I seem to remember Mourinho not playing with offensive fullbacks at Chelsea initially, I could be wrong, but he did play with Duff and Robben out wide.
So could 4-1-4-1 (morphing into 4-3-3 when required)work for us
Hart
Richards Kompany lescott Clichy
de Jong
Milner Yaya Silva AJ
Mario
I selected Mario in the Drogba role as he seems more similar to the Ivorian than Kun or Edin.
The choice of de Jong is open to debate. Barry could play there.
We would be solid at the back so only need one defensive minded midfielder. The rest given licence to attack, with AJ getting plenty of crosses in from the left.
