We just to need to cripple Deco in the 1st minute, they got nothing if you take him out.

Just hope Lampard is injured, he always scores his best goal of the season against us
He relishes Goodison. He really does. He described Goodison as the most intimidating ground he has ever played at.
Be very harsh on anyone to be dropped after that performance. Subs bench at best for Saha
Chelsea will run Castillo ragged.
He's definatley not up to stopping players like Lampard and Deco.
I can see where HB's coming from though. With Castillo in there Arteta gets the freedom to be the play maker like he did yesterday. Don't get me wrong he's good in the holding role aswell but I'd rather have him box to box where he can do everything.
Having Rodwell or Castillo next to him would realistically be better so he does have someone behind him who's going to stay back. When he plays with Cahill and Fellaini, Arteta has to stay back and hold his position.
I definatly want to see Saha in there though, I think he's a class act. It'll be interesting to see what Moyes does.
Mikel rarely joined attacks tbh yesterday?
He was covering Castillo too much.
Sometimes, more than individual performances, you have to look at team shape. Now I didn't see the match yesterday but from what I've read on this forum and in the press, I think we may have found the right balance in the last 3 games. It really is a thin line between success and failure at this level. I hope Moyes has a clearer view than me on the difference.I see your point, i mean who would you drop. You could MAYBE drop Castillo, but while i feel he didnt have the best of games, he did give us some defensive cover, which allowed the rest of the midfield to push forward. Its a tough 1 for Moyes.
