Has Rafa found our best formation?

[Parm]

Hobbs again is he related to you?

it's AFII's Son.

A massive gamble.

Gerrard doesn't have the discipline to play as a holding player. He wanders too much which is why a lot of fans say his best position is behind the striker.

I know that, but he is the one we have left.

Sissoko losing the ball in that position would mean chance after chance for Blackburn and Lucas isn't a defensive player.

I disagree fella, I think we'd have a lot more passing and creatvity, no need to worry about crosses as we'd be looking for more instinctive passes to Torres and BAbel and SG would be able to run on past Torres and provide a lot of support to the attack. And if you factor in the shooting ability of Babel and SG from distance, we'd look a lotstronger

Rafa does not bother with out attacking play, he is more bothered about stopping the opposition no matter whether its top quality Arsenal or basement Bolton.

Stevie is our only central midfielder that can play as a holding midfielder in a decent way if Mascherano is out.

So there is really not any other option left. Hobbs can of course play there. He did that for the reserves last season but that would really be a gamble.

SG is a good HOLDING MF?????

Is Mascherano injured? He seemed fine after a bit of a kick, probably some bruising. Lucas should step in. He is very athletic, box to box type, really good passing

ah ok, fair comment. But if he let the team attack...

[Johnny]

It would have been if those striking wingers weren't Voronin and Kuyt, If they were Kewell and Babel then we might be onto something

An eternally injured winger and a 20 yr old kid.C`mon.

Too little too late

And maybe the kid should play

Maybe two expierienced internationals should play in their place.We stopped Arsenils 13 game winning streak today.

Well we stopped Arsenal winning but we were playing at home and should have been looking to win.

We were completely outclassed for most of the match after we scored.

The technical ability of Arsenal's players only served to highlight the limitations of some of ours.

yep Kewell has quite a lot of international experience, Babels got his fair share, you can;t be talking about voronin and Kuyt tho, cos they were ****
