Vulture 10 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Can't wait for the first match... what tactic do you think Mourinho will use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Don't think I've ever been so excited about a pre-season friendly. So many interesting new players, loan returnees and youngsters like Schürrle, Van Ginkel, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Kalas, Chalobah, Feruz and Traore.And of course Mourinho.

edenhazard17 281 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 What do you guys think about the strongest line up that could be made with the squad we have right now?I'll go with : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 taking into account we don't have Luiz, Oscar, Azpili and Mata, I guess that's the best team we'd have although I'd switch Eden and Kevin's position as I think Kevin is amazing in the wing and Hazard would have a chance to play in the center - where he's also very good.Also, I'm hoping André can play in the right wing as the season progresses.That said, I hope Mourinho moves to a 4-3-3 formation if we don't sign a world class striker. No more relying on Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So you guys all think Lukaku is definitely a better player than Ba then? That's an very bold conclusion isn't it?Ba was scoring for fun before joining us, now all of the sudden he is shit and ready to be sold? I say give him some time to gel with the team and adjust his mentality of playing for a top club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he doesn't have 5 important (and supposedly starting XI) players, I think he will try the best team at first, and includes Ramires and Lampard imo, but I'm sure Ginkel will have plenty of chances. Mourinho sort of hinted in his interview that Ginkel is for long term... same applies to Chalobah and Kalas imoI do agree on the attacking three disposition.

Ramires and Lamps can come in with more experience in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustafa 885 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Am I the only one who wants to see how Islam Feruz does with the first team lads ? He made the trip down here and I wanna see him playing !! Mourinho can have fun with the team in my opinion.. We've got some great young talents and I'm sure he wants to see what they're like under him in a real match. So I'm not too bothered about the Starting XI but Islam must be given a chance !
