Cech Ferreira Alex Terry Cole Mikel Essien Lampard Anelka Drogba Malouda I think that's our line-up than. Tbh we don't need Ivanovic for this one. Stoke doesn't have a pacy left-winger so Ferreira won't be exposed.
Bumping old thread. Dunno how we are gonna handle this 8 homegrown players. We lack few people. Btw does Sturridge counts as u-21? Because he finishes 21 on September 1st. 1. Petr Cech 2. Henrique Hilario 3. Ross Turnbull (HG) 4. John Terry (HG) 5. Alex 6. Branislav Ivanovic 7. Ashley Cole (HG) 8. Yuri Zhirkov 9. Paulo Ferreira 10. Jose Bosingwa 11. Frank Lampard (HG) 12. Michael Essien 13. John Obi Mikel 14. Ramires 15. Florent Malouda 16. Yossi Benayoun 17. Didier Drogba 18. Nicolas Anelka 19. Salomon Kalou 20. Danny Sturridge (HG) U21: 1. Jeffrey Bruma 2. Gael Kakuta 3. Patrick van Aanholt 4. Josh McEachran 5. Fabio Borini

Dunno what's your problem guys. Defence gets injuried, Essien steps in, Ramires plays in midfield. I think that's what we bought him for, right? To play? Our squad's depth is more than fine, actually I don't think we ever had so much many sided players who can fill 2 or 3 positions, some even 4 or 5.
If needed. But I'm sure that Terry won't get any long injury, because he is undestructable Terrminator and with Bosingwa back, we have plenty of cover.
Don't you remember that Bosingwa is soon coming back? We have Alex, Terry, Ivanovic, Bosingwa, Ferreiera, Bruma, Mancienne, Cole, Zhirkov and also Essien and Malouda if needed. How much defenders do you want?
They used Fletcher, Carrick and De Laet. We have Bruma, Mancienne and this beast called Essien. Paulo is also very versilate player. Don't think we have a problem.
