Possession football for Chelsea in 2013/14 season

Featured Replies

It might seem to be a crazy idea but I would suggest to steal Alcantara transfer under the nose of United, buy a good holding mid like Illarramendi and not buy any striker to play a false number 9. Loan Lukaku one last time and continue with Torres and Ba. Also sell Mikel. The line-up would be this:

 

 

---Hazard-----------Mata-------------De Bruyne----

------------Oscar----------Alcantara-------------------

-----------------Illarramendi----------------------------

Cole----------Luiz-------Ivanovic-------Azpilicueta--

---------------------Cech---------------------------------

 

 

Sub Mata with either Torres or Ba when Juan is tired or start with a strike when Juan needs a rest.

 

Subs: Ramires, Torres, Ba, Cahill, Moses, Bertrand, Blackman, Romeu, Lampard, Essien, Schürrle, Wallace, Terry, 3rd keeper.

 

This team would play the best possession football in England, and one of the best in Europe. But we don't have a manager to play this kind of football. Oh well, one can always dream.

You should apply I reckon mate, you seem to hold the secrets of playing 'possession football'.

 

You have certainly thought of lots of super stuff there, you are light years ahead of Mourinho for sure.

No substance, pure naivety!

We'd definitely have lots of possession. Probably lose most games 1-0 on a set piece looking at the height of those players. But hey..

Are you claiming that Mikel, Lampard and Ramires help the team during set-pieces?

Go back to playing Football Manager, Football Manager.

 

This is real life. I want to play how we used to. 4-3-3. Beat the sh*t out of teams. Stamford Bridge a f**king fortress and winning trophies.

Isn't it naive to send someone who never played Football Manager to play Football Manager?

If you claim that they do, then the same thing can do Illarramendi, Alcantara and De Bruyne!

 

I would bet everything I have that Mikel, Lampard and Ramires are better defending set pieces than the other 3.

Yeah, Mourinho played that kind of football with Ranieri's team and in 6 encounters in Europe with Liverpool he managed to score one single goal and never beat them in aggregate. That's probably called "beating sh*t out of teams". LOL
