Exactly. If he only has ronaldo's off the ball movement he'll be a fantastic player. Ronaldo's movement was the reason portugal created so many chances against sweden. I said some days ago that hazard needs to attack the box more and it seems he's working on that movement.

Wouldnt want us facing the wrath of ibrahimovic though but if we have falcao, then bring it on

If we play the formation we used against west ham, he'll have more chances for sure

The news papers just put two and two together. They think chelsea want falcao, and they know psg want mata. And they have thought of the fact that PSG will be more than happy to provide us with funds to weaken their main rivals and take falcao from monaco.

I swear i felt like chocking cech last season. For some bizarre reason, he thought mata was drogba.

Exactly. I was furious with the selection too but gladly he didn't really plan on just keeping ramires on the right and it looked like a 4-3-3 with lampard bombing forward like he used to do beside ballack. Oscar and hazard finally played very well in the same match together was another unnoticed positive.

Frank re Oscar: "I've never seen a #10 with workrate like that" Daily Mail: “Lamps diss: Whassa Mata with your defending, Juan?” Daily Mirror: "Lampard blasts “lazy” Mata"

Have some too guys

One of his tackles nearly led to a goal, lampard should have buried that free chance laid on a plate for him by oscar

Its hard to be treated equally when one of them won our first Barclays premier league title with us while the other insulted our fans before getting here.

Lol i hope boruc does that against us

I didnt say that, i said he's getting better by playing more instead of being on the bench like KDB Exactly.

His movement looks much better already. His presence alone puts fear into defenders

Lukakuuuuuuu!!! Eating liverpool like drogba eats arsenal

Lukakuuuuuu!!!!!

Lmaoooooo How is he gonna look at his players with a straight face after that loool

At least i tried Typical Big Sam there lol

Okay i see why you were so reluctant with what i said. Your saying its dangerous for us and we may concede goals right. The only time we should switch to it is when we realize they dont want to come out of their 18box and are booting the ball away to safety. That way, we know they wont bring so many players out to attack us. If they stop using the two blocks of four defending and start attacking too, then its perfect because we can switch back to our 4-2-3-1 and have more space to attack.

Its a risk i know, but when the opponent is not coming out of their 18box and are just booting the ball away then its not much of a risk if we switch for a while. Since its the same players, mouriho can shout from the bench to the boys to switch back whenever he wants Because of the international break, i dont think we had time to advance our tactics on the 4-2-3-1. So i just know if westham decide to sit deep tomorrow with two blocks of four. We will see the first half performance of our last two matches

It makes him a defensive tactician. (But he wasnt a good defensive one though we conceded a lot of chances)

Who dares compare that baby face to this

You just seem too moody all of a sudden. I say allardyce is a good defensive tactician (ask bolton and blackburn who sacked him and got relegated a season later) and you say he is not a good one. Lets agree to disagree.

I was just saying we could start with our 4-2-3-1 iva, terry, luiz, bertrand mikel, ramires, willian, mata, hazard eto and after 15 mins if mourinho sees the same pattern like against westbrom first half with 2 lines of four defending deep without attacking, the same team switch to 3-5-2 to apply pressure while they are only sitting deep and surprise them instead of letting the whole first half go to waste again iva terry luiz willian ramires mikel bertrand ..............mata ..........eto hazard After they score, they get back to their positions. Its just a tactical switch, to surprise the opponent early and it could pay off.
