I like the look of that midfield actually. I'd also start Luiz

Well Luiz is a controversial one for me. Under normal circumstances I would play him no doubt. But we need some solidity at the back and for that reason I would want a Terry-Alex combo at the back.

For Wolves and Man City atleast. We'll see after that.

Team for Wolves:

----------------Cech----------------
Ivan----Terry---Terry---Bertrand
---Meireles--- Romeu---Lampard
---Studge-----Torres------Mata--

Amusing how we never want to make the most out of our younsters yet still want the Gotze and co-Youngsters whos clubs put alot of trust in.

Two Terry's

My problem with that is that Alex has been less solid and made more big mistakes than Luiz this season. If anything I would be inclined to try Luiz-Alex

What I'd love AVB to do is if McEachran, Bertrand, Romeu and Lukaku (if he starts) all impress vs. Liverpool like they did vs. Everton and the first team still as it is, for them all to get chances in the league.

Goezte is an exceptional young talent

-
Yetstill,we win and keep a cleansheet when Alex plays.

Terry----Alex

My point is...look at our bench.
Merieles,Romeo,Bertrad

Stop looking at Goetze

Bias that is a fair point

We don't trust our own youngsters, but start wetting ourselves over a teenager who's been trusted by their club

(slight exaggeration)

I would actually like to see a Luiz-Alex partnership

The Terry-Luiz one ain't working

Maybe they'll also have good communication?

Also, I have rubbished what I'm about to say on many occasions, but...

I wouldn't actually mind Luiz in midfield IF we buy another CB and BOTH Essien and Mikel go

Boas, Alex was poor against Blackburn. Made another mistake and Cech saved him the blushes. If that was Luiz..


I've also rubbished Luiz out of CB...but I've never seen Luiz as a DM really. However, I would like to someone suggested last night that Luiz should be tried in just a normal midfield position. I would actually like to see that one day. He can pass, score, and dribble and can also defend on the other end of the pitch. Could possibly be like the attacking box-to-box players we were talking about..But
I still see his future at Chelsea at CB

Found a link saying Anzhi want to spend 20 million on Malouda

Then they can have Carlo in charge, so that Zhurkov gets demoted to the bench again

If Anzhi do actually appoint Carlo, and he buys Malouda

I genuinely believe that Yuri will be fuming, maybe even hand in a transfer request immediately

Is Milos Krasic any good, lots of rumours going around that say he will eave in January and that Chelsea and City are front runners for his signature.

He is a fantastic player. Brilliant on the ball, fantastic dribbler. Watched him for CSKA against United at Old Trafford and was in awe. We were linked heavily with him after that and i certainly wanted him.

Morning

Krasic is inconsistent,drifts in and out of games.

No Gazza I don't.

Slow down

Agree with cmf, on Krasic's day he's nearly unplayable but he was very inconsistent last season.
