And before anyone gets angry, this isn't any kneejerk thread or any anger towards any previous matches. Do you think we should keep this formation or change it?, i think we should change it. With our current players we cannot hold a good double pivot. Lampard-Mikel not good enough, that will cause problems. Any other alternate decisions are still not good enough, probably our best one is... Ramires-Mikel, still for me this isn't good enough but probably our best one. Maybe it's time to change to a 4-3-3?. Hazard-Torres-Marin Mata/Oscar-Ramires Mikel Cole-Terry-Luiz-Ivanovic Cech I think we need to change the system and with our current players possibly our best line up there. But i think we definitely need a new DM, and you've heard it before from me i want Tiote. And people disagree and think Mikels good enough, fair enough if that's what you think. But what do you think about 4-2-3-1?, is it wise to keep this formation?, or should we revert to 4-3-3?, or any different formation.

I said two days ago Lampard-Mikel isn't good enough, need a better midfield, Ramires can play there but you need a proper DM, Mikel is garbage, fair play he can pass the ball but a team what plays attacking football he is fucked. Or better said, we are.

He's been good though i think, was murdering the right back and he looks like he should be in a better team what can link up play, some of the runs and quick one twos where great but no one could connect with him. Ivanovic almost did at one point. I'm still worrying about him though.

No, this is top league football we are talking about, his touch isn't that bad, otherwise he would've been struggling at his old club and in the reserves. It's top league football and he will learn.

Gutted we are losing, we shouldn't be, they've lost Ibra, Silva and haven't gotten Robinho or Pato... shouldn't be losing. And to top it off AC are still playing better than us.

Not good...

He will be fine, he's 19 remember, and his technique can improve. I'm glad its his technique what he's weak on besides finishing or movement. Because movement isn't something you just learn, it's usually natural ability, but obviously can be improven, but some are born better than others and that's usually how it works. Finishing is also one of the hardest things for a player to learn, which is why I'm very surprised in Ramires's finishing over the last season, he gotten a lot better compared to how it was before. But i think Lukaku will be fine, working with the team isn't the hardest thing to learn, and his first touch, as long as he can keep the ball with it and pass back to the team first time he will be fine.

Well against MLS allstars he was the only decent one. He made two brilliant crosses, one gotten an assist. The other was even better but didn't end up in the back of the net. But besides that he's been average, but did make great play with Lucas Piazon against PSG and ended up assisting him.

I would be very surprised, but have to see for myself.

Well at least we aren't losing. Seen some quick highlights there, Hazard skinning that right back.

What's the game like?, I've just managed to get in now?. Hows everyone been playing and what's the score lads?.

It's actually shocking how people watch that for entertainment. Not to mention that Mark Wright who hasn't done a days work in his life, talk about rich talentless people. The saying you get where you deserve to be is not true.

Be very nice to get a good victor off this, AC Milan seem to be weak at the moment, but i think we can win this one at least 2-0.

Since when have i ever said Essien was good?, I've been one of the few saying we should sell Essien. Because he is past it, it's time to let the great one go and i've accepted that. Hazard was garbage that match, even at dribbling, just a very bad performance and wasn't pleasant to see at all. Pre season match or not that was a bad performance. But that's not my point, everyone has bad games, my point is that he isn't anything spectacular besides on the ball, and Ryan Davidson might be right about this, i might be being too harsh on him about it, but it's worrying me and that's what i have shared on the thread. I'd also like to say James as you roll your eyes, those quotes have proved nothing. I already said that i would rather have a hard worker like Kalou in the team than Hazard who didn't even try, it got me pissed off, pre season or not you must try for your team, i don't like to see that arrogance. I would have hard workers in the team any day than ones who are arrogant even if they're better, Juventus would agree. But no I'm a troll aren't i.

Like what?

So every opinion I've had different towards everyone else is a knee jerk reaction is it?, im not that stubborn either, I have simply even said to RyanDavidson that fair enough only might be overreacting and wrong about it. But I still stand by what I said. I was angry about the MLS game but I've been wanting to say this for a while

You try to bully people on the forum and make fun of them, also take things way too far. You made fun of Chelsea?, so what If he has trouble writing, he's still a good poster and had a good point. But you made fun of him and didn't even state a reason or give a point, you are probably one of those jerks looking for likes like an annoying Facebook grafter.

Exactly, because I had a different opinion, I'm now the most horrible and most wrong person ever.

Well someone thinks they know who I am.

No he wasn't, he was world class for rest of the season when Matteo came. But dont forget how bad he was under AVB, i remember those weeks when he made a mistake every game and they scored, from spurs to Wigan to Fulham. And the Arsenal 5-3 defeat was his worst performance ever, every shot on target went in... Like seriously I couldve done better in goal. But then Matteo came and he was just amazing, that save against liverpool in the final, the way he played at the nou camp. I must say he's a worthy contender, but he wasnt consistent by any means, not Untill Matteo came but that doesn't count.

I really do not care, otherwise I wouldnt say all this. I hope he does prove me wrong, I wish he will be the best on the world some day.

That's fine, your opinion, you're the only one who hasnt went over the top. I don't think I am I don't find him good enough in the creative department, I don't want a one trick pony. But maybe you're right, who knows, or in Zlatans case who nose.

@Henrique

And I think it's ignorant you didn't ackknowkedge that I said I've watched Lillie games. Why are people thinking I'm saying Hazard is a championship player?, I think he will be a great player but not who we are expecting because he's lacking in some departments.
