Yo, sup bitchez... I'm writing an article about sitation of our squad in 2004/05 season, when Mou took over and won PL in his first season and situation we have right now. Right now you may be like Why the fuck would anyone compare our squad with squad we had 9 years ago?! Manager should make a starting eleven according to the players we have and blah, blah, blah... But you never know. Maybe Mou looks in the past and sees how succesful 2004/05 squad was and tries to apply certain tactics from that to this squad. Soooooooo... Our starting eleven looked like this. In before some smartass tries to tell me that Robben played in place of Duff, I took this from wikipedia so As you can see we played 433, but what's interesting here is the midfield. It consists of: Defensive midfielder and a damn good one.Box to box midfielderGoalscoring CAMSo, let's start our analysis... GK: Cech = Cech, nothing to discuss really. In future this one will be Courtois. RB: Ferreira = Azpilicueta, really similar players, both really solid in defence and provide treath in attacking situations. I actually believe Mou can develop Azpi in the best RB in Europe. RCB: Carvalho = Luiz, both like attacking, but they're also great defenders, who are, if disciplined, one of the best players in starting eleven. In their vessels there is passionate latino blood, so discipline is even more of big task for Mourinho to deal with. LCB: Terry = Cahill. If we look at the squad we have it's Cahill, Ivanovic will probably be sold to Monaco, so I don't count him. But if we look around the world, I think Papa would be a great option for this spot. I believe he and Luiz would form a great partnership. LB: Gallas =/= Cole. We really don't need CB in LB position anymore. I believe Mou will stick with Cole, but if not there are alwys your Coentrao's and Baines' out there. CDM: Mak =/= anybody. Simply, there is no player like Mak anymore. So, we need to search for second best option. If we look at our squad, the first man who comes up to your mind is Mikel, but with recent rumours, I wouldn't count on him. So I think we should buy De Rossi, 'cause he's my favorite player bitchez. Haha, no really he's perfect for this role. If not, that French guy who plays in Spain or Matuidi could also do the job. CM: Tiago = Ramires. If you can think of any more Mourinhoesque player than Ramires you deserve a cookie. Nobody actually knows what Rami is one (some suggest exstasy, some cocain), but it must be really something good, 'cause he has damn load of energy. CAM: Lampard = De Bruyne/Oscar. I believe Mata will be sold. Don't ask me why, that's just my feeling. So De Bruyne and Oscar would really be perfect for this role, especially De Bruyne who I see as Lamps' replacement and one of the most underrated talents in the world. Fuck Neymar. RW: Cole = Hazard. They are similar players, although I don't know wheter will Hazard play on right next season? Probably wings will be swapped. Hazard will play on left and....... .....Schurrle on right. Yeah, LW: Duff = Schurrle. Another typical Mourinhoesque player. Speeding around the defenders, cutting in and smashing it with a fucking hammer-foot. ST: Gudjohnsen = Lukaku/Cavani. This is a tough one. I honestly can't see us spending so much money on Cavani, but if we do, I'm 10000% sure it will be worth it. He would beast under Mou even more. If not, we always have our big African fridge that Lukaku is. That's it. If you like it rep (that's rethorical statement of course). If not, go fuck cactus. Peace...
