Blue-in-me-Veins

without mierles, we have lamps, mikel as only players that can and have played in the double pivot under RDM. and because Mikel and Lamps cant play every game we need to switch to 3 man midfield with lamps being b2b and rambo as a replacement. mikel as dm with romeu the replacement. and then oscar/mata in cam. that way we have 6 total players in midfield 2-dm 2-b2b 2-cam.

it almost like i hope and also dont at same time that oscar fits in the pivot. if he fails there, then a switch to 433 is a must. but if he doesnt fail , rambo will continually be used on the wing. jus gota wait and fucking see.

we simply dont have right personnel to continue playing 4231 gzme after game. Oscar better come though in the double pivot if RDM wants any shot at staying with the 4231. and i'll say it again, the Oscar signing is the ultimate wild card. He succeeds in pivot role RDM will have dodged major bullet, but if not we're in for a change to 433, and mata will be put back to lw.

Now that mierles seems to be headed out, it cant be any more clearer that the 433 is the way to go. stick rambo in midfield, actually use romeu, i hope we see it soon

we all know, if its probslems n the dressing room all the other players will be forced to leave hahaha, wonder where he would go? city? us? psg?

hahahaha, yeah i dont understand how a player playing well can be shunned from the squad. be good to see romeu again, when was last time we saw him??

huge fan of the kdb, and i think he will be immense in midfield in years to come. pair that up with oscar seems deadly.....but for the board to have that mindset, we would buy a moutinho of some sort in jan as a lamps replacement. then the promotion of kdb and mceachran should be essien mierles replacements. i hope it pans out that way, but i just see us buying 2 amazing cms and then putting kdb and mceachran on loan again. truly hope not.

on the fence on this one, he COULD have been good sub and hopefully produce more games like the newcastle one, or we can switch to r433 and finally play the way this team is built and mierles wont be missed asmuch if at all. in the end i think we dont sell, just because of numbers, rdm will want that extra body in midfield. it aint confirmed yet right?

oh no, madrid fans probably having heart attacks. Ronaldo not Happy, wonder why? www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2197375/Cristiano-Ronaldo-feeling-out.html

sigh.... international break is a bitch, goo thing i got my NFL to keep me occuped for the weeks. i think we're all very keen (me included) to see what RDM will do to shake things up. what else will he try as an alternative because i agree the constant shoving of rambo and bertrand in the current formation is not going to help in the long run. If he wants them to play, switch to 433 and put rambo where comfortable and actually give a. cole a rest so you can play bertrand. expect 3pts though, mark hughes hasnt got any of the pieces to gel yet and being he bought 12 players, gona take hell-of-a-long-ass-time before they prove to be 'decent' team.

4mins!, 4 facking mins?! where was the wasted time, been the quickest half i've ever watched!?!? and they score..........................................what'd i say they were gona score, drama style

always gona happen..................................

No you got it all wrong man u wont score,it will be the fluke own goal in extra time that gifts them a point. Hahaha

he missed!!!!!!!!!!!! mwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

gota love what martinez may have started or brendan rodgers,, playing positive football even against the top teams. its nice to get these results every now and then instead of the usual park bus and counter, then if lucky u drew the match. and a penalty!?!? was always going to happen, just fucking always.

dont get too excited guys, man u will go into drama mode and score 2 more goals....but happy for southhampton. also, evra what an over-rated piece of shit he is, dont know how he still has place in the team.

the most wish-washy game yet this season, but i won 3-2. had 9 chances thought it was going to be one of those days but we pulled through. Damn what a season 4 wins out of 4 played, top of the leaugue! also, X-rated stole my team of the month award

*sigh* school starts on thursday for me......

City city city, just gona fuck off . Cuz watching them and lucky asses is just plain annoying

Berezovsky tried to mess with the Roman Empire, oh the shame......

yossi on loan to west ham. Hadnt seen that, got.rid of some deadweight not bad.

well we didnt bring in a cm, we just gota hope oscar can succeed there. wasnt expecting us to sign anyone, just sooo much money already spent this window. essien wasnt going to offer much and hey atleast we know romeu will be given a chance. or if worst comes to wworst RDM will have have to switch to 433.not too upset like other folks on here, cant fix all problems in one window, Rome wasnt built in one day.

yeah i agree when your going through the rebuilding stage gota stick with it and buy young. can't mess it up by worring about present just future. man city just have to fuckin spend dont they?!?! maicon, garcia, rodwell,sinclair and wright the backup gk. and watch only 2 of those players play and rest just rot on the bench.

he better know what the fuck he's doing i agree. You knoow he goes to sell dawson then call him back after kaboul is injured! their gona be best friends i asssum hahaha. but he brings in Lloris and moutinho. lets just hope he isnt too thin though.

fucking hell, totenhbam lose VDV but snatch up moutinho and Lloris. not bad but VDV will prove a major loss. having to sync siguardsson with adebayor and defoe may taake time. carrol to west ham, just proves how hyped he was..
