But as I have said millions of time,I prefer Cruz to Adriano and I continue to consider the Argentinian striker more reliable and consistent than Adri..

Judging off what? Cruz has barely played 90 minutes this season so that's not a fair call. If anything, hes proved to be more effective off the bench...

He is basing it on last 2 years performance and of course from whatever little time Cruz has got this season, we can say his performances haven't dropped.

Well for me the last 4, 5 games Cruz played last season was piss poor. He's better holding onto the "super sub" tag... I honestly love Cruz but nothing will beat the Adri and Ibra partnership at there best.

Cruz and Adriano are completely different players.

Adriano lies alot deeper than Cruz and creates alot for the team. Cruz is just a finisher.

Screw the useless wingers and play Adriano and Zlatan behind cruz.

Well the Adri-Zlatan-Balotelli lineup was similar. No winger in there.

What time is the game today?
I am sure we will win this comfortably with our stars coming back. But I hope the performance is very poor and Jose realizes that we are long way off from playing a good 433 formation and some changes are needed.

obinna? Crespo must be pissed :p

And Richard Philly must be wanking.

Adriano and Zlatan behind Cruz sounds good, I mean it's not more ridiculous than playing with four strikers and static midfielders.

I personally wanted in the beginning of the season to play a 4-2-3-1 would I think be very strong and balanced for us, but the problem was it got screwed when we failed to capture Lamps, and is screwed now because u would have to take out il trattore and there's no where to put Muntari. Though i seriously don't think we will play anything like u said Azz, which I like think it's a good idea, or many other ideas for most of our games most of our games will include Adri Ibra supported by Balotelli, RQ, or Amantino.

I would have liked to see something like this:

Maicon---------Samuel------------Chivu-------------Maxwell------------

--------------Il Capitano---------------Cambiasso------------------------

---------RQ---------------------Ibra----------------------Mancini--------

-------------------------------Adriano---------------------------------



Jose said in his press conference yesterday there's no difference between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 and if there is it's 5 meters. He just likes the players to roam a bit in the attack with his d and mid line being solid but the forwards do roam quite a bit. He said tactics are to complicated before well maybe so but I still am with u guys if we fail to not have a great 90 minutes hopefully a 90 minutes like the first 45 against Werder and Roma but do it all day then we need to try something new.

Hopefully Ibra can find the net and I'm pulling for an RQ assist to Adri's giant dome.

I hope for Adri's sake that Mourinho plays him as the CF and Ibra as the support. It's painful to watch a goal machine like him whipping in crosses the whole game when he can be scoring goals.

Why? Adriano has done very well in the role he has played so far. He passing has been excellent really, we just need someone to take advantage of them.

He has pretty much made up for our complete lack of any decent offensive minded midfield, in the role he has played as a withdrawn striker.

It would be a complete wate of his ability to have him play as purely a striker, he can offer so much more.

You're excluding our workhorse in midfield = Muntari.

For this formation Zanetti at LB and Muntari in midfield would be better. With 4 attackers, the defence has to be solid.

Ya Ali I know man that's why it sux check the post up there it's what i wanted personally at the begging of the season. If I were to put JZ at LB what's the point lol ur benching the worlds second best LB next to Ashely Cole. With Maicon and Maxwell we have the worlds best RB and second best LB.

Maicon will go down as one of the best RB in the history of football he's just that damn nasty. He will go down as the best RB in Brazils history trumping the likes of Cafu I'm willing to bet on that.

Ashley Cole is good, but not that good.

tbh, I'd prefer playing Cruz behind Adri and Ibra if we are planning to play central. Ibra and Cruz can all switch positions.

Ashley Cole may be a bitch but a really good LB. He may be the only player which has been deservedly hyped by the English media.

4-4-2 should do it..Mancinin and Quaresma supplying the two forwards with crosses...and Zlatan getting out of the area if needed without having no one inside like in 4-3-3.

Plus i would like to see Muntari take some shots too..
