Maybe we could use a lineup :

Mikel

Ramires ----------- Lampard

Malouda

Drogba - Torres

On the paper it would be similar to a 4-4-2 diamond, but Ramires and Lampard wouldn't be used like winger but like they are used right now, ie our midfield won't change. And Malouda would be this 'winger playmaker'...

?

thats a diamond.

Since Anelka likes to think he's a play maker now, let's do..

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Mikel

Ramires - Lampard

Anelka

Drogba - Torres

[magic weeds 446]

just throw 11 players in there and u win matches. combine all formations except 8-1-1

[Swoopz 183]

Not sure if I would trust Anelka as a playmaker lol

[Corlett 202]

Whateverwe play, it'll be asymmetric no doubt.

[J.F. 1,484]

Cech

Ivanovic-Luiz-Terry-A.Cole

Essien

Ramires-Lampard

[4-2-4]

Anelka/Yossi/Kalou/Essien can play RAM/LAM/RW/LW if needed... for now

------------------- Torres ------- Drogba -----

-- Malouda -------------------------------------

------------ Lampard ----- Ramires ---------

----------------------- Essien --------- Bosingwa

-- Cole -------------------------------------------

-----------------Terry ------ Luiz ----------------

------------------------ Pete ----------------------

I think that could work, the right back would have to put a shift in though.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I realy dont get how a lot of you let Essien seat on the bench... are you crazy?!

I would go for this:

Iva-----Alex --Terry----Cole

-------------Mikel------------

---- Essien-----Malouda

-----------Lampard---------

------Torres---- Drogba----

Ramirez, Bosingwa and Luiz can be in there too, but i think this is the best for now.

[termninja 5,290]

I like the Christmas tree idea, with offensive right and left back exploiting the wings and Essien and Mikel/Ramires covering for them I think we can be quite dangerous.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I realy like whats Sh0n3x suggest ^

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Nice idea Sh0n3x however my only concern is about Drogba and his position in that. Would he stick to it..

Well I've been seeing him play pretty deep this season and do a similar thing to Anelka but less. It's like everyone in our team wants to bring others into play and nobody is there waiting in front of goal. How many times have you seen we send in a cross and nobody is there to receive it? Now, with 2 players behind Torres they can buzz in to receive a cross which can make us more dangerous in the box, 3 players in box is better then1 ey? But also these 2 players can return deeper if needed.

This is the only formation I could see us playing now while using Both Drogba, Torres and Anelka/Malouda.

you are all putting david luiz in the right spot but he always played in the left sport of central defenders. terry cant play in the right spot?
