I'm guessing Mou will field something like this

Courtois

Azpi - Cahill - Terry - Filipe Luis

Ramires - Matic

Schurrle/Willian - Fabregas - Hazard

Costa

He won't abandon the 2 DM system he's been working on since last season.

 

[BenRobbins]

Nope in preseason he has been playing a fabregas-matic two man midfield

You know Mourinho, he'll switch it up depending on the matches. 2 DMs for sure against stronger sides, or a 3 man midfield with Cesc-Matic-Ramires with 3 up front. At home he might play more attacking against stronger sides but away he'll definitely be more defensive, but I think Cesc will always be there. Against the weaker and some mid-table sides I see him playing Cesc-Matic with 3 AMs and Costa up front.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Oscar should be a pretty sure starter or am I wrong? There is probably no attacking midfielder in the world that Mou likes more. Because he works so much in defense.

 

[antonnn]

If we play a formation where we have 3 AMs, Oscar will likely start at the central position, I don't doubt this, especially if he shows form. I think he'll do better with Fabregas in the team.

 

[Egert]

Courtois starts.

 

[Trickykid]

Those passes from Cesc... holy shit.

 

[PaulFCB]

As I said, best player in FCB history and we sold him for garbage!

TWICE!

Sarcasm? Sarcasm.

Sarcasm? Sarcasm.

Still, I think we should've sold him to Arsenal and not to Chelsea.

They tried. He was offered to arsenal, Wenger refused, because he has Ozil.

[Busi-Messi Barca]

Cesc ran the show tonight as you'd expect.

 

[antonnn]

And so the walk to the title begins.

Chelsea's squad is ridiculously good. Great performance by Cesc last night as well.
