Pre-match: Time to invade Ze Germans - The 2012 CL Final Pre-Pre Match Thread

Well its that or risk putting Tymoshchuk in the backline, which would be even more lol inducing

 

Do you think Sturridge can play himself into the lineup between now and the final? With Ramires suspended, at least three of Drogba, Torres, Mata, Kalou, Sturridge or Malouda will have to start. If Di Matteo wants Mata in the hole then it will be 4 of the 6 in the lineup.

----------------Drogba
Kalou------------Mata----------Sturridge/Torres
---------Lampard-----Mikel
Cole--------Luiz-------Cahill---------Bos

Or will Torres win the central striker role? You have to figure DD will start the FA Cup final.

What an exciting time to be a Chelsea fan

 

Odd question: When does Yossi become a Chelsea player again?

 

Yeah he scored for le arse in the UCL as well vs Olympiakos

 

you can thank good old AVB for that. asshole....(meaning avb)

 

Do you mean disenchantment? i.e. he's not as keen on us as he once was?

If so, you might be right.

 

Well, fair enough I guess

 

Not all; only Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Müller, Kroos, Badstuber, Alaba.

 

Worst case scenario: Luiz and Cahill are both out for the final, who plays?

 

lalalallala i dont hear you...

I guess we would have to play wait damn....forgot about terry hmmm Damn I dont know. That really would be worst case scenario.

 

prolly Oriol and Boz with Paulo at RB

 

We could also see Mikel or Essien at defence.

 

Were trying to scramble our squad too....

Does anyone else hate the damn card rule????? how ridiculous is this, missing half the team for the final...

 

I know what you mean but otherwise you'd have people clogging people to get through knowing it wouldn't make any difference.

I think the REAL problem is the sort of crap that people get yellow cards for and the difference in approach for different teams.

Barca players surrounded the ref and gave him grief on several occasions and got nothing. Two of our best player, Ivanovich and Ramires, got a yellow for arguing with the ref. I mean you might say, 'well more fool them', but, as I say, the other side were doing the same thing and no punishment for it.

It's also annoying when people get yellows for even slightly mistimed tackles when they're obviously TRYING to get the ball and yet someone else clogs someone and is obviously trying to hurt them and they still only get the same punishment.

When a player has 'quick feet' and moves the ball very fast it's sometimes bloody difficult to judge a tackle. That doesn't mean the fella has set out to hurt him or even foul him at all... it just means the other fella is a good payer.

 

I think they should either reset them at the quarter finals or semis and then red card anyone with a very harsh tackle or maybe make it 4 yellows until next missed game...


But the way it is now is Absolutely ridiculous

 

Ok I have got my ticket and flights sorted, Munich here I come.

 

Lucky you!

 

Good luck sir
