Bent will start against derby
If he's fit he probably will as I think Berby has four bookings this season and will not play!!
Bent will start against derby
I dont even think Daws would make the bench for the final when everyones back. I would expect Juande to pick chimbonda ahead of dawson for the bench role as he can cover right, left and centre. On the other hand Huddlestone could possibly even start the cup final. That will be the biggest selection Ramos would need to make. Who to partner JJ out of Tainio, Huddlestone, O'Hara, Zokora, Boateng
I'm not the slightest worried as Senor Ramos has proven over the last 3 months come what may, he'll have the situation under control through his inventive line-ups.
Ah apologies, mis-read the main site which has the Chelsea legue game as being before the CC Final on the ticket new page! Assumed that was the weekend before......
Even so....if we thing King will be fit for the final i don't think we should rest anyone v Derby in the league......i'd still go as strong as we can and only look to rest players in the 2nd European game.....
buttons -
but don't you think it's too risky to play key players like Berbs & JJ for example? there's always a chance of a red besides injury
I'd rather go at Derby full strength, and take 3 of them off early in the 2nd half. Yellows are a non issue, dont bother tackling them, they'll pass it straight to us after 20-30 seconds anyway.
Same again against Prague away, need to get a good result there. I think the Slavia home leg 3 days before the CC is when we should look to rest some of the Cup starting 11.

Are we really that fussed about Dawson? I mean, he is crap, isn't he?
