The Mak 4,459 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 But still, I'd be interested to know what you thought of Lampard's performance in the game away to Schalke.Phantasmagorical.What do you expect me to say? With him as a DM it's not like someone can say "oh, he really bossed the midfield!" or "he really dictated the tempo of the game!". He's not going to do something to make it memorable, but Ramires can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What do you expect me to say?Defended well, retained possession well, moved the ball around accurately....basically what's asked of him.It's because he's capable of performing well in matches like this that the performance yesterday was such an aberration. The fact that he wasn't alone makes me think that there was something wrong with our system, rather than some players having an off-day.But back to this match, I'd play Lamps because he did so well in the match away to Schalke. Everyone will suggest different teams to remedy the problems with yesterday's game, and mine is to change the number 10 and right-wing. If people disagree then that's fine.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Wouldn't mind seeing a Ramires/Mikel lineup That's the other option, but I think you need Oscar ahead of them too. Let Mikel sit, let Rami roam forward a bit more and have Oscar go all over the shop like he has done this season to good effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people disagree then that's fine.Yes, and Mikel can do pretty much the same as him except without the need to shackle Ramires.I agree with the need to change the 10 and right wing. I think everyone knows now for sure that Mata and Oscar can't play together. I'd have Willian and Schurrle with Oscar, but it'll most likely be one of Willian/Schurrle with Oscar and Hazard.

Everyone was terrible yesterday, and we just have to hope for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesGodfrey 87 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm expecting a few changes to be made to our starting 11 on wednesday. I reckon luiz, mata and lampard will all drop to the bench. I still think Hazard is a much more influential winger when Bertrand is playing over cole though. He offers us so more offensively that ashley ever does. Cech Iva-cahill-terry-cole Rami-MikelWillian-Oscar-HazardTorres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
