  1. He looks really happy to have joined. was fast in doing this too.
  2. Agreed but you never know until we've given him a chance as the attack minded midfielder in our squad . If people are ready to take a risk then we can have him adapt into that kind of a role that Lampard has played in the past three games .
  3. Training's over for the day I think. He'll meet up tomorrow.
  4. Can't wait to see him play. I have the feeling he could emulate Duffy on the wings like how it was during Jose's first reign. Exciting times. :blue scalf:
  5. don't jinx it. if we lose, blame's on your preview.
  6. I'll pass. will be a busy month for me with school starting.
  7. Their new manager has just been appointed in 2013, after consulting to Emenalo. But the assistant manager has been there since 2009 or 10 I believe, Albert Capellas Herms . He's the one who's the master-mind behind Vitesse's philosophy. Their holding midfielders play high-up the field. van Ginkel used to partner with either Propper or Janssen. They don't have Chelsea's system of having one midfielder pushing up and one holding. When Vitesse employed it in between games, Ginkel used to hold and cover for Kalas or Leerdam and Aanholt while Janssen went forward . His 12 goals have come from moments where he is up the pitch alongside a midfielder. Vitesse never played a high line, so with someone as intelligent as Ginkel or Propper, the distance could be covered quickly. That doesn't necessarily mean that he attacks a lot. he prefers to defend, and distribute the play.
  8. Goals are nothing. He makes very few forward appearances. Even the goals he has scored are dodgy ones. People compare him to Lampard cause they think he makes late runs. However he makes very very few of them.
  9. Mostly out - http://www.sportskeeda.com/2013/08/28/bastian-schweinsteiger-a-doubt-for-uefa-super-cup-against-chelsea/

  11. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8893241/ I have a feeling he'll start against Bayern.
  12. Pity everyone's being so harsh in him. he started 3 games in such a small span of time. That's the problem, not that he's a bad player. People cried when he wouldn't get a contract and are now crying when he's playing. There is no pleasing for some of us. Only talk about taking up Ginkel, if you've seen him play at Vitesse. He's more of a holding player, rarely gets forward. In the Ramires-Lampard partnership, Ramires is the one who holds. Who in their right mind would put two holding midfielders together when one needs to get forward? No point in converting Ramires into an attack-minded one, he's doing brilliant at distributing the playing and controlling the midfield.
  13. Ribery, Lahm, and Thiago are also carrying small injuries. Just to note though, in 2012, even Chelsea had vital players out due to suspensions and so on.
  14. I'm 110% convinced , that we're secretly training Mata to be a goalkeeper and will field an entire starting 11 of just attacking midfielders. Total Football taken to a whole new level.
  15. I actually did intend to do on the second half, but couldn't create time. It was basically down just a little bit to fatigue. Firstly our pressing was out of place. We just couldn't do it without leaving loads of space for Hull to exploit. Luckily for us they weren't good enough to do so. You could call it kind of the same, except the pivot area, where our players even though weren't performing really well, they were disciplined. but only base it on this game and not the others.
  16. Surprising after he sold RVP to his main rivals. :/
  17. Hmm yeah I did have a feeling that they changed. I wasn't sure about it though. But they still had their high pressing, unlike Jupp's containment. Plus usually, the striker and Thiago or Gotze (cause Kroos didn't start) would pressurise the midfield separately, that didn't happen either. I would go 50-50 on them being able to completely revert back to the tactics they employed last season.
  18. Ah, ego. I have nothing to say then. keep your opinion, it's cool.
