How is Jose gonna implement counter attacking football this season? (self.reddevils)

sittingbull15 が 投稿

Back in 2003-2006, Jose's team has terrific set up with Robben, J Cole, Gudjohnson, Deff and Drogba as front four with Lampard, Mekelele, Essein and Ballack in midfield, not to mention the solid back four of Terry, Carvalho, Gallas and Ashley Cole, GK as Cech.

Do we have players similar to those folks above? I think we will see more Jessie and Fellani along with Pogba in midfield this year. Hopefully Rooney gets back in top form or Mata/Mhki plays at a 10

No, we don't have players really exactly like them, and we especially don't have as solid of a backline as he did at Chelsea the first time around.

We have Martial who is similar to Robben, but he's less direct. Then Joe Cole I guess you could say is someone like Lingard or Mkhitaryan. Gudjhonesen and Drogba alternated, you can say Ibra is like Drogba, but they're really not the same. Drogba was an animal who harassed defensive lines, physically and mentally, that's not Ibra, Ibrahimovic is classier and sleeker but Drogba was an absolute asshole when he first came to Chelsea, only a little tamer than Diego Costa.

Essien to Pogba, Rooney to Lampard, but we do not have the Makelele type. That would have been Kante, but alas, we don't have him so we make due with what we have.

Our defense is also not similar to Chelsea's original back 4. Gallas was superb, Bailly isn't quite there. Smalling is not at Terry's level albeit they're different defenders. Shaw is also not as good as Cole once was. Our defense is probably quite weak, but it's not horrible, and importantly it has a lot of depth.

I feel Ibrahimovic is a better playmaker than Drogba, he likes to drop back and make plays, like Rooney in 2010.

I wouldn't compare Rooney to Lampard, Lampard is a terrific box to box midfielder who has one of the best positional sense to make the correct runs into the box and score a goal. Rooney don't really have that, and Mourinho wants Rooney to play in an attacking midfielder/striker role, so he would be more advanced that Lampard. Schneiderlin back in his last season at Southampton played that role quite well. Of course he's not near Lampard's level yet, and hasn't even showed his Southampton form so far.

If we are going to play a counter attacking style than Mkhitaryan instead of Rooney at the 10 will fit better imo
