Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well of course he would mostly need a good pass. Good passes do come, perhaps not in the scale of Barcelona, but its there. I also think we need to use another formation to use these passes more. Playing Mata behind striker(s) is an absolute must according to me.Lukaku - Torres/Sturridge--------Mata--------Meireles-----Ramires----Essien/Romeu--I do think think that if we are not going to improve are creativity, we need do need a formation like that where we have two strikers on the field playing in a partnership. The problem is that you need them to co-operate with each other otherwise it does nothing. The only one that seem to have any capabilities was Anelka and Torres. Drogba simply forces the other to go wide and out of the game and Lukaku has always played as the lone striker so we don't know how well he will do in a partnership, and even then he may need a certain striker for it to work. On the other hand Sturridge seems to play best with a strike partner. As we saw at Bolton with Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We've gone from not being able to defend to save our lives, but scoring freely, to being solid at the back but not scoring to save out lives.Bloody typical!Hey it's a start. But please Bosingwa out. I want to kick at my TV everytime i see him play!David Luiz looks like he can do much better job on the RB then Bosingwa.

Although to be fair, Cole was just as poor as Bosingwa today. Really can't understand why Bertrand cant get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand Sturridge seems to play best with a strike partner. As we saw at Bolton with DaviesA strike partnership is a good idea, because our midfield distribution is generally poor..This is why I suggested a pairing of Drogba and Sturridge back in december. However if Essien can pass the ball like he did in the past 2 games, and can start games, then we could continue to rely on a 3 man midfield.A strike partnership is not just about co-operation however..one of the strikers should also be capable of moving wide or tracking back when needed. Drogba and Anelka used to do this beautifully in Carlo's old diamond formation and they were both good crossers of the ball....Torres has shown a capacity to work hard, and Sturridge can offer similar, so it should be worth trying in at least one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Should, but if he does and knows he can't get him right now, then theres nothing he can do?That's no excuse, there should be a playmaker to get, and he should spend what ever money is necessary to get that player.

magicrico 175 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We have never had a goalscorer since this season started, i'll keep repeating this every game. We will not win a thing. We have a right winger and about 2 CM scoring all our goals. Torres was woeful. Until we get someone who scores we will keep dropping points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I had to watch the game on mute because I was talking to Linda at the same time, but what I got out of watching it... Torres and Mata both had massive chances to win the game for us... but we didn't take them... I think we dropped 2 points out of the fact that we were unlucky with our chances, not because our tactics were wrong, or the fact that we didn't play well, because that's not true at all... I think we played really well... our passing looked fresh at times, and I really think Torres and Mata linked up really well.It was also good to see Lukaku getting a run out too, about time we saw him running down the flank and beating people for pace! I thought he did that really well today!Also, Malouda has to go! He was the only player out there I thought looked awful! It's so frustrating watching him... seriously!

Peace. 4,352 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 After a such performance, I wouldn't mind at all to be out of CL football next year if it does mean having players who give their hearts out and who play with passion (like Norwich's players did, for exemple).

We could do with a player like that for now even if there not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
