2011-2012 Season

Recommended Posts

i think its time for chelsea to start the rebuild under carlo ancelotti, why? obviously because we have a ageing team and i honestly believe that carlo ancelotti is the man to make this happen.

he won the first ever league and cup double for chelsea why sack a manager who has achieved this? we have had a poor season but we can take a lot out of this season, we have had key injuries to key players eg. lampard (hernia), Drogba (malaria).

we have 6 players that are 30 years old or over, Drogba (33) lampard (33) malouda (30) anelka (32) ashley cole (31) john terry (30)

we obviously need rebuilding now before its too late......

here is my honest thought of the chelsea line up for season 2011-12

goalkeeper: petr cech

defenders: branislav ivanovic, david luiz, john terry, phillip lahm

midfielders: michael essien, john obi mikel, sergio canales

forwards: fernando torres, neymar

subs: kasper schmeical, josh mceachran, ramires, alex, van aanholt, bosingwa, kalou

sold or retired: Drogba,lampard,anelka, zhirkov, ferreria, ashley cole, malouda.

possibly sold: benayoun

please leave your thoughts and post your prediction, im still new to this and would love some feedback and as always, keep the blue flag flying high ♥

With any great side you need experience. See Arsenal compared to Man united.

Even if a player eg:Lampard, Drogba, Ferreria etc reverts to a bench role similar to Scholes, Giggs, Neville, They will still be very useful. With a player like Neymar (which personally i wouldn't waste money on) in our squad, he needs older more respectful players around him to teach him some discipline and how to stay grounded. I agree with most that Lampard is off his game but i nor the club would consider selling him for another 2 seasons. I think Kalou, Anelka, Zhirkov, will all depart this season. Drogba and Lampard will be kept. personally i think their presence will be greatly missed.

How you can imagine selling Ashley Cole is beyond me. The only player i consider better in his position is Patrice Evra, and he would never join Chelsea..

My Team

---------------------------Cech-----------------------------

Ivanovic----------------Alex------Terry-------------Cole

---------------------------Essien-----------------------------

---------------Ramires-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------Snieder----------------

----Sturridge------------Torres-------------Malouda---

Bench. Drogba, Lampard, Luiz, Ferreira, Mikel, McEachran, Van Aanholt

I would keep Lampard as our attacking midfielder. Got to admit, he has been a little off-form but the whole team has been!

Cech

Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - Cole

Lalkovic - Essien - Lampard - Zhirkov

Anelka - Drogba

Subs: Walker/Sebek, Bertrand, Magnay, Ramires, McEachran, Malouda, Torres.
