Spike 12,049 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I can't see why people are so anal rententive about Meireles playing in the '10' role. Out of all the positions he has played, I feel most comfortable when he in there. Of course, there are a few others I would prefer in that position.EDIT: Turns out I was wrong about the formation...

James 5,324 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 What the Actual fuck Robbie...? No Marin and again with Ramires on the RW? You're playing 4-3-3 so why not just play him in midfield FFS?!Marin is carrying a knock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I actually really like him now, he earned my respect when he stuck that foot out on Xavi, even though he knew he couldn't get the ball. He had to stop Xavi on the counter, and he knew he would be carded. And if he gets carded he would miss out on the final, and the age he was he must knew he would hardly likely to play in the CL final again.So massive respect to him, huge commitment that is.He also provides us with the odd goals, some long rangers, like the Benfica one, what a finish that was even he could of played in Ramires I like players like him who are willing to give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It looks like the plan was to play Ramires in position in a 4-3-3, with Marin on the right/left perhaps with Hazard on the other side; but Marin's picked up a little knock so therefore things have changed slightly.I don't see why Ramires couldn't still play in the midfield 3 though, with Hazard on the right and perhaps Malouda(?) on the left.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 How bad is the Marin injury? Bad or just a one-gamer? Plus I hope we stick with 4-3-3 with Oscar replacing Meireles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What's with that whining ffs. Has Ramires been underperforming on that right wing or what? Because from what I remember he's hell of a player on that right side and as for Meireles the only time I remember you guys praising him was when he played behind Torres. You're not managers, nor players so stfu already and enjoy the performance.Btw. Kuszczak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 2,275 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You can never please some people on here, A while ago it was 'If Robbie wins us the Champions League he can do what he likes", Now when he leaves one player out or a certain player plays its "What the actual fuck Di Mateo". Give him, and the team a fucking break.No doubt if we don't win by 3 or more you'll all be bitching about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
