We really saw it work today against Newcastle at the start of the 2nd half:
Cech
Paulo Terry Carvo Bridge
Mikel
Essien Ballack Malouda
Drogba Anelka
Similar to AC Milan when they were at their peak a few years back....similar to when we had Crespo and Drogba playing together when we won the title. It's a system that I think gets the best out of all the players in it, if you wanted to include Lampard he could go where Essien is and Essien goes to right back. Joe can play where Malouda is too. Don't have to play it all the time, but we should play it far more and just be confident in the players ability to dominate matches.
If we were playing Utd tomorrow the two systems I'd like to see in the first then second would be:
Essien Terry Carvo A.Cole
Maka
Lampard Ballack
J.Cole Drogba Anelka
then
Essien Terry Carvo A.Cole
Mikel
Lampard Ballack J.Cole
Drogba Anelka
