Again, I repeat we will run Fernandihno into the ground before this season is done. It's a bit disappointing how much he is being played. He needs to be given a rest. Perhaps not against Chelsea, bit sooner than later at this rate his form will dip, and niggles will follow :(

Gundogan Silva in a 2, Nolito, DeBryune Sterling in a 3 Ahead of them. You fullbacks have to tuck in to play/ pickup Hazard and Pedro. But their real danderman of late has been Victor Moses. His game hasn't improved a great deal but the 343 Seems to suit him to a Tee and he is getting loads of space wide right. Nolito needs to be in his face all day.

Alonzo on the other side isn't as adventurous, So Sterling can help oit on Hazard.

That's how I'd play it.

He will have now 2 games in the next 2 weeks, before the December craziness. I think it's manageable.
 
I wonder if it's aguero who gives way, in a repeat of the barca away leg.

A 4-6-0 where the full backs / wingers double up on and pin back the Chelsea wing backs, depriving them of width and making runs behind their back 3

And combines with a 4 v 3 or 4 v 2 overload in midfield, with the three advanced midfielders (kdb, silva, gundogan) making runs from midfield through the Chelsea back 3 (who would have no fixed target to mark)

Sounds crazy, but pep is known to be crazily inventive.

Chelsea at home is not Barcelona away. Aguero, barring injury, will start

But that wouldn't be inventive as he already invented it, at Barca away.
 
Bravo

Sagna
Stones
Otamendi
Kolarov

Navas
Diniho
Kdb
Silva
Gundogan

Aguero

Barring injuries this would be my team think diniho might be asked to do a simlar job on hazard as he was asked to do on messi. Also wouldnt suprise me if pep put kolarov up against costa. saying that i don't think we should be concentrating on the opposition that much when we play at home!

Might be an idea to keep any eye on them, though ;-)
