I see Petr is a big doubt for starting tonight, which has just created the depressing thought of Turnbull starting tonight! I know he's got cotton wool for brains, but surely even Rafa must have enough sense to play Hilarious ahead of him---or even a half fit Petr!
I don't rate Turdball at all, and I will be on the edge of the chair every time the ball comes towards him if he plays yet again. JT certainly didn't look confident with him in goal last time out, and that mistake could have had dire consequences. I don't see why Hilario shouldn't start tonight he can't do any worse surely !
Hilario has had a bad wrap, he has really never had a catastrophe that I recall, and more often than not , has done a good job. As for JT ,I thought he was the reason everything was sooooooooo slow from the back last game. I think he should not play with Lamps again, the 2 together waste so much time playing backward triangles with Ashley Cole, the front men go to sleep. Harsh for his first game back , but it's been this way for at least a year. I'm convinced his absence from the CL Final was the reason we won. Luiz and Cahill were magnificent against all the odds and yards quicker. Like Lamps, JT is a very handy player, but he will not mean the difference between winning and losing any more, in my opinion.
I think JT just needs to bed in again, I can't agree about it being his and Lamps fault for wasting time in the last game, I think a lot of players were having trouble with that pitch more than anything, and were trying to find a way to get it up to the goal, the ball was slow to move and it was like watching a game from years ago with the old lace up balls on soggy grounds. Our players are used prem stadiums where they can judge the speed, and movement of the ball. We have to also remember both Lampard and JT were out with injury's for quite a while I agree about Luiz and Cahill and I rate them both very highly.
