When things look the bleakest that's when we play our best. You have to give Jose a pat on the back for coming up with a great plan and the players executing it perfectly. Way to go Blues. KTBFFH
Yeah, it's ridiculous how because Rambo hasn't really played well recently that suddenly people are suddenly advocating Luiz over Ramires in midfield.Matic, Lampard, Ramires and Mikel are better midfielders than Luiz in my book.
Lamps can still help the club, he just needs someone that can draw out his strengths, like Modric possibly could. Mikel and Ramires are both fine players but their games don't mesh with Frank very well.
Your absolutely right, it is a constant trend and mainly a problem with the english set up. Players will be top class at youth level, spend the first season of reserves on fire and then it is like they don't know what to do with them, they don't get enough games, the loan system is 50/50 with how much benefit it can give. Only Fergie manages to get his players in good teams and played no matter what their performances are like, Wellbeck at Sunderland last year is a good example. So many players with huge potential see that potential dwindle due to lack of appropriate development between the ages of 18 and 20. Kakuta is another example of that. We need to be braver with our young players, they are never going to come into the CFC starting 11 and dominate a game, could McEachran do anymore to show how he is no where near out place in the first team and has a lot to offer, but still he is overlooked. Either clubs should be allowed to play reserves teams in league football like spain or there needs to be a full U21's league set up with an appropriate number of games played to mirror the first team.
