First of all, I was talking about the dribbling technique of all our ams except hazard. I consider dribbling to be anything you can do to get past your marker, and leave him for dead/chasing you. willian's s dribbling has no effect. His doesn't leave his marker for dead with his dribbles, unless it's on the counter. The willian you are talking about existed in Shakhtar. The Willian we have now, doesn't get past his marker except it's a counter attack. All I see is some stepovers, then run to the line and cross (notice that the defender is following him by his side all the way, he hasn't actually beat him) or then pass to ivanovic. Navas if you watch him closely is a lively and a far better one on one dribbler than all our ams bar hazard.

None of our ams bar hazard beat the defender unless it's on the counter. This is what I was saying in another thread, we have no proper dribbler on the right wing. We used to have robben and Cole, when we were the best 3 teams in Europe. Schurlle can't beat his man often enough so he ends up shooting from 30yards because he can't get close enough. Willian is a strange one, at first it seems he can do it, then it seems he just does stopovers without actually beating his marker, but since his thread is as divided as Oscar's, then he's actually not good enough on his main ability. Salah is actually a good dribbler but he is easily pushed off the ball and he seems to shoot the ball as hard as my little sister. Even Jésus navas is a far better dribbler than any other am in our team except hazard. Salah/willian/schurlle all dribble by knocking the ball into space and running to get it, but when the bus is parked, only players like hazard, reus, shaqiri, cuadrado, can take on their marker one on one, with the ball close to their feet. We need better dribbler on the right to make my heart not to beat everytime hazard falls on the ground.

People on this forum think that when a team good in possession attack, we should defend with only 5 players so that it doesn't look like we park the bus. The main two differences between that match and last season was 1. our attackers were so poor in passing (willian) so we couldn't build. Mourinho isn't going to teach willian/ramires how to lay simple 5yard passes. 2. mike dean allowed mancity to foul us on the counter without punishing them. Silva, fernadinho, yayatoure, Kompany could have all had two yellow cards if another referee was there. Any foul that stops a clear counter should be a yellow, Willian that was fouled 7times suffered this and was sent off for 2 fouls committed against astonvilla last season

Has schurlle dribbled past one man? He can't pass too, he's more limited than I thought

Gif of tthe goal pls

Ask schurlle why

If he can stop shooting at row z

Terrible, to say he's unlucky is an understatement

Their defenders are so fast, they easily caught up with hazard and Willian everytime, even on one on one situations with them. they also fouled us constantly like you said but that's football.

He's getting much better this season. It was last season that he dribbled towards the throwing line A LOT which was annoying. But he's getting into the box more with his dribbles, watch the Swansea match. Give him time

The hypocrite played the same way against bayern

This

Every time I say that people see me as spoilt but the fact is to be on the same level squad wise with bayern/barca/Madrid we need a hazard level right winger in dribbling, decision making, technique and speed (reus) and we need a fast and powerful CB(I don't know how fast zouma is, I hope he plays tomorrow) .Every time I see hazard marked by 3 players, I imagine what if we had another on the right (Ribery-robben ) No one will dare leave space on the other flank because that side isn't scary enough. Our game would be on another level with two dangerous dribbling wingers on both flanks and fast, powerful CB's to mop up counters.

What I'll give for us to have a right winger on the same level with hazard

Reasonable realistic post. Missed this on this thread

Exactly, their CB's were fast enough to catch our attacks on the counter. That's why they are comfortable attacking for long periods, just see how quickly mangala sprinted to take the ball off costa and kompany off hazard. Terry and cahill will be skinned alive if they faced a hazard and Costa on the counter because they are sloooooowww. So we have to protect the defense so they don't get isolated against a fast attack. Mourinho will fix this in January, I'm sure

Also according to the complainants, mancity parked the bus against bayern away too because it was the same tactics only that hart prevented a 4-0 score.

He had 75% pass completion at some point in the first half

Mourinho is never going to risk losing to a rival away from home to appease everyone, once we begin to accept this, things will become easier to understand. We were poor after we scored and that was largely due to costa being subbed out for Drogba, our attack completely went out. If we went more attacking, mancity would have punished us more than schalke did, except that they have even more clinical strikers. I would get as angry as you guys if we show no attack at HOME not away to the Champions.

Shame this thread is more active when we don't win. Even if it's a point away from home against the Champions
