Everton 2-0 Chelsea

[Owizzy 19]

The New Chelsea approach 2012:

Firstly hi to everyone:

Now enough is enough!, people should stop talking about AVB (or no AVB). AVB is not the problem we are facing right now. Our problem is a depleted, aging squad. Bring in Ferguson/Wenger/Dalglish/Guardiola/(even the special one himself); this current squad is beyond redemption as they have done their time and should honestly be thinking of bowing out for a newer generation of players.

When players get older (in terms of years of service), they get weaker and become more foul-prone. Now is time to sell-off at least 65% of our squad and start building with the young ones (and hopefully new ones) we have. What baffles me is when we buy some young player with suppossed talent and we stick him on the bench, why then did we buy him in the first place is it to guarantee him free seat for all chelsea games or just to complete the 22 men in the training field?

Lets all rally together and support the present manager AVB and help him to do the best job which we all desire.

Now my recomendation: Enough of all these theoretical formation talk of 4-4-2, 4-5-1, bla-bla. let us resort to the old days of playing soccer with dedicated full backs (psitions 2 & 3)/ position 4, 5, 6 as defensive players with one of them been allowed to make occassional forays in the attack. Then we should re-introduce the traditional attacking wingers (positions 7(right) & 11 (left). The last three (positions 8, 9 & 10) will be the attacking Machinery. This works any day provided all players are fit and determined to do their jobs well (this was used effectively by the Super eagles of Nigeria in USA '94 and they had a good showing as debutants up until the Italians destroyed the highly effective left winger then also the guy called "da-bull was destroyed, before others could understand the very effective attack then).

So going forward here are a few recommendations,

Mata remains #10 playmaker.

Sturridge since we want him to be a winger let him move to the left wing since he is somewhat silky he can be giving good supply of crosses to the opponents 18 yard box, he doesnt have to play on the right or else he will never pass he will wanna drive-in and slam with his left (naturally as a young lad he wants to score).

Ramires should be polished and taken to the Right wing attacking position.

Romeu/mireiles develop them further and stick them in the midfield.

This are just some few suggestion.

As per #9, thats meant to be Torres's birthright but he his currently suffering from frozen legs syndrome.

Thanks will continue in the next post...

Lamps finally back in training !

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Lampards return may prove vital imo, we've been lacking a match winner in recent games.

[Rasu Mirza 1]

1-3 CHELSEA win.

AVB plz use 4-2-3-1 formation with MATA behind of TORRES.It will work for us.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Stick Mata out on the wing again? Can we just abandon the 4 3 3?

If I was AVB id go with:

--------------Cech---------------

Iva - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand

-------------Romeu--------------

--Essien------------Lampard

------------Mata-------------

----Lukaku------Torres

[OneMoSalah 8,614]

Think we will have to be very cautious, Everton do have a few decent enough players like Donovan, Cahill, Fellani and Jelavic(got the only goal we conceded in pre-season). AVB has to make sure he gets his tactics right though and I hope he sticks with David Luiz and Gary Cahill looked very good against Man United just unlucky with the last goal.

I reckon this is the team that will start tbh, dont think Lampard will start because he probably isn't 100%.

Cech

Iva - David Luiz - Cahill - Cole/Bosingwa

Meireles - Romeu - Essien

Sturridge - Torres - Mata

JT to partner Cahill..............Luiz to midfield............it'll be great to see him and Fellani get there hair in a tangle.........instead of physio on the field they'll call for the hairdresser to part them....lol

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Yeeey Mikel is back, we needed someone who can pass the ball quick and take risks.

[Munky 29]

JT is still injured right?

[teignman 441]

JT is still injured right?

I believe he is. Late this month is the return time I've heard.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Yeah, Mikel will be like a whole new signing...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

JT is still injured right?

Yep. I fear his injury is much more serious than we first thought.

[termninja 5,290]

Yep. I fear his injury is much more serious than we first thought.

Hopefully it's not like Lamps last year when he was supposed to be out for only a few weeks

[tmessy 139]

FFS PLEASE AVB no 4-3-3!!!!!!!!!

obviously i limits our team, and isnt working for torres

and for him to come good, we need to change!!!!!

if it aint broke dont fix it? well this is fucking dismantled...

[Santiago. 1,500]

Torres---Sturridge

--------Mata---------

Lampard-----Miereles

----------Essien---------

GIVE IT A GO?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The problem with John is that he plays despite being injured. And though his bravery and dedication are outstanding, sometimes he isn't doing himself any favours because his injury will only get much worse and take double the time to mend.

Give a Lukaku a start, maybe? He'll outrun and outpower Destin and Heitinga so easily they'll poop their pants.

Shades of Gary Lineker at the '90 WC?
