nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oscar can play like a Deep Lying Playmaker anyway. He drops deep and basically goes to wherever the ball is.He might can, dont think we should play him there, for now at least. It will be even worse than with Modric... but i get what you mean, now we definitely dont need to think about a 'Deep Lying Playmaker'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 We don't need a playmaker.This whole thing would be a lot simpler if we played the ball high and bypassed the midfield entirely. So they would only be involved defensively, where I'm sure we can all agree they excel at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ramires needs to be given a try. He could be our answer.Heck, at this moment in time I'd say Essien-Ramires is certainly an option. From what I've seen Essien has had a far better pre-season than Mikel. Ramires can make those runs but will be more reserved than Lampard keeping in touch with his defensive duties. Lampard can score the pens and is an asset in scoring those goals, but with Oscar, Mata and Hazard we don't really need that as much. Lampard loves driving forward, a skill he that has inevitably eroded with age.We've always had a strong team that could help with the defensive work but we can't afford an aging Lampard the luxery to charge forward because the hole we leave would be far too great. I just doubt Lampard will acquiesce to these new defensive demands. Yet even if he does Mikel has been terrible lately but seems to get the nod ahead of the other guys. Even an Mikel-Essien option could be more what we need as a team since the defensive responsibility are crux of this matter. Damn I wish we could just buy Witsel and M'Villa! They're needed far more than any forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oscar won't be played in the double pivot, his technical qualities suit a role further up the pitch, we would be wasting him if he was played in a fixed role rather than playing behind Torres where he could drift about and come short/pull wide to receive the ball. I would like De Jong to sign for us, hes a good player and a midfield hard man which we could do with. Plus he kicked that beardy bastard Xavi Alonso in the chest, whats not to like?

RhonddaBlue88 14 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Why is everyone going on about a holding midfielder??? do we realy actualy need 1? ramires oscar and lamps can play in the centre and as long as someone drops back as oscar likes to do wel be fine ! mikel is useless and panics when hes on the ball and essien has passed it !!! time for a change! give josh his chance!

1chelsea 864 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 some of you ladies tend to love everything you see, de jong, alves, mvila...... If possible will want all the player chelsea can get and never want other team to get any. Be decisive, if you want all then you have none because it a compitition.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So funny how after one game Mikel is the poorest DM in the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahul Haque 57 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 mikel is first choice regardless of what everyone here says, and if mikel is off form. did people forget about romeu and essien? de jong would not add anything at all to what we have.

xPetrCechx 13,578 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mikel need to be more Focused... not to lose the ball so often, especially near To cech's area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky 301 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So funny how after one game Mikel is the poorest DM in the premiership.I've never said he was the worst in the league, but I do believe some people over rate his abilities. Tends to be people who don't watch him live. IMOI'd have liked Martinez but De Jong could be a viable choice given his contract situation (they won't sell to us). I don't see Ramirez in this role, he is no good with his back to goal (ie building from back), doesn't have the best positioning and isn't the biggest (actually think he is or could be a great full back / wing back.Anyways Romolu anyone? I liked what I saw last year, just needs more opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg 1,824 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 De Jong is far better than Mikel , its a fact, he'll help Lampard a lot , because Mikel is good two month , bad three months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 De Jong is far better than Mikel , its a fact Do you know what 'fact' means?!De Jong is a player that belongs to a different time. His play is just too rough to be fitting to for any current team. On any account, why would we pay good money for a player that will just sit on the bench? We've already got a good back up for Mikel in Romeu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahul Haque 57 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 mikel is by no means worse than de jong. he is far more composed on the ball. de jong is too aggresive. we have a youngster who is aggresive- romeu. i would like to see the team develop him into a starting cdm.

Kezza 1,965 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 but I do believe some people over rate his abilities. Tends to be people who don't watch him live. IMOPlease elaborate. If anything, people who watch him on tele in India would probably have a better understanding than people who watch him 'live'. Better camera angles, up close, far away. 'live' is one fixed position.Stupidist genralization I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oh please no. I hate him so much. Such a dirty player. Not even need to go back to that WC final. When he was at Hamburg he was tackeling anything that moved and most of the times unfair. A thousand times no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
