Luke Shaw to replace Cole...very good lad

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...lsea-again.html

he definitely a fan of chelsea..but we still got Bertrand and Aanholt there..better stay at Soton for now..after Cole retire then we can see if we need him or not..

whos the greatest midfielder ... 

all are great midfielders , all had a big role to play for their respective clubs.
goals are just part of the game .

I miss Lampard, Ballack and Deco trio..damn

how do they play last time ? i only started follow heavily since the napoli win at last year's CL .
really inspired me to watch football lolol

for the past , i have no clue on football formations and stuff hahaha .

‘Look, if I have a triangle in midfield – Claude Makelele behind and two others just in front – I will always have an advantage against a pure 4-4-2 where the central midfielders are side by side. That’s because I will always have an extra man. It starts with Makelele, who is between the lines. If nobody comes to him he can see the whole pitch and has time. If he gets closed down it means one of the two other central midfielders is open. If they are closed down and the other team’s wingers come inside to help, it means there is space now for us on the flank, either for our own wingers or for our full-backs. There is nothing a pure 4-4-2 can do to stop things’.

Speaking about midfield trio in 433, I think my all time favorite would be Lampard, Essien and Makelele during Mourinho era.
Makelele was incredible in his position,and this is why the defensive midfield role are often called as the Makelele role nowadays.
The 433 under Mourinho is most effective against 442 formation. I remember Mourinho once said that, under a 433 formation, the team will always have advantage against a 442 team where the team only has 2 midfielders side by side.
I like Malouda-Lampard-Ballack trio under Carlo era too. Those rampaging wins!

Really hope JM will come back..

Malouda once a top scorer and his time is up.. consistent fantasy point from him..

what will happen to all those young players when he return. JM is not known to use young players  right?

If JM really comes back then lampard most definitely will stay...

after 2 year JM will bolt out from chelsea and find a new challenge 
prefer young coach and stay all the time ala Alex / Wenger

AVB.

and see what happen to him..?

2 years JM will bolt out? maybe not..if he can bring success...Roman never done any mistake twice..

simple solution to stay as chelsea manager..you perform you improve..you can stay. minor hiccup acceptable..but never mess with the dressing room and avoid free fall.
