I'm a firm believer in that the 4-3-2-1 is the best formation for this team. ------------Cech--------- Ivan--Cahill--Luiz--Cole -----------Mikel---------- Ramires-----------#8/#11 ------Hazard-Mata------- -----------Torres---------- We simply can't leave Ramires out. He was excellent last year as a winger, but that's because we played a type of game suited for a defensively sound player like Ramires on the wing. He's suboptimal there and he's not what we're looking for in the pivot. We should revert to this because all of our best players can play mostly to their strengths.
