Looks like we're sticking with Dzeko-negredo, for better or worse.

Well, it's turning out to be a decent partnership to be fair so I'm assuming you're worried about playing 2 up top away from home instead of a solid midfield?

Yes would rather see 5 in the middle.

What I've noticed, and as SheBlue mentions, one of them usually drops to either right or left midfield when we've not got the ball, giving the midfield extra cover. Also, note the defensive positions they both got into in the last couple of games. Both of them were clearing/picking up balls near our penalty area and to be specific, Dzeko's challenge that led to Yaya's 70 yard run and goal.

They both look happy at the moment and to keep that going they both need to play. Pellers isn't going to change his attitude anytime soon though, so not really a talking point mate.

Good points. Let's hope it works again today!

Re my hasn't scored in 9 games.......be scoring today then.

Daft when demichelis, nastasic and Garcia are getting regular football and they are complete shite. He doesn't get pushed over like nastasic, he has brilliant positional sense unlike demichelis and he is an actual football player unlike Garcia. Just fucking stupid.

Hyperbole, much?

It seems like it's become fashionable to badmouth Nastasic, a 20 year old, into oblivion.

Lescott is not much of a footballer tbh & certainly not the Superman some are making him out to be. Decent defender though. Demichelis' positioning, on the whole, is not worse.

Another case of players becoming better the less they play.

We look ramshackle early.

Superman was a midfielder, bald little fella, genius on the ball.
