MikeCFC 45 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Apparantley Grunt is going to experiment with a 4-1-3-2 formation tomorrow This is no time for experimenting you thick cunt. After a poor February we need to get a win under our belt,to calm the storm if anything and to get the confidence back for Wednesday night's crucial match against Olimpiacos. West Ham got a jammy result against Fulham last week and will be well up for this. 1-2 Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) i think its not a bad time to change formation with the 2 up top. the 4-3-3 is not working plain and simple. Thats not working because hes scared to leave either drogba or anelka out. If he wants to play both, the 4-4-2 MUST come into play. If its 4-3-3 he must leave one out and play Joe cole with either SWP or Kalou. I'm a tad nervy about the week ahead. P.S Why does the thread title say Saturday 8th March? lol you think we're lucky enough to get a week off.

PaulHopkins 1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'd revert back to 4-4-2 for this one and play the following: G Cech DR Ferreira DC Terry DC Carvalho DL A Cole MR J Cole MC Ballack MC Lampard ML Malouda AC Drogba AC Anelka Bench: Cudicini, Alex, Mikel, Essien, Shevchenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All amateur, not got a shade on me j/k 4-4-2 may not be a bad thing, playing Anelka and Drogba as out and out strikers, Lampard and Makelele in the middle with Joe Cole and Kalou on the wings. That way we can switch to 4-3-3 with ease and substitute Anelka for a midfielder if we need to. Would be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 um...6-1-3? 2-2-6? 10-0-0? 1-1-17? Maybe Anelka in Goal, he hasn't tried that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I was hoping of seeing Hilario on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandicoot 3 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Really cant see anything other than a draw from this one. Fuck knows what sort of selection Grant will spring on us this time, more than likely something that nobody is expecting. Knowing him he will probably put the U18's out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I was hoping of seeing Hilario on the wing Lol was looking forward to seeing that in the FA cup lol. Well we know 4-4-2 works well for us so no chance of using that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemisu 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 4 - 4 - 2 is the way forward if Anelka and Drogba want to play together. Nothing else will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisGnu 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Knew Faubert would start. Chelseas side is strong enough to beat WHU today. Ljunberg is there only threat, although Cole could be up for it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
