Brilliant analysis by Jamie Carragher on monday night special on how Chelsea set up under Maresca and how we caused Liverpool problems home and away. Well worth a watch on how the side transitions from 4-4-2 to 3-4 (box) -3 with Enzo and Palmer as the 10's. The players are starting to really gel and understand the system hence the strong performances. As fans we often don't really understand the tactics and Jamie explains it really well.

RBD, thanks for the heads up and I will certainly try and track it down even though I can’t stand Carragher.
I have been very critical of EM’s lack of tactical flexibility particularly the so called inverted FB system. Hopefully this will show that EM is showing some variation to his tactics.

He also explained how Maresca is adapting his tactics and in particular how we went long from the back against Liverpool in contrast to playing out. I think it helps Sanchez for sure.

RBD, I will probably put a curse on him now but Sanchez has been ok in the last few games and made two fantastic saves against the toffees.

Totally agree Tom. I think he helps having a settled defence and I'm quite liking the Colwill and Trev partnership.

Trev definitely deserves to stay but I can't see it happening.
