Right-back Ramires?

Ramires is the only player we have that offers us pace in the middle of the park and that is vital. If we play Lampard and Mikel then all it takes is for someone like Yaya Toure to drive through those 2 with pace and we are fucked. We can't have a team full of pure blooded footballers who just want to move the ball, we need players who work off the ball too and nobody does that better then Ramires is our team. I don't care how many goals Lampard gets us, the fact is up until the end of the season the guy was a liability. Ramires and Mikel should start in the CM roles so we have that blend of pace and drive (Ramires) with ball control and calmness (Obi Mikel) then the Hazards, Mata and Marin's of this world can do the things that they are good for. I don't want us to end up at the city of Manchester stadium with 2 slow coaches in midfield because a player like Toure will constantly run past them and that will leave us exposed.

I wonder if we are going to play 3 backs at times.

Give Ramires another shot in the double pivot and have Lampard sit on the bench. Have him play a Giggs type role. If it doesn't work out in the middle of the ground for Rambo, then we can stick him out wide in the winger position and rotate him and Hulk/Eden/Mata.

We need to get younger in my opinion, so Frank will just need to accept the veteran role, that is more likely to be coming off the bench.

Why make a midfielder play right back?Are we going to give Cahill or Terry the chance to play cf too?
