Sovieticus 743 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah starting line up featuring willian, luiz, witsel and ake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I realy liked him when i saw him play. Only thing i dont know, is if his vision is good enough to play next to Ramires and be our "controller" in central midfield.This^^How good is he at controlling the game? can he give long passes? is he even faster than mikel? how different is he to dembele or fellani or is he the same type of player as one of them? I'm not sure of his abilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very technical. He's composed on the ball and has a very good pass, not long range though.He's good at defending he doesn't lunge into tackles and prefers to defend on his feet. He's very strong even if he doesn't look like it.He's also good in the air although not as good as Fellaini he's not far from him.He could definitely be our controller in midfield but like i said no long range passing.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Not so sure about him and Ramires together. Just quickly checked Whoscored and Witsel has 0 goals and 0 assists this season.Of course he's a DM, so it's not really a big deal. But when you play him and Ramires together, that is one defensive pivot.I think one of the reasons Lampard has been playing so often is, when you compare him to our other players in the position, he's the one that clearly poses the biggest goal threat - scoring or assisting - (not to mention he's been doing pretty well defensively, and not just bombing forward recklessly as he did so often last season)Anyway, i can't help but feel someone with similar attributes to Luiz will thrive alongside Rambo. Good passing, good on set-pieces and also help out defensively. Still sad Moutinho went to Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good passing, good on set-pieces and also help out defensively. Still sad Moutinho went to Monaco.But even Lamps has to decide whether to score or defend. He is not so good at the latter, so we should balance this with the opponents threat in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastrobbie 26 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfPLxcF8ECoKind of an unlucky tackle it seems to me. He tackles the ball at the one player, while at the same time another player comes running into the tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toli 977 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Who was his partner in the pivot for zenith??Number 20?fayzulin was palying next to him. but fayzulin isnt really a DM, was also often playing as a winger or AMF. tymoschuk or zyrianov are mor used to play as a DM.

The guy was very good at long passes, spreading the play. But he did well for a place that is not his true position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastrobbie 26 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yesterday, he proved again why he is so highly rated. God, the kid is just amazing.It suprises me how he just never loses the ball, even when he is ends up in the most crappy situations.There was a reason why Real were interested in this lad before he went to Zenit.The minimum transfer fee of 40 million euro is kind of crazy, I believe he would already been out of Zenit otherwise.

For me this move should of already happened a year ago. Hope it transpires in january.
