ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Cant see why F.Lampard cant sit in front of back 4 and spray raking passes like and old school sweeper and save his legs!Essien and Mikel could rotate but with Lampards right foot his passing range would be a great attacking weapon.4-1-3-1-1 formation would be easier to rotate looking at our present squad with a world class cm coming inCechAzpil Cahill Terry BertrandLampard(Luiz)Willian Ramires SchurrleMataTorresCan't see why? Because he's no Pirlo and his passing is beyond overrated by some here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Driver 503 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 ....................Cech................Azpi.......Terry .....Cahill.....Bertrand...........Ramires.....Lampard..........Willian.......Oscar........Hazard........................Torres..................... Like Ivan but he fell asleep for the Basle goal ,Mikel struggled badly in Basle and did not protect the back four ,we cant allow Southampton to press us at home we need to take the game to them and this side will ,no sitting back we need to be compact and not stretched out with a holder keeping us deep with our three AM's looking to attack our two midfielders need to support them together. Otherwise if one just looks to shield the back four we become very stretched and his partner becomes isolated with big spaces for the opposition to work in ,this is our problem . Hazard was rested in Basle and returns,Torres is certain to play and at home Willian may be the answer when we should be looking to push any opposition back and take the game to them at the Bridge.

Jype 6,398 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 What I'm hoping to see:Torres Hazard - Mata - Schürrle Essien - Mikel Cole - Terry - Cahill - Azpilicueta Cech Ramires, Lampard and Ivanovic deserve to be dropped after their performance against Basel and Oscar could use a rest. Cahill should be among the dropped too but it's not like we have any other options at the moment with Luiz injured so I guess he'll have to keep playing unless Mourinho is ready to make a point by giving a chance to either Kalas or Ake. Schürrle was very impressive back in October but hasn't played much since due to minor injuries so now could be a good chance to play him again.

mac.bo 48 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Can't see why? Because he's no Pirlo and his passing is beyond overrated by some here.Just a thought as our cm is a weak link and at 35 he cant do box to box like he used to,so i guess its Franks last season and what our your thoughts on cm?

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm optimistic. I reckon we can get 12 points from 12 from our next 4 fixtures. That puts us in great condition to heat up the title challenge when we face Arsenal at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Don't see why we shan't win this. They are in a false position and this is as good a time as any to see them start falling away. They took 4 points off us last season so we'll get em back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Nathanial ClyneLuke ShawJames Ward-ProwseMorgan SchneiderlinAdam LallanaPart of me would give up the three points just to see our club put out a core of young, mostly English talent like that. Southampton really are a credit to this league, they're fearless and whilst their position may be 'false' it's by no means undeserved. They may only have one song but their fans can be proud of that team come what may and if they do beat us then it won't be by luck.It will be because they're trying to do things in a different way. Hard to hate a team who does that and they've got some genuinely nice supporters in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Mikel over Lampard for this one. Mikel is better under pressure and with Southampton's high pressing game? yeh.Lamps would be better suited playing at the SOL and against Stoke, were he would probably smash in a goal or two.

In fact any team that presses high tends to focus on him in that regard.I also think that leaves us without anyone to actually pass the ball forward from midfield.
