Badboy 1,526 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well deco and ballack have both been shite so one of them i guess ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Our midfield should be: Lampard Mikel Essien and Deco if on form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool 388 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 When's Essien back? Well then it would be: -------------Mikel----------- ------------Lampard--------- ------Cole------------Kalou-- and drop Deco and Ballack Once Essien's back, then I guess Mikel Lampard Essien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i think use are being a bit harsh to ballack, he has just come back from injury and has hardly had any real starting opportunities, he brought so much to our squad last season i think it would be a bad idea to drop him unless he does not start playing good sometime soon.

.Cee 50 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Essien coming back soon who do you drop in midfield if i was Chelsea boss i would drop ballack he brings fuck all to the team and when was the last time he scored a goal its time he move on we need to give essien more of a attacking role he is to good to play the holding midfielder and by the way thats mikel's role now in the team What happened to your punctuation keys?

I'd like us to play 4-2-3-1, the tactic that Scolari used for Porgugal: Mikel - Essien J.Cole - Lampard - Kalou Drogba/Anelka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Deco or Ballack... Maybe Deco to start with, but of course Scolari wont drop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinctek 469 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i think we should keep mid as it is and take mikel out and bring essien back. not a big fan of mikel and he is no way as good as essein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 well Mikel is like the real arse-hole defensive midfielder type a guy. he had some really good matches, i think. to be fair, Essien is way better, but Mikel was always a good option. and Scolari showed what he is capable (Mikel) of... I am so happy that Essien is coming back soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) If we play the side on form, then it looks like we'll be dropping Terry and Deco some time soon, and there's no chance of that. Scolari has his favourites and unfortunately the only player I can see not featuring in the midfield is my player of the season so far; Mikel. With that being said, I hold Essien in the highest of regard, but I feel in terms of a defensive midfielder, Mikel comes up trumps. However, going forward, Essien offers more than Deco and Ballack combined if you ask me. Edited December 22, 2008 by BlueLion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 For 3 in midfield with everyone fit i would have to pick Mikel, Essien and Lampard. Which for me would be our most dynamic midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) As much as I love and respect JT, he's in a bit of a slump right now. His leadership qualities are unquestionable, but defensively he has been very suspect in the last few games. Fair enough, he doesn't have Riccy by his side at the minute, but he isn't confident when he's playing now. Whereas he used to have the ability to read where an opponent would go, now he has to pull them back and concede needless free kicks. He's in a bit of slump at the moment, is our JT, although with that being said, no-one's really impressed me greatly in the last few weeks. Everyone could do with a kick up the arse if you ask me. Maybe I'm just over-analysing his performances, and knowing JT he's probably playing with a broken leg However I've got every confidence in his ability, and I highly suspect JT will prove me wrong with a series of solid performances at the back.

Elliott 7 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Drop Deco and Ballack, they both need boots up their arse. Bring in Essien when fit obviously and Drogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Agree about that. I thought JT was excellent before that tackle, and as reckless as that was, it was certainly not a red card. Phil Dowd strikes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
