Wow today It was so easy for our mid to find hazard against poor wilkinson/willamson one on one. It was too easy. I was confused how easy it was. I mean even I thought ramires was palying well as holding role.

I will watch the first 30 minutes later

I agree that our CB player super game, David luiz played as well as I have seen him play. I think the performance was fine but it was shocking how much space and time our midfield had without any pressure. It was so easy to pass the ball around. I mean everybody know that our team cannot handle pressure, Tony pulis had an awful gameplan. ps: I watched the game starting 10 minutes before halftime

I thought it was obvious that hazard is mom. He is the most dangerous man on the pitch. stoke LB has no clue how to stop him. I have no idea of how people complain that he lose the ball. He is an am, it's his job to take on player. Lampard had a good game, moving the ball well and passing the ball well. Quite shocked how much space and time stoke gives our midfielder

Walter pull a ramos

Man benitez is toying with stole. First I thought he is going to play terry as no 10 then he bring Ferreira

Wow what a strike

Why torres ? I don't understand

He has been playing well today

Not really a penalty but why frank. I want walter to take it

Lampard what an effort. Lol I thought mata score a header against stoke which is impossible

I think we need to realize that most players are overprice in january unless he has a reasonable release clause or out of contract. Buying overprice player can really hurt your team in long run. Obvious example: torres and andy caroll.

Terry is probably the best CB in the world in term of defending penalty box but if you ask him to play high line he has never been good. It was really obvious last year during AVB.

Good post but It is difficult to convince Lampard die hard fans about this. I still believe that Lampard can contribute in limited role but I prefer him to leave. I can see it already, we are not scoring goals then lampard comes in score a penalty and fans will start chanting his name to start every game.

This is interesting because I thought his best position is on the left wing. Tbf I have never watched hazard play for lille before. I agree that he is not a distributor. He is more of a dribbler than a playmaker. But as long as mata is here. I think he will continue to play on the left

Cleverly has started five of last six game but for some game where saf need to boss the game he will play scholes.Let's stop discussing about manu player in lamaprd thread wrong place. Let's comeback to lampard. Like i said I expect us to buy one passing midfielders next season and depend on his type he will play next to ramires or mikel. In some game where we need different type of player can we play lampard of course.

I am not sure this season. I saw him dribble pass player last year and made a cross. Nope cleverly and carrick is the main partnership. Scholes come from the bench most of the time. He is still the best passer in epl. Saf always play him when he want to boss the game.

Not really, if your dribbling skill is very good you can still play without pace, you just need to get the ball closer to the box (just look at iniesta). Btw scholes is bench player right now for manu their main pair is cleverly/carrick. Giggs also don't play all games. Like I said before, I don't mind lampard staying but he cannot be first choice.

Lol if you see it in real time, I think ronaldo bumped him and apologize that's it

He is going to be 35 next season. Giggs has always been technical players. Lampard is not that kind of player. I really believe it is time to move on unless lampard prefer to stay on the bench.

Lol sure, I'll take marcelo/coentrao

I have no problem whether lampard stays or not. For me he has shown that he is a good professional. To play box to box role at the age of 33+ is not easy but you can easily see he has not been consistent since last year. So it really depends on both parties. Does lampard willing to take a backup role ? and of course salary matters

Lampard is 35. I thought it's very obvious why scholes and giggs can still play when they are 35-38. Both of them are technical player in fact scholes will just sit deep and ping the ball from left to right.

Other than you know who. Our signings have been pretty good recently

This. Manu has never been a team who depend on their midfield to score. They have always been a wing based team. They need a runner to accompany scholes/carrick and a 35 years old mid is not the answer.
