Agreed. I'd put shit teams out in the mickey mouse cup too. Completely pointless competition. That could have been a game where the likes of Josh etc got 90 mins big game experience under their belts.
Imagine if Lamps,Benayoun,Zhirkov etc had been fit all season then. How many minutes on the pitch would the likes of Sturridge and Kakuta have gotten? Even less than now. I agree,disgraceful and no forward planning at all.
I hear ya. If only Carlo could see that a change in formation and personnel once in a while can do the world of good. A 442 would give us 2 strikers up front for a start. Rather than Drogs looking the lonely figure. Then when Josh plays for a game and does better than those around him he gets dropped. The poor performers never get dropped.
The trouble is who can you get in January? I think our squad is strong enough,if only carlo would play Kakuta and Sturridge a bit more often.We have Terry,Alex,Ivan and Bruma as Centre backs. So I think we are well covered there. Unless we get major injuries there I can't see the point in signing a defender. I'd happily sign any right back if it meant the end of Ferreira but I do think Bosingwa is good enough. Kalou has hardly ever played in his preferred position,he's young,fast,can score goals,happy to be a squad player,so getting rid wouldn't make sense.
No,we don't need players in January I meant. In the summer however we do have to look at the age of the said players I mentioned and look at the underperformers. Don't give up on Kalou just yet. The only true shit players in our team are Ferreira,Turnbull and Hilario.
Drogba just needs either a good slap or an arm round his houlder to tell him how great he is. One more thing, a partner up front supporting him and 2 wide players putting crosses in.
I agree with them. But for now we don't need anybody. We will need a new manager if this continues and Carlo doesn't wake up and realise that he's not at Milan any more where 5th place was acceptable. In the summer,We'll have Drogs,Anelka,Lamps,Ferreira all coming to the end of their careers agewise.Even with the injuries we've had we've still got enough to cope. Kalou needs to be pushed up front alongside Drogs,rather than out wide. We need a decent back up keeper in the summer and just prey for now Cech doen't get injured. Ferreira has aways been shite,I would have got rid years ago.
We have. ...............................Drogba..............Anelka................................ ...............................Sturridge...........Kalou.................................. Malouda..............Lampard.............Mikel..................Benayoun Zhirkov.................Mceachran.........Ramires............Essien .......................................................................................Kakuta Cole.....................Terry....................Alex.....................Bosingwa Van Aanholt.........Bruma................Ivanovic...............Ferreira ............................................Cech................................................. ............................................Hilario/Turnbull.............................. We don't need anybody. Just a change to 442,if Carlo would just wake up and realise. .
We just need a change of formation. For gods sake why can't Carlo see this 433 garbage has run it's course. We've been found out. Timeto change now. We have no width ,no attackers,get out played in midfield etc.
