Dark Munster Posted 4 March, 2015 Share Posted 4 March, 2015 crap game but we won, and in the last 50 years we have normally lost such games. i would park the bus at Chelsea bring Toby back but keep Yoshi in, no Pelle and rely on Long and Mane's pace to hurt them Have to agree with this. And nice to actually be the team parking the bus for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 4 March, 2015 Share Posted 4 March, 2015 Nothing to lose, and they can afford slip ups which psychologically could help, who knows. Christ if Bradford can do it... Wanyama, Morgan and Davis for that one for me, they'll make it difficult for them. Tadic, Long and Mane up front, Toby back in defence. agreed- tbh it depends on who mourinho plays as the cb pairing. if cahill and terry play, long and mane can use their outpace them both- however zouma has been a revelation for them... i'd play this: forster clyne fonte toby bertrand morgan wanyama davis djuricic mane long 4312 formation bench: davis, gardos, yoshida, elia, tadic, jwp, pelle wouldn't even mind seeing mane up front and tadic and djuricic behind him, with long on bench. Koeman knows best though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintTex Posted 4 March, 2015 Share Posted 4 March, 2015 ----------------Forster------------------ Clyne--Fonte--Alderwiereld--Bertrand ----Wanyama-------Schneiderlin------ --------------Djuricic------------------- Mane----------Long--------------Tadic bench: K. Davis, Elia, Pelle, Yoshida, Gardos, Davis, JWP None of this 3-5-2 nonsense. Go with a 4-2-1-3. I would start Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand, Vic, Morgan every game here on out - if healthy - without fail. So really, it is about finding the right places/scheme for the other 4. Djuricic has the creativity to play the #10. Tadic needs to be on the left. Drop Pelle. Mane will have to adapt on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 4 March, 2015 Share Posted 4 March, 2015 Against Chelsea the 10 will play deeper so more likely Davis or JWP. Tadic and Mane either side of Pelle for me. Wasn't as if Long did anything to show he should start. His first touch is ****ing woeful and we will need someone who can hold the ball up, and Pelle does that.

Dan Johnson Posted 5 March, 2015 Share Posted 5 March, 2015 We wont have possession for long periods. I think our best chance is on the break, Terry & Ivanovic aren't the most pacey. 2 ways of looking at it. We don't play Pelle & we play 3 quick players to hit Chelsea on the break or we play Pelle and hope he can hold up the ball, win a few free kicks & help take the pressure off the back 4.

In other news, can we change the thread name to 'Chelsea'? Good point to be fair. They are excellent defensively, the best back 4 in the country and very good in the air, you're right the only weakness might be pace. The fact that Koeman took off Pelle on Weds night suggests he might be looking at alternatives, but I don't really think Long through the middle is the answer. Maybe Mane up front, with Djuricic, Tadic and Davis threading through the balls, but that's quite a big change in our playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
