De Bruyne was never played in midfield until Guardiola at Man City and even then, he is not a deep lying midfielder. He had primarily played on the wings or as the No.10 before then. When was this exactly? Before we sold him in January. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10341933/Juan-Mata-move-and-half-time-tweaks-revive-Jose-Mourinhos-Chelsea-mojo.html Around this time, we were struggling a bit and Mou froze out KDB and Mata, and after Van Ginkel injury https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/25/chelsea-david-luiz-juan-mata Mourinho started playing Luiz in midfield until we got Matic in January. And even then he continued to play Matic and Luiz in mid. Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 t's all ifs and buts, with the benefit of hindsight. De Bruyne was never played in midfield until Guardiola at Man City and even then, he is not a deep lying midfielder. He had primarily played on the wings or as the No.10 before then. I don't know when you started watching KDB, but he played at least 70% of the times at Bremen as a CM or OM.Also,he played 70% of the time CM or OM at Wolfsburg. At Wolfsburg, he also played the Rest of the time as a winger and at Bremen he also played once in a while as a striker. He could have played the same role Cesc played for us easily. I have seen it many times. He played a lot as a midfielder in Germany and I hate Mou for being so stupid not seeing the World class abilities of KDB.I knew that he was the next big Thing in World Football. Fuck Mou.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Exactly, the role Cesc played could easily have been played by KdB and who knows we might have won that league titile that Man City won if we had actually kept KdB that season. In the 2nd half of the season we were struggling for creativity which ultimately cost us the league against the likes of Crystal Palace, West Ham.

The situation was made worse by the fact that we didn't include a buy back clause (IIRC). Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamps should have been benched more than he was in 2013/14 he was damn near 36 The De Bruyne sale with no buy-back was the single biggest fuck-up in the Roman era it fucked us so so hard for the next 10 years or so and also helped make Shitty what they became fuck Mou Johnnyeye, killer1257, Atomiswave and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty much a right forward/striker. That is his best role. In order to fit Salah and Hazard together you need salah to be wc and have a very hard working CF with hard working mid to compensate. Was Salah wc when he was here? Nope.

Fernando 6,585 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Even if we win today, I don't think the back 3 defenders is something we should be playing against the Saints. That formation is good against the bigger teams, but again'st smaller team no need for 5 defenders! NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 So anyone still blind that we need to buy defenders? I have said it over and over again, but you guys let one game blind you. Zouma had an amazing game against Spurs and people want to keep him...... We need CB and LB ASAP. Defense should be priority number one. Sell AC, Zouma, Alonso and Emerson.

Nicco 927 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Starting CHO, Azpi, dropping Alonso, Pulisic. Going with 5 defenders at home, masterclass once again, Jody probably told him to play this formation against Tottenham and now Lampard thinks he will win every match with it.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Dropping Pulisic who has been our best player all season once again need questioning. I don't think Frank has a clue and is trying to keep too many players happy instead of playing the key players in form. kellzfresh, Henrique and OneMoSalah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we got to see the partnership that everyone wanted, Tomori and Rudgier and Emerson. Was not that good. I hope another season does not pass before we spend big buck on this instead of another position. And CHO needs to be send out on a loan.
