One thing that intrigues me about the inevitable arrival of conte is the likely use of wingbacks. While I think this role would fit players such as baba and cuadrado very nicely, I think on the whole our usual guys wouldn't do great in that role. Dave would be forced to play on the right as he isn't capable of providing the width that role requires from the left (I'd actually be interested to see if he could play as a centrehalf in a back 3). This role would suit Kennedy better than as a traditional fullback but I still don't view it as a fantastic fit. I'm not sure Pedro is good enough defensively to perform this position. I do think this would be a really good role for Willian as despite his improved numbers this season, the majority have come from set pieces. I'm really excited for Ake's reintroduction but I'm not sure he has the make-up speed to thrive in this role (same fear about Dave) . Overall I'm very intrigued about the possible change as it's something very unique but I'm not sure how suitable it is to our best players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Assuming it's a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 of course? Conte is brighter than that, if he feels we don't have the players to play that system he won't. I actually expect him to switch between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3, possibly during a match as well. Exciting times ahead I hope.

Yes, G8 that would be the assumption. I think a 433 suits is far more than any other system but especially in the midfield. Matic would have the protection of an additional runner in front of him. Fabregas' lack of mobility wouldn't be as exposed. Our defense would be better protected and overall it would suit players better in addition to not having to learn a new system. Up front I really don't think it's that different but our forwards would be more focused on eatablishing a press and would also have another midfielder behind them to make it less vital for them to get back. Overall with our current players I'm not sure why we aren't playing that system.

I agree with you t. k, we should be playing 4-3-3 this season, our number 10 (position) doesn't contribute enough goals so leaving the 3 to press high with 3 behind is surely worth trying? Would help integrate Ruben as well. Let's hope Guus reads these pages LOL.

Conte will play 4-3-3 lads. He did it at Juve and only changed to 3-5-2 because they had solid centre backs and players that suited a wing back position. I would quite like to see 2 forwards next season!

I have always liked 2 strikers Nick so maybe an old fashioned 4-4-2 with 2 banks of 4. Second striker to drop back in when out of possession?

Yes G8 we were ao dangerous with drogba and anelka up top.

If Conte becomes new Chelsea manager and it seems he will. You have to be aware that he always plays formation with two strikers. None of his teams played 433 or 4231 or 4321. So, we can expect new strikers coming.

27 Mar 2016 14:55:24
Interesting, actually he played 343 against Spain, but with two central forwards Eder and Pelle. Candreva was 3rd striker and he is right midfielder.

I'd love to see us playing with 3 attackers as our current wingers (other than Willian) haven't done much this season, especially on the left, so playing as more attacking players will be good for hazard and willian.
