Chelsea don’t have a tactical Plan B? Think again.
There have been a lot of complaints about Chelsea not having a Plan B and these people have gone on to criticize Di Matteo. Trust me, if there's one part of Di Matteo that cannot be blamed, then it is his well thought and creative tactics.
As everyone knows Chelsea operates a 4-2-3-1. Did you know Chelsea also has a viable alternative of 4-2-2-2, or otherwise known as plan B. Yes it can be called 4-4-2 but the 2 wide players are not very defense minded.
This is Chelsea's movement for the entire season but we can clearly see some important mistakes made by the players -
In this frame, Luiz has the ball. Cahill is gesturing for a pass. Azpilicueta has made a run down the right-flank , to provide extra width. Romeu is moving forward as he see's Hazard come back and Mikel is returning from the left-flank. Luiz is at the moment looking for a proper pass.
