Guest TheOrder Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Which players do/would you rely on to battle for 90 mins in tough physical games? With the Chelsea game coming up, and yesterdays result, I was thinking how important, at some stages in the game, just plain battling is. We don't wan't a team like Blackburn, thats for sure, kicking ten bob into the opposition, but what we need, at some points, is our lads chasing every ball, throwing themselves into shots, and limiting chances for the opposition. Even without all these injuries, we're not truly a match for Chelsea, creativity wise, especially away from home. So i reckon its all hands on deck for 90 mins, a true team performance. Who are you relying on for these type of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If we have any chance against Chelsea, it's all about the play of Nicky Butt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If we have any chance against Chelsea, it's all about the play of Nicky Butt. And the two centre halves. The full backs can afford to tuck in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
