Could we play a 442 formation?

Its called a Full Back..
You sit here arguing Chelsea's formation, but the fact is they got that man always going up.
Cole is the missing ''winger'' in your analysis.

Kolarov or Boateng, someone could be very very essential for our play.

People shouldn't start sucking Boatengs dick until he's actually played a league game for us so we can see just how good or otherwise he is. If the world cup is anything to go by, he's not going to be the messiah, but a player learning his trade who's going to make some mistakes.

Agree.

But on the original topic, I guess we could easily play some sorts of 4-4-2 formations, especially against the lesser teams at home.
A very flexible (when we have the possession) midfield of Milner, Barry, Yaya, Silva could work well even against better teams imo.
More traditional 442 with AJ and SWP on the wings though should be good enough to murder the poor teams at home.
