JDY 1,290 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 ^ Not sure if trolling. Seems to be the 'go to' response for some on here. Maybe you could give Fifa a rest for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Absolutely no room for experimentation with these lot. Mourinho's years of "4-3-3 up and at them" is drummed into the heads of players that he never even worked with. Short of selling 10 players most influenced by Jose, and buying 10 new ones, we cannot facilitate such a change. It's just not possible for us. It would be like Big Sam at Bar-senal. Remember Ancelotti with his diamond midfield? AVB with the high line?They don't like change.@ sure loves his Libero's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 remember? I still think Lampard meant to pass to deco, but it actually went to Drogba. Good goal nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Lol, I actually love the idea of Luiz as a libero. Might try it on FM.TorresHazard - MataCole - Mikel - Oscar - RamiresTerry - CahillLuiz* Cech*Luiz is everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumps 284 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 although i think the 3 at the back is good in terms of the players at our disposal (at the moment) it would not suit John Terry at all. i can't see him being able to adapt to that. Also, Luiz would noth ave as much freedom as he has.signing another RB would eliminate playing 3 at the back.another formation that could work, that I have't seen is a 4-3-2-12 AMC (Mata/hazard) behind torres. with 3 deeper midfielders (one DMC, 2 attacking/support wider players)http://lineupbuilder.com/?sk=977with this formation as well, with a simple sub such as brining Sturridge or Marin on can turn this to a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them had never played 4-3-3 till he JM joined us, yet they adapted and dominated. Only two of our back four remain, only two of the midfield remain (maybe three)and none of the strikers he employees. Might need a couple of signings but it's viable would actually unlock the potential in both Ramires and Luiz in my opinion. I'd certainly co sider this as a possible formation, perhaps not our default one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I love the second from top formation only switch Mata and Hazard. Is 4231 built to be anything other than a counter attacking formation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Cahill needs to be included in the back line. other than that. I agree 100 percent.-----------Torres----------------Hazard----------Mata---------------Oscar------Ramires-----------Romeu------------A.Cole------------------Azpi--------Terry---Cahill------------------Cech-------------That's not an organisation, that's a funnel. I think we'd be pleased to have 15% of ball possession with those players ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 A completely new formation can have a disaster impact to a team ( inter under gasperini, he changed the team from 4231 to 343) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC86 13 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 With azpilicueta joining the blues I find it hard for them to try and go to a three back formation. Now with a right back why not move Iva to center back and bump david luiz to cdm. He can attack and drop back to defend as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,417 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 http://lineupbuilder.com/?sk=b313this is what i was thinking..with subs sturridge/torres depending on who starts , lamps, oscar as well using squad depth for the amount of games with azpi bertrand romeu and marinthoughts?
