i dont want this to happen.

shift our best player from his favoured LW position to CAM. shift our RW/CAM to LW and moreover, i think another reason of having a proper defensive fullback like azpi as a LB is to cover for JT's pace (or lack of). we should not be uprooting half the team, and changing the way we play so that filipe can get an oppurtunity. i hope we sell luis for as much as we got him for and buy a defensive LB so as to shift azpi on the right.

Or, you know, just buy an RB and accept Azpi will be on the left for almost all of the rest of his time here.

Hazard likes the left because it's less congested than the centre.

I'd imagine that if we buy Reus or whoever we'll go with 2 proper fullbacks - I don't think that's actually been done since the early 2000s tbh. Not against it, though. In that case, it'll almost certainly be another converted centre half - Christensen, Zouma, Kalas in the short term comes to mind.

Hazard cuts to the 10 spot anyways, he's more unpredictable in that position.

Willian is 10 times better when he's on the left or in the middle.

Won't be a problem on the left since we have Willian covering for Luis.

Atm, we have a very offensive fullback ( Ivanovic ) which lets players past him ( quite normal for a FB ) but isn't covered ( since Cahill is shit in that role ), JT is just the best covering defender you can get in the league, and he still does it pretty well.

All I'm saying is :

Zouma-Azpi-RW on the right and JT-Luis-Willian on the left

is way better and more balanced than

Cahill-Ivanovic-Willian on the right and JT-Azpi-Hazard on the left.

Cahill has been a great defender, it's ivanovic who should be blamed to leave his full back position and is never able to recover on time

Nope, that's Mourinho's decisions, Ivanovic is the one with the most freedom of the FBs.

When Zouma plays alongside JT, Ivanovic has less trouble, because the frenchmen actually covers, Cahill is extremely slow and can't read the game well.

it is a poor decision by Mourinho to send ivanovic in attack because he has so less pace that he can't track back.

WTF? He can't send out Azpi in attack because strikers and wingers will rape Terry in broad daylight. Azpi must tuck to form a back three, all to protect Terry. Cahill is the one who is shafted in the team. He is basically covering for Terry's lack of pace, and also getting exposed because Ivanovic has to provide width that Willian and Hazard can't.

It's not that difficult to see where our problem lies. But we have to make due. It's why managers get huge wages and all the publicity. They have to look at a team and find a way to make it work. Jose has done that. We just won the league from the first time in 5 years ffs.

This team isn't set for the next 5 years. It's only next season. Terry will have to leave after this year, or accept being 3rd choice. No two ways about it. It's only for so long that you can sacrifice three players to protect one. Sooner or later, you have to reassess the team and move forward.

Apparently Atletico Madrid is very close to sign Yannick Ferreira Carrasco from Monaco, maybe it's replace for Turan, or maybe for Griezmann, because he is more similar player to Griezmann

well Turan already needs replacing. The same can not be said for Griezmann!

They already signed replacement for Griezmann and it's Luciano Vietto.

Also apart from Ferreira Carrasco they will try to follow it up with either Gaitan or Callejon. It becomes quite squeezed there when you consider that they also have Jimenez and Correa.

For me Antoine Griezmann is still obtainable.
