What do people think of this formation? With hazard pulling the strings allowing more game time for willian/pedro and CHO.
he played off giroud a couple times last year more centrally (FA cup semi and final) and got MOTM in both and won us the FA cup.
CHO-Giroud-Willian*
-------Hazard----------
---Jorgino-Kante------
*or Pedro.
I've heard Sarri is a 4-3-3 man, and with two destroyers and a back four with less emphasis to bomb on then 5 at the back or wing backs. We should have enough in midfield.
If needed Willian can swap with hazard and drop in and help the midfield.
Hazard At AM?

Giroud won't be starting. I don't think Sarri even wants him in the squad

Hazard is most effective on the left. We will have a lot more of the ball this season so Hazard will have reduced defensive work to do already.
Hudson-Odoi can play there IMO, He has the technical ability combined with a great burst of pace.
___________Courtois
Azpilicueta Luiz Rüdiger Emerson
_____Kanté Jorginho Vecino
_____Bailey Morata Hazard
I think the side could have this look about it... Obviously Vecino, Bailey and Courtois could all not be in there but I'd be surprised if the other 8 positions don't mirror this team.

I think hazard could be good in the middle. Last year he had to come so deep on the left it was frustrating. Towards the end of the season he played well more central. obviously not saying he will be better more central as he is so effective on the left, but would be an interesting experiment.

Didn't realise Hazard was playing right back.

Don't see Hazard playing in the midfield 3.
We've been linked to Vecino this morning so we're clearly after a 3rd midfielder as Sarri cannot be impressed with Bakayoko and Drinkwater

You're forgetting last season under Conte we played defensively.
Get out of your head the Hazard will be having to constantly track back.
Our defenders will be on the half way line.

Isco for Hazard and Varane to Chelsea would hqve been perfect but that won't happen!

What you on about? That's basically what my comment is alluding to. That hazard won't have to come as deep this year It wasn't in my head at all.

Kind of like the 4231 formation we played under Jose. With Hazard in the Oscar role. We’ll most likely be weaker defensively but I can see us scoring a lot more goals.
