Chelsea Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-1-3)

Lack of midfield depth is covered. Essien is pure box to box, meireles plays anchor man, lampard gets space and creative freedom.

Mata is in his most comfortable position.. can play inside forward, or attacking winger.

drogba and sturridge are a good attack pair.. sturridge can move in, allowing bosingwa to move up, but meireles falls back to pair with terry in central defence, while ivanovic provides cover for RB..

similar for left back, but cole falls back more.
