vs Norwich (A) Pre Match Thread

I think Allen could do a role further forward. He has done it before and looked decent ...

------ Gerrard ---- Lucas
------------ Allen
Sterling --- Suarez--- Coutinho

After Coutinho's masterclass on the left against Manchester City, he's more than capable of taking on that role. I also think that Sturridge being out will help Suarez.

[ronanm]

I'd play Aspas. I think he'd play quite well on the left of the front three and have Sterling on the right.

Then we can have a midfield of Coutinho and Allen with Gerrard behind.

Me too

[Muddled]

Id rather have Moses play than Aspas. In fact, I'd rather have Mike Marsh play than Aspas.

[The_weatherman]

I think Sturridge has been to focused on improving his own scoring record, I dont think the team will perform worse in the next game without him, I know he brings alot more to the table but his head hasnt seemed right fot a couple of games.

I'd rather have the erstwhile duck play than Aspas.

Although I have a feeling that he has a role to play within the remaining chapters of this story.

Allen forward doesn't fill me with confidence. He tends to bottle it when in the opponents area. He could have been through on goal on Sunday, but he hesitated, got closed down and looked for Suarez instead. In fact, he hesitated because he was looking for Suarez rather than focusing on shooting.

for me it's simple - hendo out, rest sturridge as he hasn't looked right for a couple of games and personally i feel both him and luis have been a bit at sorts.

so rest studge and get him 100% for chelsea

play

sterling and coutinho given the freedom/confidence to get forward and attack/support suarez as they know they have good midfielders in behind them to cover.

Is Sturridge even injured? I've not seen any reference to it at all apart from on here.

Is Fredo making mischief again?

[Fosterbloke]

He's having a scan today or he had one yesterday.

Says who though?

[PTP]

well he limped off - i reckon though we're keeping things close/in house

we won't know, at best we might hear he's got a little knock - we don't want anyone getting any reason to think we are struggling.

[SB]

Well the commentator said he was coming off injured

I didn't here that on sky. I didn't see him limp off either. My memory might not be what it used to be admittedly.

who's is? I just saw him come to the sideline but didn't see if he went down the tunnel or sat on the bench so not really sure.
