Sorry brah. Chelsea may be 4-2-3-1 on paper, but most of the time the formation is 4-3-3. Especially, when OScar and Lampard play together, which is like 90 percent of this season.. THe ams arent adjacent to each other, Oscar has to retrieve the ball most of the time he plays.. A true 4-2-3-1 is not Chelsea.

everyone keeps doing 4-2-3-1 formations... We dont play 4-2-3-1 at all.. I would like to see Mikel-Oscar-KDB.... If we are going to sell him, I wanna get a good glimpse of his potential before we do. With wilian-Ba-Schurrle

You guys know we played 4-3-3. What pivot?

Personally, I would select Bastian... Bastian is the key to bayern and germany. If bastian is injured, i dont expect either to do well.

Mikel and Ivan are the ends of an attack... I havent seen Mikel go forward in such a long time, and when he did today, we almost conceded a goal..

True. Cristiano has better top speed like Theo, but Messi faster with the ball.. He's def. stronger, but not football strong.. Messi I bet would do a better job holding the ball up than Cristiano and running through people... PASSING IS A DEF. NO. Cristiano never learned to pass properly. Team player? Dont know bout that.

Messi is better than Cristiano in almost all facet of the game... However, Cristiano has a rocket launcher of a leg and has better vertical... Besides that, dont see anything else Cristiano is better than Messi in....

It seems 2 of them can connect well at a time... And the other stands on the other side...

He played no bueno.....( Had a sort of good pass to Ba) But than again, its 10 or so mins....

Were the Chelsea fans the one with the laser pointers? Oscar, eden, and willian did well... Ivan and Mikel not so much.... Ba had a similar performance to Torres (both should of gotten hattricks), but at least he got one (OG imo). GK wasnt really tested.. I almost fell asleep in the second half..

Heard he was going to Arsenal... And that he lost his 10 role to the teenager...

When people say Preseason, are they referring to Asian tour??? Where the other 2 standout players arent suiting up for Chelsea as well (Lukaku and Traore). And when there were no ams besides Hazard.... KDB had the best opportunity to impress Mourinho. He came in healthy, he came in early and he got preseason run.... I remember Hazard came in injured and a bit late, while Oscar and mata were both in brazil. And Willian and Schurrle came in later on..... But, I'm all for dropping Lampard for KDB or playin 4-3-3 with kdb rotating in!

I thought the game was today..........

So, for the people that watch Lucas at Vitesse, who is better KDB or Piazon?

Good thing I went to pilates/spinning Saturday morning, rather than watching Stoke..

You know hes injured right........ I remember the game vs Liverpool (cup final) where Carrol terrorized Chelsea in the air.... Had a good 3-4 chances to score as well and the game completely changed with Carroll.

He's getting overused.... This is why you need to rest him... He does the most legwork every game at the highest intensity and you start him every game.... He may have incredible stamina, but Rambo is human as well..

Random question? Is Lukaku really better than Carroll? I personally think both could be prolific goal scorers in SPECIFIC systems...

.... Who is your cable provider? I have TWC... They show every game on TV. I think for the other cable providers, you should be able to get BPL streamed hd via NBC website if you have a cable subscription.

If you have cable.. Every BPL game is televised in HD and SD..

In terms of footballing talent, Messi is far better than Cristiano... However, the fact that Cristiano has a rocket launcher of a leg and basketball player like vertical, really helps him in his goal count..... On a side note, one big difference to me is.... Messi dribbles at players.. Cristiano dribbles around them...Their a reason why neutral footballers all thing Messi is better.

It will all work itself out... Especially with the world cup and Champs League as a platform......

Last year we had depth. But Moses went to the tournament with Mikel... So, it was essentially 3 ams for a good chunk of the way.. 6 is def. way too much. Especially, 6 young ams......

I would bet money after the world cup, Oscar will be tempted...

Jozy altidore sure did a good job winning long balls.. Dont know if JT and Cahill were just fatigued, but he was rather impressive yesterday...
