special skills are naturally given to you're players, they cant train them, but strength and form can be either trained or will increase by plaing-time on the field...

what went wrong against Manu: #1 Mikel on the bench #2 Bossy instead of Ess RB #3 same old 4-4-2 no 4-1-3-2 or -4-2-1-2-1 or 4-1-2-2-1 #4 Shit attitude #5 Carlo is our Manager...

TBH Kakuta did pretty well in that "hole" position for Fullham for his 40 Minutes he has played and has shown no weakness but it is a bit strange because duffer has a late revival in his career and has scored all his goals after kakutas arriveing whom was expected to take his place in the 1st team kakuta has done nothing wrong for fullham and its natural that huges counts more on duffer if hes fit and going than on Kakuta whos only a loanee anyway... PvA wasn't as good as expected at leicester but Bruma did pretty well tbh... I thought it would be the other way around... and Mou didn't have half as many youngsters he could play and if there was any sign of promise he played them (woods, stoch, sinclair, hutch etc.)... greets...

Right sentence but wrong characters at the end, they shoulc be like WTF IS WRONG WITH ESSIEN?????? sry for writing the letters not quite as big as you did sry but i have to correct you, better interceptor (is this a word that exists?), better passer, better long range pass, better understanding with ramires and lamps... like we've seen against kopenhagen and many games this season before his two games "dip of form"... Keeping things ticking way better, better zonal marking, keeping the ball against three or four players and make the decesive pass, much more organized then essien... sry Essien ist no all round midfielder anymore, even Emenalo has admitted this, in fact he is a pretty bad defensive midfielder, compared to the seasons before and mikel is the better choice for varius reason, but the most outstanding ist, we would be completely overtaken by the ManBuh midfield if Essien starts, he is out of position every single time in the 4-4-2 and he is to offensive minded to play 4-1-3-2, so Mikel suits better in to that role and thats a fact as clear as you want it in my eyes... greetings...

I can't belive ppl still demanding Essien for this game... he was awfull in the last game...

happy b-day mate

good post +1

yapp its his header that hits the crossbar...

@Kostas, well this is true but if you've watched us against Kopenhaben the flat 4-4-2 suits mikel superbly, he and Ramires have a great understanding, he didn't make that much runs forward like Essien, but he was caught out of position about 3 times, while Ess seems to be at the wrong side on the field nearly every time, and the runs mikel made forward against copenhagen have been pretty well I must say, was a bit impressed, we could see his offensive qualitiys against inter mailand last year (probably his best game for us so far) and he has hit the post 7 times alon this season, his shooting isn't as bad as ppl want us to belive, he just hasn't got the luck you need to bang this goals in, 5 cm lower or a bit mor to the right and he would've banged 7 goals in this term... I think Mikel-Lamps and Ramires did the 4-4-2 pretty well against Copenhagen, if he can do this against other teams, why let him rot in the stands? He's not our biggest attacking thread, yes but he is the most balanced midfielder we have and he has by miles the best passing and tchnique in our midfield alongside Ramires...

same talk as ever and for this one thinnking mikel should be sold on 25 Mio, a big LoL :lolwave: but to be serious I'm a bit afraid of this dilemma, cause carlo has shown he has no faith... is Mikel currently better than Ramires = No Lamps? = Yes than Ess? = Yes so he has a point if he really thinks about leaving...

bad start for me lost 4-1, this bastard of an co-trainer is a asshole, will never ever let him do my tactics again

I have to say that bertrand is way ahead of PvA especially ufter his not so impressive start at Leicester. Bertrand for me ist the only successor for ash, he really looks like he can do very good things, sadly the youth has fallen down the peckingorder with so many big-guns available again...

I can fully agree, Ess and Lamps are caught too far up front many many times. the flat-midfield isn't the way to play a modern game but at least carlo has some success with it... Essien seems like he have lost his defensive mind completely and lamps was never a defensive midfielder...

great match missed this kind of performances so much, any updates on mikels injury? thought essien was poor in the first half, as was lampard but both rose into old heights but malouda and anleka have been generally poor, good game from torres Luiz MotM and drogs wonderfull to see him like that... zhirkov should definitly start ahead of malouda in the next game he was looking extremly well...

oh thanks but our fans will never recognise mikel, he was even blamed for the everton game, despite not losing a single battle in midfield... our fans are pathetic...

what is this post about? I'm lost a bit :unsure:

to be honest we play like shit but they're worse... so nothing to cheer about...

anelka bossy and ess ar guaranteed a start according to ancelotti...

if we are all hones bertrand is in fact better than bertrand defensive wise and bombing forward... he looks much much more like ash... pva could be our own gareth bale imho...

godzola calm down and get you're facts right, most passes, most accurate passes, most passes forward as DM, most interceptions of the leage thats what we're talking about for a DEFENSIVE midfielder.... turn off you're troll modus and get real... as you state by you're self, Essien WAS Probably the best defensive minded central midfielder on this planet, but he has lost it, as hard as it sounds... and Ess was one of MY favourites so don't come here and talk about pundits what so ever... Mikel was alongside Cech player of the year for this club get real... two damages of you're crucial ligaments aren't easy its a wonder he's playing... so don't expect him to be the same he was any time... greetings...

sorry guys I will repeat we HAVE a strong midfield but carlo don't knows how to put the right team out there and Kostas Post plus Styles posts are the only one I would put my autograph under any time, absolutly spot on, look Ramires = Speed dynamic stamnia, shooting, good passing and vision Mikel = strong, sublime technique and ball shielding, superb passing great vision, Mc Eachran = superb technique, can skin anybody on his day, wounderfull passing, wounderful vision this for a 4-3-3 and if kakuta develops the right way like what we could see in his first cameo where he was a wounderful player playing in the hole (10) they can easily play the diamond thats it, thats a pretty strong midfield and I belive with this guy we could achieve much more than with : Anelka out of form, Malouda out of form, Lamps out of form, drogs with malaira, so for any point you need we have one sometimes two in midfield strength speed vision passing workrate technique and some shooting (Ramires seems to have developed pretty fast in that area ind seems miles ahead of Ess right now) the only problems we have is our manager and our bench, no players there that can replace them AND and this is a BIG AND our Attack, there is no body moving up there, creating nothing and dont do any clever runs, hope torres can put that right... I'm playing football and watching football for 14 years now and playing in the midfield I can tell you, you can be as good as you want to be but if that guys in front of you dont make themselves available, dont run into you're passes, dont have any clue where they have to go and where you will pass to, you will look like a clueless wanker... I'll got as far as this, put Mikel and Josh in that Barcelona team plus ramires , they will be known as the best midfielders on this planet in a very short period of time lets say two further years... oh and for that ones complaining about ou're midfields lack of technique and vision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxdbUXeS37g&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf56xfUoLdA&feature=related
