This day, at bridge again, battle with top four, Chelsea FC lost to Liverpool. Daniel Sturridge has became the hero after levelling the score line. But the defensif line of Chelsea, has broken by the long ball, with Glen Johnson former Chelsea player breaking the defensif and put the ball to the corner and made it goal, 2-1 for Liverpool. Then after Tottenham win againts Aston Villa, Chelsea down to fifth on the table.
Chelse FC fans pressurewhatpressure posted on the shed as follow:
If Villas-Boas must play a high defensive line
then what he must do as a matter of urgency is play the following team:
GK – Cech
RB – Bosingwa
CB – Luiz
CB – Ivan
LB – Bertrand
CDM – Oriol
CM – Meireles
CM – Ramires
RW – Sturridge
CF – Torres
LW – Mata
Basically with a high defensive line and team press you are always going to leak goals. Barcelona leak them despite having quick, ball playing defenders with a lot of stamina. Bosingwa is cack, Luiz is erratic, Bertrand is young and unproven but at least they have the core fundamentals (pace and touch) to play high up the pitch. I would play Meireles as the most advanced of the three in the midfield triangle. He is the best passer in the team, has a shot on him and can finish from up close.
Thoughts?
