Its amazing how Chelsea have fallen apart. Honestly as a die hard united fan, its been a good feeling but one I must say is sad for football. Don’t blame the players or the coaches blame that dumb Russian billionaire that you call an owner. How could you sack Jose, honestly think about it, your first trophy in 50 years, carling cup, FA Cup and then a second premier league title. Come on DUMBramovich. Regarding Drogba and Le Sulk, it could work if you bring back the special one, honestly Chelsea will finish 4th and that is it, Its a shame a big shame. Oh well even the city of Troy had to come down and its because the royal family then was stubborn so i guess we should not be shocked by the demise of CHELSEA.

I have to disagree. I believe they would be good together. Their styles are a perfect match. But I wouldn't play them as a strick 4-4-2. I would have anlkea as a floating cf and Drogs as the target man. Anlkea is no good as a lone striker which he admits himself . He is more of the poacher and needs the space/gaps to operate which teams do not give him when they park the bus etc. Bring in Drogs who is excelent at holding up the ball and drawing defenders. That should provide Anekla the space and runs to operate off.
This extra threat means teams could not afford to sit on Drog in a attempt to close him (or Anlkea) down on the final 3rd pass. Which has been a masive problem for the blues and also provide drogs with a looser defence to muscule through.
They both have egos but Anelka wants this postion (or similar) so should stop the sulk. He disapears when he is put on the wing. Because he dosn't want to play there. I believe if anleka was proving fruitful in thsi role it would cause Droga to lift his game to remain the star blues striker.
I think Scolari also dosn't want to change formation because he knows his defence stragey is shit and dosen't want to lose the extra DM cover.
