I said on another thread that I don't like the role Mikel plays in our 4-3-3, but I understand it's important because his presence allows Cole and Bosingwa the freedom to get forward and join in on attacks. So yeah I can understand where you're coming from with that Mikel and Ramires combo but imo dropping them after their performances so far (and under very stressful mindset in case of Mikel, not to forget) while continuing to play Lampard who's provided literally nothing would send out the wrong signal. Yossi --- Ramires Mikel Would be awesome. Josh on standby. Won't happen though, I know.
