I'm disappointed with the exclusion of Cahill (and the inclusion of Bosingwa)
I thought he had a good partnership with DL
I may not know much about life, but what I do know has taught me to believe in Chelsea.
To lessen the pain of Bosingwa starting

if this is 4-2-3-1
how will it work? with lampard behind nando?

hopefully it is
unless raul was on the left with frank playing deep with essien and mata behind nando. I think i might prefer that, depending on raul’s ability to play on the left, just because i prefer mata behind nando and i would like to see how lamps plays in a deeper role

I might've trotted out the same back four as last week
Bossy on the left, Cahill / Luiz in the middle, Branners on the right. But a minor quibble.
And I’ll definitely take this midfield three over one featuring Malouda. I just wish it was a 4231 Lampard CAM than a 4-3-3
But overall, I am not super miffed about this lineup, for once. Let’s just go score some goals lads!

So I guess playing what works at the beginning of two games in a row is too much to ask, eh?
Why does AVB has this seemingly ridiculous infatuation with the 4-3-3?
Eh, I suppose at least it doesn’t require Malouda starting. Welcome back, Super Frank!
Probably not unless we start to make some ground on fifth position in the table
It looks like that’ll be Newcastle. Not gonna be fun watching Cisse and Ba terrorize CB’s everywhere.
Hope it is a 4-2-3-1 with Mata centrally
But it won’t be, unfortunately.
by TPalmer on Feb 11, 2012 2:35 PM GMT via mobile reply actions
Very disappointed that the 4-2-3-1 has been dropped again!
It is the only formation that Chelsea look good going forward with!I think it will be yet another game performance with lots of long shots into the stands and slow build up play!
Could it not be a 4-2-3-1 where Lampard is the CAM and Mata is playing on the left?
Cech—————————
Bosingwa—Ivanovic—Luiz—Cole
-———-Essien——Raul——————
Sturridge——-Lampard———Mata
-———————-Torres———————-
This is definitely a strong midfield
All three of them can shoot, and hold possession, and defend. But they’re also all pretty slow and not particularly creative. I’m not sure where the goals come from here. But we’ll boss possession.

Essien's quick enough
He’s the BISON,dammit!! :P and they’ve all got a good passing range-anyway,hope for the best. And hope we don’t get caught on the counter.

Alright everyone...
let’s get a win here. They’ve shown sometimes against the odds, and maybe even despite strange lineups, formations and prior results, that they’ve been able to pull out some wins. I sure hope that this game is one of those!
Wanted a Mikel start
But works,I guess. Meireles-Lampard combo though…it’ll be better with Essien around,think he can free them up. But for some reason I think this reverts back to playing Essien defensively…which sucks.
by Avinash Mohan on Feb 11, 2012 2:52 PM GMT via mobile reply actions
He may sub in
he hasnt played in awhile… he may need to ease into fitness again, as well as the game. The formation would probably shift a little.
Yeah,but Mikel's been training all week
While Lamps just came back two days ago. Oh well. I just wanted Mikel holding with Essien in front and one of Lamps/Meireles next to him.

Typical of this season.
Shocking defensively, only one game where we looked solid and that was against Valencia at home.
Have we gotten it to the top third
other than the offside call? For serious?
why are we playing so many long balls?
are we trying to kick it to Drogba at the ACon?
So much for bossing the midfield and possession
Clearly, that’s not happening. I miss Romeu right about now

Leighton Baines
really rocking that 70’s ‘doo. He should link up with Welbeck and we can start a 70’s 80’s and 90’s review. Who gets to be the 80’s hair?
So much for any width
we might have hoped for. How many black jerseys can we put in the middle?
That was a good bit of possession
And it started with David Luiz bombing forward.

He hasn't always done that well against Distin in the past.
Hmm… maybe the right wing isn’t so good for him today.
I kinda wish they wouldnt show Torres every time he miscues
Because he is always blowing a snot rocket. Ugh.
i kinda wish
we just put in Lukaku right now
Meireles has sucked for two months
what the hell happened to him
Nothing
He’s just a mid-table kind of player.
And Meireles gives the ball away needlessly
Get used to this because it’s guaranteed this will happen at least five more times today.
Damnit Nando
You’re gonna have to run for those.
would like to see Mikel
shift Lamps up, Meireles off

Well
if you are an American, it is generally because he is pretty good for our team. Otherwise, he’s sort of a tool.
Well
I think you’ll find a lot of people actually agree more with that sentiment. The only people that like him are maybe some LA fans, some Everton fans, and anyone that does America’s commentary on FSC.

Dear Danny
We already have Torres who needs the ball at his feet. Not the same from you, too, please. That’s 2 too many that don’t run to get the ball when it goes just past them.
well since only one of them actually shoots
let’s get rid of Torres and bring on Lukaku
Ha
Any chance to say it, right? I’m in favor of Lukaku coming on, but that wasn’t my point at all.

Not really the case, so it’s embarrassing.
Who'd have thought

K Torres
wrong kind of fights to be doing. Stop.
None of the little player changes will make a difference
The problem is structural. Drogba has been terrible this year, Torres can’t score. No striker will be able to score in this system.
Saying the problem is structural misses out ont he fact that our strikers have also been terrible
by Graham MacAree on Feb 11, 2012 3:50 PM GMT up reply actions
They have been terrible
But there has also been horrible service. The ball movement is slow, our midfield doesn’t have a single creative player, and AVB’s system is terrible.
what about his system is terrible?
besides the terrible players trying to implement it?
Because it doesn't make sense for the players we have
Most of our players are playing in a system that simply makes no sense for them (i.e. Torres with no AM, Sturridge wide right instead of central, Lampard central instead of attacking, etc…)
so it's the players not the system
obviously these players are not gonna all stick around
"The ball movement is slow, our midfield doesn’t have a single creative player"
That was also the case 5 years ago and Drogba still managed to score a few…
Not even remotely similar
Chelsea’s midfield 5 years ago was Lampard in his prime, Ballack, Makalele, and Essien in his prime. That’s 3 creative midfielders and a completely different system (4-1-2-1-2)
That''s not 3 creative midfielders at all...
That’s 3 very physical controlling midfielders. And it was a 4-3-3 then, the same as it is now.
Drogba has been good in big games
and he helps Sturridge play better. Torres has had good glimpses as an attacking midfielder, and has been absolutely atrocious as a striker.
Drogba really hasn't been bad at all
He had one utterly abysmal game and has otherwise, at worst, been sub-par. Torres, on the other hand, has been atrocious.
Drogba has 3 goals in 15 games in the Premier league
Pretty terrible for a striker.
Those straight stats are not good
Drogba at least manages to create opportunities for Sturridge. Torres falls down in the box and complains to the ref incessantly.
And, of course, when you don’t count CL fixtures, yes, Drogba hasn’t been exemplary. We should rule out all good performances in order to make our points stand!

i don’t want Lamps and Cech to go. the rest can go wherever they want
My Chelsea lineup:
(4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Jose Bosingwa, John Terry, David Luiz, Branislav Ivanovic; Michael Essien, Ramires; Salomon Kalou, Juan Mata, Daniel Sturridge, Didier Drogba.

if Torres attacked the defenders with the same energy he
uses to argue with the refs, he might score a goal (sometime)
I would like Torres to go back to Liverpool
And act like he was never at Chelsea. Maybe we can all do the same.

I mean, it was a foul, but he got the ball first.
Torres was 25 yards out.

Acc to Dan Levene (Fulham Chronicle):
Chelsea fans singing: “You don’t know what you’re doing.” Everton fans counter with: “Getting sacked in the morning.”
Couldnt buy a whole new team
Which based on their performance, is what we’d need. I think players and management are at fault. Don’t see how that isn’t a reasonable thought.
Besides us supporters being frustrated did you also notice the players?
Torres, Brani etc showing far more frustration than normal. All is not well at the club.

I feel like that's why Carlo was sacked more than for his team finishing second
It was more of a ‘Roman, if you get me Fernando, I guarantee we win the Premiership’. And then they didn’t. And then Fernando blew.
Well then, hopefully Roman has learned that he should probably listen to his managers when it comes to talent
Because, what a fucking terrible purchase.
Did Carlo admitted it recently
or do we simply guess based on what we observe? Not sayin’ it’s right or wrong, just curious because I don’t always follow up news

How do you think Spurs get away with a tactically clueless manager? Their team actually performs.
How can you motivate players that don't think they're going to even be there in a year
I certainly don’t dispute some of these formations and things that AVB has done have been ridiculous (why always a 4-3-3, buddy?), but this team is just ass right now.
Especially considering his history of doing just that.

i hope AVB stays
the younger generation of Chelsea players is good and will be perfect for his system. Mata, Luiz, Ramires, Sturridge, Lukaku …
The only reason I want him to stay is because I hate constantly changing managers!
Apart from that I’m not too worried if he gets sacked. He doesn’t seem to be able to motivate the team at all, the spirit of previous years is gone, it doesn’t seem as if he has the team believing in themselves. Tactically he doesn’t convince me at all. His man management seems very poor. The defence is worse than at any point since Abramovic arrived and the attractive football that he was supposed to bring to the club is nowhere to be seen. If anything Chelsea are less effective going forward and less entertaining than in the Mourinho days!
by conorjmartin on Feb 11, 2012 5:12 PM GMT up reply actions
I never understood the 'entertaining football' serenade
Football is entertaining if you win games. It’s not if you don’t.
That seems all too simple to me.
I agree, I was always entertained in the Mourinho days!
But the general consensus was always that Mourinho’s Chelsea were boring and methodical. The thing I miss most about those days is the way that when an opposing player got the ball within 2 seconds there would be 3-4 Chelsea players snapping at him, every manager since seems to prefer the policy of dropping off and letting the opposition have time on the ball!
by conorjmartin on Feb 11, 2012 5:19 PM GMT up reply actions
But then it's difficult
or even impossible to make a match “entertaining” for oppo supporters. I for instance can never find a Pool match entertaining whatever sexy style they might play and how much they might score. Except you’re Barca, then you’re entitled to the beautiful game™ regardless how much you whine in front of the referee or keep rolling on the pitch faking injuries

Mourinho?
just look into last year… how is this better then with Carlo? I hate hhanging managers too and AVB is a good guy, young, inteligent, smart, etc and i was bought into thinking this is what was needed. Now i am not sure anymore. I would like to see some promise THIS season.
True-I was really pissed off last season when Carlo got sacked!
The double winning season should have been enough to earn him the chance to rebuild the team!Abramovic made the mistake of blaming the manager when the players clearly weren’t good enough any more-the squad was too old and lacked any depth at all and there was also a mid-season injury crisis which is where everything went wrong last season, apart from that period we were as good as anyone!
