And I feel a bit of a cunt for knocking Dave cause hes always been a fave player abd dependable since he joined. Plus the fact hes given 7 assists so far. (Dont really see why Pedros pass is included as an assist tho) And as Dave could be of good use as a CB OR in the event of new manager and formation. But I cant help but wonder how much difference it would make with 2 stronger, more dynamic FBs I know its a hard thing to say (and probably unfair for him being so strong in previous seasons and may well be again IF the formation/manager is altered) but having 2 attacking FBs would make a big difference for us. Plus add a good strong partner for Rudi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the problem isn't Dave or Alonso, but their subs are not good enough to put any pressure or rotate. We have another major weaknesses in midfield, which is the lack of goals. Kante is doing surprisingly well in that role, but he will never pull a Rakitic (very underrated player despite being a match winner). Scoring, or at least shooting, from midfield can be the difference in tough matches when the attackers aren't getting behind the defense line. We need a long-term striker option, a midfielder who can attack and score (may be RLC but Ross does not seem to be it), wingers (esp with Eden and CHo leaving),and only then an FB upgrade, if available.

Liverpool's 8. Maybe we lack goals from strikers. Subtracting how many penalties tho? Shirley you don't think we have 1 who we could ever say we have to start 'X'! Having a red hot ACM would help us out in so many ways. Not only in G's and A's but as another Jorgi further up the pitch. I just don't see any of our lads doing it and thats sad and infuriating. @Vesper Mrs I've got a project for you. Ive wondered about the teams lack of spark,fight,character,passion,pride and I've wondered IF it could be that our 'foreign' players dont understand our Chelsea history/tradition? Whatever English player you would ask no matter who they were or where from would at least understand what it meant to all of us connected to the club, when they put their shirt on. I stopped believing we should be made to use ANY HG players and that we should be allowed to use any player no matter where from. But I'm wondering slightly IF I was right to think it. It's nothing to do with helping out the England side but its just summet in my head I'm pondering. I know that VERY GOOD HG are few and far between and I dont watch enough other teams to know who/where/why any could be used here So using AN OPEN MIND and thinking along the thoughts I am see if you could come out with a strong CORE of HG's, whether they are PL or what, that we could turn to. Not necessarily one for each position, but a few we could use for awhile with the possibilities of a NEW Old Guard. I dont necessarily think it needs to be English but just playing devils advocate I'd be interested to see what you came up with.

Liverpool's 8. Maybe we lack goals from strikers. Fair enough, but it is one of those stats that can be very misleading. I used Rakitic as an example, who not only is a constant goal threat, but happens to come alive at the toughest matches on the highest stage. Ross and RLC scored some goals at home against some low PL outfit, but when we play the big ones, our midfield tends to be too quiet. Kante is the only real goal threat, and that's not really good enough at this level. Caveat on the development of Ross and esp RLC though.

I come up with 17 goals (BUT one of the 17, RLC's, came as a RW) so 16 total one of them was a pen so 15 from open play or free kicks of those only 9 were league goals that is from all seven MF's (Drinkwater and van Ginkel have not even played in the league) we have had on the roster this season 11 total assists, 10 in the league that is WOEFUL production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only comes into play at a DEEP psychological level if a player is still with their youth club I dont put a whole lot of weight into it anymore Look at CHO for an example that blows even that link out He is probably going to do us hard and he is as local as they come I don't see how a Geordie (for example) would be any more proud to where our crest than a Portuguese of the same age with same time in the EPL Different people are motivated by different things Look at Mertens at Napoli he is full blown Neapolitan culture and pride now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
