Azpilicueta

--------Azpi------Bonucci-----someone------

I can't see Conte loving Zouma. In Italy everyone is much more comfortable on the ball, which is the weakest part of Zouma's game. I personally love Zouma and think he has a lot to offer due to his incredible physical qualities - but I have some doubt that he has the technical qualities that Conte would want. I may be wrong.

Zouma is a tank... But isn't a footballer by any means.

You have to look at our defence and defensive midfield and it is simply put, shlt.

We need some "footballers" with a bit of technique!

Zouma, Matic... Ivan and JT can play but we can't be so reliant on 30+ players.

I think we've bought poorly in that department apart from Matic who's dropped so many levels he wouldn't get in Barnsleys side

It's such a shame what's happened to Matic, Had he been even half the player we know he can be then our midfield would literally need 1/2 players to be complete. Cesc, Matic and Pjanic/Naiggolan would be a solid midfield with a bit of Creativity, Power and energy.

Matic has been ridiculous...we sold him as he was average....then we bought him back as he was the white YaYa....now he's retracted back

wonder if it's just a battery change thing...

A CB pairing of Azpilicueta-JT-Zouma is possible then?

how does three make a pairing...?

I wouldn't want Ivanovic on the ball under pressure, infinitely gets feet in a muddle.

three at the back...i'd actually like us to try this...or 4-4-2
I know everyone else plays one up front & 2 strikers is old hat...but still

As it stands It'll be back four next season.
Don't have the quality to play with three at the back.
Summer signings may change that.
