Is it Time to Start Drogba and Torres Together?

Somehow my sarcasm did not shine through as I had hoped....

It rarely does through the Internet.

i thought the smug analyst-emoticon was sufficient!!

Apperently not

If we establish a 2 goal lead tonight then we should try the pair out.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

The 2 look somewhat decent in the game today.

Since we lost all hope for 4th spot, we def. need to try it out in the remaining games!

The only striker I have ever seen who could remotely play in the same side as Drogba was Crespo. Anelka was a wide man for us, Didier is a focal point and I believe he will play that CL final like a man possessed. I think Torres coming off the bench will be a fantastic card to play because the Bayern defenders will be knackered.

Has to be the way, seems a perfect option. And yeah, West Ham fans know all to well about Drogba and Crespo being together. Ripped them a new arse hole home and away in 05/06.

There was a bit of chemistry tonight, didn't see a lot but there was something there. Shame we don't have enough games to experiment though. Our next league game is at Anfield v. Liverpool - Though I don't think Torres should even be in the match day squad

Maybe in the Blackburn home game?

[Kezza 1,965]

It was a bit difficult to see if it really worked tonight as newcastle sat everyone behind the ball.

But it it wasn't shit.

[Jase 43,479]

Still don't think it's gonna work. IF RDM wants to test it, do it in the remaining two PL games, not the finals!!

[Hysteria 159]

We need to prove this in the rest of the league...Sturridge was shocking today.

[Sheva. 5,373]

This would probably work if we had freaking wingers.

[Kojo 4,676]

Now it's time to start regretting.

[Superblue 6,331]

Both Carlo and Jose are right. Drogba 'eats alive' his competition. We don't get the best out of either IMO when they are playing together.

I love Drogba for what he has done for the club, and he deserves his moment of destiny in the Champs league final and hopefully signs off on a high, but he needs to leave this summer to allow Torres to flourish. And Torres does not need a strike partner, he simply needs support.

HOWEVER, we need a plan for the Champs League final because Sturridge, Kalou and Malouda are not good enough, and playing a 4-2-3-1 will mean we have to pick two from this shambles!

Maybe worth a try but it means rearranging the usual formation

[Drogzola 283]

I voted yes, we might as well experiment with formations and starting line ups in PL. Drogba up top and Torres just behind him. Drogba can give great assists and we have seen that Torres likes a bit of space to work with.

Would something like this work? Also the Question mark is for a suggestion for a player in that position.

Cech

Ivanovich Cahill/Luiz Terry Cole/Bertrand

Mikel/Ramires

KDB Mata/Lampard ?/Piazon

Torres

Drogba

[RamiCFC9 258]

Well Newcastle play just like that 2 strikers Ba(Drogba) and Cisse(Torres) and it works well for them.

[Waterfall 893]

Anything's better than front three of Malouda, Torres and Sturridge
