KaKa Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I just can't see the merit in changing the personnel and setup so drastically from game to game, it really confuses me. It's been a pretty busy period so maybe it was to keep the team relatively fresh. Then again, the team that played away to Wigan was so pathetic that the team needed a bit of a shakeup too. Both fair points, but it's hardly going to help the team gel is it? You surely can't be suggesting that we play the same personnel / formation as away to Wigan just to give some consistency though? If they play that dire we need to make changes. If we don't change things then nothing will change. I think the problem is the formation though, and a 4-5-1 is not going to be productive. Ever. It's not the 4-5-1/4-3-3 that is the problem though is it. It's the way the players move the ball and carry out their roles within the formation.

Shak Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Be shocked if this is anything other than a tepid 2 or 3 goal vcitory for Chelsea, who won't have to get out of walking pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't call it 4-3-3 because it's not - The wingers (Milner and Martins) have not been playing in any different a position to what they'd play in as wingers under 4-4-2. But yes I do agree that the 4-5-1 could be implemented better and maybe we could turn it into a 4-3-3 if the players showed more invention and flair. But again, for me, that's down at least in part to the manager's instructions to the players. And it's definitely down in part to the fact that half our outfield players are normally playing in the wrong positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prestonj1989 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Milner played good ball to Duff who made good run but delayed the ball into the box too long. We look better team so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 We're benefitting from the game being much more spread atm. At Wigan there were 20 players in an area the length of the centre-circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
