According to @RobBeasley this is the team for Sunday,... Courtois Brana Zouma Jt Dave Cahill Ramires Hazard Cesc Willian Costa

ffs we will lose if Cahill startrs in midfield would rather Filipe Luis or Dave as an anchorman or even Ake or RLC

-------------Courtois----------

Ivanovic Terry Zouma Azpi

--------------Cahill-------------

-----Ramires Fabregas------

Hazard---------------- Willian

------------Costa---------------

Doesn't look to bad to me considering the circumstances.

Cahill was easily passed by the Spurs midfield in January, rather we have a good tackler like Filipe Luis in there rather than Cahill or even Ake his a proper DM, if we are playing Cahill we are setting up for disaster as we will seat back and invite pressure

But it's not an issue if he is easily passed as Terry and Zouma will always be there. He's just an extra defensive barrier. It's a very defensive team for sure.

Yep those days=barely winning a couple of trophies through sheer luck mostly and winning nothing but a 2nd rate Europa league trophy. Also back then Ramires was better than he was now imo, now he is a shadow of his former explosive self.

That was our midfield for 6 months last season and we did it well... with Ramires and Lampard.

We don't have Matic, put Ramires there.

I would play with Cech, Azpi, Iva, Zouma, Terry, Ramires, Fabregas, Cuadrado, Willian, Hazard and COsta.

Cahill as DM would actually be a Mourinho type move. He already did it against Man city, and was likely going to do it again before Burnley scored.

I can't really guess how he'll be defensively, but going forward; Cesc would have to drop deep all the time to get the ball from him and Ramires.

Well, even if we were to lose then, I guess seeing Cahill in DM continously backing off and ending up behind our CB's and the bewilderment on the faces of Terry and Zouma as it happened would at least be good for some laughs :blink:

beat me to it! lol he'll start in DM guys but will back off into a second goalkeeper, thats what jose was working on in the tactical session today! ;)

i think that if we are going to start ramires and cesc in midfield (for the record i really hope Ake plays) then a think a 4-4-1-1 would be best bet, like rafa did.

courtois

bane zouma terry Dave

Cuadrado Ramires Cesc Willian

Hazard

Costa

within a solid bank of 4 in front of the defense, ramires and fabregas will have more undertstanding of which positions to occupy, the width will be taken so surely they cant go missing in the middle!

Is Jose seriously going to play Cahill ahead of Ake? lol, why the hell is he in our squad? if he's never going to play we should have loaned him out or at least let him play for the youth side...

Ake is being completely wasted .. and it is two years now

Ramires in the pivot as the destroyer is risky, but nowhere near as bad as some are trying to make it out to be on here.

Remember the days of the Lampard - Ramires pivot? He's played okay there before. He can do a job.

Plenty were cursing the Lampard - Ramires pivot if I remember correctly, but I agree Ramires is better than people are making him out to be on this thread.

Hoping for Aké to show his worth. Because he is better than most people think.
