Yeah, even though Ash is a attacking minded LB, he has the pace to get back and defend. But having Zhirkov playing left midfeilder and then Malouda as left winger, surely, Zhirkov would be in the way? I think it's better that we used that position as a second attacking midfeilder. Lampard the scorer on the right, and someone of the left as the playmaker or another player who can exploit the defence ie Kakuta or Kalou, and the centre playing back as a defensive to help the defence. That way we would have a system which would be hard to counter attack on when all the pieces are all together.
