Will ballack/mikel be available tonight? I'll be watching liverpool vs chelsea at mamak tonight...

Ballack available..Mikel i think nope...I still dont know where to watch the game...

Nice.. with him, 4-4-2 diamond should be fine

------Essien---

Ballack----Malouda--

------Lampard--

Btw, ballack didn't play the last 2 matches..hopefully he'll do well against the pool..

Look like Ballack become a vital part of the diamond...

Are you sure to use Malouda...I prefer Zhirkov or Deco...cuz Deco also available...but to start both of them is not a smart things to do cuz they missed 1st team action cuz of injury...

Yeah ballack plays a vital part in diamond midfield...especially when chelsea played in charity shield...he and essien will rock liverpool's midfield

Deco and zhirkov still not getting enough first team actions...doubt they will start..

I dont know this is true or not..but based on my personal taught...

Chelsea with diamond....

We need a solid CB...and 'flying fullback'...just like Bos and Ashley now...more to Brazil now...

Holding Midfielder...best played by DM position...Ballack,Essien,Mikel..and sometime Deco

3 attacking midfielder...
LM,RM,and AM...

We dont need Winger! Alert to Stoch !

And two type of striker...long range and short range...just like now...Anelka shorter range...Drogba longer range...

Regarding solid CB...i think alex is a very solid one..last season he partnered very well along john terry. Carvalho is more towards a non-nonsense defender...he's like vidic...tacklings everywhere

yap Alex and Terry both solid...and Terry often march to the front when he play with Alex...Alex will be back in a few weeks...read somewhere..

Diamond required a 2 solid defender...cuz or fullback will fly to the front...

Wolrd best fullback always come from Brazil...now they got Maicon and Dani Alves...both wolrd class defender...fight for a spot....I hope our youngster can start to learn to run forward....i mean the LB and RB...they must became RWB and LWB...hehheheh

i agree that malouda isnt suited for the diamond, wide/wing play suits him more. there is no doubt he helped us greatly during hiddink's time where he partnered ashley on the wings. they were both awesome. but now that carlo decides to play a diamond midfield, malouda's expertise doesnt suit it.

i would still go for ballack deco essien and lampard. i hope lampard finds his form again.

ballack deco essien and lampard ... yap totally agree with you..hopefully that will be the lineup for tonight...Joey for Lampard..Zhirkov for Deco...Belleti for Ballack...

can't wait for the match...hopefully chelsea win to regain the league leader.

We now i only trust in Alex compare to Carvalho. At least Alex know how to delay the defender / put the ball out until some cover coming back.

Carvalho will try to fly out to win the ball which some time he fail to.

yap..totally like Vidic right..the best about Ricky..

He is fast..gud against fast striker like torres...Hopefully he can perform tonight..i mean Ricky lah..heheheh

But last year Torres pawn vidic totally.

Still remember when JM was still the manager of chelsea. Carvalho being one of the key player making crucial interceptions and tackles..yeah some were dangerous ones where he tackled with both of his legs from behind. Those were adventurous but not many defenders would be brave enough to do that. Until last season, he lost his position to alex, whom was one of the most consistent defender partnering terry too. I'd still love to watch carvalho playing, well no worries about alex...still 27..still able to last for a long time even to replace carvalho

Btw, I'd be glad to see ferreira playing too...maybe in league cups/fa. Belleti may be aging but he's still doing very well. Just how he dribbles and assists anelka in UCL

damn that dribble was awesome. he got through like two defenders?

fantastic assist..no problem if he be a sub for ballack..

for me instead of trying to play Borini now..better try Sturridge lah..more epl experience....and proven epl goal scorer..i mean he can score lah.....Borini maybe next season lah..with Di Santo return home this January...
