Appy Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 We are going to be playing on the break a great deal, we need pace, which Lambert doesn't have.
Thedelldays Posted 16 January, 2013 Author Posted 16 January, 2013 Makes sense no gaston Absolutely hideous away from home
Dig Dig Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Well I dont understand that team!!! Probably Adkins giving up........................ If we went toe to toe with them, we'd lose heavily most probably and Adkins would get getting it in the neck. He can't win sometimes
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I think we will lose this one.... Getting off the fence, we will get thumped. I am hoping we keep it to 1 or 2
Matthew Le God Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Well I dont understand that team!!! Probably Adkins giving up........................ We are going to be doing a lot of running without the ball against the European Champions, let Guly Do Prado and Rodriguez do that and then bring Lambert and Ramirez on fresh in the second half.
VectisSaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Ramirez injured again then ? Getting to be bit of a habit isn't it. On the bench so unlikely he is injured. Tactically makes sense, battle in midfield and try to get them on the break. SRL and Gaston to come on late if necessary.
Dark Munster Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 We are due a stuffing, 6-0 to Chelsea Where have you been? Anyway, better late than never.
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Stuck a quid on Lambert first goal just in case someone goes down in the area in the first few mins... Whoops!
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 So if someone does dive in the box, who will take the pen?
Appy Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Rodriguez hopefully http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O194V1nvTCY.
Greenridge Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Ramirez injured again then ? Getting to be bit of a habit isn't it. He's on the bench....
Saint_clark Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 So if someone does dive in the box, who will take the pen? Davis for me.
shirleysfc Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 So if someone does dive in the box, who will take the pen? Boruc
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Boruc Smash up the middle kind of guy I reckon..... Middle of the stand I think!
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 J-Rod or Guly I would guess. Guly to break his scoring duck from the spot?
DT Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I really don't get why Rodriguez ever starts, frankly.
Thedelldays Posted 16 January, 2013 Author Posted 16 January, 2013 I really don't get why Rodriguez ever starts, frankly. Didn't see the villa game?
Leicestersaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I am very surprised about Rickie as he was one of our best players against Villa.
Appy Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I really don't get why Rodriguez ever starts, frankly. You probably don't know much about football then.
student Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 You do realise goal difference could relegate you, smart move by adkins
Matthew Le God Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I really don't get why Rodriguez ever starts, frankly. Because he leads the line very well, which anyone watching the Villa or Stoke game would see. Lambert was playing in a deeper role in those games, allowing Rodriguez to make runs in behind the defence. Rodriguez isn't lighting quick but is fast enough to worry defences, something Lambert can't do.
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I am very surprised about Rickie as he was one of our best players against Villa. Completely different game, we need someone to harrass the chelsea players and give them no time on the ball, and be able to play on the counter, thats not one of Rickie's strengths.

Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 You do realise goal difference could relegate you, smart move by adkins maybe it wasn't his turn to pick the team :rolleyes:
MOSaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I see what he's trying to do with Rodriguez up front alone, but I feel that we need Lambert in the team to hold the ball up opposition teams find it to easy to win back possession quickly and keep the pressure on.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I am very surprised about Rickie as he was one of our best players against Villa. I am very surprised about Rickie as he has been our best player for the last 3 years but yet again Nigel hasn't given him a shot at a big club away from home. Can understand no Gaston as he goes missing at times away from home, but I think people need to get away from this 'lack of pace' nonsense because J Rod can do the running with Rickie playing deeper to play the balls through to him. We will hardly win an attacking header tonight. Stupid decision IMO.
Thedelldays Posted 16 January, 2013 Author Posted 16 January, 2013 I get this team selection for this game We will probably lose no matter what. Just hope it's not a villa type thrashing Can't see them losing 3 in a row at home
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I have a treble on Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea to win..... Hmmm watch arsenal mess this up!
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Just means that we have to make sure J-Rod isn't isolated. Guly, Davis and Punch need to make sure they're getting around him and creating space for him.

Guly, Davis and Punch need to make sure they're getting around him and creating space for him. to be honest I don't think attacking them figures in our plans a great deal. QPR formation ON
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 True, but we will have a counter attacking plan I would have thought.
Colinjb Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 This is a very pragmatic line up My thoughts too. Our 'Wolves away to Man Utd' moment. Although behind the front line we are essentially first choice for what we have available. Glad Shaw's injury wasn't too bad.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 True, but we will have a counter attacking plan I would have thought. Code name JRod...that's it.
adrian lord Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 True, but we will have a counter attacking plan I would have thought. Clyne and Punch through to Jrod
Rod Le Shearer Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Because he leads the line very well, which anyone watching the Villa or Stoke game would see. Lambert was playing in a deeper role in those games, allowing Rodriguez to make runs in behind the defence. Rodriguez isn't lighting quick but is fast enough to worry defences, something Lambert can't do. Whatever team we play against, Rickie is be ten times more usefull than Jay. Yes, Rickies work rate isnt as good. He isnt particularly fast. But the outlet he provides for the rest of the team means that 4-5 other players have to work less! the net positive effect is huge, and frankly I`m baffled if Adkins dont see that! I assume he (Nigel) is forfeiting this game, and saving Rickie for saturday. From our last match against chelsea it was obvious we missed what Lambert offers, thats for sure.

Not sure about that tbh, I don't agree. In a game like this I think J-Rod offers more.

I assume he (Nigel) is forfeiting this game, and saving Rickie for saturday. From our last match against chelsea it was obvious we missed what Lambert offers, thats for sure. I think they should both be playing. Both have different strengths and were looking together on Saturday. Rickie is more effective in bringing the rest of the team into play. That's why his omission tonight is so baffling.
Sheaf Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I am very surprised about Rickie as he has been our best player for the last 3 years but yet again Nigel hasn't given him a shot at a big club away from home. He played away at Liverpool and was obviously so desperate to score against them that he was too selfish when he could have played in others who were in better positions.
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 No, If they both played, then neither of them would see the ball, and we'd just sit and watch their midfield rip us apart.
pingwing Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Whoops! Ah well can only hope packing out the midfield like city away and united at home keeps them out till Lambert comes on... It's generally a good game plan though 7 of the out field to deal with their front 6 and more mobile dribblers up front with a return of Guly after Gastons shameful display out on the left against villa. Result depends entirely which Chelsea turns up with a sly 1-0 for us or an 8-1 for them

channonball Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 J-Rod upfront on his own is nuts. He maybe a keen runner but he can't hold up a football. It's pretty much the same team that got hammered at St Marys.
