Will two man attack work for Chelsea?

Only his shots, Luiz is better than Alex. There is a reason why Luiz plays for Brazil and not Alex.

What kind of player is Luiz?

Calm collective defender, he's not the type that rushes in...he waits and just anticipates. He's somewhat similar in style of defending to Carvalho, Ferdinand, Pique..etc.

He can dribble the ball too.

I respect your opinion Jorge but from what I've seen of Luiz he can't defend as well as Alex can. His strength comes into question tbh.

He can always hit the gym if he's strengths lacking

This .... although what bout Villa with Spain?











TorresxVilla

Villa is Spanish so they'll have a better chemistry. Also, they are supported by Alonso, Iniesta, Xavi. With those three behind you, you can't not do well.

Strength wise, Alex can dominate any defender on that, but defensive sense and positioning is what I think Luiz is great at.

Chelsea needed Luiz. defence lacked agility and pace, all we had were destroyers with great strength but no pace. Now we have a defender to link defence to midfield well, can time tackles perfectly, and is pacy and agilr

Cech
Ivanovic - Terry - D.Luiz - Cole
Essien
Ramires - Lampard - Malouda
Drogba - Torres

And to Rei: Torres on the left is pretty much waste, maybe if it was a player like VP or Rooney.

Hes not playing wide left, he's be playing more like the inside left position. If you watched the Inter game on Sunday, Eto'o was playing wide right, Milito central, and Pazzini tucked in on the right, with Maicon doing all the wing work. That's the system I'm proposing.

Yeah I understand but I still think Torres would be better in center..I don't really see him as a drop off forward...at least I never seen him play like that, he's always played in center always but Pazzo and Eto'o know how to do all that.


But using that style you said..you saying that Malouda should be dropped then? or what?


p.s. stupid Palermo should have put that game away, could have been 4-0 by Inter's 1st goal.

Drogba will be leaving. He's 32 ayo. He'll decline soon. Could probably scrape a bit of cash back.

I see it like this...

--------------Torres------
------------Drogba-------
Malouda----------Ramires
-----Essien-Lampard----
Cole---Terry--Luiz-Ivanovic
--------------Cech------------

Lets see what Carlo comes up with.

Don't see either Torres or Drogba being the supporting striker TBH.

Kinda forget about Malouda 4-2-3-1 then Drogba Trequartista

Wish we got Luiz

I do. Drogba hardly has great pace to run the channels so Torres will do all that stuff and Drogba will be in the box and also knock balls from the air onto Torres.

ancelotti use to doing 442 diamond when he was in milan and also did that in first months of chelsea

but it did not work because they had no natural number 10. lampard was try but he was epic fail in that position

maybe he is saving it for benayoun? because he is only number 10 in chelsea squad. another is mceachran but he is so young....so who know

maybe torres can play off drogba

Do you think Torres has enough to his game to play that role Rei? Seems a waste when he's best utilised on the shoulders of the defenders...

Yes?

Anyways...I don't see why Chelsea would spend so much $ on Torres if they are going to leave him on the bench.

Surely a 433/or some type of 442.

He hasn't been as well this season, but he is quite highly rated by many.

Villa played on the left for spain

I think they should go with the vaunted 1-9, virtual all out attack. Just Terry on the backline by himself.

When I see Torres play he has a habit of drifting out to the left before coming in. My suggestion was based on that. I think that's probably why he has a poor scoring record for Spain since Villa occupies that space.

Maybe a 4-2-2-2?

-----Drog Torres
Malouda--------Anelka
----Essien-Lamard

I thought the problem with the diamond is that it's too narrow? Surely the 4-2-2-2 is even more narrow?

Malouda and Anelka would be pretty wide, but narrow enough for cole + Bosingwa to bomb forward

Chelsea have always played narrow though, even at our best last year we went the widest of the teams

alex has different qualities to david luiz and vice versa

Your Sig. No wonder were are rubbish at football in the world cup with that attidude. Just look at Barca, Arsenal ...

Will be interesting to see a Drogba and Torres as strike partners, i think it could work.
