First choice lineup for the rest of the season

[Tomo 21,733]

GK - Petr Cech - No brainer.

RB - Branislav Ivanovic - Under par tonight but give the guy a break, his first under par match at right back in some time, he is awesome at RB.

CB's - Gary Cahill and David Luiz - Terry for Cahill when he returns.

LB - Ryan Bertrand - Cole isn't performing, title is over, what will hurt in giving Ryan a run of games?

DM - Oriol Romeu - Has to play every match from now on in after Raul Meireles's pathetic display's in that position.

CM - Ramires - Who else?

CM - Really don't know, despite his pathetic display's lately Meireles did play well in December when Romeu-Rami-Raul was the midfield 3. Essien would make this midfield far too defensive and Lampard doesn't fit into AVB's system, im stuck with this one.

RM - Danny Sturridge.

LM - Juan Mata

ST - Saloman Kalou - Dont wanna hear the rest. His goals may be tap in's but atleast he gets them unlike Drogba these days or the £50m 180k a week "forward".

Drogba and Torres have been frustrating for 90, Sala frustrate's for 89.

This team as often as possible and we might just save our season.

One last thing, if a Cahill or Luiz injury forces Ivanovic back in the centre, Paulo at right back not Bossy please!!!!

[Kojo 4,676]

Oh my god, Salomon Kalou upfront?, well he might just save us from relegation at least.

[Ollie 4,400]

Couldn't name a good starting IX that i can say 'YES, this is it!' with these players.

Ok i'll try but it's unrealistic but what i personally would play if i took over tomorrow.

Cech

Luiz

Ivanovic

Cahill

Cole

Mata

Lampard

Ramires

Sturridge

Drogba

Torres

In a basic 4-4-2

[manpe 10,861]

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand

midfield: doesn't matter

Mata

Sturridge - Drogba - Kalou

play hoof ball from defence to Drogba, bypassing midfielders and hope for the best

OR

Cech

Ivan - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand

Ramires - Essien - Lampard - Mata

Sturridge - Drogba

4-4-2

[Tomo 21,733]

If we had a forward other than him that can score i wouldn't even consider it.

Didier Drogba, for fuck sake did you read my reply to you in the Daniel Sturridge thread at all?, being a forward isn't about goals, you play Kalou upfront you're playing with 10 men, that's a fact, Kalou has no technical abillity, he can't pass, cross, dribble or anything, so you want Kalou to be a poacher?

LOL!, sorry but poachers can only be in a team where there is lots of creativity

so you think Kalou is going to get all these long balls, crosses and throughballs now do you?, that's very delusional as it's only Mata who can pass in our team, and he rarely gets a pass.

So what makes you think he's gonna score lots of goals then?, what games has he played this season, Newcastle, okay we battered them all game chances coming from everywhere, it's not like he came on and started helping the team with his movement and the team were suddenly playing better, oh and he scored against Genk when we were 4-0 up and they had 2 midfielders as centre backs, wow classic player.

Yeah watch out barca!.

How about dropping sturridge for one game

Where was the creativity last season? he still scored 11 goals.

you play Kalou upfront you're playing with 10 men,

So basically it's like playing Torres but with the hope he might actually get a goal.

[Kojo 4,676]

No it's nothing like that, when we score a goal, Torres is usually dragging players away, making gaps, or being involved in the play, either it's an assist, 2nd assist or what, remember our 2nd goal against man u?, Mata's screamer, who crossed that?, now don't tell me Kalou would of crossed that in for Mata, please just don't make me laugh. Torres has had a lot of assists this season in all competitions, he's done well in that departmant, okay he hasn't had any luck in front of goal fine. And i don't give a shit about last season, it's now!, Kalou scored goals last season yes, right place right time fair enough, i bet he wouldn't do it this season, and i hope he doesn't play cause it's not worth it, he's fucking crap and gives the ball away all the time.

Have you heard of Daniel Sturridge?

[Wilson 358]

Kalou should be our main striker.

[Tomo 21,733]

Have you heard of Daniel Sturridge?

Who will go on the right?

[Ollie 4,400]

Use Torres out wide away from the goal. He's shown he can cross a ball from the right hand side.

[Kez 2,727]

Who will go on the right?

For now.. Torres or Kalou. I don't care who it is tbh. Danny needs to be playing striker he's the only one that can score a goal atm. Or would it hurt to try 4-4-2 for once.

[Santiago. 1,500]

----------Sturridge----------

Kalou----Mata----Ramires

------Essien--Romeu------

A.Cole--------------Ivanovic

[Spike 12,049]

Switch Kalou with Danny. Bingo!

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Tomo-91: Switch the positions of Torres and Sturridge and it might work.
