If Luiz play DM, he can defend 'freestyle' anytime he wants

Mikel is not doing that bad of a job. I just want to see what Romeu or others in DM position can offer.

I still want to see Oscar play, his appearances from the bench have been mediocre, but i have seen few good glimpses of his ability. Mata-Hazard-Oscar is the ultimate creative team we have. Lampard however is not running the show at the middle of the park. Meireles did a better job against Newcastle. And we still have Ramires.

We have a good squad, and i'm happy with the options we have.
So its all up to RDM.

I think lamps can still be very useful. He always position himself very well. He cant dribble and hes not much of a hard shooter but he scores alot of goals. His presence will sort of slowly unsettling the defence and cause error. He is aging but look at scholes, he is a geezer but still effective. Id swap anydays

Lamps is like a bugatti badly need a re-tuned.

but his style of playing dragging the whole team down. he likes to play slow tempo football wor.

Slow but firm,
Fast but clumsy.

These 2 separates a player. Except for CRonaldo and Messi, these 2 are aliens already. haha.

But Hazard is our penalty magnet, Lampard can convert them with higher chances. But then, Hazard bagged his penalty that day too.

Sometimes, presence alone can change the magnitude of a game.

^^ ur formation quite ok but i think shud swap hazard / oscar.

oscar prefer in deeper role. he loves to collect the ball from behind
hazard = free role

we will be able to compete provided RDM uses the right tactic/formation against them..

really hoping to see more formations and tactics to be use by RDM depending on the situation..
instead of sticking to current formation only for every games..

and maybe even drop Lampard and Torres if they dont perform good enough..

by the way we still haven't seen Marin/Cesar/Moses in action..
Oscar also not at his best...

the best line up for me would be

                    Cech

Cesar -- Ivanovic/Cahill -- Terry -- Cole
          Oscar/Lampard -- Mikel
      Moses/Marin -- Hazard -- Mata

                DS23/Torres

with essien gone to RM maybe we can see Luiz in the double pivot position?
compete with mikel maybe? because i think Luiz in better than Mikel to initiate an attack movement

Exactly! I don't understand why RDM or AVB doesn't want to use Luiz as a Toure type player!. And with a creative midfield now, there is no reason why Torres cannot perform!

He's still ball-shy some time.. I think it's quite normal la for players, but since we see Torres on a higher level, comes the expectation also.

During his Liverpool spell, he used to score hard-goals, with techniques. Now macam poacher aje. But I can't deny he's so good at giving away assists. But yea, like you all said, he needs the selfishnessconfidence to attempt himself too.
