Well. A lot of ppl talking bout how gud is Costa and Fab. But tbh, Hazard is damn gooding too yday, just no goals and assist. But he was involve in all 4 goals iinm. His burst of pace always force opposition to have 2 defender stuck to him. Just look at Remy's goal. Hazard having the ball on the right, with 2 defenders on him, and another closing in. Then he pass to OScar who assisted Remy for the goal. Hazard's role is a bit diff now with Fab. He can distract the opposition defenders with his runs and skills. And when opposition mark Fab, we can always rely on Hazard.

Costa and Fab is just to make us more clinical. The trident is equally as important, so it the pivot player Matic.

Well. Maybe it's Fab. He is not known for being a good tracker or defender. Him playing in pivot maybe have some cons.

Last season with Ram and Matic in pivot, v seldom concede goals. Seems like 433 is more suit to us now? With Ram, Matic and Fab in midfield, Ram can cover for Fab's attacking and link up play.

a very gud watch. Cesc no doubt is gud in attacking and playing passes or 1-2 pass. But his positional awareness is not that great. Which is why he always didn't get to play in the 'Xavi' role in Barca and resulting Barca to push him to a more forward position. I read from the comment. Barca actually sacrifice a bit to adapt to Cesc's style, but in the end to no avail. They even push Iniesta to the wide side and let Cesc play the creator role. But in the end maybe they feel it's not worth it to sacrifice the team's style compared to Cesc's lack of positional awareness.

He always look to go forward, leaving too much space for Matic to cover.

So i think against big team like City, Mou might revert to 433. Ram, Matic and Cesc in midfield. Ram to cover for Cesc's forward play.

If Mou is playing Ram, Matic and Cesc as a midfield trio, it really make us wonder, why not go for Pogba. With Pogba, MAtic and Cesc playing in 433, it is unstoppable!

Well. January is gonna be a weird transfer window for us. If Nigeria qualify for ACN, then Mikel will be on leave. Matic, Ram and Fab to play in PL, CL, FA Cup is not enuff imho. Maybe we'll sell Cech and recall MVG to play in pivot.

If Cech don't get any game time, I'm sure he'll have ideas to leave on January.

Expected Luis to debut, but I thot Iva will be the 1 rested. But it was Azpi pula.

Really surprise to see Dorgba starting. Cech no game time in CL too.

Ramires...why u no shoot harder?

what a goal!!! superb play between Fab and Hazard!

Yea. definitely a foul. But this is Stamford Bridge.

o mai....almost!

Hazard seems to be on fire tonite.

the high pressing game plan is working. Coz Schalke like to play the ball between the 2 CM and the 2 CB and push their full backs forward a lot. So when we win the ball, it's always 4 v 2. We can outnumber their defenders coz their full back kip bombard forward while waiting for the ball.

i was already celebrating, but Drogba heads it into the keeper's arm.

Luis tackling mcm a bit off. Few times he tried tackling and winning the ball in opposition half, but fail tackle. didn't get the ball or the player.

Luis' cross have been very teasing.

the positive thing is, with Hazard and Luis on the left, both of them are linking up play very very well. While Azpi and Hazard, Azpi more defensive, very very seldom will produce good crosses.

Fabragas dirasuk Torres

that shot reminds me of Roberto CArlos. that power!

Btw, our trident and striker seems to switch off liao. Not much pressing, now Schalke can pass more easily.
