Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 13 hours ago, DYC. said: You can't upgrade your entire XI in one summer. You're lucky if you get two. Three at a stretch. If And if I could only pick two positions, I'd go for replacing Matic and Moses. For me it's CM>RWB>RW>CB>LWB in terms of importance. True but i think 3 would be reasonable since we've gotten a significant amount of money to spend. For me it would be CM>RWB/LWB>CB>RW. Looking at the players we'd want to replace Pedro for me is the least of our worries. 12 hours ago, DYC. said: I actually disagree. Moses has been far more disappointing for me. Sometimes he looks completely out of his depth. His decision-making just isn't good enough for me. And he's often left unmarked because of it. And his positional sense is off. At least you can count on Alonso doing the basics right. Great legs, good positioning and distributes the ball well. Players will outpace him from time to time but the left flank is never (too) exposed. And he's very helpful when it comes to defending set-pieces. Alonso is like Ferreira. If a true upgrade can be acquired, great. If not, no worries. Both are given lots of time and space on the ball. Alonso can't go past players as he just doesn't have the skill or pace to do it while Moses might go past players from time to time but then he struggles to play that final ball. For me both are an issue and both need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kaplan- 410 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Mourinho using 3-4-3 yet again. I don't know why, but it fucking irritates me. After talking all that shit about us being defensive, he's using our same formation against fucking Rostov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Please give us different tie almighty draw ball. I don't want RM-Barca or Atletico-RM, i can just watch them in la liga. RM - Bayern should be fun, Barca - Dormund is another one Juve - Atletico and Leciester - Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Cracking quarter final ties. Looking forward to Dortmund v Monaco the most. Two sides with brilliant young players going at it and there should be plenty of goals. And no way Atletico will make the same mistakes Sevilla did against Leicester. Atletico, Monaco, Bayern and Barcelona to go through to the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Anderlecht - United Ajax - Schalke Celta - Genk Lyon - Besiktas Funny how United always get the 2nd leg at home this season. Regarding UCL, I really really hope Leicester and Monaco go through, but I don't think both of them will make it. This might be Juve's year after all.

DYC. 7,542 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Last season it was Ousmane Dembélé, now it's Kylian Mbappé. Teenage superstars in the making popping up from French football like it's nothing. Both possess an amazing blend of skill and power. And they're both so direct and always want to make things happen in the final third. How I would love to see them sporting Chelsea colours in the very near future. (Not mentioning Martial because he never impressed as much at Monaco. His debut season at Man Utd was his most impressive personal campaign.) Monaco have to win the title now. Failing to win it after such a campaign would be so painful. Blue-in-me-Veins and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the level we need to be at. Competing against the best in the CL knockout phase. More depressing evidence of the urgent need for the club to make good player assessments and act on them quickly. When some of us were recommending Dybala as a transfer target two summers ago, the usual objections were raised here; not proved in the Premier League, not proved full stop, not sure he's good enough. Our club cannot afford to wait until footballers are established superstars. If we do that, clubs higher up the food chain will always take them, and we will always miss out. kc_blue, blues.bridge, DYC. and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Dani Alves is such an OG. I rate Lahm as much as anyone but Dani is my guy as the rightback of that generation. Love that guy. And his defensive prowess has always been very underrated by (too) many for me. Alex Sandro is top class. Technically, tactically, physically. The man has it all. Brazil being able to pick from Sandro, Luis and Marcelo is ridiculous. Dybala with a nice demonstration on the difference between good players and top players. Players like Costa, Lukaku, Kane would've taken two, three extra touches and might not even have released a shot. Because of the level of awareness Dybala possesses and his ability to think and act so quickly, he just needed two touches for his first goal and one for his second. He has his first big moment now and I hope many more will follow. Wonderful player Higuain has the quality but lacks the mental fortitude for a true world-class striker. Can't take the heat. Time and time again he's failed to decide big and/or high pressure ties. He looks heavy btw. Chiellini is a beast. For some reason he's never been very popular but he's been such a great defender for years and he's still going. Bonucci is a fantastic ball-player but he doesn't touch Chiellini defensively. Great win for Juve. Real team performance. Barca need to make some changes. Balance is completely off. MrExcalibur100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
