Best CM Pairing?

[NishC300 1,865]

I would like to see an occasion where Chelsea use a traditional 4-3-3 and employ Ramires as center, deBruyne on the RCM and Oscar on the LCM.

I agree. It's worth a shot. Sometimes an experiment pays off, we tried Oscar last season at home to Juve look at how that worked out!

Some of you think Lampards game is just about goals ,a lot of opposing fans fall into the same trap ,why?

answer - because he was a goalscoring midfield phenomenon. However his game has always been much more than goals and the long ball jibe is just plain rubbish,Rammy has the legs and his passing is not the best and Lampard balances this with his intelligence an positioning,but you are right when the time is right as shown against Nowwich which was a major factor in us winning the game Lampard had the vision to play the ball over the top to Demba,making sure they could not push up on us giving us room to play,if you want to call that a high long ball,than good luck. Rammy could not have played those passes in a million years and nor could Mikel ,that is what you call vision.

good pass, but Chelsea need more from center midfield. hopefully, Chelsea's play does not center around Lampard making aerial passes from midfield or arriving late for a shot on goal.

I guess this is a debate of some kind for supporters but it is clear Jose has decided that Lamps and Rammy are our best pair ,the problem is I am not sure we have cover for these two and a midfield signing must be a proirity or one of the young kids to step up Chalobert or Josh? to back up Rammy and Lamps.

,I do not know if Essien is still up to it? and he is now our back up.

Our midfield cannot compete with any club that presses high, that first half was an absolute nightmare.

Ramires deserves a better partner next to him, urgently.

[Phil Driver 503]

Another great combo by Rammy and SFL there,Mikel was useless when he came on he got disposessed terribly once on the edge of our box ,but it was safe to bring him on as a body as the game was dead ,Rammy and SFL are certs to start v City and both will be rested for Arsenal.

Until we buy someone who is top class, it should undoubtedly be Mikel - Ramires. End of.

Ramires - Juan Mata will be awesome!

[haranr 485]

Get De Bruyne next to Ramirez

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Put Schwarzer next to Eva in there!

[Reddish-Blue 2,223]

Get De Bruyne next to Ramirez

totally agree

against the weaker sides, wouldn't mind seeing De Bruyne - Ramires.

How many seasons have Cfc had, to either groom a new Lampard/Essien or buy 1 or 2 we need this type of player to complement Ramires(mvg?/Romeou?)With all the am we have signed we now need more power in the middle of the park.
