Jos? reinforces the idea that Ballack won't be an automatic starter as he was last season: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hli ... &channel=&

Glad to be back posting. Never left the forum though, i do come as often as i can to read what you guys are saying. :)

I guess it would be Lampard and Essien in the two places available in the 4-4-2 with wingers. Jos? did it with good results in a couple of games at the start of last season.

Jos? Mourinho in the interview in the Times: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 076399.ece "We will work our 4-3-3 with wingers, of course, and we will change our 4-4-2 with a diamond to a 4-4-2 with wingers. So the objective of having Robben and Malouda and Joe [Cole] and Kalou and so on is because we want to have always these solutions to give width to our game, to give depth, to give speed, to give creativity. We want to do that.? "(...)there is the possibility of playing with two strikers and one of them being the man to play in between the lines. Didier is not the man for that, Didier is a striker man. Kalou is not the man, he?s a pure striker too. But Pizarro and Sheva [Andriy Shevchenko] are very intelligent players in the way they move behind and they can be the man to come from behind, so in this moment we have solutions for these two systems. I hope not to play with the diamond unless I need to do it for some reason. I have so many good midfield players I can do it, but basically we want to play with wingers."
