if we are to play 433, we need a super strong striker (LUKAKU!) to hold up the ball and bring in the players. Too bad Anzhi offered us Eto and Roman nodded his head. We had to let Lukaku loaned out to gain more playing time.

It's just 1 defeat guys, and Newcastle is our bogey team. So yea, heads held high and looking forward to how we bounce back from this defeat.

Ya, have to agree that we are quite poor playing away from Stamford Bridge. But there are still 28 matches to go. Arsenal....if you ask me will they win the epl this season? I can't answer you yes. Ask me again in 10 games, the league table will show us the answer. Consistency is Arsenal's biggest problem. Don't forget Arsenal has yet to face Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham and Us.
Imo, the make or die period of the season will definitely be December. Iinm, about 3-4 games in 2 weeks i think. If we drop points there, really gg. So...optimistic til the max! My heart is always with Chelsea.

I thought of it before, partner up Eto and Torres, but then the problem is who to sacrifice?

Hazard surely needs to be the winger dy, Ram and Lamps for midfield duo, who to play at the right? Oscar? Shurrle seems to be the natural choice.

If we really want to play 442, we need 1 very strong midfield. Someone like PSG's Matuidi or Sevilla's Kondogbia.



This Kondogbia reminds me of a younger Yaya Toure.

To be honest, Falcao is not produced by Atletico Madrid. Only Torres and Aguero played at Atletico Madrid starting from their young age. Forlan had a stinct in Man Utd. Atletico Madrid is a good club yo. Many good players produced there!

Good result! later wil go office to dl the highlights to watch.

Usually most of the highlights video is hosted by dailymotion.

Nice 2nd goal by Eto. Hit it dead on the bottom left corner.

Ram + Mikel combo seems to be nice. Mikel just tackles and sit back, while Ram can be good both attacking and defending.

Ram Mikel pairing is more to solidarity.

Lamp Mikel pairing is more balance as Lamp's passing is usually nice.

Arsengal vs Man Utd this weekend. Hope it's a draw or a win for Man Utd. We'll be facing West Brom, can't afford anymore slip ups! KTBFFH!

Very interesting choices. Azpi at left back? Maybe Jose is finally impress by him in the game against Schalke? Willian seems to be benefiting for his performance against Schalke too.

For once, I am a Man utd supporter tmr. Please win against arsenal, then at least we're not so far behind arsenal. >_<

I think Mou needs to think about our formation. Switch back to 4-3-3? Mikel, Ram and Oscar in the mid. I'm sure with this 3 we can control the midfield and play possession football.

Roman, time to take out your cheque book. Say hello to Falcao! I'm afraid of Roman not being patient actually....rmb what happen to AVB, Scolari? >_< Roman is mad sometimes.

+1 to Azpi playing at LB. You have Cole, 1 of the best current left back in the world. And you played Azpi?

Iva since long time ago I see him as Terry's successor. The moment he start playing at RB, I wad like 'what....'

So Mou, start Cole at LB and Azpi at RB for the next game.

This explains why Iva should be a CB, not a RB. Iva is good in the air, tough tackler. His crossings really just normal. His pace too. But Mou see him as a Gallas. Rmb Gallas? Mou played him in CB, LB.

To be honest. Our 3-5-2 not the ori 3-5-2. If u want a balanced 3-5-2, look at Liverpool's attempt. Enrique and Johnson being the wingbacks. Then Sakho, Skrtel and Toure is the 3 CB. This way it is more balance. Our 3-5-2 is just deployed when we're chasing the game. It's a modification from Mou.

And to be honest, I think we drew the game because of Steve Clarke. He knows our club from inside out. So no big surprise he found a way to stop us from playing our football.

Iva will definitely be a great defender. He is natural defending. He can bully strikers. People have been asking, after Lamps and Terry retired, who will be the next Chelsea captain? A lot answered Luiz, Cahill, Cech, but for me, I prefer Iva, he has been with us for quite some time now, it's his time to lead the team.

What if Mou recall Lukaku back on Jan transfer window? hard to say. Maybe Mou will recall Lukaku back, loan out Torres. With Lukaku and Ba, we can revert to 4-3-3. Lukaku and Ba are good post up players that can bring wingers and midfields into play.
It's still hard to say. All depends on how we perform in Nov and Dec. If we manage to get into form, I think Mou will not sign any player. As we know, Mou don't like to sign players on Jan transfer market.

o.0 got sos? or official statement from our club? Too bad then. I was hoping to see Lukaku don the blues jersey.
