Full attack...with no Matic, no Ramires, this could mean Luiz and Lamps in pivot. However, Lamps wont handle running for whole match and I expect Oscar to get in CM spot at some point if we will still need to score. The only other player capable of playing in pivot would be Mikel and there is no chance we could break their defense with Luiz and Mikel in pivot... Iva-Cahill-Terry-Azpi Luiz-Lamps Schurrle-Willian-Hazard Etoo (mentality: attack from first minute)

Aguero to Chelsea? I believe straight exchange for Torres will do it

Sometimes you need to sit on bench and wait for your chances. Same with Lukaku. He isnt world class striker, not mentaly or technicaly ready to lead team with expectations by Mou (winning PL and CL next year). He MUST get a chance, but buying Costa and having Lukaku on bench is useless for Lukaku. He wants to play regulary, he will get maybe 15 games if we do get Costa. Buying Rooney was vital from that aspect last summer. He would be able to play next to Lukaku and is old enough to make way for Lukaku eventualy. Costa is top striker and just 25 and if we pay 40mio for him and things work out, he will be our starter for next 5 years at least. No point of having Lukaku then. If we get Costa, Lukaku will leave. Unless we play two striker formation, but that wont happen anyway. Either we do: 1.) Lukaku main striker next year 2.) buy experienced, top striker, aged 29+ who will play only for two years max and then give place to Lukaku 3.) buy top striker ala Costa who is 25 and will play here for next 5 years and we sell Lukaku.

Gerrard scored 13 goals this season, 10 from penalties. Enough said. Btw do you know Lpool must win vs City? After that city will fall in small crysis, causing another draw. Then we beat the fuck out of Lpool and win the PL. Easier said than done though, but not impossible.

Fuck off PL, FA, refs, Lpool

1.) Hazard 2.) Azpilicueta 3.) Terry

Should stay at Everton for at least another year. Martinez is realy good coach and Barkley plays regular football there. Then we will see... Maybe just buy him and loan him straight back for one/two seasons.

This thread is hilarious You dont know if people realy think Bradley would be superstar here or just trolling...

At same time, we should be bringing young english players, two must be at minimum. Doubt Sturridge, Wilshere, Rooney, Ox will ever get here, we need to pick whats best remaining; Shaw and Lallana/Barkley.

Bridge is History. Memories. Fortress. The new stadium, no matter how nice and big, it wont have same effect.

Im realy liking new adidas boot, white with orange, looks nice in mix with blue kit.

I will say he is worse in rw because he has certain mr Ivan playing behind him. He has to return in middle of pitch to retrievd the ball and has no support from Iva. Should he have more dynamic full back to play with, he would be equaly good on wing. After all he is never realy a winger, but more wide #10. Difference is that he doesnt have same support on wing as he has it in the middle.

He needs to improve on the ball-passes, crosses, maybe even dribbles (already good though), but he is quite world class in defending, marking. Wonderful player

Lpool will lose vs WHU, I have a strange feeling about it.

He is selfish they said...

Im curious what would you prefer more; Luis Suarez (lets just pretend we splash 80mio) and average CM/LB or quality striker, quality CM and quality LB (but none of them world class)? I think we seriously lack a world class player, prefer striker position. ---- Anyway back to reality, there are several people here praising Kovacic. Havent watched him much (maybe game or two last year) is he realy that good? I mean, he probably has potential, but we need starter and could he be the man we need right next to Matic? Is he hard worker? Because I read Mazzari doesnt play him because he wants more reliable (more working and better at defending) midfielders in his team...

As much he is good on left, I want him on right if we get proper LB in summer.

Im ultimately pissed about Ramires. He was the kind of player who never gives up, rises when its most important and gives consistancy. He was never inteligent player, but in his defensive work, he was nearly world class. However he completely lost it after january. He isnt young, he hasnt just arrived here, he doesnt need to adapt, because Mou system should suit him great. He has plenty experience including CL. He was played a lot and might lose some energy, but he was rested. Basicaly same situation as Oscar, but Oscar is still young and adapting, while Ramires is one of more experienced players in this team. Realy dissapointed with him recently, last year he was beast. Also, Im starting to doubt in Mou work with players. Oscar and Willian show very little end product and consistancy. Luiz was much better last year. Dont need to talk bout Mata. Torres or Ba? To me, they were better last year (for their level at least). Ashley Cole lost form. So did Ramires. And Cech. Hazard has become player that Mou expects too much IMO. Azpi, Terry, Cahill generaly impressed. Iva is another who hasnt realy stepped up.

Just curious, was he injured all the time since january? Because he didnt play bad this season, at least as good as Iva and Mou had no real reason to bench him. Azpi and Cole would fit much better against small teams, but again if he was injured he obviously couldnt play... Imo Cole is good enough to be backup at least next season, pairing with younger LB (Shaw?) and teaching him few things. But if he isnt in Mou plans, than no point in having him here... I have feeling if he moves to Rm, he will for some reason become first choice, at least in big games. Thats exactly why we might just keep him for another season. Mou made Cole look like a LB who is not able to play 45min anymore, but I feel he could be useful in big games, even next year. Just remember Lpool game this season, Cole still has ability IMO. Azpi should completely focus on RB next season and Cole would be superb backup to the new LB.

Only Torres (and Lamps for being too old) need to be replaced 100%. LB is not as necessary, Iva isnt the proper back, however its not disaster. I hope Hazard puts his shit together, he tries too hard do things on his own.

Ashely! Glad to see him get few minutes. Btw he probably didnt shave since last game for Chelsea

Did he realy say that his wife will have big impact on his future? If she says that she wants to go to Paris, he will go...

Why not both Costa and Vela With all the possible sales including Luiz and Lukaku who might leave, we will have more than enough money to get four players in summer (LB, CM, ST and possibly AM)

Financialy it was brilliant deal, but Im sure with bad Oscar form atm, Mata would be useful. We won many games last year because of him, he might add something vs small teams. A killer pass would be enough.

If we win stoke 1:0 today, people will go nuts hah
