manpe 10,861 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think we can make 4th if we scrap the 4-3-3 and go to 4-4-2. absolutely no evidence of 4-4-2 being effective for us. we've only seen the team play 4-3-3 under AVB. I doubt the players could adapt so quickly after playing mainly 4-3-3 for the past 8 years, it would probably lead to more disaster tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the players could adapt so quickly after playing mainly 4-3-3 for the past 8 years, it would probably lead to more disaster tbh.We did it last season for many games. This season it would be good because it has more options for our players, the 4-3-3 i don't think we have enough quality, where as if we played a 4-4-2 our midfield would be better.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Our record against Everton is shocking to say the least, especially away from home! I'd like to be proven wrong obviously, but I don't expect to come away with 3 points today... I reckon we will draw again... 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be proven wrong obviously, but I don't expect to come away with 3 points today... I reckon we will draw again... 1-1you do realise we have a great record against Everton? we have lost 2 games against them in our last 30 matches. we have also beat them twice already this season as well. I don't know where people get this myth that Chelsea have a bad record against Everton when actually we don't. We have won more than we have lost or drawn at Goodison park also. and as for that Carling cup game, we played a second string team and Everton played pretty much their strongest side, and we played most of the 2nd half with 10 men and still came out on top. I'm confident of a Chelsea win today for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think we can make 4th if we scrap the 4-3-3 and go to 4-4-2.If we start playing 4-2-3-1 with Mata down the Middle the 4th spot would be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiot 71 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 4-3-3 is superior to 4-4-2 the very because of the triangles on the field. Mourinho smashed the league because of it. There's no reason to install the 4-4-2. A possibility could be the 4-2-3-1 and foocus on the counter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I really fear that with Lampard fit, AVB will drop the 4-2-3-1 formation and go back to 4-3-3 just so Lampard feels a bit more comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 4-1-3-2 is what Chelsea should play. I think we need Mata behind the strikers and really try a striker companionship between Torres/Sturridge/Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 We currently don't have one striker on good form let alone 2.Doesnt Torres play well? He moves well, creative, assists.Isnt Sturridge on form? Problem is he's out on the wing and I think he'd score alot more goals in a more central role.How much have we seen of Lukaku? Why not give him a chance. If, as you say, our other strikers arent on form and doesnt score, why not let him try?My point is, they might complete eachother.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 LMAOIt's a fact wether you realize it or not, that Torres does move well, he is creative and does have some assists just that for some reason he cannot score. If someone else is up there with him in the box perhaps he can link well. Him+Sturridge for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Anyone think De Gea's save last week from Mata's free kick overrated?Under the circumstances, they both have a chemistry with each other, and the wall with De Gea's positioning, made it clear that Mata was going top right post, knowing whether or not De Gea realizes that is 90 percent of Mata's free kicks usually end up top right post. I dont know, maybe its just me, extra time and a save like that deserves the hype i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
