Azul

I hope he becomes even better under Mourinho in the coming months. I really hope that he will be the right winger we were looking for. Hazard-Willian-Moses could prove to be an awesome trio.

Tibo Ivanovic-Zouma-Terry-Azpi Matic-Fabregas Willian-Falcao-Costa-Hazard I want to see this formation.

Courtois or Neuer?!

Lol we do not want to win

Your stupidi...... ah no comment.

I'm talking about this match you defensive tard. It's a pre-season FRIENDLY. What can we attain from this match by sitting back?! I've supported us throughout the whole 14/15 season. And yeah we will play with the same tactic against City 1 million percent we will.

I'm expecting a season with this kind of performances. Boring as hell, entertain your fans ffs, I'm staying up so late for this lol

Can we only park the bus against the big teams? Sigh, it's only pre-season but it's still frustrating.

AC Milan perhaps?

Lol hahaha

We've had him for three seasons. He should go ASAP while clubs are still interested in him.

Lol Gilvorak why are you such a fan of Oscar? What has he done in these past few years that was really important? The guy is not good enough, he is too inconsistent and even when he's inform I'm still not impressed with him.

Guys please stop updating this thread we will not sign this guy period.

If he chose Icardi then Bamfords career would have been over. Falcao is nearing the end to his football career which leaves Bamford room to grow in order to overtake Falcao in 3 years or so.

First of we already concede goals even if we play with 3 midfielders, having 2 strikers can assure us the first goal which is vital. It's true that City have problems because of the 4-4-2, why? it's because they do not adapt. They keep using the same formation over and over again. Even when they play against us or against any other top 4 and that's their mistake. I suggested the 4-4-2 only for when we face midtable clubs and that's the difference. As for our defensive duties it has been our downfall for so many games this season. We failed against PSG, Spurs, Newcastle etc because we lacked in offense and also because we relied too much on our defense. If you want you can look back at our game vs Newcastle for example we backed off too many times and that's why we conceded 2 goals. The reason why we usually play better in the 2nd half is because we play offensively. That's also why we usually concede the first goal and then we get motivated to win the game or we draw. 4-4-2 provides us with pure attacking force but also with balance against the lesser sides. Look at how Fergie has done with that formation or Arrigo Sacchi. Falcao is not worldclass atm and thats not what I meant but I said that when he's inform he truly is worldclass. We also have already won the PL so we don't have the pressure we had last season so this tactic could prove to be great imo.

How did City manage to score so many goals in the 13-14 season then? Don't underestimate the 4-4-2 formation. We have Nemanja and Cesc in midfield, these 2 have played together everytime last season. It's not like Ramires offered a lot in defense last season. He was horrible when we played the 4-3-3, Cesc didn't play too good either. Oscar offers no creativity whatsoever, Cuadrado does not look like Chelsea quality. You overestimate midtable clubs and underestimate what 2 strikers of worldclass level can do upfront.

Yeah probably but we would stomp midtable teams with that line-up.

If he takes a paycut then I have no problem with this signing. If he can find his form then this would be the signing of the season for sure, 4-4-2 with him and Costa upfront would be a force.

Jetro is not ready trust me. He does have potential though.

Alderweireld is not a full back at all. He is exactly like Vertonghen not better and not worse, he is a centreback that plays as a fullback for some games. I hope that we do not get him Zouma is waaaaaaay better and we have many more options for the fullback area. For example Jose Gaya, Rodriguez, Clyne etc.

It's very unlikely that these reports are true but what if it is? Who can replace him? Harry Kane?

We should make a deal that includes a loan with option to buy. If he plays good then we will buy him for the proposed money we already agreed with Monaco if not we will not buy him.

Too much money for him

"Sky sports" serious

Mou talks to him on the phone and that will be enough lol
