I actually know Ross personally i have played football with him so many times and he is average he is not that good. He is big and strong for his age, he is incredibly average technically though. I can not believe he has made it.
I just hope we don't make ourselves look like absolute fools. I would take a 0-0 right now, anyone who has been to the Mestalla like i have will know its by far the most intimidating arena in Europe. I can not see us winning this game and i think the best we will get out of it will be a score draw.
I know what you mean Zolayes, if its Drogba or Obi they will get a rollicking but if its Ashley Cole or John Terry then its fine, i have seen it many times when i have attended live games.
Anyway lets talk about the great first half we have had and the fact that Mata should be playing in the middle between the lines ! Ramires and Mata give us so much, Mata with his passing and intelligence and Ramires with his lung busting performances ! Ramires can easily give us 12 goals a season if we give him a license to consistently charge forward he gives the opposition a problem !
You know what i thought as soon as the red came out ? 3 games banned and his groove will be dismantled by the time he gets back. I think getting Droggers match fitness is paramount now !
We should play with a flat 4-4-2 in this game with Malouda and on the left with Mata on the right. Drogba and Torres up front with Rami and Raul in the middle.
He needs to lose a bit of weight like what Essien was like when he joined, his upper body is too big. His hold up play and his pace is good his touch is awful but what 18 year old is the finished article ?
I don't think we should of agreed to the deal for Romeu, we should of stuck to our guns because he looks fantastic in that holding role. He is not as strong as Mikel but he moves the ball quicker and he reads the game.
I am so happy with watching how well we played, Mata makes such a difference to our side its scary. If we get 1 more creative midfielder i think we will be as unstoppable as the Mourinho side ! We are 1 creative midfielder and 1 Right footed winger away from being unbelievable ! Obi and Rambo will be in midfield for some time with say a Moutinho who will pull the strings with Mata for the runs of Danny and Torres !
Ramires by an absolute country mile he played as a defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder all in one, he kept us in it, he played Torres through he owned Anderson and he just runs into the box and causes problems. All he has to do is improve his short passing and that is it ! Torres was fantastic too !
I would just like to thank Ramires for a being such a monster today he was every were. He cut out the through ball to chico he played Torres in for the miss he bloody worked his socks off. We just need a playmaker around him who can dictate the game.
