Kostas

He's undecover

He's got more tweets than minutes for a mid-table PL club.

At least the £9m sum that was thrown around a lot if false, for now.

How bout we start him only in cup games ? Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Need a stream

And that's probably the most important thing along with Lamps and Sturridge getting a brace.

Done and dusted.

7? It was about time..

Lamps made it 6

Now our defence looks like this: Ivanovic - Bruma - Terry - Bosingwa

Bruma on for Van Aanholt

I'd like some stats on Van Aanholt's successful crosses.

Kakuta on for Kalou Carlo <3

Another one for Stu!!!

Even Anelka scored!

Infuriating to say the least.And even the highlights will be late.

3!!!

STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU 2-0!!! Backheel?!

Kalou scored!!!

Are we getting grumpy or is this as retarded as it looks? I mean the only kid that hasn't been played out of position this year is PvA (!)

Confirmation from the official site Sturridge on the wing and McEachran defensive mid :rant:

I'll have to see which who leads the line before passing judgment. Kalou will probably play on the wing so it's between Anelka and Sturridge. Kalou - Sturridge - Anelka still looks pretty toothless to me

Cole, Essien, Malouda and Drogba rested. Sturridge, PvA and McEachran start. Kakuta & Bruma on the bench The rest as expected

No TV coverage?! Ancelotti might start Sturridge during our bad moment and I won't be able to witness it?!

Great analysis Some of those points are well known while a few haven't been mentioned much on this board. I'd like to quote #5 and #6 Number 8 and 9 pretty much sums up our on-field problems but it got me thinking. While I believe we should have at least tried a version of 4-4-2 during our "bad moment" I don't know if Ancelotti can adopt it for the long term, our team has been playing variations of the 4-4-3 for years and the last two times we tried something different (Scolari, Ancelotti in 09) the results weren't good. Besides as far as I know all our academy teams are built around 4-3-3 sometimes at the expense of playing players out of position (Kakuta).
