Tomo 21,751 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 No such thing as a first choice team anymore, these days its a squad game as we found out horrifically to our cost last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Ramires is always going to be our biggest decision. I think it'd be probably better to start Lamps and Meireles against weaker teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Id likeCechIvanovic, Luiz, Terry, ColeRamiresMeireles, LampardSturridge, Torres, MataI think that would be a well balanced, fluid side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 No way can we use Miereles and Ramires in the same team. It will have to be: MikelRamires/Miereles - Lampard Otherwise, it's simply too negative. If ever there was a time for Lampard to step up..

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 CechBos-Ivan-Terry-ColeMierelesRamires-LampardSturridge-Torres-MataMeireles and Ramires work together so if one goes up the other stays back. This will create a lot more dynamic attack cause opposing teams won't know who will attack and when, whereas with Mikel its a given he will never enter the opposing 3rd.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I would be more than happy with us putting this team out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantdeville 195 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 ^^ I'm not sure if Ramires has the discipline to hold, he's more dynamic than mikel, but he will inevitably get caught out venturing too far forward. That's one thing mikel is good at, is being composed and keeping the shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Its all about the middle, we have the front 3, we have the back 4 or a back 4, it's just the middle and i think Mikel has to play the holding role so its litterally 2 out of Meireles, Lampard and Ramires. I can see Lampard and Meireles alternating somewhat. McEachran coould very well be in these plans too.Meireles / LampardMcEachran / RamiresRomeu / MikelWe have 2 players for each role there.

Fulham Broadway 17,367 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Given the meticulous attention to detail of Boas gives to opposition tactics, every lineup depends who we are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo, Meireles for just £12 million is good business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave30 728 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 everybody was crying yesterday that we didn't buy a creative midfielder and yet nobody seems to be prepared to play josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I would be more than happy with us putting this team out....That will be the best imo... but we need to see if Ramires can do this job.Like someone else said, a midfield of Rami, Mikel and Raul is to negative.
