Or possibly even Matic. About fucking time!

Has the Mikel love in ceased then? You are all going to sadly miss that 90% successful pass rate when it is replaced ,the only issue is ,will he hang around a pick up his salary for the four years he was given on contract by Emenalo? and will any other club in the world be stupid enough to buy him ,I think he would fit in well at Spurs.

The best midfield would be Luiz alone in a sweeper style role, and add a second striker up front to help the current isolated lone man. We can't defend anyway so why not just go for it and outscore teams!

Yeah i like the idea of that also,epecially against physical teams it would even it up with our 3 amigos,ivan,cahill,terry to give a more balanced team,also Ramires/Oscar would give loads of movement&energy in this area especially when we dont have the ball

Luiz/Mikel/Ramires/Lampard.

I have to say I'm keen on the Rami / Luiz combo. Better distribution than Mikel, good defensively and good going forward.

Rami and Luiz form the greatest midfield partnership of all time potentially and we are set to dominate Europe for the next 8 years with them so no need to buy any midfielders for the foreseeable future. The way they controlled the tempo of the game, linked defense and attack seamlessly and distributed the ball expertly against Hull is stuff of legends. even Xavi and iniesta would be proud.

Mourinho seemed to think it was a good idea, even if you dont.

Do we really need another thread about the pivot?

Jose is doing it cause off current lack off options not because he wants to, he wants Luiz in midfield about as much as he wanted Essien atCB in 2007.

When MVG returns to go along with the hopeful arrival off Matic, only a injury crisis will mean Luiz ever returns to midfield.

Luiz in midfield is a plaster on the wound solution, at best.

We don't. Merged.

Also 'pivot' is a stupid term.

Just let me know what I am allowed to discuss, maybe in the form of a list of approved subjects you deem worthy of discussing on a forum about discussing issues affecting our Football club. Thanks.

Or how about you just don't start threads for subjects we have already have threads for..

Ironically Luiz does provide more attacking intent when he plays in centre- midfield, him being a "centre-back" and all.

Our best CM/pivot pairing to me- Luiz and Ramires ( I do realize Lamps is playing out of his comfort zone in that deep midfield/pivot role) I reckon things are going to be very interesting if we throw Matic in the mix.
