Chelsea?

O love Mata. Hope he isn't too upset to even focus with us. That's whyi actually wanted Spain to succeed

most people here haven't watched him much. Before we signed him, he was a winger. After people saw him play against England, he was a number 10. Most people here just go with what they here and claim to know more than they do. In actuality, they just watch Chelsea games and whenever they watch other teams, they don't watch with a critical eye.

Lucas Moura. #7 I believe. LolFrank has been playing so high up the field that I think we should consider: ------Mikel Danny-Mata-Oscar-Hazard -------Torres Lampard to play against harder opponents

what are you talking about, most of the posts here have actually been peaceful. Just because they aren't having an person orgasm over our preseason doesnt mean they are ungrateful of the new signings

I love Hazard when he plays on the wing and attacks defenders! But if we can't criticise him for a bad preseason game, then we can't praise him for a good one. But I can't wait to see him, oscar and Mata play together as it looks like even Marin had a free role against Milan, setting up for our Olympians

Under AVB the way we played in the preseason was similar to the way we played during the season. Hopefully guys like Mata and Oscar will make the difference. But m starting to think we need a goal scorer on the right and Oscar in the double pivot.

I think we have a problem with goal scorers. Danny on the right or Moses might be our best option at this point.

Thank God its preseason, or I would have been worried.

Wanna see Torres and Eden play together, also wanna see Eden on the wing.

I think he was joking, certainly doesn't wareent your rage.

I don't remember a team with so much guys that'd rather pass than score be successful. Even barca usually had Pedro or Villa trying to score along with Messi. Seems only FT9 will be our only goal scorer unless Eden is told to be more goal oriented. But a front line of those 3 for the future is dreamy for me cause I admire Barca style of play so much.

but can we implement it?

exactly, I think the only reaason people are putting Oscar at #10 is because he's the newest signing. I hope RDM is capable of playing all three of these guys.

--Ramirez---------------Mikel --------------Oscar ---------Hazard----Mata --------------Torres Ramirez can drift wide right when on the attack.

Just wanna see him on the wing against Milan.

good thread title though, the wrong title could have ppl calling you a troll, B***, jerk. Etc. I would keep Ferreira and Malouda for their experiwnce, they seem to know they aren't gonna play much anyways. And since Malouda is a popular guy around it seems, he can help Eden in the dressing room; as kakuta, Lukaku and kdb seem loan bound. Can Ferreira speak french?

I think this might be our best game this preseason. At least our best effort and team line up. Also did anyone notice us play a different formation yet? I'd we're working on 2, surely we must try it out in the preseason.

This forum seems more violent recently.

What exactly is modern football compared to non modern?

Ivanovic--Luiz---Terry--Cole ---Ramirez-----Mikel -----------Oscar-------- -----Hazard------Mata -----------Toress-------- Ramirez can provide width on the righ. And if we are struggling we can also insert Marin to give us more width. But we really need more goal scores. Lampard will play until Oscar proves he can handle the role ofcourse

I think we might see our best performance yet this Saturday

yea FFP does seem to allow the rich to spend while the poor stay behind now that I think about it.

I'm actually for FFP but wouldnt a salary cap or A transfer cap be more loophole free?

lol. I think we can work it like Barca worked their mids. Play all three of mata, Oscar and Eden in some games, but play with a true RW in other games.

I meant guys that would rather pass than go through ppl. Mata, Oscar, Hazard are all small guys known for passing.
