team?

 

Cavalieri

 

Darby.....Carra....Skrtel....Doss

 

El Zhar....Aurelio...Spearing..Babel

 

Pacheco....N'gog

 

 

or something

[CarraLegend]

It'll be nearly a full team I think. No need to change much, keep the momentum going.

Torres might be rested, but I think it will be a strong team

[Andy @ Allerton]

I'll be very disappointed if it isn't a very strong team..

[anny road]

Reina wont play

Someoen has to play right back

Lucas wont play (one game away from suspension with Spurs coming up and Masch suspended)

Cant see AA or Torres playing

I reckon AA will play. Should be playing anyway.

[Cunny]

Torres may be rested but I'm expecting a strong team. I certainly hope so, I fancy a weekend down south in May.

i just cant see it

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Reina

 

Carra Skrtel Agger Insua

 

Benayoun Aquilani Gerrard* Babel

 

Kuyt Ngog

 

*Given what Anny Rd said about Lucas being a game away from suspension

[Bigal]

whats spearings ma said??

[Tommy Cockles]

madness if Torres plays. and Gerrard for that matter.

[Maldini]

Agree, put em on the bench in case you need em but I'd have Ngog up front with Pacheco behind him and a midfield pairing of Spearing and Aquilani

[Hodgson for Chelsea]

I'd be tempted to rest Carra for this one given he could be an option at RB against Spurs (depending on Degen and whether he fancies actually playing at some stage).

 

Rest Torres/Reina but other than that play the strongest side.

[Earl Hafler]

Rest Carra, Kuyt, Torres, Gerrard, Benny.

[Chili Palmer]

I think bar Lucas, with the suspension hanging over him, i'd play our strongest team. Too much stop starting this season, keep the winning run going.

Madness? Surely we want to try and win the FA Cup now given that the 'Champions' League has gone this season?

 

Rest Carra, Kuyt, Torres, Gerrard, Benny.

 

 

If we're going to be that stupid, we may as well put the under 18s on or something.

CL qualification is a must

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Normally I am one of the first to say 'rest everyone' but not this time - as full strenght as possible and definitely Aqualad

[CarraLegend]

Theres no need to rest anyone, the best thing for 4th place would be building momentum in the other competitions. Confidence is the biggest thing there is, lets build it up.

Yeah we need to get a run of wins going and build up some confidence. Confidence has cost us this season, with 2 wins in a row, we need to get this one and keep it going. Strong team required, wouldnt play Lucas, AA needs games. Anyone fit plays.

[stressederic]

We've got over a week before the Spurs game so we can probably afford to stick a decent team out.

There are a couple of players who desperately need a rest. Add to that recent injury problems for Gerrard and Torres and i can't see the need to risk it. CL qualification is the most important thing in this clubs recent history. After that the UEFA and FA cups are a bonus, and in that order.

[Hodgson for Chelsea]

It's a given for me that AA starts. Perfect game to continue with his match fitness against some yard dogs.

[Rimbeux]

Understand the calls to rest the injured main two men, but there is a big case for needing the FA Cup to keep heads up and something to look forward to winning, plus we're still trying to recover some sort of form and confidence and keep a run going. An exit could really hurt us
