Line up for Sunderland

Cech should start aswell as Luiz over Ivanovic, I'm sick of our CBs looking ordinary against sub-par strikers.

Sturridge will hopefully start over Anelka.

drogba defends and tries to score
sturridge wont get a start yet
cech wont be risked this week
and Luiz has a large head to brain ratio so he wont be starting yet + Ivanovics is the best CB we have and terry wont get droped

Well i've watched every game so far and he has been as ineffective as Torres(much much less so in the Stoke game) so I see no reason to justify a place over him.

Thus why I said hopefully

Cech with one arm is better than Hilarious, almost cost cost us the game against Norwich...

What? Luiz is miles better than Ivan at CB, Ivan and Terry have been struggling with the likes of Grant Holt etc Luiz also needs a decent slab of time before Manu where i'd hope we'd start him so he can rape Rooney + Hernandez again.

- Can't see Josh getting much game time any time soon, hope AVB surprises me though and I wanna see Oriol get some action too along with Luiz.

I'd drop Ramires and would have dropped Torres as Anelka played well when he came on last week but I'd like to see how he fares with Sturridge and Mata beside him.

We need someone who's able to dominate and dictate play in midfield + able to provide quick and incisive balls into our players who operate best in the final third and I'd be shocked if AVB still can't see this.

It's the main reason our build-up play is so slow and lethargic.

Would also drop Bane/Alex for David Luiz to inject a bit of pace/guile into the backline but I'm not sure if he's fit enough to be starting yet. Would reinstate Cech back into the team as well now that he's fit.

Cech
Bosingwa Ivanovic/Luiz JT Cole
Mikel
Meireles/Josh Lampard
Sturridge Torres Mata

BENCH: Hilario;Alex, Luiz/Ivanovic; Meireles/Josh, Ramires; Malouda, Anelka
