Chelsea played in a 4-2-3-1.

Really interesting. If Villas used in this game, it means might use something similar in PL.

Liked this. Different from the outdated 4-3-3 with Mikel+Lampard+somone else in the mid.

Perhaps VB is right. Maybe we dont need an overhaul, maybe all we need is a manager with refreshing ideas.

But actually 4-3-3 isnt that different than 4-2-3-1. The midfielders you put in the squad decide if its a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3, your third midfielder to be specific.

Basicly its the same.

But I agree with you, I can see us playing Lampard has a more 50/50 midfielder, a little more deep than he use to play, and than put Pastore in the middle of the

3 attacking midfielders. somthink like this will be very refreshing indeed:

----------Essien/Mikel--Lampard--------

Sturr/new--Pastore/benayoun----Malouda

---------------Drogba/Torres-------------

Btw, If sturridge will play like today, maybe we dont need a new RW?

Finally watched the game, and I liked what I saw. More determination from players to prove themselves, pressing and ball movement was better. I liked Sturridge, a real threat for the opposition defenders and an accurate finish with his right foot.

watched game last night when i got in from work. Well impressed with the lads, honestly couldnt fault any of them. Benny and ash stood out for me and also think nando took some more harsh criticism as he played some good balls, passed well and was unlucky not to have won a pen and scored when he hit the post. Josh really excites me and i think this is his year to really impact on the team and as for rajkovic. . . What a monster that kid is:) good to see chalobah on too. All in all i was happy with the passing and pressing and hope to see more on sat when we will face a more stern test. Come on chels

Much improved performance, good to see AVB's philosophy finally coming through on the pitch, particulary with the pressing game. So good to see. The game against Villa will be a bigger test and will be good to see where we are at with our pre season.

Good performance yesterday, saw a lot of things I liked. Won't name all of them but I liked how played the ball around (very) quickly and found the wings quickly. Stretched their defence which created space for Benayoun and Lamps to move into. The fact that we played in a very attacking formation had a lot to do with it though. Zhirkov and Lampard were both CMs and we won't see something like that when it gets serious.

Lampard played in the role I thought/hoped he would play in this stage of his career, he played like a true CM. It was obvious to see Lamps can't handle a attackng role behind the the striker in a possession-based style. The deeper role gave him more time and space to do his thing and he performed well and played like I hoped we would. Now I can just hope he accepts the less attacking role and gets used to it as it will make him last longer.

Benayoun played very well as well but that was obvious for everybody to see so I won't say more about him.

But there's one thing which causes me to not get excited about our performance and that thing is the fact that we played against a poor, poor side. It was like they weren't even on the pitch.. The match vs Villa will give us a much clearer picture on how far we actually are.
