I think malouda deserves another season, he has been injured a bit but our coach has not given him many opprtunities, the guy is pure quality and would shine at any club but sometimes our rotation/squad selection takes the momentum out of our players. It can't be easy picking a starting 11 out of all those good players but we need to try to stick to a core group of players. I know some people think that having a big squad is good (injury back ups, resting throughout a long season) but it can have also have a negative effect where our players don't have any continuity and struggle to first hit and then keep their form. When Malouda played consistantly at the beggining of the seaosn he was on fire but since then it has gone down hill for him.
You guys will probably hate me for saying what i'm about to say but if it was my way i would not make any drastic player changes this time around. I would even get rid of a few players like Ben Haim and try to implement a core group of players to carry the team. if Lamps or Drog leave then we have a lot to think about but our roster is pretty strong in all positions. Kalou is still young and to date has been promising. In my opinion, Cole and Malouda are the most skilled players on our team and they need to be given the opportunity to play with flair but we don't seem to ever try that. Ballack and Lamps are natural bread workhorses, that we can rely on pulilng goals out of nothing but i don't like seeing them play together (that's just me) but who do you bench????
In a perfect world, i would play 4-4-2 with Essien in a slightly def orientaed mid role, Lamp or ballack as AM, malouda and Cole down the sides and Drog and Anelka as 2 out and out strikers. I no longer like the way we play and want to attack, attack, attack... sorry guys
oh and i forgot to say that SWP is a very bloody good player to have sitting on the bench so unless he wants to leave i hope he stays. Ben Haim and Pizaro should go.
