a new mikel..not the old one if we consider the rumors we still in for 2/3 players..RB..CM ( Oscar ) and possible Winger/Striker...we need to shift some players..

can't think of other players for his post. meireles and romeu are behind mikel in the pecking order. oscar is more to attacking than defense. Azpilicueta might been a good addition but can't see him fare better than iva.

Give Lukaku to lead the front line

I agree with this formation. I prefer Hazard to play in wing tho. He looks better in wings.
He wants to play in role 10, because he can be involved more in attacking build up. But I think he suits wing play more. His pace and flair
Marin has been impressing in pre-season matches. If he can improve his defensive ability, he could be vital for us this season. Or he can be a fantastic attacking substitute too!
With Oscar joining us soon (YEAHH!), I really can't wait for the new season already.

i had one problem with kucingmainan's line up. it's Lampard, if we really signing Oscar i hope RDM have the guts to drop Lampard to the bench. I know the game against PSG is just pre-season where we should just chill and whatsnot, but we can see clearly when Lampard and Mikel at the pivot post together the gap between defenses and attacks is to big. it slowing down the tempo while letting the opponent to track back and cover up. Or another option is, Lampard to play Mikel position as DMF. But i wouldn't swap Mikel with anyone for the now.

Starting 11:
Cech
iva-cahill-terry-a.cole
Mikel/Luiz
Lampard
Marin/Mata - Ramires - Hazard
Torres


Last 30 mins:
Cech
Luiz-Cahill-Terry-A.Cole/Ryan
Mikel
Ramires
Sturridge - Mata/Marin
Hazard - Torres

Change to 4-1-1-2-2 as trying to play Hazard as a striker =D

^mata at right wing?
seriously?

oscar need to prove his worth if he want to be in the 1st eleven week in week out. lampard still have smthg to offer. i believe this season will be the final season for frank lampard. i can't see him play for us beyond this season. or play regularly at least.

is it true we already got thorgan hazard? oowh man, more selection headache for RDM but it's a good problem for him to have...

CONFIRMED at CFC edi

i think he's not going to be main man. might be for future.

Yes, I think so. RDM said that there will be few players to play the whole 90 min. What time is the match in malaysia?

Nice reminder there

when is the next game guys...?

Chelski vs MLS all stars. Starting 8am. Any link guys?

tomorrow morning 430am i think ....

i do think that Oscar is like Modric type where Modric become the heart of Spurs where he control the midfield with his passing..so when i saw Oscar play against Team GB..his style of play is similar to Modric..so i think my line up will be like this..hehe

Cech
Iva DL JT Coley
Lampard Oscar
Hazard Mata Marin
Torres

decent line up, but i would swap Lampard with Mikel for his defending ability. Unless Hazard+Mata+Marin can give pressure to opponents, closing space quickly ala Xavi+Iniesta. If lenggang2 walking pace, sure kena bombard our defenses.

i agree with aliffhilmi

and hazard, mata, marin all can switch position between them or perhaps between any two of them

oscar and mikel sounds good enough. lamps to comee in after 60/70 mins

What time is the game tomorrow ? is it around 10am?
