The midfield puzzle

People who say Torres cant score and is a Flop just need to look at Man City and the situation with Dzeko. Last season he had two goals in all competition. This season, he has been banging them in, with two creative players behind him in Nasri and Silva. There is creativity all around that midfield and Torres would do the same. Our midfield is the same as last year's. Absolutely Dire.

We desperately need Modric. A Formation of

----------------Mikel-------------

Ramirez-------------------Modric

Sturridge----Torres--------Mata

Has Pace, Creativity and Movement.

Someone said Mata on Left wing is Wasted?

Absolutely not.

Mata only starts on the Left Wing and I am sure, AVB will give him the license to move around in the hole. A Bit like Messi who starts on the Right wing but moves around.

You need a defensive midfielder. Would be stupid to have McEchran there. and Lampard is not a defensive midfielder. Mikel is good and he stays

Said it in another post, City had three creative players feeding their center forward today. Chelsea, yesterday, had? Mata for 20 minutes, of which Torres played about 4 minutes with?

Picture Torres' game at Stoke with Aguero, Nasri and Silva behind him.

I don't believe replacing Modric with Lamps will solve our midfield problem. The pairing of Mikel and Ramires is our biggest problem.

How exactly? One is a Box to Box who is quick and drives the midfield, and the other is a holding midfielder who just sits and cleans up ahead of the defense. nothing Fancy.

Modric is the playmaker.

Although I do agree that a Midfield of Josh and Modric with Ramirez at the back is more creative. But Josh cant start games straight away....He needs to assume the Modric role in games like Carling Cup or FA Cup

Us and City signed the wrong player. Torres would be lethal at City and Dzeko would slot nicely into our formation.

City wanted Torres and was offering him 250K last summer. He said no and that's why they signed Dzeko in the winter. And that's how Chelsea signed Torres--because they waited until Dzeko was signed and avoided a bidding war with City over Torres.

Wonder if Torres watched today's game and wondered what it would be like to play with his buddies Silva and Aguero and add in Nasri. Oh, is that Tevez on the bench? It must be nice.

ramires and mikel should usually not be playing in the same team . im not saying to play either josh or frank in a holding position just as part of a three man midfield .

Ramirez is the best player in the midfield and cannot be benched but I am tempted to play this formation for our season.

-----------Mikel--------------------

Modric-----------------------

------------------------------Josh

Studge-------Torres---------Mata

Thats 4-3-3 Barcelona Style with Modric playing the Xavi role, Josh playing the Iniesta Role and Mata playing the Messi Role. Thats Creativity Galore and id bet my jewels on Torres banging them in day in and out. May be sometime later in the season cus at the moment Ramirez is unplayable.

I suppose so.

I just think we'd be better buying a proper left-winger (such as Perriera for £15million) and then make Mata our playmaker.
