LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 where is Ramires ?!It's Goal, were you expecting them to get it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I heard the same about Eto'o but last season proven that duo Eto'o - Milito is lethal for rival defence.Eto'o - Milito failed. Mourinho changed the system after a month or two because of that and Eto'o played as a left attacker/midfielder for the rest of the season.Btw, I actually like the the goal.com line-up but it would be unfair to pick Malouda over Ramires judging on current form. But if Malouda does play well, that midfield could become great. That midfield has skill and work rate. The only small problem is the fact that Frank always plays on the left and could be less effective on the right. Some may say that small things like that don't but it really does.

I want the better for the team, even if it means Drogba on the bench.I believe that Carlo will try to use both in first games, but I dont see how it can work; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two-striker system with two pure strikers has never worked out, one will have to adjust the way they normally play. And I doubt if they one of them will want to do that or more importantly if one of them can do that without performing at a lower level.

NoFear 23 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Why I believe the 2 striker combo will work is because Drogs isn't the old Drogs anymore. I dunno if its his malaria or anything else. but he just dusnt get on the receiving end in the 6 yard box anymore. He is more interested in setting up others and is dropping deeper and wider. His overall play if you have observed this season has been outside the box. A classic example yesterday was when cole made an excellent run in the 2nd half behind the Sunderland defense and crossed it across the 6 yard box without looking for options. Of course, it was awful to watch Cole crossing to empty space and see the ball run out of play. But the point is no one was there to capitalize on it. FT9 is someone who thrives on those kind of opportunities. El nino and Drogs would make a good pair with nico/yossi behind them. I dont really care who scores amongst them. As longs as the system works as a whole, we should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't the Drogba of old who used to be the highest man on the pitch at all times.As longs as the system works as a whole, we should be good.That's the most important thing and that is what I was slightly concerned about. I just hope players don't get forced into the starting line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
