well, just want to comment about the diamond formation. i believe its has been ancelotti' formation since his days in milan. (4-3-1-2)
i think lampard is not really suitable at the position at the top of the diamond (that -1- in the formation). its because of his style of play i suppose.
compared with milan, his playing style is quite similar to pirlo (minus the defensive approach) so i guess lampard is best in that -3-.
his currrent position, behind the striker, require creativity, same like yesterday match, player like joe cole.

and about the winger, we all know CA doesnt play winger (again, same in milan)
well, not really the same case IMO. last season, we can trash average team, but struggled against top teams as example against other big4.
while this season, as we all know, still maintain 100% record against other title rivals.
thats a good news! err, wheres the source?
