Not long ago he was saying we don't need another CF because we had Michy and he can play as a striker and now hes complaining because he played as a striker v Barca after saying all that stuff in the run up to the game about wanting to shine v them? Ridiculous. Or False 9 position or striker or whatever his position was. I agree with him he was better on the wing but unfortunately Eden Hazard is not manager and quite frankly the game plan of him as a false 9/striker worked excellently although he was restricted in his involvement. Willian for example excelled and played arguably his best game for us. pHaRaOn, Supermonkey92 and LAM09 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willian for example excelled and played arguably his best game for us. I have to agree with Hazard here, I think many of that long balls could be hold up by Giroud or Morata and than played to Hazard&Willian bursting in counter attack  We could see many long balls going directly to their center backs because Hazard didn't even try to go to duel with Pique or Umtiti (and righlty so because he is not that type of player and he could risk an injury). Morata or Giroud should start at Nou Camp, to add something to our game, some strenght upfront and to have "route one" option out of the defence if they press high  OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard prefers playing in his actual position rather then playing out of position ? Well i'm shocked to my very core. Who would have thought ?  20 minutes ago, OneMoSalah said: Not long ago he was saying we don't need another CF because we had Michy and he can play as a striker and now hes complaining because he played as a striker v Barca after saying all that stuff in the run up to the game about wanting to shine v them?

Willian for example excelled and played arguably his best game for us. Pretty sure he was talking about using him as a striker as an emergency not when we've got 2 strikers on the bench. I hope we play with a striker at Nou Camp. 1-1 is a bad result for us. We need to score and in the false 9 sytem we didn't create any clear cut chances. Willian scored and hit the post twice from 3 long range strikes. Apart from that i can only remember the freekick from Alonso and two shots from Hazard (left foot shot and a volley). We need to score to go through and honestly i don't think we're gonna be able to keep a clean sheet at Nou Camp so we're  gonna have to score twice. I don't see us doing that with a false 9 system. The Skipper, Weckerz, Mufassir08 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,051 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I thought he was up to the task when he mentioned the club not needing another CF prior to Giroud/Michy business.  He's obviously stating the obvious but needs to make his mind up.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Really can’t see him being here for much longer. We would be very lucky to have him for 1 more season. I hope the board don’t replace him with another average player or two, we need a world class replacement Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays (and signs a contract) i think he'll stay he all his career. Next summer he'll be 28, i cant see teams still being interested in £150m+ player who can only give 2/3 prime years. IF he does go, i agree we need to replace with 2 to 3 top level players or top potential rather than 4 or 5 average £40m players as Spurs did after Bale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
