Well said! AVB needs to realise the weakness in midfield, which is clearly Meireles at the moment! I say this time and time again on this forum, that using him and Ramires in the same midfield just doesn't work, because they are too much of the same player.. if you add Malouda to that midfield, you have something completely lifeless! Essien or Romeu would have been a much better choice to put in the midfield, because at least by doing that, you're adding some defensive nout protecting the back four.. Essien is bulky, so he can deal with the tackles.. while Romeu can have very very good days when he plays as a DM... the boy can tackle! Meireles and Ramires however, there just isn't enough defensive capabilities in either of them, and I know Ramires is supposed to be a box-to-box player, which means he tackles, and gets forward.. but sometimes, you need someone like Essien to help Ramires out. It's players like Essien and Ramires who are energetic and can get things started. Meireles just has no motivation whatsoever.. it's just so tiresome watching him!!
