Janne HHere is my formation against Birmingham later tonight. This is Di Matteos first game in Chelsea FC manager. I think he will have good impact to our team and play. Like we all know he is our own Legend and he has long history in Chelsea FC. Today i expect to see experienced team agains Birmingham. Di Matteo knows we need experienced players to win this game and that we need start our "new" project right away tonight. We have in this Formation two possible starters in attack. Torres and Drogba are both high profilic strikers and they can play as a target player. Actually i think they both are high profile targets and they are best when playing alone in the top. Like you see i have here 4-1-4-1 and thats cause i like to see how this fits when we have Torres in top. I added Lampard and Meireles in our CM roles cause they can both be effective and creative. Mata and Sturridge are both Wingers in this XI, ive been missing wingers since Robben and J.Cole left us. I want to see these lads to create our play from sides and give more room to our target player and our centermiddfielders to join our attack. We have Essien in top form and like we have seen he has been stunning when going forward and specially when he has been supporting our defensive line in our end. Our defensive line changed a little from last game, i moved Ivanovic to CB role and wanted to see Luiz in WB. I really think that we would have more solid def.line when Luiz would have more freedom to go forward. He have all skills to succeed in rightback role. He is technically amazing, his passing skills are great and most of all he is a natural scorer. In the other end we have suffered many times because he has been too high. Ivanovic is more solid in defensive play and with his right timed runs he can support our attacking play. Most important thing tonight is that we see 100% teamplay in both ends. We need to see our team attacks as a team and most of all DEFENDs as a team. They all have their attackin and defensive duties so there must be a 100% commitment to fulfill those duties.
