You see? Good things happen Rafa when you promote youth

First off, NO FORWARD will be good for us unless we make drastic changes to either A, our formation, or B, get quality deep lying midfielders to lead transition if we must continue the 4231. I tell you, it is a joy to watch Lampard/Mikel/Ramires pass side to side, not finding space to retrieve a pass and constantly going out of position. Not passing from deep to find a teammate or just to create a pin point pass to the attack or to lead a counter for that matter. No one to hold possession and to create a rythm for the team to hold momentum which would actually benefit our attackers and create more chances. Its brilliant. An absolute blast to watch.

Fucking unbelievable

No where near similar in their roles. Mikel would offer alot more with a proper holding midfielder next to him, or in a fucking 4-3-3 for that matter.

His first contributions last night had me laughing tbh

The Barca forums are pure comedy gold. Acting as if they are in a worse position than we are.

Because doing that, would actually give experience and help the senior players, and the problem with that, is that would actually benefit the club, and obviously Rafa isn't going with that.

This has draw written all over it

That would be beautiful but we would be getting rid of them so unceremoniously

Are we seriously comparing Bale to Mata?

I would absolutely love Moyes Key word - LOVE

Lampard's successor? They are rarely alike. Or is it about the character figure and importance to the side?

Anything that comes out of his mouth is a bad idea other than the words, 'debo que dejar'

That's something I don't understand as well, it isn't the end of the world if we manage outside the top 4, rather a step forward in transition, (given the right management that is,) to focus on the new spine and generation that is currently being developed. Liverpool failed to do so due to failing to replace class players at the time. Torres (LAWL) for Carroll (Double Lawl), Alonso and Macherano for Henderson and John Joe Shevely, Aurelio for Enrique, Hypia for Skrtel, etc. We have a bright generation of players with us as well as promising prospects in the academy, something Liverpool didn't have. As only place to be stated, Bayern were in a similar situation and produced top talents because of it. Our board has successfully managed to focus on this aspect but has completely abandoned our current situation which has led us to this decline, stability+attacking Depth+Quality Central Midfielder The Vast Possibilities of our Great Future Will Become Realities only if We make Ourselves responsible for that future.

----------Lukaku----------- Hazard--------------Mata --De Bryune---Oscar ---------Chalobah-------- Think it would properly work given the right management and time. De Bryune and Oscar's game reading and tackling provides a great help in defense as well. Only problem is that we need consistent, reliable, and strong centre backs, and unfortunately, we currently don't have any that have all 3 categories.

Like this current squad has the ambition to do that

Like I said, under Rafa, this club has zero ambition

Wow

Henderson and Downing are World Clazzzx

He looks sobfucking stupid in Fifa

Let's see if we can even get past boro before making assumptions, the mother of all fuck ups

Anyone notice we all started slipping away from the title 2 seasons ago when we for rid of Wilkins?

Hazard showed moments of brilliance, but just moments. Easily our best player on the pitch along side Cahill

His mental and physical fatigue gets the best of him. Instead of fucking resting him he plays the entire 90 against Sparta
