RDM could go with 4-3-3 with Mikel, Lampard and Essien in midfield and deploying Mata and Kalou out wide but that will just negate the strengths of the former and would leave us expose defensively.
True but at the end of the day, he's a striker and we bought him as that. IF he doesn't put the ball into the back of the net regularly, the spotlight will always be on him.
Not buying into that. IF he is really that good, he should be able to work with others and it's not like Villarreal don't have other quality players around him to work with.
Would be very interesting to see how they go about in the transfer window this summer especially with them back in the Champions League. Pretty sure they will be looking to get a 20-25 goalscoring striker. Only Matri has got into double figures in the goalscoring department in Serie A for them this season.
Nah. They'll be in the Europa League and we'll be in the Champions League. Not sure about Nilmar. Has totally gone off the boil this season. He has had his injury problems but failed to recaptured his form of last season since his return to the side.
