just wondering who chelsea fans think should partner john terry in the heart of the chelsea defence?
both are quality defenders, but carvahlo has been favoured to gallas at CB since chelsea's reign of success with gallas proving his versatility at LB and RB as well as sometimes CB,
however some believe that galas is better than carvahlo at CB as carvahlo tends to commit too many fouls close to goal?
its also been said that gallas has become unsettled at chelsea as he has been played out of position and that consequently he may leave in the near future, in my opinion chelsea cant afford to offload gallas to another competitor,
so the question must be asked who should be the CB partner for john terry at chelsea?

I say it should be Gallas whenever possible. I'd venture that at least 75% percent of us on this board will share that view as well.

At least. The numbers with Gallas at the back rather than Carvalho are stark. Last season nearly all the goals scored against us were with Carvalho playing CB.

Ricky is a wonderful player...but give me Gallas any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Thank you very much.

Carvahlo....it should definitely be Huth and Carvalho starting.

Gallas over Carvalho for sure. Dicky gives away too many dangerous set-pieces and penalties.

If the question is who is better, it is between
Gallas and Terry, because Gallas is surely better
than Carvalho.
Unless the thread means, 'who should start'.

Unless you're from Portugal, the answer is Gallas.

Does Peter Crouch suck?
Well we were asking ridiculously obvious questions......

Appearently Mourinho believes Gallas and Carvalho are both too good to leave out of the starting XI.
I for one come from the school of thought that says: it isn't as important to put out the best players, as it is to put out the right ones.
We need to stop trying to force square pegs into round holes(Gallas at fullback, especially when we have good fullbacks), and stop this nonsense.

i guess mourinho's reply would be that if the defence aint broken then dont fix it, or in other words if the chelsea defence is conceding so little and has done with gallas at fullback for over a year now then why should the defence be tampered with?

Gallas is clearly better. In Ricky wasn't Portugese and from Porto, he wouldn't even be at the club.
