DOes anyone think this would work, hazard as a false 9??


Cech

Apilicueta Cahill Terry Bertrand

Ramires Luiz Oscar

Moses Hazard Mata

Doubt it, cause neither Hazard or Mata goes back and defend and Luiz is NOT a midfield player stop it.

If Hazard were playing as a false number 9 his defensive responsibilities would be minimal.

firstly a false number 9 doesnt really defend secondly hazard is always tracking back if you watch a game and thirdly were not spain or barca so stop with the false number 9 rubbish

curt

False number 9 would work, and luiz use to play midfield. BLUEBOY1

Really hope Suarez gets a yellow card today then he will be banned to play us next week!

I hope he dives and gets caught, so the ref cards him..

The ref was very lenient with the cards. Didn't give any yellows unfortunately.

We will smash them anyway.
Hazard>suarez
oscar>suarez
mata>suarez

How does everybody think how well Neymar would do in England?

I'd say he'd be a star

May take a season to be at his best but he would be amazing at chelsea linking with hazard , mata , oscar ,i know people say players might not adjust to a new league and language but i think world class players can cope if you watch him play his touch technique and vision is amazing ,and hes a very good finisher, he is simlar build to oscar and may find the power of the prem a bit much at first ,but with players like we have all interchanging moving and creating space i think it would be a perfect fit,he has 5 years on messi and 8 on ronaldo,if he came to europe soon and was a success and managed to win the world cup 2014 in brazil which is a good shout im sure he would win the ballon dore and be known as the best in the world , i would love him to come to chelse we would have the best attack in the world and would like to see us go head to head with barca and play !! canton!

His too good not to do well, I think he would be amazing! His going barca thou

Too lightweight for epl. No chance of him coming to England, will be barca or real.

How can you say hes too lightwieght? Oscars managing it isnt he?

Jordan

Yeah but Oscar is not a striker.

Neymar's not a a striker though, he's a winger.

Peds

Yeah but if he were to join us he would be playing in the number 9 role. Or do we bench one of the trio?

Melbourne i honestly do think it cost us the game. Swansea played 30 mins less against Liverpool and were at home against us. Our players were tired and lacklustre, if they were fresh then i think we win the game.

As for Hernandez getting in our team? I could never offer my support to him, i honestly detest the guy. And he doesnt offer enough in his general play anyway.

OsgoodIsKing

I can't agree that 30mins of football could have an such a detrimental effect on the team. Moses, Hazard, Oscar, Torres, Romeu, Rami?, Ivan, Cole all didn't play the 120 mins mate, so realistically they had played an even amount or in some cases less then the Swansea boys.

I don't want to even get in to Hernadez mate, with you on that one.

Melbourne CFC

I agree to a certain extent, but when you take into the account the extra Champions League games, Community Shield, Super Cup etc, all games when Swansea players have had chance to rest, they all add up. And RDM hasnt rotated once really, so i think the build up of these games, including wednesday, has left our boys a bit drained, mentally and physically. Add into there International breaks when all our boys play for their countries and Swansea players get time off. And then obviously home advantage for them. I just think Wednesday was the perfect time to give them a rest and recoup, which we missed out and i think cost us.

Yeh we can all agree that Hernandez is a complete and utter t*t.

OsgoodIsKing

I completely understand where you're coming from mate but what team would you have put out on Wednesday? With Ivan, Terry and Cole out we couldn't do much different with the back. Torres out so Sturridge had to start. Piazon and Moses both started (Marin not available) and Romeu getting a run. Only players that were first team regulars that we could've done without were Rami and Mata. Who would you have played instead of them?

Its still very early in the season and I doubt the Swansea result will have a massive impact on our end league position. However, if we had of been done, by Utd, twice in a week at home, both fan and player moral would be shot to hell.

A lot of posters of here were saying at the start of the season they want to challenge on all fronts, so being 10 games into a season, I can't accept being tired as a reasonable excuse.

Melbourne CFC

I know we're 10 games in to the Premier League, but add in the comps and internationals, and some of our players have played nearly 20 games in the space of 3 months, i think they are showing signs of tiredness already.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one Melbourne mate.

OsgoodIsKing

Agreed Osgood. Let's just hope we can get 6 points from all competitions this week ey.

Melbourne CFC

Yeh fingers crossed. Wins in both games is a must.

OsgoodIsKing

It is mate. I reckon we will do the business over Shaktar but always worry about Liverpool games. I had the feeling before the United game, our first loss would come against Pool. Been proven wrong, but still worried.

Glad JT will be back to marshall the defence, as we have been lacking a leader on the pitch recently.

Melbourne CFC

Get a room you two!

The point of the page is discuss things Chelsea with other posters you petulant gromit.

Melbourne CFC

It's called banter mate! Or maybe you don't have that down under? Don't cry about it brucey!

This is one reason why i go on this page to read a good Chelsea debate and i enjoy it, thanks guys

I think Moses up front is honestly our best option.

cali

We have tried Sturridge up there once and he scored. Give him a chance!

Jordan

04 Nov 2012 12:55:37
Yeah scored in extra time a chance that was gifted to him other than that wasted our attacks has a horrible touch and is scared to get into 50/50s. Torres all day!

why does everybody want Falcao yeah sure he is an amazing striker there's no denying this, but do you really think he'll suit our style of play ? he ain't that fast and I don't think I've seen him beat a man where as someone like Torres can but just lacks that finishing touch, he is way better than he was last season so just because he doesn't score every game doesn't mean he needs to get the boot and i guarantee that most of you who slate him would praise him like a god if he got a hat trick in the next game ...

The Khal...

Falcao would be the missing piece of the puzzle mate. His dribbling is not first class but he always plays around the edge of the box. With Oscar, Mata, Hazard and Moses feeding him, his ability to take a touch turn and shoot is incredible. If he has a couple of yards of space, facing goal he has the ability too place his shots in the corners of the net is unbelievable. He would be the difference is out fighting for the title and walking away with it.

Our style would only change in the fact he wouldnt drop back to bring other players in, but if he can have the ball played to his feet around the box he will punish most teams. With Oscar, mata and hazard one-two's they would find him in good positions many times a game. Im extremely confident he will be a blue in January.

Melbourne CFC

Did you not see what falcao done to us without his pace and dribbling ? 3 goals and should of had 3 more! Torres didn't even have 3 shots

Falcao doesnt need to be fast, he has great movement, sublime finishing, such great knowledge, although hes not tall, hes good in the air. The guy has it all.

03 Nov 2012 23:22:50
Although i am a Torres fan and i do want him to shine for us. Its just very frustrating thinking we need to create 2 or 3 chances for him to score, and its starting to cost us games. United and City have clinical finishers who do win them games, etc Man U v Southampton, City v West Brom. We don't atm and thats whats gonna cost us the title and big games if we dont get one in in January.

OsgoodIsKing

Simple question-why can't we have 2 or 3 world class strikers, like Manchester, Madrid or Barcelona clubs do?

I don't know? That would be nice though.
