Sheva has been left behind with Ricardo and Ballack.

I think we will see

----------------Cech

--Ferreria--Boula---Terry---Ashley

------------Maka-----Mikel

--Lapard------Essien-------Cole

-----------------Drogba

Unless Robben is fit .. even if he is, i doubt he will start.

I think Maka-Mikel-Essien in Midifled will make us super solid. Lampard and Joey will give us attacking creativity and Drogba will be a terror upfront.

We CAN get to the final. The temptation to pack the midfield with Maka-Mikel-Essien to take on Alonso, Gerrard and Mascherano/Sissoko will be too much for Jose, and hopefully thats what he will do, with Boula alongside Terry.

thoughts ..

I like your formation and think it would be my choice though not sure if I would play kalou.

But I really don't think Jose will pick Boula. He doesn't seem to like him at all.

But playing Essien out of midfield is a waste

Snap!! That is exactly the line up I have gone for. Plug up the midfield and have Kalou, Robbie and Ben Sahar on the bench ready for emergencies should we need a late goal (which I don't think we will).

But playing Essien out of midfield is a waste and he has seemed a bit dodgy at the back in a few games
