derry must make way

[BUSHRANGER1982]

Is better than Fitz Hall!

Not much in it, if you ask me.

[QPRJACK123]

I do agree, but I think Drogba will be far to physical for him

what is your obsession with matt connolly? the majority of your posts are about him!

Tommy Smith is a better option than Mackie.

OP's team but Smith for Mackie for me, too.

I do think we need Barton to drop back from the hole which he's supposed to be in -- he's playing deeper than that naturally, along with Derry and Faurlin, and there isn't a lot of linking between the midfield and forwards, other than hoofing from deep.

[Dazzer1977]

Mackie has lost a good couple of yards of pace. On Saturday he couldn't run past Salgardo who's one of the slowest if not the slowest defenders in the league. He should never of started at the weekend and be made to win his place in the starting 11. Thought HH had a good game but will also go on record in saying JB would of cause more problems than Mackie did.

anton should take drogba, hes the biggest and most experienced prem defender.

DD on his day will over run anyone .

Kenny

Young
Gabbidon if fit? If not Connolly
Ferdinand
Traore

SWP
Barton
Faurlin
Smith

Helgusson
Taarabt

For me. With Barton/Faurlin alternating as to one drop deep/one push on to support going forward.

SWP and Smith to give us natural width, fullbacks to be given licence to overlap and if Barton and Faurlin are not performing, for f*ck sake give Buzsacky at least a decent 25/30 minute run out.

Lets play with a tenacity and intensity Chel**** have not seen before, don't give them time on the ball, get stuck in, win those 50/50's, don't stand off and admire their reputation as players, let's bloody get in their faces and upset their rhythm.

:yush:

Come on You R'rss!!!

I would drop out faulrlin and mackie from Saturday's team and play tarrabt and smith

[stainrodisalegend]

Faurlin? I'm speechless.

[Ric-Roc]

Sorry just realied I pressed 'what he said' to pauls post I meant to say Derry & mackie out & Taarabt & Smith in.

Really think the game needs Tommys energy & Adels guile.

But yes defo keep Faurlin.

[James1979]

Agree that we should drop one of the midfield 3, unfortunately derry would probably be the man to go. I'd like us to put akos in though, so:

Kenny
Young, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Traore,
Barton,Akos,Faurlin,
SWP, Adel, Heidur

Let's go for it.

I like the look of that line up.

[Yousef]

reason for mackie is he can track back a lot quicker then derry if needed becasue chelsea have a pacey team same go's for swp.

Good point

Has SWP got the worst shot in football? Its like his boots are on the wrong feet.

I said when we first signed him that he's always been a poor finisher. I thought Warnock was off his rocker when he said he expected at least ten goals out of him this season.
