Kojo 4,676 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 John Obi Mikel is not good enough.Too slow, too clumsy, just shit. I've been saying this for ages, i said this when he was playing well last season, Tiote is a thousand times better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Kakuta seems like he's trying too hard, which is really back firing on him. He tracks back though, which is always a positive. Obviously I'm not judging him over all, but from this he looks like a squad player at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If Kakuta stays on and Marin doesn't come on, I will slice my ball sack in half, cry tears into it, sew it up, and then tea-bag my cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 we are bit sloppy, off pace. Build up play is a joke, just no urgency. Hope Ramires and Marin will bring us an extra bit. Hazard wants to be number 10, but the only thing he does there is playing passes, everyone could play and trying shots or tricks that simply do not play off. Still don't know who told him he would be a playmaker, but the search goes on Tbh, Hazard and KDB were the only ones who really showed anyone. He is a great playmaker. But he is trying to play in Lukaku, who is having a bad game, and Kakuta who has done nothing. Hazard is the bit of light on a first half that was pretty bad... Hope he stays on in the second half.

diskoviolente 425 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I am used to some negativity on this messageboard but the way some people talk on here right now really takes the biscuit. It is not the Fucking Title Decider (FTD) we are watching but - again - our second pre-season game partly held for commercial reasons and partly for fitness reasons and trying out different options. Don´t make it to hard on yourselves and get to engaged about this, it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 John Obi Mikel is not good enough.Too slow, too clumsy, just shit. I've been saying this for ages, i said this when he was playing well last season, Tiote is a thousand times better than him.Mikel might be no KüchenXabi Alonso or Alex Song but he still is a decent holding midfielder. Tiote is just a light version of Essien at that age, who passes to opponents for fun and commits about 900 fouls a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santiago. 1,500 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Imagine if Lukaku was 34 years old and played like how he has in the first half.Many of you need to relax. Our youngsters are not good enough to join the first team but this is the perfect chance to prove their worth. Lukaku and Kakuta have been poor but cannot judge anything off this performance, its still early.Bit surprised really, the way were playing has been poor. The fuck have we been doing all summer? Luiz has been embarrassing, Cahill has been error-prone, Lukaku and Kakuta have been pathetic. Thank god its a pre-season friendly and we can get things together, learn from our errors, and make changes for the season ahead.Mikel, Hazard, and Hutchinson have been performing to set level considering its only preason.

Jype 6,398 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Marin, Cole and Ramires on after half-time for Kakuta, Ferreira and Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Kakuta is trying too hard, i've always known his potential but he knows he has to produce something great to be noticed with all the competition there is. PSG look fitter, stronger, quicker and technically just better. I think the build up is alright just don't look like really scoring. Could get better.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This is more or less what I expected. Half our players took no or little part of our last season, they need time to build chemistry. Not to mention PSG started their pre-season before we did and have played a match more than we have which is why we look off the pace compared to them.

Stevenx1313 17 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hazard, CBs, lampard, KBD are all looking good. Lukaku needs to work on his technical abilities. Hutch needs to relaxe and defend. Kakuta is ok for being only 21, cant see him lasting to long. Mikel is looking Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he stays on in the second half.dont know if "great" is the right word. He might be a decent playmaker but his major assets are his pace, his dribbling adn finishing ability. His passing is ok but he does not have the vision of Lampard or Mata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Lukaku CERTAINLY needs a loan spell. You just see in a game like this against proper opponents that he's out of his depth. Kakuta as well. Just not up to par.When Mikel gets the ball, the game just seems to freeze. Lamps was impressive, but we can't get any sustained possession in the midfield.We need to play with more width and get it out wide. They seemed a lot more vulnerable there than when we tried going through the middle. Lukaku just looked so uncoordinated when the ball came his way. Like his body's too big for him and he hasn't grown into it yet.A wide man like Hulk could really come in handy in times like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Try to relax people, it's just a friendly match with a lot of young players involved. Haven't we been crying for youth integration for years? Well, here it is. Do try to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm actually pretty impressed with what I'm seeing in Kakuta. He may not be contributing much offensively, but he's tracking back really nicely and making some runs trying to make something happen. I really appreciate that.
