Ferrer - Cavalho - Terry - Dorigo

Josh Mc could do that if he was just given a chance

If fit he should be on that pitch for 90 minutes, thats the only way he will regain his form and confidence.

True he is a nice guy but i don't think he has it tactically. Look at last season in the champs league at the Bridge against Inter, when we were crying out for something different. He and Wilkins looked confused and clueless on the bench. Yes getting rid of Wilkins has hurt us and it was not Carlo's decision but he should be doing better. Losing 7 league games already this season(the same number as Birmingham) is just not acceptable. He turned it round last year but I think his luck has ran out. If you consider what previous managers have been sacked for surely he is on borrowed time.

Why does Carlo keep persisting with Anelka??. He keeps coming inside and leaving the right flank totally exposed. If he is hell bent on 4-3-3 then Torres can play on the right with Drogba through the middle. We need Drogba's physical presence centrally. Also Anelka is very slow mentally, always needs at least 3 seconds on the ball and doesn't release it quick enough. I think even Sturridge or Kakuta would be better than Anelka but that is for next season I guess

I see your point, but feel that we are really missing a trick by not playing Drogba and Torres up front together. Torres touch was woeful last night but his movement was very good. I think if we combine that with Drogba's strength and touch we can really look to score some goals. If Carlo would just revert to a standard 4-4-2 with Malouda on the left and Kalou/Essien/Ramires on the right I think we will flow

Will become a good centre half for us. The full game he had in the league against Villa was impressive. The OG was a foul as Heskey was all over the back on him.

Carlo should go NOW....his insistance on playing Anelka is going to cost us dear this year....He kept coming inside and the right flank was totally exposed. Drogba and Torres can play up front together but only with balance on the wings. Malouda has to play on the left and Kalou,Essien or even Ramires has to occupy the right.
