Jase 43,479 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Facing another side who plays with a back 3. Well, this will be our first 'competitive' game(according to many). Really need to start well and get a win here. Already lost 4 games in a row and we have two tricky/tough/awkward home games against Reading and Newcastle to come. Getting 3 points here is a must!

Just because it worked well for them doesn't mean it will for us. Need the right players, understanding and hard work to be able to fully implement that system.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This is not a game for us to be experimenting with 3 defenders.Its the first game of the season and we should win this by a convincing manner so that the players can feel more confident.

Jype 6,398 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Maybe we should try it soon, we certainly have the trio to do it.Yep, I wrote about it in the 'future chelsea team' thread, have a look. We certainly have the defenders for it, also Ramires and Cole / Bertrand as the wing-backs sounds tempting at least on paper. Only problem could be the central midfield but tbh that's a problem for us, no matter what formation we use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November33rd 84 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Wow...some of you are out of your minds with these lineups.Did you all forget Bertrand is perfectly capable of playing RB as well? He played RB very well for Team GB. Start him there.No way Oscar starts. He has a friendly with Brazil Wednesday so he will only have been with the team for 2 days. Doubt he'll even be a sub in that short amount of time..Even if we signed Azpillicueta this week there's no way he would start on Sunday already. Some of you are crazy.

Really need to start well and get a win here. Already lost 4 games in a row and we have two tricky/tough/awkward home games against Reading and Newcastle to come. Getting 3 points here is a must!yeah but in frst half we really held them. i mean lets realize that man city had 7 defenders (includin goalie) in the first team! we had nice counters and on a good day hazard makes the right choices (good game from him soo happy to hear man city boos for him) and we win the game. but we have to stop the long balls,i saw like 5 or 6 today! torres no way gona get them we need to make simple short easy passes and work way up-field. also, we need rambo in the middle of the park, that goal today showed he can appear in right spot at right time and he has good tricks inside that mind aswell. always pulls the goods whenever vs man city.expect 4411cechbertrand--cahill----JT------a colestudge-----rambo----mikel------hazardmatatorreswe dont need lamps for this one,weak team need to suffocate themwith our offense. rambo is great coverfor the lack of defense studge brings.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Loose this and will be worried!!! Either tends to be a easy game high score game or a bloody nightmare! And last time we played them opening day jesus christ how we managed it.Defence need to get it together and no silly bookings for anyone...and no injuries Weds make it even better!

He will absolutely be a disaster there. To play as a wing back, you basically need to have a high stamina and work extremely hard because you are likely to be bombarding up and down the flank all game. Having pace is also crucial in playing there and Ivanovic doesn't have those. Already struggle at times when playing as a RB. And don't even begin to suggest Ramires to play as the wing back. Totally not suited in the wide areas at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
