Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ryan Bertrand is not a Left Midfielder , and not a Left Winger.That is all.For this game. And forever.I hope we play the right personnel and formations that suit the players and a system..... for some reason we as a club are stuck with a 4-2-3-1, when it is possible our strengths lie in other formations.agree4-3-3 is the best usually but at the moment we are fucked anyway cos we got no DM, so a 4-1-2-1-2 with the midfielders interchanging in some way would be adequate. But it is feckless as we all know we got no tactical plan B and Rafa will continue with a 4-2-3-1. the problem is u have to play one out of Marin, Bertrand, Torres. I bet we will lineup this:---------Turnbull-------Azpi--Iva---Terry---cole-------Lamps-Ramioscar----Mata-----Bertrand-----------Ba------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstreet09 499 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Why do we play Lampard as a central midfielder ? He clearly doesn't have the legs to defend , we should try him as our No.10 and play Mata with Ramires , he will dictate and control the match much better and effectively . What we clearly are missing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we clearly are missing so far.great thinking... a person who can barely tackle in the double pivot plus he would have to fall back continously rather than be the only player who can make a difference for us in the last 3rd specially. and with the amount of time mata has played i would expect him to fall down to the ground at half time..

termninja 5,290 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Found this on twitter. Sigh, we can have 2 teams from the player we have sent on loan.So? Besides Lukaku and Courtois, nobody is ready to play for us week and week out. Better for them to be on loans...Yet, even with that, most of our fans want to see us sign multiple players...
