  1. I see him more in a three man midfield. I would mean Mata on the right forward. And Lampard on the bench, more a squad player and coming for his scoring abilities when we would change the shape of the team. Cavani, two central midfielders (one more defensive minded, one all-around) and we would have depth on the midfield area unlike this year.
  2. Why Benitez have not decided to make a 3 man midfield in the beginning instead of waiting the second half is ridiculous.
  3. We have changed our shape at half-time to a 4-3-3 Oscar seems designed to harass Matic.
  4. champion's league god seems to be with us. Benfica like Bayern have missed huge chances in this beginning of the match.
  5. Thanks. I guess he must be good at catching the ball on crosses.
  6. 4-3-2-1 Luiz defensive midfielder, Lampard lcm, ramires rcm, Mata rfw, Oscar lfw. Oscar helping Frank in the midfield in defense and Ramires doing the job of two as usual behind Mata
  7. Well, I think Moses has had some small injuries the last few weeks. Against Spurs, when he came in, he didn't make a run at great speed and against Aston Villa, he was awful.
  8. Benitez for me did a good job with him, evolving his game and improving his all-around game. I expect big things from him next year after his first year in a big club. Especially the games where he could play behind the striker and runners on either wing and very solid cm behind him.
  9. What happened to Seb? I don't see him posting anymore on twitter.
  10. I hope Moses is well-fit. As I read that he had also prolems with knocks and small injuries the last weeks. With or Without Hazard, it will be a difficult match anyway, I just hope that Benitez picks the right team not like against Corinthians. Our midfield is what scares me the most. I hope that whoever plays there that they don't go too high too soon as Benfica would be quick to counter us.
  11. You must be joking, he was the workhorse that enable Suarez and Forlan to play at their best.
  12. Excellent, not surprised that Mourinho would want him as he's such a hard-working forward.
  13. And the great thing with the system they play is that they can resell the players playing in the hole a good amount of money. You must be really bad to not shine in this position with the wing-backs, wingers and forward making a lot of runs.
  14. We asked too much of God last year in the champion's league, we have to wait a year to be in his good grace again.
  15. Mancini has an awful record in Europa. His Inter team played some awful football, they won the italian title only because of the brillance of some players. Manchester City has the same problem that the Inter Team he coached, some boring and awful football save by brilliant players.
  16. I disagree. Last year there were games where he was not much involved, like his mind wasn't on the pitch. http://www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-chelsea-fc/2013/05/13/82029-33324847/ I agree more with this article and interview where he said he had more consistency this year (especially in the second half with Benitez in my opinion). For me this year is like his first real year in his career, At Lille he wasn't challenged enough and there wasn't players with experience at the highest level. There are many actions he did succesfully with Mata and Oscar this year that would have failed at Lille because of the shortcomings of some players and Beria and Debuchy were frustrating playing like wingers so high up the pitch to no avail.
  17. He could be on the bench, coming in the last 15 minutes of the match or in overtime.
