We have seen many times that Torres is very good when he comes from the left wing and shoot, just like he did when we lost with 2-0 against Fools this season..

Super Chelsea, Super Chelsea FC, wer'e by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen!

[Blauw 105]

Where can I found information about Jesus Navas in Chelsea?

[lionsden 4,689]

If wishes were horses, I would prefer this formation next season.

Modric can be changed to either Pastore or Nasri.

Hulk is nearly a must, great player!

[rantdeville 195]

t seems all our potential signings are procured on the basis that we MUST play a 4-3-3. While I am a proponent of such a formation, and it is conducive to attacking football, I think our activity in the market this summer should be broadened to account for other potential formations.

I mean, watching the preseason what tends to catch my eye is that we successfully move into the final third and bam, zero (or very little) movement off the ball. And a LOT of passes across the 18 lol. it seems the players get jammed up in the corners and keep giving the ball to each other cuz no one can beat a defender right? And then they just cross it for the sake of moving the ball.

How about a 4-2-3-1: don't jump ship just yet, it can make sense.

*i broke up my rant to give your eyes a break lol

So to continue:

We have hard nosed holding mid in Mikel who, arguably, is very good at deep passes and is a no nonsense tackler, and maybe the perfect foil for his mistake-prone play in Josh (who can also get plenty of minutes on the pitch), there's also Ramires who can (tho he's probably better going forward) play there, and David Luiz, who is, well...he's David friggin Luiz, (that would be a bad-ass pair of midfielders )

And to conlude, in the event our "creative" signing doesn't happen , there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

...as for the 3 in front of the two holding midfielders, they are interchangeable with (nearly) limitless combinations from the 5-6 players we've got, cuz god knows malouda kalou zhirkov and anelka arent pure wingers and lampards and benayouns legs just don't carry them swiftly from box to box like they once did lol but it's ok, cuz they've got cover behind them in the two holding mids. The 3 can switch, make runs, and do what attacking footballers do WITHOUT getting 5 players clogged up on the touchline.

I wrote far too much  you get the idea, Torres Drogba Sturridge play the target and the width is provided from Cole and Iva when needed.

Rant over.

End.

[zolayes 14,489]

I don't know what formation will Boas play,but here his(my) squad.

Cech

Ivan - Luiz - JT - Cole

Ramires - Lampard

Hulk - Malouda/Neymar

Torres - Falcao

But I want to see something like this:

Cech

Ivan - Luiz - JT - Cole

Essien

Ramires - Lampard

Drogba

Torres - Falcao

For Carling/FA cup:

Turnbull

Ferreira - Luiz - Alex - Bertrand

McEachran - Ramires

Danny - Malouda/Neymar

Lukaku - Drogba

sighs ...those dreams we had

[manpe 10,861]

Cech

Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Mikel - Lampard

Sturridge - Drogba - Malouda

Anelka, Kalou, Bosingwa, Luiz, Benayoun, McEachran and Torres often used for rotation. That is if we don't sign any new players, I'm not gonna speculate with non-Chelsea players just yet... first post said that Falcao deal is almost confirmed Shows how unreliable those speculations really are.

[incometax 116]

Very Obvious line up vs stoke

With malouda at left wing(sigh).
