Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If you want things to get weirder...I've noticed that he also jogs on the pitch with his thumbs up.. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 All this stuff is very good ,but strangely the thing that I noticed most was 200 + goals,loads of trophies and a superb footballer . yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Make no mistake Lamps is going nowhere and will be with us next season and rightly so ,great from Jose yesterday when he said Frank will be good for at LEAST another two seasons ,however I do agree that we need another quality midfielder in our squad ,another point was Jose does not talk about holding midfield players but his two midfield players,these two need to be box to box and have very good stamina and work together pressing and recovering their positions,we do not have a sitting holder in our team anymore,the role is redundant.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I don't think that role is redundant, see how strong Brazil looked defensively in the Confeds Cup with Luiz Gustavo sitting there and at times playing like a third centre half. That means you can interchange a formation during a match, as in, going three at the back and utilising the full backs as attacking wing backs, and when you have the lead, you revert back to four at the back in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Bayern used something similar last season and Pep is optimising that now as well. Like you say, we need two capable box-to-box players who are sound both offensively and defensively, that's what we have been lacking, especially against the stronger sides.

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I was referring to Chelsea not Brazil ,Jose spoke about his two midfielders not a holder and a runner or two holders ,he spoke about his two midfielders not sure what Brazil has to do with Chelsea's formation? I dont see us playing with a third centre half in the near future under Jose judging by his comments where he spoke about his two midfielders and how he saw Lampard as very much part of his short and long term plans .

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 My bad, that Brazil side I spoke of does not serve as a reference as they play in a completely different sport, don't they...We just used three centre halves in our last game against Norwich. But that's not what I said, I said we need a box to box player who can also perform that function if or when we need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ivanovich becomes part of any three at the back for us ,not our two midfileders as happened at Norwich ,Brazil are nothing to do with our formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Of course they do Phil, they play 4-2-3-1 just like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 We will not be employing a sitting midfielder who doubles up as a centre back aka Brazil ,we have two midfielders do you not listen to the manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Lamps's performance today was as close to a DLP as it gets. Ramires was a little subdued in the first half, but Lamps made up for it. The defence had a shocker (except for Terry) and Mata and Willian weren't exactly effective, but our midfield really turned the game I feel. It might not have exactly been a quaity oppositon, but I have seldom seen Lamps making so many successful tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not have exactly been a quaity oppositon, but I have seldom seen Lamps making so many successful tackles. He did well in the second half, he couldn't trap a bag of cement in the first and was tugging players' shirts repeatedly, that said he was one of our best performers today.Two things though, he needs to quit his long high balls, they are just not effective (yes, I know it worked last week with Ba), and he needs to allow the better players take free kicks as he's just wasting them.But good display.

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 There are no long high balls that is what Stoke do ,try to understand the difference between a long high ball and a long pass . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
