Di Matteo still undecided about Cup Final strikers – Who would you choose?

With only one game to go this season, and potentially in his life at Chelsea, Roberto Di Matteo has no idea who to use up front in the game against Bayern Munich.

The Champions League final will be the game which can turn Chelsea’s season from a very poor one to an amazing one, bringing the most important trophy in European football and the qualification for next season’s Premier competition. However, Di Matteo is still unsure who he should use in the attacking roles in the game.

“I tried a few things to just have a look and see how it could work out,” Di Matteo told Chelsea TV.

“It’s always difficult because obviously it’s going to be a different opposition.

“But I’ve been trying to figure out a few things.”

With a wide range of strikers to choose from, this would be a tough decision for any manager in the world faced with such a hard game. Torres, Drogba, Sturridge, Kalou, Malouda, Lukaku and a few others are those who must fill in the gaps of a 4-2-3-1 system which Di Matteo is most likely to use.

Who do you think should be the ones to represent Chelsea up-front in the Final??

    RDM should pair Drogba with Torres. Drog should play 9 El nino should play 10 with Mata taking 11 as (SL)

    i think bayern will make tactics to break chelsea’s attack ,defence ,midfield in chelsea’s 4-2-3-1 . so rdm should use a diff formation and tactics.

    Please Mr Robert Di Matteo be adventurous against Bayern Munich in the CL final this Saturday. Your two best strikers should be on the field,Didier Drogba and Fernandos Torres. You’ve got nothing to loose by playing them both in same time but plenty plenty to gain. By doing you will increase your chance to score goals therefore increase your chance to win the final. All the best to you and Chelsea FC. May GOD richly bless yo

  7. Gerrard says

    Lets try 4-4-2 formation DROGBA,TORES DEN MATA AND LAMPARD BEHIND. GoodLuck

  8. Joenex says

    Drogba and torres should play together.we need to score goals. if really chelsea want to win that match. Best of luck!

  9. solomon says

    I tink he shud start wit drogba…dis is not a match to gamble wit..its d most important match in chelsea’s history,so his decisions are also d most important in chelsea’s history…..as much as I’ll love to  dem(torres&drogba) play 2geda @ d same tym…- I tink its a very high risk……. I expect him to play drogba alone uPfront&bring in torres. Around d 70th minute takin out som1 lyk Kalou…..who shud b tired by den….. All d best…No mata ur decisions RDM I hop all turns out well&we win our first UCL title…..Chelsea rocks…

  10. Mobiski says

    I wud luv 2 c fernando & didier paired 2geda. We’ve lost many f our gud playas tru suspensn so dia4 we nid all our avalabl playas on d pitch on sat. Up chelsea!

  11. Daniel anumaka says

    Ples Mr robert Di mattio dont thinks enofe.u shud use ur best striker like Drogba and torres up front.i believe we are going to win the cup up chelsea

  12. Chuks says

    Pls mak sure di meteo dat dider and torres start up the game drogba il play 9

  13. mali says

    dont think he has a choice. I feel he is forced to use em both because he doent have anybody to play on the right hand side.. So for that reason torres mite play behind drogbam with mata operating on the right side. Cant realy put sturrigde there, he wont pass and this aint a game for those kind of silly mistakes. Experiance will also be crusial

  14. festus says

    without stressing ourselves RDm… the best option nw is to start drogba and torress.since ramires is nt going to features .honestly i believe torress will surprise the whole world on coming saturday.he is a cool headed with a lot of talent…

  15. Emmanuel says

    I think RDM should use the available best striker in the team which are Drogba & Torres, if there is need to use any left foot striker he shoul make use of Lukaku & not Sturridge bcos the boy is very selfish & stupid. The 4-2-3-1 formation will be easy for Bayern to break so make use of 4-4-2, God is with Chelsea he will see tru. Up Chelsea

  16. Joe-philips says

    MR. ROBERT
    PLEASE LETS TRY SOMETHING NEW BY STILL PLAYING 4 2 3 1. WE STRIKE TORRES AND DROG AT HIS BACK,BECAUSE DGOG HAS BODY BALANCE AND CAN SHOOT FROM ANY WHERE.
    BELIEVE ME THEY BOTH WILL NOT DISAPPOINT US……call me with +2348030408798
