If we start out first game v hull with this team if be really happy,
Cech
Cole Luiz ivanovic azpilcueta
Oscar de bruyne
Hazard Mata shurrle
Cavani
And obviously for Tougher games we would have a stronger defending midfielder like Luiz and Cahill or terry at back.
I'd love de Rossi and even essein back at Chelsea. So glad we didn't waste money on modric when we have de bruyne and possible van ginkel
Oscar de bruyne is not enough defensive cover there.
Why.
4-2-3-1?
I think ramires will be in the pivot personally
Try switching Azpi and Cole, but besides that it seems good
So Lampards not a starter then? Shame on you.
A Rangers fan
Why not 4231, mata is unbelievable behind striker and hazard and shurrle give us width and pace? Why are u surprised at that formation, we played it all last season and so did Jose at Madrid
No Lampard.
Chelsea fan
Sorry but JM didn't play 4231 at Real. That is what you see on your tv as line up before the match, actually he mostly used 41212 with CR7 and Benzema as strikes. JM likes to play with wiWB. Khedira on the pitch played as RM sometimes DiMaria when Modric played AM. Watch their games more carefuly. Sometimes he played 42121 which actually 433.
Get real, Lampard will not be starter this season
Lopez
Contreao varane Ramos arbeloa
Kderia alonso
Ronaldo ozil di Maria
Benzema
Ronaldo had licence to roam but still 4231
That's an all out attacking team
Id like to think that against hull Oscar and de bruyne could be enough to defend and star moves of at the back, and I love Lampard his an absolute legend but I personally would play other instead of him,
I'd be disappointed v teams like hull if we didn't go all out attack. Teams higher up in lg we should play Luiz Ramires mikel if there as defencive cover but v lesser teams let's just go for it
O come on lamps isn't a two man midfield player get over it.
Cahill or Terry intead of Luiz at CB.
Push Luiz up with Oscar in CDM, Push KDB up in Mid with mata and hazard. Schurrle on the bench as sub for hazard or KDB and rotating them all for the rest of the season.

Chelsea 2013-2014
GK Cech, Ruddy, Blackman
RWB Azpilicueta, Wallace
LWB Cole, Bertrand
CD Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill
CM Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Oscar, vanGinkel
L andRWM Mata, Hazard, Ramires, deBruyne
STR Torres, Schurrle, Lukaku, ( Rooney, Cavani or. Lewandowski).
Marin, Romeu, Ba, Moses andChalobah on loan
Shurlle is not a striker and Tami is not a winger, every Chelsea fan knows this {Ed018's Note - every Chelsea fan also knows we don't have players named Shurlie and Tami}
Schurrle actually playeyed his first full season at Mainz up front! Which was his best goal scoring season.
Who on earth is Tami?
I think they mean Rami
Bayer Lev. for last two seasons played 442, with Stefan Kiesling and Andre Schurrle as strikers. I have seen at least 25 their games last season. Schurrle play as LM for Germany sometimes as replacement for Podolski, and he use to play winger at Mainz. Ramires has given his best games at Chelsea as RM.
If we switch to a 4-3-3 formation then Ramires will definitely be playing as a CM. However unless Jose can make Rami a much better tackler I don't see him starting too many games in the pivot. He'll likely come on as a sub later in the game to run at tired defences and help with quick counter attacks.
As for Schurrle, he prefers to play on the left as an inside forward. I wouldn't envision him starting upfront at all unless there's a striker crisis. Which is unlikely as we already have 3 strikers and we're possibly going to add Cavani.

Oscar gardozso will not be a bad 2nd striker or in a 41212 with cavani on top and gardozo was deadly in the europa final I no he a bit old
He is on his way to Turkey.
Do you mean Cardozo?
Deadly. He scored. And it was a penalty?

I've never seen a man so brave with the truth as Arbeloa. It's incredible the way he supports Mou. Very fearless. Kudos.
Can you put a link please mate?
What has he said?
Dannytrueblue
Arbeloa has defended Jose Mourinho's period at the club, claiming the Spanish PM should be grateful that he served as such a useful distraction for the nation riddle with austerity measures.
Arbeloa insists he and the majority of the squad enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Mourinho.
just search arbeola on mourinho
DeLaRusso
Google Arbeloa, will come straight up.
