Five Things the new Chelsea boss must do

What has the new boss really got to do?

With the arrival of Guus Hiddink imminent, here is what the former Chelsea boss has to do at Stamford Bridge to ensure success.

1. Defensive stability

Jose Mourinho changed the back-four to much dropping and recalling players all the time.

The injury of Courtois at the start of the season didn’t help matters. Talismanic skipper John Terry was substituted for the first time ever by Mourinho at the start of the season. Critics have called for leaders in the team and Jose takes the leader out! John Terry should always be starting unless he’s out of form or injured, his experience is crucial at guiding his fellows players through the storms ahead.

Ivanovic and Cahill have also been subject to changes being left out and then brought in. The new boss will have to find some continuity and start the same back line.

2. Sort out Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard set the Premier League alight last season and was being compared to the likes of Ronaldo and Messi.

This season the winger is a shadow of his former self. Out of form and out of favor by Mourinho, as the manager stated no player is bigger than the club. Hazard rediscovering his form will be vital  for Chelsea to stay up and climb the table.

3. Avoid Relegation

You may laugh at this point, but Chelsea are at the wrong end of the table.

The new manager will have to motivate and gear the players up for dog fight. With one of the best squads in the country, is it possible the Champions could get relegated?

4. Change the Formation

Chelsea need find another formation, the 4-2-3-1 is not working.

Why not go back to basics with a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Chelsea shouldn’t be under fire by newly promoted teams at home.

5. Focus on the Champions League

The only way to qualify for next year’s Champions League next season is to actually win it this year.

A tough draw awaits in the next round against PSG, however it is winnable.
