Fair enough mate! The basic point is that we all know how important Makelele is to Chel$ea, but he makes some interesting points about how important Gudjohnsen is in turning defence into attack...with Robben and Duff both coming back from injury, we should give them a few kicks early on, put a man on Gudjohnsen and hassle the sh*t out of Makelele...

All he described was how you play football, what a defensive mid does, and why passing the ball is a good idea..... doesn't seem like a genius to me.

Still thought it was worth a read....apologies if I'm not the tactical genius you are L-Type

Tuesday nights chelski tactics: drogba to win an occasional long ball and knock down to lampard but lampard unable to shoot cos hamanns on him like flys on sh1t. Robben denied space by finnan all day up the left. duff unable to get beyond the long legs of traore. Liverpool win 2-0

What about Duff, Rpbben, Lampard, Gudjohnsen, Drogba and any other chelski player on the field to "trip" over Traore's legs

3 changes:

1)I wouldn't station dudek at the corner flag :rasp

2)I wouldn't leave such a huge cap in front of dudek.

3)Gerrard & Garcia swop places.

I personally would play more like this.

DUDEK
FINNAN CARRA HYYPIA TRAORE
HAMANN
GARCIA BISCAN RIISE
GERARRD
BAROS/CISSE
With Chelsea's tendency to play a narrow attacking core up front, this would do well to stop any chelsea threat. Also one the ball is picked up by either Garcia or riise on the wings, they can cross it into 2 or 3 people in the box off a counter attack. Also Gerrad is free to roam around as he should.

i get the feeling that rafa might start with kewell....not sure why...just a hunch.

by **dawson99** » Mon May 02, 2005 4:24 pm

i thought kewell was one of the betetr players on saturday. i have ripped into kewel as much as the next person but if he does start, he needs our backing 100% as does every other player
