Cech ------ Ivanovic --- Terry© --- Luiz --- A.Cole ------ Mikel ------ Ramires --- Lampard --- --- Anelka --- Drogba --- Malouda ---Subs:Turnbull, Alex, Bertrand, McEachran, Benayoun, Zhirkov, TorresI think despite the absence of Essien through injury, our squad still has the right balance in defence and attack. Mikel could be in a holding role, while you have the likes of Ramires running in and getting at the opposing defence, while Lampard is there to make crucial passes and maybe even score himself.I think Torres will be on the bench again, but Carlo should give him a lot more minutes of game time than what he's currently giving him. I don't think giving him 10-15 minutes of game time is enough in all honesty. Maybe on the 60-minute mark, he should come on!I do however agree with any arguement that Torres should be put in the starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 a crucial match for us, Tottenham would be looking to get into the top 4 and we need to win this to keep our title hopes intact.I would stick to the 4-3-3 which seem to be working good for us in the recent games.-----Cech---------Ivanovic-DL-JT-AC-----Ramires---Mikel----Lampard------Anelka/Kalou---DD----Malouda/YuryYury would be better because he might be useful in the defense as well, because Spurs can catch us off guard on the counter.

dodojojo 510 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I see Anelka, Drogba and Torres wearing the orange bibs. Just say no, Carlo, just say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I saw that this morning and I don't want to look too much into it. Hopefully it was just a small sided drill and not a clue for Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 CechIvan - Luiz - Terry - ColeMikelRamires - LampardDrogba - Torres - MaloudaI'll go with that too, Drogba not as wide but important part is to keep it 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Also I'd like Luiz to handle Bale, think he can and I don't trust Ivanovic's pace. Plus Luiz's lapses won't matter to much on the right. That's exactly what I was thinking about. Ivanovic seems to struggle against pacey wingers. Our two games vs Lucky Utd has hilighted that, he struggled against Nani and I'd rather have Luiz at RB than have Ivanovic on the right and force Ramires (admitting he starts the game) to help him to handle Bale.The only player who shouldn't start in my opinion is Kalou. Otherwise I'd go with the same starting eleven which has beat West Ham. So to replace Kalou I'd pick up Benayoun. Finally we manage to play with speed in our game, hence I think it is very important to keep Anelka far away from our starting lineup.If Ramires isn't fit enough, then play Benayoun in the midfield and play Kalou on the right wing.My team :CechLuiz - Ivanovic - Terry - ColeMikelRamires - LampardBenayoun - Drogba - Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
