If you are playing 3 defenders then zouma must play.... Exchange Willian for Hazard in your set-up..... Hazard and fabregas behind falcao and Costa,pure joy.... Terry will suffer, Mourinho showing no mercy with his 2005 'untouchables'

“It was a one-minute conversation,” Mourinho said. “‘Is it true that you want to leave Barcelona?’

‘Yes, it’s true. I love it here. It’s my home, but it’s time for me to move.’

‘Did you sign already for another club?’

‘Almost, but not yet.’

‘Do you want to come here?’

‘Yes, I want [to].’ For me, it was one minute.

“I told that to my people in the club responsible for the practical side of the market, that he hadn’t signed for another club. Almost, but not yet. I said: ‘He told me he wants to come here, so it’s over to you.’

............

"He (Mourinho) is one of the main reasons why I'm here," Pedro told the club's website. "He phoned me a few times and said he needed me to make the team stronger.

"He has won titles wherever he has been. I am really looking forward to playing under him and hopefully winning more titles.

"I spoke to Cesc. We are very good friends. I knew I would feel at home here and that was one of the main reasons why I decided to join.

...........

United manager Louis van Gaal tried to play down his interest in Pedro during his Friday press conference, but agent Antonio Sanz insists Chelsea were simply quicker to do a deal.

"Maybe Manchester United fell asleep," Sanz told Radio Club Tenerife. "The negotiation with Chelsea was like a lightning bolt.

"It is common knowledge that United were in the bidding for Pedro, but Chelsea were faster and within 24 hours reached an agreement with the club. It was a whirlwind."

......

"When you ask me 'is Pedro fitting in the profile?' I cannot lie and I say yes but I did not say we are interested in the player, that's the difference.

"But you bring it that I'm interested. People have to know that what is writing in the papers is not true because you cannot know.

What's this Fantasy of playing 3 defenders? Please dont even go there. .

Chelsea are a 4-3-3 team or anything close, 4231 or 451 which are almost the same anyway. This is tested and trusted with the right players in the right position!

Someone needs to remind Jose that 4-4-2 has been tried and it failed miserably!

4-3-3 formation will be cool

Matic as DMF, Willian as LCM n fabregas as RCM.

bigkesh:

Pique,Ramos,Vidic,Ferdinand, Carvalho, kuffour......... U should be flogged naked in the Market square for this.....
Just add Delaney and Richard Dunne

You are so obtuse! Rio, Ramos and Vidic are a 100 times better than John Racist. What was John Racist's achievement before he was partnered with Carvalho who was already running things with Porto while yall were still Man U and Arsenal's beeches

Sango electrocute your left scrotum. Eediot!

Putting Hazard in the midfield is limiting him and makes him disappear in matches.

He his best suited on the left wing and roam to the middle and right on his own volition.

The only sarcastic person was airmark which is why I didn't respond to him anyway

My point still remains tho John Racist is overrated. Eni to ba wu ko be

That's a poor excuse..... Hazard's best position is the middle, he excels there....
Do you know a 10 actually roams about like you want hazard to do on the left wing.....

If Hazard is playing as a winger with license to roam about,what's the difference playing as 10......
Hazard has been poor this season, position no be excuse

Get Koke instead of that Overpriced Guniea boy.

For the fact that we have identified and used to a certain formation while others doesn't yield the desired result in past doesn't mean another trial with new personnel will not work out.

A trial is never a crime and those using it aren't special.

Hazard excel where there is space because of his quick and incisive dribbling skills and his highest number of successful take-ons was on the flank.

And Hazard is not the only player playing below par this season which Mourinho also testify to.

Same was said that time and what was the results?

we all saw what happend when Jose tried to pair Crespo/Drogba Drogba/Shevchenko . . Cheslea does not do 4-4-2 or 352. . .

None of those formations have won Chelsea a trophy so whats are we now saying?

Also, doing this after the season has began is crazy. What was the point of the pre-season??

Drogba /sheva/crespo are very poor kinda strikers to play a 4-4-2........The problem isn't the club,its d kinda players used.......
Imagine getting griezman, Then you have Hazard,Matic, Witsel/Fab,Pedro..... that's a Perfect 4-4-2,it will surely work......

U can't pair Costa and Falcao for a 4-4-2.......both aren't Wonderful outside the box

Reiterating my earlier point, the strikers we possess now are quite different from those ones of the past.

Mourinho is not an experimental coach; for him to think of giving it a shot, then he his of the believe that it will work and if doesn't, I know he will never hesitate or waste time to retrace his step.

We are not too far off the same point.

Every player chelsea have bought is to enable the use of 433, 451(or 4231 or whatever you wanto call it). We are not in for any Griezman so what good will 442 bring with the current crop of players?

Bobo. You believe every word mourinho utters in a press conference?

All i know is he wont start a game with 442 but he might revert to his plain 433 of the past. shikena

Before carvalho came, terry was Chelsea's player of the year in 2001. At 26, Terry had been honoured and awarded by Chelsea, English FA, UEFA and FIFA as best defender. Vidic, carvalho, Rio, Ramos at one time or the other were honoured by these reputable soccer bodies. Your Jerome boatank has never won any individual award, not even from his club Bayern munich, yet the id,iot will be 27 next month. You are a t.wat.

Remember Man United last season.

Lalaboi is on point.

Mourinho has always been a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 coach.

The only period he tried pairing Drogba/Crespo in a 4-4-2 diamond was a disaster.

Shebi not a single Nigerian qualified for 100m or what?

Mourinho didn't pair Crespo and DD in a diamond.

That was DD and Shevchenko in 06/07.

Stop wasting your time, energy and data on this JT Boateng argument.

Till forever, you can't change their view. So what's the point?

People that can't differentiate individual awards from team trophy. Is that the kind of people you are arguing with?

Fact is: Boateng didn't win the world cup, German national team did.

Colombia didn't win the golden boot, James did.

That's team trophy and individual award.

Boateng should come out with his list of individual awards and let's compare them with JT's.

^^Give us John Terry performance in big games. Semi finals or finals

BoaTANK can point to CL final and world Cup final

Ibime:

Yeah. My mistake.

Thanks.

When we see Boateng's individual awards then we can talk of performance in finals.

Shut up your cess-hole you malignant gnat! What was Chelsea's standing in world football in 2001 that being tagged their player of the year amounted to anything! My point still stands that John Terry was a nobody till Carvalho's arrival while Carvalho was already a UCL and Europa League winner while also helping his nation to a Euro Final.

John Racist was a product of hype and as we've gone on to see all his teams have gone on to achieve success in his absence

Boa-TANK does not need any individual award to validate his greatness same way Busquets does not need individual award to validate his ability! They are arbitrary with no clear metric on how they are determined. Only a bushpig like you would use that to downgrade a player who are key cogs in the wheels of success for their team. He is one of Europe's elite defenders as we speak whether you like it or not

Ewu! No wonder you think Nigel De Jong and Jeremy Toulalan are playmakers. You are a TOOL-a-lan
