Idiot 71 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ramires behind the striker? There he would be useless.... he is not capable of playing the passes which would be needed in this position... Lampard would be better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I wish to God that AVB would play Luiz as a full-back. He'd be brilliant there, in my opinion. Great technical ability and a good pass/cross/shot on him. I made a post more than a year ago saying that's where he should be playing.

Wasn't he supposedly very poor at left-back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 He only played it once there, I believe, against Sporting (not 100% sure on this though), and it was only for 45 minutes. However he is made for the modern-day full-back role. Quick, agile, athletic, tenacious and with plenty of attacking quality. Plus his errors are less costly on the flanks than in the centre.

francozola 2,040 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well it's worth giving it a go I guess. Maybe try it out for a half hour against Bolton or something? If it doesn't work then simply switch Luiz and Ivanovic back to CB and RB respectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,453 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 *cough* Cole was untouchable *coughcoughcough*Was talking about full-back positions in general.I heard he got skinned while playing there?Never saw that game, but I've heard that before. Maybe he's not fast enough for a full back,... and of course he doesn't have the strength to impede wingers like Ivanovic.Still, it won't hurt to try. I mean, we've even used Malouda as a full-back before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodZola 630 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 .........................................Cech...................Ivanovich.......Cahill........... JT.....Luiz.........................................................Bertrand......:................Ramires..............Romeu......................................Mata...............Drogba/Torres.............SturridgeSome pointers, I would use this side & formation against almost every side in the league apart from Spurs & Arsenal as they will attack us. Every other team we play against stick 10 men behind the ball & hope to nick a goal on the counter hence our hefty possession & poor results.Cahill in the middle of a back 3 because he's the quickest, Ryan instead of Cole because he is far better going forward & Luiz has to be moved forward quite simply because he is the most technically gifted player at the club, Ramires due to his industry & Romeu alongside. Mata has to play as our AM in any system, Danny to play upfront on his natural left side alongside one of Drogs or Torres - can't decide! This team & formation would provide width, flair & goals, I would revert to a different system when we play attacking sides & adapt personel/formation when/if needed, which would be 4-3-1-2 with Cole, Essien & lamps coming in for Bertrand, luiz & Romeu.
