so ho we gonna beat Chelsea?

[Molby]

surely not keane on his own?

 

don't like the sound of either one of them

 

will it be this:

 

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Dossena/someone better who is fit

Gerrard Masch Xabi Riera

Kuyt Keane

 

or this:

 

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Dossena/whoever

 

Benayoun/Babel/Pennant Gerrard Masch Xabi Riera

 

Kuyt

 

 

option 1 all day long for me

 

what say you?

[Jacks Jackie Jackson]

Only one way to beat Chelsea; score at least one more than they do. Waste of time over-thinking it and complicating stuff.

Is the thread title a question being asked by a gangster rapper? Its just missing a comma.

last team of ours to win there

 

i hardly gave us a hope pre-kick off that night so i'm not too down if we're missing a player or two, we can win there and we're due a bit of luck against them in the league

yes but you need to pick a team

 

and Torres is injured

 

and they're good; so we need to approach this like a Euro style tactical battle, (personally, slim as our chances are of winning the league, I think that we deffo need to beat them home and away to do it)

[Rex Ham]

Christ, you've got to wonder how that team managed to score. It was Cheyrou wasnt it?

 

Its when you look at some of the names in that line-up, even though we were obviously missing key players, that you thank your lucky stars for what we have today.

[Rex Ham]

Beating them at home is the important one, not losing away would be decent enough.

Diouf got himself sent off and we ended up with Luzi in nets for the last 15

 

 

Hamman was magnificent that night and Traore had a stormer against Gronkjaer (sp?)

[Guest Silkky Skillz]

We should go for a 4-4-1-1. Reina, Dossena, Agger, Carra, Arbeloa, Benayoun, Masch, Xabi, Riera, Gerrard, Kuyt.

Whilst my feelings on Diouf are fairly well known, even I can admit that was a ridiculous sending off. If I remember correctly he got his studs caught in another players boot laces and when the pair of them stepped forwards Diouf got tripped up.

 

From where the ref was standing, when he turned to face it, it looked like Diouf was kicking out backwards against the Chelsea player.

Ah, those were the says.

 

I can see us doing well even without Torres, much like Man U.

That's a fair point. United's record without Torres is admirable.

noticed that, just couldn't be f***ed changing it.

[alias75]

Id be tempted to play Stevie wide right against Chelsea, especially if Cole is still out Bridge was their one weakness today. Kuyt offers us much more of a goal threat when he plays centrally and i think in terms of the overall strength of the team we're stronger with Gerrard on the right and Kuyt up front.

[Gunga Din]

I'd snap your arm off for a point. i'd set up like a Euro away semi, a draw is a good result, try and sneak a win

I agree with this.

 

I'd have it more as a 4-4-2, but I agree either way.

 

Last season Gerrard didn't get a sniff against Chelsea at the Bridge, as the midfield was packed and narrow.

 

Out wide in these big games, he could get more space and opportunity to supply our strikers.

[DJS]

We can certainly hold our own down there, previous visits have proved that much. Problem is though, they inevitably score at some point and without Torres, we lack the spark and quality in their third of the park. Gerrard needs to step up.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Xabi to break Lampard's ankle & Lampard to get sent-off for it

[elmo]

1-0 Keane

[Jacks Jackie Jackson]

yes but you need to pick a team

 

Thankfully, I don't. That's Rafa's job I'm glad to say. If I had to pick the team, we'd be in division two before you could say "knife".

'knife' you say...

 

 

do I know you?

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I'd snap your arm off for a point.

 

So would I.

[toshi]

i think we looked good playing 2-6-2
