They go hand in hand. Of course if you pick players who cant keep shape, then your tactical plans go right out the window. Which is why i dont understand why Rafa changed from how he was initially setting up Chelsea.

That is just mean.
He's such a good player to have on the bench, too. If you're chasing a game, having Frank 'experienced ultimate midfield goalscorer' Lampard on the bench is absolutely perfect. Start him on the bench, throw him on if you're chasing or already out of sight, play him in cup matches or against teams you're likely to beat, and bob's a close relation to you.
Both of them have better vision than Torres, what's your point?
haha ... That is pretty old now
True, but i've had bad hangover, didn't wake up in time to watch the game and thus i only have cliches to offer today.
That'd be 4,99$.
Time someone stepped up...Full respect for the lad. Team performance was embarassing today.
Anyone who can finish is welcome at Stamford Bridge.
I like how you suggest Lewandowski in hope Chelsea buy him before Fergie buys another striker in the summer!
Now I know that most of you guys are looking at Falcao as the man to replace Torres, and I don't blame you (how could I?). But he'd cost 60m euros and I don't think you'll be paying that much for a player anytime soon. There's also been talk of Schürrle, who is a cracking player, but his preferred position is currently well covered. Finally, there's Lewandowski, who I love as a player but honestly at this moment in time Dortmund are in a better position than Chelsea and they're in no hurry to part with one of their major stars and a player for whom they have no clear replacement. You're probably wondering where I'm going with all this, so I'll just spit it out... What would you think of a move for Mario Gomez? He's been playing second fiddle to Mario Mandzukic and even Pizarro's experience has been preferred at times. While he has stated that he's happy to play from the bench as long as Bayern win the league, there's only so much a player of his caliber would be willing to take.
Not a fan of Gomez. Always struck me as a bit of a flat-track bully, and to be he's not exactly a natural striker. A wonderful finisher, yes, a wonderful striker... not so much. Watching the difference between him and one of the greatest natural strikers of our time, Miroslav Klose, playing in the same team was very interesting. Klose held the ball up well, ran channels tirelessly, opened space for others, and stuck away any half-chances. Gomez only did the latter, and even then with much less regularity than Klose.
Chelsea do need a striker who can score, primarily, but Gomez is too far in that direction. There's very few top-level players on this planet who rely pretty much ONLY on their goalscoring and nothing else. Even KJ Huntelaar, poacher par excellence, drops deep and links play as well as brings others into the game with his aerial ability.
Exactly, Lampard and Ramires in the double pivot was never going to work. Why take out Mikel seriously?
Try telling fellow Chelsea fans who have gone Falcao crazy who have only recognized him for 6 months who all believe we WILL sign him. It's not a case of we will not spend the money it's more a case of we cannot spend that sort of money again especially in January. Like you say Lewandowski or my tip Ba would be better more reachable options. Then again if your Lewandowski you have CL football at Dortmund so he may stay until the summer.
Oh I agree that Gomez is a finisher and that's about it, but Chelsea have been creating quite a few chances per game, they have, however, lacked someone to finish them.

Rumors he was ****** off at the end of last season at the amount of playing time but now he get lots more and is happy. He would fit Chelsea quite well and would excel in the prem
