Alan Thompson should have been given a good run in the team long ago. The diamond formation is shite. Paul Scholes is better than Lampard. Lampard has had a good season, but he hasn't impressed me when it has come to the matches against the Arsenal midfield. I think he is a good domestic player having a good season. Scholes is truly world class.
J'Llord Samuel is more impressive than either Bridge or Ashley Cole. Cole is a liability, too, in that he gets wound up easily and international referees will punish him.
Sven should quit the long ball, direct tactics, and look to play through Gerrard and Scholes, through the midfield. Give Scholes a chance to get into the box and amongst the goals, rather than looking for the shitty ball over the top to Owen.

Samuel's problem is that playing with Villa he hasn't got the experience, I think he will be great in years to come, and has played extremely well at Villa this season, and it has gone pretty much unnoticed by everyone except Villa fans, but when it comes to any form of European match, his experience is sweet F.A.
Lampard didn't play badly against the Arse, but Vieira did kinda shit all over the whole midfield
. He also scored the first goal in the Champions League Quarters 2nd leg, and scored a good goal against monaco. If your talking about performances soley against big clubs this season, his pass to Joe Cole for his goal against Newcastle was top draw, he scored against Newcastle at the Bridge, and against United at the Bridge. He has by far been our best player this season, and has been vital in many matches, and unlike Scholes he doesn't dive in the box, and he doesn't do stupid challenges, he should be given a go, Scholes has not had the most impressive season, and Lampard deserves a spot more then Scholes IMO.
