A number 8 is in french 'un relayeur' a deep midfielder , the exactly same player than Lampard but more young , Moutinho would be the best choice or Strootman , why ? simply because Frank Lampard is now too old and a bit slow than the previous years , he cant always play and even if he still have his fantastic vision on the pitch , he cant run and tackle everywhere like the Mourinho's Days , and provide the number 10 (Mata or Hazard) a lot of balls in the match , Lampard is an excellent player and my favourite player , but i have to admit that he is not that Frankie that can cover/attack and provide the last passe, maybe i will be wrong in saying that , because Frank has always showed that he is still here , and i really hate this 'hype' of playing the barca way , i'm not a fan of this idea because there is nothing better that the football that wins you title , under Mourinho we never managed to play a beautiful football , but we were winning and no one cares about how , the most important is the result , i prefer a 1-0 than a 3-2 , but its my opinion.
