After last night I would say no...

Its hard to judge from last nights situation as they had parked the bus by then and also we were chasing the game. I felt we looked better with Mata, Drogba and Torres in attack in last nights game than with Sturridge, Malouda and Torres.

I really liked Torre's cross right after half time.Truly was something spectacular and perhaps maybe these two can play together.Both offer service to their team mates and are in form strikers so there is a possibility of success.

Tracking back is the key and i don't think Torres will offer that if we start him

CL FINAL SQUAD

-------------Drogba-----------

Kalou----Lampard----Mata

----Essien---------Mikel------

A.Cole-----------------Bosingwa

---------Luiz-------Cahill---------

---------------Cech---------------

FA CUP FINAL SQUAD

-------------Drogba-------------

Kalou-------Mata------Ramires

-----Lampard---Mikel------------

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

--------J.Terry---Bosingwa------

We can try it in the league games, but I think that with the current formation Torres will not be useful on the wing. Especially if the opposition plays with 10 men behind the ball.

Surprisingly, (to me at least) Fernando has become one of the best crossers in our team, but what concerns me is whether he'll be able to help the RB. Whenever I watch him playing on the wing, it just seems wrong to me, he looks disorientated and out of position. He doesn't have the habits of a winger, because it is not his natural position. That's just how I see it.

So, if Drogba and Torres play together I would go for:

-Mata-

-Torres----------Drogba-

Drogba as a target man. He wins the first ball and keeps it. Torres going back to help the mids with the build up play, and when attacking just looking for the channels and making his runs. I know we've tried this and it's been frustrating to watch them play together in the center, but now they'are both in form and I hope they can benefit the team.

Playing one of them wide is a waste for me.

I'd play the 2 of them together with a midfield diamond. I'm not a huge fan of the diamond, but I think it's the best formation for us. We have no wingers anyway, and it gets our best 11 on the pitch in their best positions.

------------Cech

Ivan-----Luiz-----Terry-----Cole

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

-----Ramires----Lampard

-------------Mata

------Torres-----Drogba

That's what I'm saying. I know it's too narrow, but we don't have anyone who can cross the ball anyway. Why play in a formation that needs wingers, when we have none?

I think it's worth a try in one of the remaining league matches. Ramires could provide width on the right like he did under AVB when he played as a central midfielder and Torres drifts out to the flanks anyway when he plays up front so who knows, it could work.

Only problem is if it does indeed work and then we wouldn't have Ramires for the CL final. :cry:

i dont see any reason y we cant start with lineup against pool and blackburn in pl (given that either of newcastle or tot win their matches, leaving us no hope at all). i have a hunch that this might work.
