We will play from deeper today in order to limit the amount of space that Chelsea have to play in, allowing them possession of the ball but leaving no gaps, engaging them in our half and then attacking them down the sides.
We will defend in a narrow 4-4-2 in order to make things tight in the midfield, engaging the opposition from half way in order to draw them out and leave space behind them. Aubameyang and Costa will look to press the deeper CMs when they get on the ball, look to slow them down and stop Chelsea dictating the tempo, allow us to control the game off the ball. Once the ball is played from here we trap Chelsea in vertical spaces. If the ball is moved into wider areas then our midfield push across looking to keep things compact and surround Chelsea on the flank, with the FB also pushing up to shut off space, and the winger on that side coming across to help with the FB. We use the opposite winger, Matic, Kondogbia and the remaining strikers to narrow the area of play, forming a barrier that stops them cutting in or picking central passes, one on one our FBs are excellent and will stand up strong and force them down the line if they can’t step in and reclaim possession, any crosses are easy for the defence.
When they attempt to get forward in the central third we focus more on squeezing space than the man in order to not allow them to get any numerical advantage, Oscar and Griezmann narrow to the CMs and CFs drop as the first line of defence to give us a 6 all close together, CFs pressing the deep midfielders, whilst the 4 man midfield make the game compact and plug all the gaps in front of our defence, FBs also narrow to the CBs to make sure that Chelsea’s only option is the wide area. Matic and Kondogbia will look to show their experience with a more disciplined game today, whilst the two wide men are well drilled defensively, when they attack centrally we let them have the ball, engaging them when the moment shows itself, otherwise force them sideways and backwards until we can trap them on the flanks. The FBs are always tight to the CBs when Chelsea have the ball through the middle, insuring that Chelseas forward line can’t play in the channels between defenders, if they try to get round the sides of our CBs, the FBs are there. Benatia man marks the CF, Jones covers his partner, either with quick interceptions or dropping back and stopping flick ons, isolate him.
Despite playing from deeper today we should be more dangerous on the attack than ever, we have a lot of pace going forward to hurt Chelsea with. We look to force them into wide areas off the ball as this will be our main area to attack them, if we can win the ball from their wide men it leaves their flanks exposed with offensive FBs and with us defending the flanks in numbers which allows for greater and faster build up. Here the main aim is to get the two wingers running away, once they are in space they hold this width, we then want the two strikers on a tangent with their movement, when one goes wide the other stays central, when once stays deeper the other looks to run in behind, this means we have 4 players running at their back 3, as we look to attack at a high pace so their midfield can’t regain their shape, the two wingers stretching the game, forcing the CBs to split from each other, once we get into the final third Chelsea have no choice but to try and shut our wingers down, as soon as one CB is out of position, our opposite winger tucks inside and we have a 3 v 2 in and around the box. We change it up, sometimes Costa and Aubameyang going wide and the wingers coming infield as all 4 are capable of playing all across the attack. The key is to play with lots of pace and flair. Plan B is when we win it centrally, we want the front two close to our midfield but once the ball is in our possession they have to be on the move, we want to hit them with a quick ball over their midfield, so Costa must be the big target man, ready for the first ball, with Aubameyang and the wingers making runs off him into space so that with just one ball into Costa we have Chelsea on the back foot and skip any midfield pressing. After Costa’s ball this attack is the same as plan A, two wingers stretching Chelsea and two central players so we always have numbers in the box. The FBs will be allowed to come forward when we have more stable possession in the game, when they do it allows the wingers to go central, allowing Griezmann/Oscar to use space infield. Matic and Kondogbia’s job is to insure we have stability behind the front 4, when the 4 attack, these two move forward as well so that there isn’t a big game between our midfield, with the FBs also keeping in line so if the ball is lost we have 4 players as well as the front 4 to quickly press Chelsea, at least slowing them down, if not winning it back high up the pitch and being clinical. At times Kondogbia can break from his CM role and look to add another body in the box for crosses.
Subs:
If Winning: Garcia for Aubameyang 70’, he goes RM with Oscar AM and we defend with an extra midfielder. Loftus-Cheek for Oscar 80’, will use his power and stamina to come on and slow their midfield right down.
If Drawing: Verratti for Kondogbia 70’, greater creativity. Garcia for Oscar 75’, more of a plan B as he looks to get in the box and create problems with his physicality. Traore for Aubameyang 85’, bit of a surprise package late on.
If Losing: Garcia and Verratti for Matic and Kondogbia 70’, still bring lots of work rate in the midfield but Verratti creates from deep and Garcia has a license to get forward and attack. Traore for Oscar 80’, looks use his flair to unlock Chelsea.

I would've had to lose two of the ones I offered anyway if I was to do a deal, so wouldn't be keeping them.
The difference was Brandt, and was just giving you players in return rather than releasing, given van Persie is still a top class player.

Don't agree on Witsel/Bender personally. And prefer my current midfield to that one, would be too attacking really. Whereas you would be improving your side so would need the extra player to make it up for me.
We'll have to leave it.

Don't know who I can get to replace him, unless you use Berahino?
