Pete DS 22 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hate to be nitpicky, but every time Luiz and Cahill have played together, Luiz has played on the left. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,527 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Why not:<the pic>Malouda is really inconsistent. Torres has better pace, dribbling and will trouble lahm or rip apart rafinha. malouda on the left will be invisible during big games now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Predator is right, Lahm will be fine either way.Our concern is not who will trouble lahm (which is as Predator rightly said is nothing) but who will stop him on the attack and that should be Malouda. Playing a strker on the wing against the best fullback in the world is suicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing a strker on the wing against the best fullback in the world is suicidal.fair enough but torres has shown time and again that he can track back and nip the ball. he's a better candidate than sturridge that way i agree with you that malouda is better defensively but he will provide little or no threat going forward in comparison to torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Play Malouda and our left wing will be totally irrelevant when we attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Our wings are fucked, we have to play through the middle because we simply have no wingers. Worrying that this is only a week away, this could go horribly wrong. Luiz and Cahill STILL are not fit, Malouda and Kalou are geniune options, Essien is a cripple so wouldn't trust him. I couldn't name a starting XI that i could be happy with. We're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Play Malouda and our left wing will be totally irrelevant when we attack.But Malouda can at least pass. Torres on the wing means he will run into Lahm and loose the ball every single time. While Danny there means we will be exposed to lahms crosses. We really don't have many options.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Torres has to play imo, i don't know where but somewhere. Maybe even just play Danny, Torres and Drogba and hope for a good day. DrogbaSturridge - Torres - MataLampard - Mikelthe 3 behind Drogba can interchange as they all know how to play in the middle or out wide. This could cause Bayern problems if they switch n change. Sturridge is in bad form and Torres & Drogs rarely start together but i think it's an option. I would still never start Kalou. Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never.Mata on the flanks?! That won't work. It will negate his strengths and defensively, he's not that good which of course will then be a disaster with Bosingwa playing on the same side as well.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 He's played almost his whole season out wide really. But those 3 could play anywhere as i said, they can interchange. Switch Torres for Mata then. Torres always drifts over there anyway.DrogbaSturridge - Mata - TorresLampard - MikelDrogba is a striker, Torres is a striker, Sturridge is a striker, Kalou is a striker, Mata is an attacking midfielder. 2 ppl will be out of position no matter what.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Like there's a better option. Ok no fuck it, lets play Kalou and Malouda, then we'll surely win the UCL .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Like there's a better option. Ok no fuck it, lets play Kalou and Malouda, then we'll surely win the UCL ....Do we really have a choice?! At least by playing Malouda on the left & Kalou on the right, we will have a proper balanced team for the final. Those two would certainly track back more than Sturridge and Torres both combined. The former has already proved to be ineffective when used on the left and with his defensive deficiencies, it will just leave Cole exposed to Robben. As for Torres, we can all sit down here and say Torres has shown he can track back and work hard for the team but that was when he played upfront. Can we really be assured that he will do that from start to finish from him out wide on the right, in an unnatural position?! Remember, we have Bosingwa playing at RB and he will need maximum help from the wide player in front of him to deal with Ribery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Danny there means we will be exposed to lahms crosses. We really don't have many options.Every time? the only game i can remember where he constantly fucked up was against Barca away, can't believe he scored in that game.Usually he's pretty decent out wide, he tracks back and can actually cross.And Malouda can pass? lol really? i don't see one single advantage of starting Malouda. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
