I'd love to see Luiz in midfield with Ramires. He's confidence should be sky high and he's looked sharp going forward lately. Back line with Azpi, Iva, and Terry should be more than adequate.
I just hate seeing our players wearing these skin tight shirts. You always see them constantly adjusting them and trying to stretch them out. Also make certain players like Mata and Hazard look strange. Makes Mata look like he's got a gut.
While I agree with your point, just look what happens when either of Mata or Hazard aren't playing. I hate to say this, but we look almost midtable, Liverpool-esque when Mata doesn't start.This is why I'm not against going after a Isco or a MUCH less likely Gotze. Not a priority obviously.
Guess I should know by now that sarcasm isn't as easily detectable over teh internetz.I've been one of KdB's biggest fans and advocates of him being a regular for us next season. I don't want him sold or loaned again.
This has "lifeless 0-0 draw" written all over it. I'm in agreement with those saying that we should try Ba and Torres from the start. Torres looks really up for it recently and I doubt we'll need too much in the middle to contain Fulham. It can't hurt. We need to actually start out fast for once and put it away early.
Gulf in class is depressing. Position for position our players are as talented or better than theirs, but they actually play like a well oiled machine whilst we looks like disjointed mess.
Absolute mirror of the last game against City. Dominated in possession, give the ball away instantly, and Hazard has had about 2 touches. Getting outclassed.
Hope it's not like our last matchup. City dominated us from the start and it wasn't for quite a while that we got into our groove. We could barely keep the ball for longer than a few seconds at times in the first half and couldn't string multiple passes together to save our lives. Zabaleta, Yaya, Silva, and Tevez always seem to own us.
