"Torres in the bench against PSG. It's better to play Schurrle as a false 9 rather than Torres as a false football player"

LOL FOREVER!!!!!!!

Well that's what I was saying at the Torres thread.

Playing with Torres is playing with one less man.

So at least give that one extra men to another player.

Movement and runs for a striker are completely different than that for a winger. Not entirely sure Schurrle can play with back to goal. Plus, obviously, the physical aspect. Andre won't be winning any headers against Alex and Silva.

I thought about the headers... still not enough.

If we play Hazard and Oscar smartly, they can make exactly what Schurrle needs for his runs to be effective playing as a striker.

I think the most concerning aspect is the man-marking that obviously happens with strikers and not necessarily with wingers... if the other two move better and smartly, it'll work. But it depends more on them than on Schurrle imo

Not saying it won't work, in fact, I'm very interested to see how it pans out. But like I said, it's a gamble. If PSG give us a lot of the possession, then we'll end up without a target up top and Alex and Silva would have an easy night. But if we play deep and rely on the counter, the speed of the top four can be devastating.

I'm a little nervous about Luiz and Rami pivot. They both go ball chasing. One of them will have to show the discipline they haven't shown previously to curb their instincts cause I do fear they both will run towards the ball and leave the middle exposed.

who is #6 and #8 between the two of them? I suppose Luiz is more fixed and defensive and Ramires a little less?

That's a valid point. I hope they hold well their positions
