who from chelsea would .....

[brendan]

The point of MY thread was, if we were to combine the two sets of players, what would be the starting line up?

No need for another thread.

---------------------------Cech--------------------

Finnan---------Terry------------Gallas----------Cole/ Bridge

-------------------------Makelele---------------------

--------Gerrard-----------------------Ballack----------

---------Robben----------------------Cole------------

------------------------Shevchenko-------------------

[Nic83]

Hers mine:

----------------------------cech--------------------------------



Finnan----------------terry---------Carra----------------Riise/cole





cole-------------gerrard--------Makelele-----alonso/ff-------robben/speedy






----------------------------Sheva---------------------------



Manager= Rafa of course

[nebbers]

Ashley Cole

[LFCman]

I wouldn't take Makelele tbh. The trio of Alonso, Gerrard and Sissoko is as good as any central midfield in the world.

Terry over Hyypia and Sheva, Drogba and Robben would make it in.

However we'll have to see how valuable Pennant and Gonzalez prove to be for our side. Come May lets hope that we'll be saying that we'd rather them.

And i'd take Reina over Cech.

More physical, more commanding and an excellent sweeper which is what we need.

[bazza76]

Essien can pass.

Id agree with that, but have to say, i like momo's work rate, If Essien could have a similar type of work rate as momo, it would be an easy decision, as Essien has alot more tallent. It's a pity, or maybe its not really a pity, that Jose doesnt know how to use his tallents properly.

Well why didnt YOUR thread say ....if you were to combine both teams what would be the strongest team??

MY thread is from the point of an LFC supporter and taking into account the realative merits of Sami/JC playing togethor allready etc.

sorry you feel you had to write that, just make your threads clearer in future ....hope i havent spoilt your day by starting this thread

[Nic83]

i'm sure i'll be o.k.

[red g]

Pretty effective?

He's scored 39 goals from midfield in two seasons.

but he couldnt goal hang in our team

[nebbers]

Abramovic






... hang on, come to think of it, no I wouldn't.

[scubykuntz]

Unsure about that, trying to be unbiased here - I don't think Essien impressed/made more of an impact than Sissoko on the league as a whole. Possibly because Essien went to a stronger squad were as sissoko's impact on Liverpool was huge. Still I'd rather have Momo

What are you talking about, Essien made a fantastic impact......










With Didi's knee, amongst others.
Really not much difference between Momo and Essien for me, but then if you factor in age (as in ability to develop further) and value for Money I think we know the answer to that one.

[MattBiscan]

Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas, SWP, Makelele, Lampard, Ballack, Robben, Joe Cole, Drogba.

That's 11!

And maybe Essien

[dww]

I think the hidden factor here is that some people play better in combination. For example I think the Carra - Hyypia partnership is exceptional but I don't think it has the pace to be played without a keeper used to sweeping up behind. I would say a similar thing about the Carra - Terry partnership actually, which I think would be the most talented pairing. So in those cases I would pick Reina, but although a close call in terms of raw talent I would say Cech just edges it.

I would take all of Chelseas attacking players.

442:
-------Drogba Sheva
Robben Alonso* Gerrard SWP
Riise Terry Carragher Finnan
----------Reina

4231:
--------Drogba
Robben Garcia Gerrard
---Alonso Makelele
Riise Terry Carra Finnan
--------Reina

433:
--Cole Drogba Robben
Lampard Makelele Gerrard
Riise Terry Carra Finnan
--------Reina

*Maybe Makelele for Alonso in the 442

Also, if Cole signs for Chelsea then he beats Riise to every line-up.

[mark1975]

Drogba, Sheva and Cole..
