I am more optimistic a poacher would succeed in our system then i was in the beginning of the season. Mainly because 4-2-3-1 is much more suited for a poacher skills.

4-3-3 is more suited for a more rounded striker, who can drop back and link up plays between midfield and attack. Drogba and Messi are prime examples of that.

Didn't get the service tonight. Made some excellent runs, the sort that Cesc would have found to the nearest centimetre.

Actually he seems like a decent pundit. Much more interesting to hear him speak than the usual Jamie Redknapps and Michael Owens

It makes sense on paper, granted. However it also takes the right players too. Mata could only do so much from his position but we'd need another player of that calibre too, who knows if Marin's got a killer pass on him or not. Ramires' wasn't blessed with the best passing abilities either, but he's effective at running into the box and cutting it across, case & point would be his pass to Drogba in the first leg v. Barca.

In an ideal scenario we could be a 4-2-3-1 squad off the ball and 4-4-2 when in possession because I think a poacher and all-round striker would be much more effective than a lone-poacher.

It would definitely help having another like Mata type player, a signing like Shinji Kagawa would be a good shout for that role. I was generally speaking playing a #10 is almost necessary when you have a lone poacher.

We can blame and criticize Torres all we want, but tbf to him we tried to make him and play him like Drogba, and not even try to accommodate for his skill set. But as i said i am more optimistic players like Torres can succeed now that we have changed our formation and have Mata in the #10 role.

Agreed.

At present we're not a team that could accommodate last-shoulder strikers. That's why I think Drogba should depart this summer, so we can usher in a new era of the club's football philosophy. With dedicated players to the formation and system which will play ball-to-feet, not hoof it up and hope for the best. (Which is no criticism of the latter, since it's been very effective for the better part of the last 8-9years)

Mou said he can leave ony for 150mio. I dont know if he wants to leave, but I am pretty sure no one will pay 150 for him. Its meaningless, he will not come here and for 35 mio (as he is rated realy), we can get much better striker. Falcao, Cavani, Llorente,...
