Chelsea's best XI in the Last 10 Years

yep, either Ferrer or Dan in for Mario, and Gallas in for Marcel (only on footballing basis, not character)

 
I'm probably alone with my opinion, but I'd rather have Le Saux as the left back.

 
the same here le saux at left back.

And i think Wise was still part of chelsea in 2000....rather see Wise than Essien

and WHY 4-3-3....mostly we play 4-4-2....

 
Mario Melchiot (1999-2004)The athleticism of roaming right-back Melchiot quickly became apparent following the Dutchman's 1999 switch from boyhood club A**x. An injury-ravaged first season ensured intermittent appearances, but Melchiot played his part in a memorable FA Cup final in 2000, in which the west London side defeated Aston Villa due to a sole goal from Roberto Di Matteo. Melchiot was a consistent performer and went on to be first-choice for the right berth of defence for four further seasons. Since then, Chelsea have tried many replacements, such as Paulo Ferreira, William Gallas, Juliano Belletti, midfielders Lassana Diarra and Michael Essien, and also Jose Bosingwa, but not one has left as much of a sustained impression as Mario.

jesus christ!

 
Super Dan at RB, Le Saux at LB, and swap Jimmy with Guddy and it's not too bad. I just don't see Drogba and Jimmy performing well together in a 4.3.3

Scott

 
I assume that's chosen by individual player rather than what team would work best together? Because Hasselbaink and Drogba in the same team will end in tears.

And I'm as big a Melchiot fan as anyone, but bloody hell... I don't think he's as much of a hero as they make out. And over Petrescu? No chance!

 
Wise unlucky to miss out, but he's not got much chance up against the god that is Michael Essien.

Melchiot's the only one I'd disagree with. Desailly definitely deserves his place in my opinion.

As has been said, Hasselbaink and Drogba would probably be a disaster in the same team, but both deserve to be shoehorned in.

On the contrary I would say Essien hasn't shown enough to get in ahead of Wise (which is why I have Wise in my team and Essien on the bench) .

 
Aargh just realised this is a different thread - we have another one dealing with this don't we? I will look it out and merge them.

 
Close call on some, Maka Edges Essien because its his position,and Crespo over Drogs because he was far more clinical and classier.
