Despite you guys all want Meireles on the bench, I want Meireles on starting lineup straight away replacing Ramires. ( Combination between Meireles and Torres is SUPER in FIFA weiiii. Always feed him delicious through ball and great ball control rather than Ramires who is running like there is no tomorrow, but that's in game life la.)

I loike this very much lineup Sir!

My current favourite lineup against other team

CECH
BOSINGWA - DAVID LUIZ - TERRY - COLE
MEREILES - MIKELELE- LAMPARD
STURRIDGE - TORRES - MATA

It works like a charm (FIFA....game... not real life...i know)

Rotation is the key for Lampard. Since AVB have plans for McEachran, why not rotate that wonderkid with him, with more young blood determination i sense our midfield will be dominant just like in Mourinho days.

With the likes of Lucas Piazon, Oriol Romeu , Kakuta and Ulises Davila on hand, AVB definitely have a headache choosing midfield next season i reckon

Nooooooooo! Don't loan out Piazon... judging from several youtube videos, he's quite a promising player with movement like kaka during his AC Milan days,

Romeu on another hand is quite a Defensive midfield BEAST His quality is showing in his international fixtures.

Kakuta, not sure bout his one...seems clumsy and bad first touch...give away ball too easily.

Davilla is another prospect for attacking midfielder with good running capability by he seems too greedy i think. But overall if i got to choose 2 of them to be on the bench would be Romeu and Piazon.Kwality man..kwality.

Not first 11 my friend. if you read my post, the last 2 line is suggestions to put on the bench.

At what age Wilshere , Cesc, Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Lukaku starts going into their first 11 team? At very young age my friend...btw he's 17 if you are wondering. Lukaku is 18. So a gap for 1 year at loan so next year when he'll joining the Blues he'll be 18 too. Too young? About time too for our beloved Chelsea which are aging.

then hence AVB buy Davila, Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, romeu,

Piazon bought by Ancelotti...all these are young players...i just can't brain your idea man that we can't utilize our youth players.

Loan out the promising player this year, next year can get into the bench lineup replacing some old faces on the bench....

U sure Piazon not on starting lineup for Brazil U17?

Not a contradiction in statement, maybe the message in my head not stated correctly put on the keyboard. What's in my head is to get them on the bench when they are available. Piazon will be available to us in January 2012 if i'm not mistaken. So Piazon might get a chance this season to be "utilized", or if it's "too young" or can't break into first team then loan them out until season end. Get them on next season. Others like Romeu, Mceachran, Lukaku is available for selection right? Get them on the bench line up. Kapish?


By the way, that past 5 years is in different management. Now its AVB time, he bring in players that will suit to his style of play. reason of 80% of our lineup hasn't changed is because its solid...backline haven't changed much with addition of David Luiz. But with midfield become kaput since we sold Ballack, Deco and unfortunately our Essien is on MC for quite a long time. Winger..we lost Robben, Duff, Joe Cole...and what do got now? Anelka and Malouda playing on wings. No disrespect to them but they are not the type of pacey + tricky wingers we are so used to during Mourinho days.

So here comes AVB , bring in Meireles, to strengthen the midfield again (romeu can be subbed in with mikel. Piazon / Mceachran for Lampard), brought Mata on the wing / behind strikers ( Sturridge have to settle for right wing or partnering with Torres ) Lukaku can be the new "Drogba". So there u go.

"Utilization"

Chelsea team v Bayer Leverkusen: Cech; Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole; Mikel, Meireles, Malouda; Mata, Torres, Sturridge.

No Drogba, Lampard or Terryeven on bench. I have faith with this line up.
