Very different role playing CF and having to play with your back to goal a lot and having to work to find space, rather than starting on the wing and drifting inside.

Still, it doesn't look an unreasonable line-up from Chelsea.

Yes, but Sturridge is originally a CF who got pushed to the wing due to lack of chances in the center, he has said in a lot of opportunities that he plays better in the center, so I guess this is his chance to prove it.

Ramires is a better fit for the right in today's game due to all the work he does, even if he's not really that dangerous upfront.

Even when he played centrally he was generally playing with a target man type CF, though, so he still had a lot of freedom to roam.

Different challenge to go and be the focal point of an attack and lead the line properly.

That isn't to say Sturridge can't play this role - just that his good form on the wing doesn't count for an awful lot tonight, in my book.

I think Sturridge might be the most likely striker to follow AVB's instructions if media speculation of Drogba's revolt is true.


Sturridge looks like he might be a fairly active CF, maybe better to play off of Raul or Lampard, whichever bombs forward or link up with Mata.

BBC is saying Terry will miss the game with a knee problem.

Presumably Luiz will play, which can only be good news for Napoli.

yo fuck that!

First of all, the way to get back the 4th spot lies thru EL not CL.
Secondly, fuck FIGC they shot themselves in the foot in 2006, all we need is one spot... we'll always have money thanx to our huge fan base and a brand new stadium + facilities... the rest can go fuck themselves...

I want the fourth back too but lets hope Udinese will bring points instead. I don't think their chance of going far in the EL is less than that of those pathetic Italian clubs in the CL :p

Don't kid and try to convince yourself that this would be good for Juve and the league itself.

Apart from the fact we wouldn't be winning the Serie A each year, no player would want to come to a league where only one CL spot is given. Don't be silly or I'll slap you.
