Chelsea? 892 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It was the 4-2-3-1.So Lampard and Mata can assume their position. The only one that will change is Sturridge for Torres, giving that Sturridge was also not a big deal against Napoli.Chelsea is on a high, Drogba and Torres is scoring, is time to play them together. We all dreamed for a deadly combination like this, now is time to make the other teams wet their pants!if its 4231 then I'm not sure where Lampard would play. If he's the CAM then would Mata play out wide? Mata would be a big defensive liability if he played wide in a 4231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mata would be a big defensive liability if he played wide in a 4231.If I am not mistaken Lampard played next to Essien in the 2 pivot role....Ramires was more of a winger, even though he is not one, he had an awesome game.It's a pity we don't have true wingers. Dam you AVB for not buying them in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That's EXTREMELY harsh. Schmeichel is a good keeper.I always thought he was. But all 5 goals were his fault. Should have come out for cahill's header. Should have saved kalou's goal. He could have dived for torres's first. Abysmal for torres's second. The fifth also absolute rubbish.What a ridiculous display by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That's EXTREMELY harsh. Schmeichel is a good keeper.He has many problems in the air but as far as shot stopping goes, he is quite impressive. Today was far from his best displays.

BlueSanti 290 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Fernando Torres today: Won the corner for the first goal. Made the second. Scored the third. Scored the fourth. Made the fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNKS 508 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sturridge needs to be benched for a while. The problem is you cant play Torres on the wing. Malouda is just as shit and Kalou cant dribble past players. I dont think we will play 2 strikers against Man city. That would be suicidal.

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Torres was superb today but it still has to be Drogba on Wednesday, remember what happened the last time Torres broke a long duck against West Ham? Carlo tried to change the system to accommodate both and it so nearly backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sturridge will be extremely useful against City. Yes he is selfish but he brings a lot to our attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I know under AVB's reign,we complained of our group of players not being world class and all but today I saw what all our players are capable of.For some reason,we were quick and playing some good football.Against Napoli,I saw most of the old guard performing well and now today we were great also.Torres looked like a completely new player after his goal and I am glad hes finally performing for us.I haven't been his biggest fan lately but he sure has proved me wrong.My only advice to him now would be to be careful with his tackling.Don't want to see another red card and disrupt his rhythm.Overall our players played well and most importantly played like a team.Now,they must keep up this good form and lead Chelsea to immense glory.

Beirut_Blues 306 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So we got City Wednesday night.... Wanna see the Nino kill the Eitihad stadium... or even better 2 from Nino 2 from Drogba.And Lamps to score the 5th from long range just to blow the candle.

Tortilla9 390 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Can somebody post the ESPN post match interview? Can't access it in the US.Disregard I found it. The interviewer was a d*ck. Love how Nando called him an "expert".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAwbj0rTxE4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a good tactician but not a good man manager.RDM is just the opposite, he has been motivating the players since he got the job. But as far good tactician is too early to tell. We will have to wait for a whole season to judge that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
