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.

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.

yea I remember Mata being very influential the few times he played on the right for us and the Olympic Spanish team. But Eden is much more effective on the left for us, and Oscar should be tried in the middle.

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 left

Oscar vs Mata in the middle

Mata vs KDB on the right

Moses backup to the above 5.

Well yeah, of course Mata will play in the middle, that goes without saying but even if he does start on the right he'll probably dynamically rotate in game with whoever is in the centre but I'd like to see him get started on the right flank if Mourinho can implement that sort of system and get an effective production from him as it gives the likes of Oscar and KDB a chance to really develop more.

It'd be nice to see something like a Hazard-KDB-Mata combination then. 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.

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.

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.
