Agree with you there, 100%. Ivanovic might not offer that much going forward but he is an absolute rock, so far, in defence. Alex-Terry have the experience and team work to handle United's Rooney and Berbatov. It gives us stability in the back four. Alex can also take rifle long free kicks. I also agree on the midfield part. Perhaps only questionable thing about the line-up are the strikers. Drogba-Torres on paper are one of the best if not the best pair but perhaps one of them + Kalou would be better. Like mentioned above, Anelka isn't a big game player and can be shut out fairly easily. Kalou creates chances but some decisions are poor, otherwise in my eyes our best dribbler. So I'd say either Torres-Drogba; Torres-Kalou or Drogba-Kalou
