i would think that Ballack is a great link up midfielder for
Chelsea just need to give him some time to get use to English
style, but the main problem is how to fit them all into a 11 man
team, they have far too many similar players, their strikers,
central midfielders are all playing almost similar football making
things difficult when playing gets tough cause their strength and
weakness will be very similar hence making changing of play during
game to cope with a good teams like Baca, Milan etc, difficult
unless they do a sub, which again will limite their changes once
their sub can't do what was asked of them, however with Jose M. i
would like to believe that he is one of the very few that can
make/force them to mould into a team but of course provided he
hasn't get dump by RA before that happens...
