BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Agreed, under Mourinho in 2004/05, it was really only Cech, Ferreira, Terry and Lampard who were guaranteed starts, and that worked for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This time last season we were complaing about LFS' tactics when defending corners and free kicks. Zonal marking, no one on the posts etc...If I'm honest, I cant see anything wrong with the current set up. Other than going behind a few times, but thats a minor blip. We're putting games beyond doubt and winning comfortably. The big test imo will be against Spurs in a few weeks time and Liverpool a fortnight later. If we get past those 2 games and are sitting top I'll be more than chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The goals we have conceded have been highly fortunate for the opposition... kind ricochets for Hull and Sunderland, a mistake by Cech and an offside Rooney goal against United. I'm happy with how sound the defence, looks in all honesty - the most important factor is that we are winning games, and have scored seven goals in just three games, which shows we are taking our chances. I really can't ask for anything more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it is early days but there is just a good vibe i am getting from the team and Ancelotti at the moment and i hope it stays that way.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If it means resting important players against smaller teams and still getting a win, i am fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
