CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I love how he handled the Tevez question, he didn't upset anyone. Very intelligently put Mr.Boas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ramires and Torres are stronger than people give them credit for.Torres and Ramirez are strong but their game isn't physical. They rely more on speed and movement.Hernandez is strong too but like Torres he is reliant on pace and movementWhere as drogba essien ballack were pure brutes in the box and in THe midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I thought AVB made all the right subs today... Ivanovic for Bosingwa was a bit unexpected since we haven't seen him do it before, but it was a very welcome sub in my eyes and it paid off imo. Many managers are reluctant to change the defensive line, but AVB clearly has the balls to take off weak links no matter which line. As Bolton started whipping in more long balls and looking for fouls, more aerial power was needed.Mikel for Ramires was a change towards more defensive and physical approach. He provided much needed cover, security and physical presence in defence. As we were leading comfortably, one of Ramires or Meireles deserved a rest. A good sub by AVB.Mata was clearly struggling in this physical game and his touches didn't seem to be as good as in previous games, but shit happens, you can't expect him to be class A every single game. He looked tired as well. I really wanted to see Lukaku get a run, but I was pretty sure it was either Mata or Sturridge going to make way, and as game went on, I was 90% it was going to be Mata going off... And I was hoping Anelka would come on instead of Malouda, and it did happen.I think AVB did everything right today in terms of tactics, team selection and substitutions.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The passion for two wheels is something that grew in me. My first bike was a Yamaha XT 350cc, a heavy engine at the start. Then I've had Hondas and KTMs, as well as the trials bikes I've got.Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB couldn't know that Kalou was gonna make that idiotic penalty.2. The sub was made to reinforce our right wing because Valencia was attacking there using Bosingwa's defensive weakness.So in theory, it was a good sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be serious, I'd rather put Ramires on the right wing to reinforce our defence , do Kalou really get some defensive ability ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
