going with Mata out of the three nominees, has had a great impact this season and contributed a lot. my personally choice would be David Luiz otherwise, MoM a good amount of times for me. since Cahill's arrival he hasn't been as irreplaceable as Mata though then again what could he have done? Mata shines when we're in possession going forward, wasn't gonna be much of that against Barca. tactical mistake by RdM in my opinion to play him
but but but.. I thought Cavani was the world's greatest striker? don't believe we will spend £40M+ on a single players seeing since we'll need to buy at least 3-4 in the summer anyway, feels pointless doing transfer speculations before the season is over
OUT: Malouda, Essien, Drogba, Lampard, Mikel, Meireles, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Kalou, Turnbull, Sturridge, Hilário, Torres IN: can't be bothered but no one from napoli or asia
must take the positives from this game if they win their next one as well hopefully they'll go in to next season somewhat confident and not make too many changes to their squad (doubt they can afford it anyway?) oh and KKK
am I one of few who actually cared about this game or are you guys just rationalising? HATE to see us lose against scumpool, no matter the importance of the game
Looking at our squad, one must ask the question... is it better than the 6th best in the league? I don't think it is to be honest On our day and assuming everyone's fit I believe we probably have the best back four in the league (City giving us a run..) but Ivan definitely need someone better to compete for that RB spot other than that...certain players shine bright like the sky.. but as units our attack and midfield has been found out and exposed over the season no doubt about it disappointed yes but very proud of a few select performances this season, of course it would turn out to be a great one were we to win the CL looking forward to the summer and what it might bring
I can imagine not too many quality keepers are keen on being 2nd or 3rd choice and playing twice a year but really with the type of wages at our club you would think we'd be able to have someone at least halfway decent as an alternative
maybe this was meant to be look on the bright side, half our squad's been found out tonight hopefully Roman will take notice and instead of selling 2 or 3 players in the summer we can get rid of 10
if you're able to tell beforehand which games we'll play like shit in then you know something's definitely wrong with the team, and I'm not talking about 2nd string lineup too many players without a desire to win
