Rafa is a 4-2-3-1 man so taking into consideration the squad I'd bet his First XI would be:-
-------------------------Cech--------------------------
--Azpilicueta-------Ivanovic------Cahill-------------Cole--------
-------------------Luiz----------Ramires-----------------------
-------Oscar------------Mata-----------------Hazard-----------
------------------------Torres--------------------------------
Rafa won't play Luiz in defence if he can help it. But I can see Rafa playing him in midfield alongside Ramires.

Wow. That's completely different than what they are playing now. Tactical genius.

You're not even a real journalism
Rafa is obviously manager to get the best out of Torres.
fail all round
Roman is an idiot.

Roman is an idiot.LOL! I love the language used as well, like he's conducting a seance with Rafa Benitez beyond the grave.

Benitez the next manager according to Balague
You're laughing now. I will laugh next summer when Chelsea and Real Madrid will swap managers. Heard it here first.

i have thought for a while that David Luiz would make a good defensive mid, he loves to get on the ball and play and he has good ability, seems like a more natural position for him then centre back.............

Mourinho won't go back to Chelsea. His ego couldn't take it.

No manager has a chance with Torres on the field. It's past time to switch to Sturridge, bring back Lukaku for backup. Or go without a striker. Bringing in Oscar and Hazard is a huge change this year, it's going to take a while to integrate these youngsters into the squad. Win or lose, I've gotten a big kick watching the Mata-Oscar-Hazard line this year, I just hope Benitez lets them play.
A new position for Luiz would be worth a try. The guy is an incredible athlete.

When Chelsea appoint a new manager Fernando Torres will be on an average of 2.75 goals per manager
P.s. what's this talk about Pep being appointed as Chelsea's manager? He wouldn't touch that job with a ten-foot pole.
Besides, those who have followed Pep both as a player and a coach, know he's a stubborn methodical man who sticks to his own principles no matter what.
After the end of last season, he made it clear both himself and through his agent that he will have a sabbatical for at least a year and then think things over. I highly doubt he'll do anything until the summer of 2013, and even then it will probably be ManCity due to its dynamics and intention to put work into the whole organization, not just the first team.
This. I agree too. All those rumors of Pep are rubbish. Just people being caught up in rumors.
