    I'm beginning to buy into the idea that Benzema would fit more like a LF rather than a CF/Striker/centralized role. We haven't seen a manager attempt playing him like this. Most of the time they make it an "either-or" with Higuain, instead of playing Benzema where he continuously floats to (might as well play him to his strength?).

    Anyways, I like that formation and personnel selection, minus VDV. I'd possibly start Canales there instead to see how he mixes it up first.

    Hope we sell Drenthe and M.Diarra soon.

    This is what i thought would happen when we signed him. I thought he would play the LWF (floating into the central striker position sometimes with Ronnie becoming LWF and Pipita going to the RW........ SIGH. I had such dreams :() with Pipita in the middle and Ronnie the RWF. During his time at Lyon he was deadly coming in from the left. He tried doing that on his own here but Ronnie, Kaka and Marcelo would end up being on the same left wing most of the times. Made it diffcult. Also, for a LWF to be really effective the central striker has to be very sharp, very intelligent. Like a Ruud. Don't think Pipita has that kind of intelligence.

    Anyway, i thought the age of Benzema and Higuain would start but it never did and now it seems like its an either/or situation. Plus Benzema's attitude has really really disappointed me. I'm his biggest fan on these boards and i was overjoyed when he signed with us but it has been a nightmare so far. The guy has to pick it up this year. Having said that the public opinion about him has really plummeted and some of the flack he gets is unjustified seeing as how this is his first year outside of his hometown.

    When I have seen Benzema on the left, cutting in, for me he has just been way too predictable, with his shots mostly missing the target and the lack of assist, thought he was pretty useless there. But of course, he has not been on form since he has been here really.

    -------------Casillas


    Ramos---Pepe---Albiol---Marcelo


    ----------Xabi---Lass


    ------------Canales-------------

    P.Leon-----------------Ronaldo
    -------------Higuain

    Love this formation. Maybe VDV for Canales.

    Maybe to start of with, but I feel can ales is one of those players that, if you show some faith and be patient with him, he could become a world class talent very quickly.

    Me too, and VDV to start as well. Though Jose seemed very very good at rotating players at Inter, especially with all of the competitions we'll be in, Canales won't have any issue getting a good chunk of minutes to grow.

    No, just curious as to knowing who'd most likely be facing Contento tomorrow:)

    Could be Pedro Leon, Ronnie, Juanfran or whoever Mourinho feels like playing on the right... though we are most likely to play without a winger in the traditional sense.

    I agree, that's my favorite line up as of now. I think the LB position could be debated between Marcelo and Arb, should be interesting who Mourinho will decide to use. I hope we'll be using this line up with Carvalho and Garay of course.

    With the arrival of Carvalho, I've been trying to think of some different lineups. What do you all think of this one:


    Higuaín

    Ronaldo Canales PedroLeón

    Xabi Pepe

    Marcelo Carvalho Albiol Ramos

    Casillas​

    We can always rotate Van der Vaart with Canales and put Ronaldo on the RW if di Maria plays instead of León.

    I think that we will only see Pepe and Carvalho play together only a few times. Both are injury prone, i don't think that Mourinho will risk playing both of them.

    What have people seen from Khedira that make them think he is going to be a starter?

    You can apply that same question to every other player.

    Thank you Dr. Obvious, but for the sake of this discussion I was applying it to Khedira since I see him in a lot of people's formations.

    No need for attitude. This thread is mainly for what people want to see, not what we will actually see isn't it?

    So I can't ask about why people want to see something?

    I'm not doing this "song-and-dance" with you okay? I asked a question, you're not obligated in any way to answer, so if you don't want to discuss it move along, thanks again.

    Ok, I just don't see why you treat every other poster beyond your circle of friends with such hostility. It's annoying to be honest.
