zolayes 14,489 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Drogba as a deep lying playmaker or DM. well cech played as a CB yesterday so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Problem with that is, Lampard has hinted his discontent with playing in that position and doesn't have the aggressiveness and discipline required for that role. Provided Mikel's will be sidelined for that game then I had rather play Josh instead, he has shown enough discipline and competency in DM.It's true, at the same time it won't stop Lampard from accepting playing in that role.. Knowing it's temporary with our lack of DMF's.His long ball delivery is still very good, so it would make up for his lack of aggression and with Ramires helping him out in that area, it wouldn't be the worst option to try. Usually I'd agree with the Josh calls, but against a physical, aggressive side like Stoke, he'd be crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Abramovich 175 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Imagine Drogba and Lukaku running at you! Would finally be time for a team to bully Stoke on a physical level!Just wish we got Lukaku earlier so he could play for this, but he won't.

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Basically the general consensus on here is Drogba to start ahead of torres, benayoun and Ramires in the midfield and Malouda at LWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not by choice It's a shame really how we went from Robben and Duff to Anelka and malouda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Did you see how Fergie didn't hesitate to sub his under-performing star players (Vidic,Ferdinand and Evra) in the comm shield for a relatively "young and inexperienced" fringe players especially against their bitter rivals and it ultimately proved to be a fantastic decision.Yet People wonder why Man Utd and fergie have been so successful over the years. I'm certain If AVB or any Chelsea manager made such attempt,it will be met with severe criticism by 98% of Chelsea Fans including Roman and Ron Gourlay.make of that what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 CechIvanovic - Terry - Alex - ColeLampard - Ramires - BenayounAnelka - Drogba - MaloudaWould have Sturridge in that line-up as well but he is banned. 50:50 over Drogba and Torres. Perhaps Mikel over Ramires because are playing with Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
