I know he is a legend and may come up with a goal once in while now esp penality. but in the last 30 min he has done absolutely nothing. we play boring simply.because of lack of quality in the middle. TSO need to run some risk and try other options especially one of Luiz in midfield. I know we are away but our match is so boring. I don't think our midfield can will be able to contain city on sunday. our skilled players don't get good service.
Totally agree don't see what Lampard brings to the table.
Agree we need someone with great quality in the middle. someone who can receive the ball, turn, and run into space then play a good ball. Like modric or wilshere. alongside either mikel or ramires would make our play and control of the game improve so much. I think that luiz should really play there. we would be amazing.

At last pb1989 is reasoning, I have always maintained since last season that lamps is an absolute legend but we need a willian a KDB or an oscar in that place to dominate teams. {Ed002's Note - You need to sign in.}
Lamps can still offer something to the team. But I would like to see KDB be given a chance in that role. Especially against less physical teams, but against City I think he will opt for Lamps and Rami with Cahill and Terry behind them. It's our best option for now and the safe one.
Why not luiz and ramires in the middle. I still remember luiz in midfield against everton he was solid. its going to be a physcial battle in the middle and we would need luiz to keep it stable and ramires to run up and down the midfield which he can easily do!

Hey Eds, can you please tell me whether Rooney still is the main striker target? {Ed002's Note - Rooney is not a target now.}
Thank you :-)

I got a feeling whoever starts up front for us tonight will get a brace
And how right you were.
22 Oct 2013 21:40:41
U're right mate.
Now if only I put money on that hey

Afternoon Ed, seems a few months since you were asked if you had any info on potential stadium developments. Have you heard anything new since Feb? {Ed002's Note - Since February there have been plenty of updates given. One (the most recent) was two or three weeks back - you should find and digest that.}

Who do you guys want the attacking trio to be tonight then?
I can see Oscar retaining his place in the team but what about Schurlle? Should he start in place of Willian or Mata?
Will Hazard be as effective on the right? With Schurlle playing in his best position on the left?
I think Jose will go with Hazard Oscar Schurlle. (sorry Mata) And I would agree with that as we play away to the strongest team (bar us) in our group.

What and who does every one think is our strongest XI.
Cech
ivan luiz cahill/terry cole
rami lamps
oscar hazard schurlle
eto'o
Cech
Azpi iva terry cole
Luiz rami
Mata oscar hazard
Eto'o/torres
Cech
Ivan Luiz Terry Cole
Ramires Oscar
Hazard Mata Schurlle
Eto
Eto'o over Torres, interesting, I'd go
With DJALLSTARS but with Torres up front
I just think Eto has still got the killer touch in front of goal, which Torres has obviously lost. The way Eto scored against Cardiff, I could see torres taking an extra touch and having his shot blocked which seems to happen a lot with him.
Don't get me wrong, I think Torres is performing but again not scoring.
Eto WILL score goals and Jose knows this.
