Unbeatable 11

Can anyone beat us now with this starting 11:

---------------------------------------Cech----------------------------------------
--Ivanovic-----------Luiz------------------------Terry--------Cole------
---------------------Ramires-----------------Mikel---------------------
--Hulk-------------------------Mata--------------------Hazard---
----------------------------------Torres----------------------------

Great team; Strong in goal, although we need a good sub goalie, strong in defense, strong in midfield, good strenght and pace with Ramires in there as well, and obviosly strong up top with arguably the strongest front 4 in world football, this team is definitly good enough to win the quadruple ......Happy days, great to be a chelsea fan right now yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, still cant believe we pipped both manchester clubs in signing Harzard, im well chuffed...

Cole was off his best for a few months (although never dire), but he's been back to his best for some time now, not just a good final.

He may not be the undisputed best left back in the world he once was (although I struggle to think of who’s better) but he is still the best in the PL. People just really want to write him off so jumped on the chance when his form dipped for a while. He’s bounced back and is still only 31 so hardly past it.

Most of those that write him off would love to have a player of his quality at LB.

Yet Terry and Luiz- particularly in terms of win percentage- is by far our most succesful pairing over the last 18 months.

Terry's pace isn't an issue at all, he's never been quick (so doesn't have to adapt his game e.g. Rio), and very rarely gets caught out by fast strikers. A CB partner who is fast helps, but is not essential. Alex wasn't exactly quick either but they had a great partnership

I still wanna see Luiz experimented further up the field, not because he 'can't defend', but because I think Cahill and JT should be our first choice CB partnership and he's just too good to be left out of the starting 11.

Any team is beatable.

Mikel can be a little too negative at times with the passing back rather than forwards. I would like to see Cahill in place of Luiz and slot Luiz in Mikels holding role.
Cover for the back four and pace and vision going forwards. Didnt he play as a DM before joining us?.

Luiz has always played CB. It's he opposite - whenever played uot of position thus far he hasn't done so well

"Chelseamf u cant play with two holding midfielders who are quite small in size. I wouldnt play Ramires and Banega and also they both like to go forward"


Yes you can as Banega is quite stocky he will be able to hold his own alongside Ramires.
The tandem between Mata and Banega at Valencia was just simply magically(Make It happen Roman)
Banega is disclipined enough to know that when Ramires maurades forward,he will have to maintain position.
