Kieran. 6,317 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Interesting that Mourinho starts Luiz in midfield after the purchase of Matic...actually rates him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Was expected. We would park the bus, not surprise. Im not calling that parking the bus.Im calling it playing smart and try to get important points against another top league winner contender by utilizing our strenghts: defend and counter. didierforever and chillerz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,917 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I kinda like it.Oscar and Salah as subs to bring high energy in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Dang, Willian must be doing something right to be favoured over Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 No oscar!!!! Ofcourae no oscar!!!! We were always going to play 4-3-3. We played that against arsenal to stop thwir attacking play and we would not do that to CITY!!!

Toli 977 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 lol at mourinho whining about parking the bus and than putting a 4-3-3 with Luiz, Ramires and Matic.just hope, that hazard+willian alone will be capapble to produce something...

TrippingStep 336 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Fernandinho and Aguero out, I' m a bit less scared.I would have liked Clichy as left back and not Kolarov.I think it will be a 4-3-3 for us. Matic as defensive midfielder, Ramires and Luiz the bulldog in midfield. I think the idea for this formation is to let Hazard not defend as much against the fullback if it was a 4-2-3-1. One of the tree midfielder can close a side and let Hazard not drop too much back and being an outlet for counter-attacks. kellzfresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted February 3, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 3, 2014 well, it seems Mourinho also wanted Luiz in the midfield like a few of us. Sorry couldn't resist Sheva., Thendo, dee25 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppen 934 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Starting lineup could work, however it could fail miserably. City's lineup doesn't look particularly scary without Aguero or Fernandinho, but none the less they have loads of offensive firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustradamus 60 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 On Twitter MCFC fans are freaking out Fernandinho is injured. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 last time we saw a lineup like this and thought it was a 4-3-3 but instead it was a 4-2-3-1 with rami on the wing, i think it's the same shit today, although i really hope notbetter be a 4-3-3 otherwise there is no reason to drop oscar Barbara and Peace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Dang, Willian must be doing something right to be favoured over Oscar.Probably just because Willian has more pace then Oscar. The Chels, Sheva. and kellzfresh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have a feeling Jose will go with--------------Eto'o--------------Hazard------------------Willian--------------Rami--------------------Matic----------Luiz-------Azpi----JT-----Cahill--Ivanovic-------------Cech---------------and Schurrle, Lamps and Oscar coming in during the game. Solid team with two defensive midfielders (Luiz and Matic) that can pass the ball and initiate the counterattacks, one central midfielder (Rami) to harass Yaya and two pacey wingers.SPOT ON!

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Exactly like I predicted. No way mourinho will play two slow people in the 3 midfield. I already knew lampard won't start together with matic. That will be too slow to press cityCome on chelsea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
