toddandrewblue 19 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Such a disappointment that, at the moment at least, it appears they will be running out basically the same squad as last season. We all know how that went, and I'm afraid it's going to go the same way the second time around. I'm a fan of stability, but everyone knows this team needed to make some serious changes to challenge in 4 competitions this season. Unless AVB is a miracle worker, or barring any last minute transfers (tired of waiting), I don't know if I can re-watch last season all over again. So frustrating.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The same squad plus Benayoun, Ramires, Oriol, Lukaku, Sturridge and Luiz. Its not like we're stuck with the same players completely...Cech/Hilario/TurnbullBosingwa/Ivanovic/Ferreira - Luiz/Alex/Ivanovic - Terry/Rajkovic/Oriol - Cole/Bertrand/van Aanholt/FerreiraLampard/Benayoun/Clifford - Mikel/Oriol - Ramires/McEachran/KakutaAnelka/Sturridge - Drogba/Torres/Lukaku - Malouda/Kakuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Benayoun and oriol will make a substantial impact? Do you think Sturridge will get enough time to have a say in things (I hope he does). And Lukaku is still up in the air, no? Just feel like the existing infrastructure is stale and/or broken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I still think AVB will make 3 or 4 signings that will effect the starting team next season. He'll probably go for the 4-3-3 he played at Porto, so...CechIvanvoic - Luiz - Terry - ColeLampard - Mikel - ModricSturridge - Torres/Drogba - LukakuI know you see Sturridge and Lukaku out on wide positions, But I think it will be more of a case of playing as inside forwards. I can see Sturridge playing as a winger, Crossing the ball when he needs too, But also cutting inside and making runs when he needs too. He won't be wasted, Because him making dianongle runs across the way, with a player like Modric slipping in a through ball will be deadly, and if he gets in anyway behind the defence, He should have Torres, or a late Lampard run to aim for, or to have a shot himself.Lukaku on the left would be used as more as a supporting play for Torres, heading on flick on's, Getting on the end of attacks, and playing him there allows Torres to drop deep and support the midfield. I feel most of our width from the left hand side could come from Cole, Modric, or occasionaly Lukaku could whip one in with his left foot. Its all about the support play.Saying that, Its just an example of how to make it work. I do expect us to sign a pure winger, I'm not banking on Modric, I'm just using an example of a player that I think we'll sign because its desperatly needed. We also have players like Drogba, Anelka, Kalou, Kakuta and Benayoun to bring on as attacking options.Be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Domino- 116 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Sturridge shows interesting things here, but I'm not completely sure that it can be a permanent player to play at least 10 games at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incometax 116 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Strurridge suspended is still more threatening than kalou anelka and malouda combined, thats why people keep picking him vs stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Possibly no Luiz, Alex, Ivanovic, Essien and Mikel for Stoke away, shall we throw the towel in now and hope there are riots there overnight? Seeing Ferreira at centre-back again will send me into a meltdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
