yuvala 2,167 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Good performance as usual.We really need to find him a worthy partner, a Pirlo, Gerrard, Alonso esque player. It's something that we're really missing IMO (along with a proper striker and an attacking LB). The Chels and Mufassir08 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_President 404 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Good performance as usual.We really need to find him a worthy partner, a Pirlo, Gerrard, Alonso esque player. It's something that we're really missing IMO (along with a proper striker and an attacking LB).Agree - said it in the Jan transfer thread that if we want to bridge the gap between being a good team and a great team not only do we need a striker but also a midfielder capable of setting the tempo/being composed on the ball. I love Rami and he is fantastic in certain situations and is a good player for the club, but to go to the next level we would need a Modric or similar type player next to Matic IMO.

drog.ba 239 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Those saying we need a Modric/Alonso type player (although there very different to each other), who is there we could actually sign of that type? Modric is pretty unique in being good at distributing the ball and carrying it forward from central midfied. I think Matic was signed as he was the best holding midfielder available. I think if we had say Pirlo alongside Matic it would create two much space between the holding players and front three. Ideally someone would teach Ramires to pass better and be more composed.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 And yet we let him go ,,,, someone should swing for thatI guess you don't believe people make mistakes?He was in a peroid of time we had a strong midfield conjunct, which didn't change due to the formation we had success with. It was either to gain Luiz or let him go on Loan and HOPE he will progressed to the level he has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 if not for gundogan's setback and back injury...he is best central deep lying midfielder to partner the beast in matic...anyway exciting transfer summer window coming up...vidal/koke or if possible pogba can work wonders along with matic in that pivot position...atleast by then Hazard and Oscar can fully concentrate on their offensive responsibilities...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 with him not playing, I'm not looking forward to CL games I know. Feel the same. But with the performance our back 4 are doing at the moment and with Luiz at DM I feel we should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 with him not playing, I'm not looking forward to CL games while not even close, the one thing that comforts me about UCL games is that Mourinho is very likely to use Luiz in the position, which already improves significantly any combination between Ramires, Lamps and Mikel.We'll still miss his impact, but I think to a lesser extend if Luiz is fit. iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOS 580 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I don't expect us to last much longer in CL so it won't matter... but a matic-luiz combination would've taken us at least to the semi final, even with the clowns we've now as strikers ... can't wait for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 10, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted March 10, 2014 I genuinely think that if we win the title, it is quite largely down to Matic. We just seem so much more "complete" with him in the team. The bloke is a fucking tank. The Mak, Eligius, kellzfresh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
