The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Seems like Mourinho has plans to play Mata on the right flank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkibou 622 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 He speaks of 5 players for 3 positions. 4 - 2 - 3 -1 it is, then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Mata on the right will work better than Oscar on the right. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkibou 622 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Mata on the right will work better than Oscar on the right.I'd like to see Oscar vs Schurrle on the left, Hazard vs KDB in the middle and Mata vs Moses on the right. Seems balanced to me, and quite lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Jose from same article posted above"We will play 4-2-3-1 in the first game, my favourite system, though sometimes I change the triangle and play with one in front of the defenders and two players up," Mourinho said. "Other times I play with double midfielders and a No10. This is a team where we have not one or two but three or four players who like very much to be a No10: [Kevin] De Bruyne likes it, Oscar likes it, Mata likes it, [Eden] Hazard likes it. It is a natural system for all these players to play."But in another match I could change it. If we are losing, we might need to have two pure strikers. It is something we will work on because I would like to have this capacity to have it ready to play, independent of the players we have. Naturally, we will have four at the back and in my team, the attackers are attackers. Some guys say we play 4-2-3-1, blah blah blah blah, and sometimes the attackers have a defensive job so it is more like 4-5-1. But it is not 4-5-1, it is 4-3-3.

But Eden is much more effective on the left for us, and Oscar should be tried in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Mou seems to def like the idea of Mata on the right which means more of Oscar in the middle Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would say Hazard vs Oscar in the middle, Schurrle vs Moses on the left, and KDB vs Mata on the right in stead So Oscar and KDB on bench? At least one should be starting ahead of either Schurrle or Moses imo.I would personally say Hazard vs Schurrle on the left, KDB vs. Oscar in the middle and Mata vs. Moses on the right.No Mata at all in the centre?I would say:Hazard vs Schurrle on the leftOscar vs Mata in the middleMata vs KDB on the rightMoses backup to the above 5.

As KDB seems to have next to no weak foot, those three rotating around would be fucking insane!It also means KDB could just switch wings with whoever and whip in one of those magical crosses of his.

Jype 6,398 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would personally say Hazard vs Schurrle on the left, KDB vs. Oscar in the middle and Mata vs. Moses on the right.Yep, definitely this. De Bruyne can play very well on the right flank too so I'd play him ahead of Moses there if needed but if everyone were limited to just one position, I'd go with your selections.

JDY 1,290 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 These sort of options will certainly be a dent to Moses' dream of playing for Barca But seriously, so excited to see the destruction our attacking trio's can cause, whoever ends up starting. Exciting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Some of these rumours are truly very stupid. Why would we ever give Mata + cash for Rooney? We would never even give Mata for Rooney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
