Five at the back works for Chelsea because they play against technically good footballers and the extra man at the back is an asset. Fuck going five at the back in the SPFL, utter mongo suggestion.

Even then, Chelsea are rarely playing with five at the back due to their wing backs operating more as midfielders/wingers. The wing backs need to have the pace to get back and support the defence; Wallace's legs aren't what they were a few years ago, and Tav tends to chase after the ball rather than get back into position - can't see that working with the present options we have for the wing back roles. 

Just look at the named suggested for wing back too - all but three of them are attacking midfielders that the writer has decided can just be redeployed. Moses surprised me at how well he adapted to the role for Chelsea last season, yet his glaring weaknesses were the defensive side of things. But just because Moses was able to adapt to the role doesn't mean than Windass would be able to; it's not as simple as Football Manager's 'retrain position' option.
