Aeris 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) We have every chance to take this with a squad like ours. Hopefully Marveaux is back with a crack and kicks Jonas out on his ass. It doesn't take too many history lessons to see that less poor performers has been sent to the reserves in all eternity before....but we are also the team that tries to utilize the likes of Shola to the "fullest"... This is what I think we should do. Before we release the Percher once more, I suggest we use 3 good centre halves to prevent Debuchy and Santon, who are weak defensively, to be heavily involved in the back and be more involved going forward. As long as Benny is not back, and we have no other exceptional wing to use this is a good deal for us I think. Sissoko, Anita, Cabaye and Marveaux sparkling together in the midfield, Cisse on top and Gouffran his cover (dont wanna see more of this fucking Ameobi shit, PARDEW!!!) Krul Taylor---Mbiwa---Colo Debuchy-----Anita-------Santon Sissoko-------Cabaye Marveaux Cisse Edited January 29, 2013 by Aeris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If we play like we did in the Villa first half then we have a chance, but I'm pretty sure Ba will come back to haunt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I proposed something more like a 3-3-2-1-1 formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Tricky one to predict. Chelsea are inconsistent at the best of times, but can tear anyone apart on their day. We, on the other hand, come into the game on the back of a huge, huge win at Villa. I would imagine the entire side will be the same as the one we started at Villa with. I can't see it being changed too much. You could make a case for Mbiwa starting in place of Taylor maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoCo85 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Venturing up north for this one as the missus got me tickets for my birthday. Seriously looking forward to this one! As marveaux is out for 2-3 weeks and gutierrez is apparently injured, reckon we could see Anita involved from the off as part of that attacking 3 midfielder thing pardew likes to do. I'd rather push Santon up, but with Haidara as backup, it would be a bit of a batism of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 3106 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Great OP. Love the tactical analysis. Kind of falls flat when you are unable to count to 11 though. Wouldn't you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Question is - how long will Mbiwa sit on the bench? I would like to see all 3 CBs play together but not sure if it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4856 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 People want us to play 3 at the back? We've 4 centre backs so as soon as one is injured or suspended Williamson is right back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Why would anyone want us to play three at the back? Since I've had a ticket any time we've ever tried it, it's fell completely on it's arse. The only team I've seen using it in this country for years is Citeh this season and they've struggled badly every time Mancini's forced it on them. I can only assume he's trying because Juve have had some success with it recently but I can't remember seeing any other team use it in ages.

Li3nZ 1 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It started off on a bad suggesting 3 at the back... Then of course the 10 players thing... I suppose it could work! Please do remember, we have tried this before. We have tried this on a few occassions. It has been debated and suggested on MANY occasions and it NEVER works. I know it may sound ridiculous to completely dismiss a formation based on historical trends, but in our case I would say it's a good shout. No point messing around with funny formations especially with a fresh squad (and ony 10 players). : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Sissoko and Cabaye we are still in a little deep shit when it comes to confidence, and I'm not so sure we'll stand a chance if we match Chelsea with the same type of formation as them. They got amazing wingers like, we have none... but we have way better players than Villa had yesterday playing us with a similar tactic.

BigWalrus 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 A secure defence isn't created by simply adding more defenders. All that serves to do is reduce your outlets to play out of defence and invite more and more pressure. A strong defensive performance must be matched across the pitch. You can't simply stick an extra defender in there and give the midfielders a free role. As has been suggested, stopping Juan Mata could be crucial - this will depend on the performance of Sissoko / Perch / Anita (delete depending on who plays!) in the deeper midfield role more than it will on Coloccini, Taylor or Mbiwa.
