Thendo 1,088 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Doesn't strike me as a leader on the pitch TBH.I can see where your coming from, but I think its hard to judge him on that factor after just being with us for a couple of months. But imo he's one of the better candidates for it in a year or two. Hopefully he will step up when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great player. By far our best acquisition last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think next season we should try a system with two strikers, preferably Costa and Lukaku. The whole league seems to built around the 4-2-3-1 formation, or the 4-5-1, and maybe we could add more of a threat with both a Drogba-like player as Costa and the paceful/sharp finisher of someone like Lukaku (which i think is the kind of player he is, his dribbling skills isn't grand but his power and pace would surely add to that kind of role). We still use the idea of two wingers and a attacking midfeilder (or the '10' role) but it puts more pressure in the defensive midfielder role - and that, at the moment, is seemingly on the shoulders of Matic! I don't think so. Mourinho basically pioneered the original 4-3-3 with one striker in england and I think he's played like that in every club he's managed. The chance of us playing with two central strikers is very slim, I can't see Mourinho deviating from that. Though I would love to see us try it, preferably against smaller teams, it feels wasteful playing two deep midfielders against roll-overs.

So, .1% chance he uses 2 strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo7 3,496 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Matic should be considered for next captain or vice...No. I think after Terry/ Lampard it should go to Cech (if he is still here), then Cahil or Ivanovic. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I hope Costa satisfies our striker need the same way Matic has satisfied (half) of our midfield need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 No. I think after Terry/ Lampard it should go to Cech (if he is still here), then Cahil or Ivanovic.I don't think Cahill is captain material, id put Azpi before him, Gazza needs stability in defence to perform his best, which, for me, rules him out as next captain.

Jase 43,479 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 what about Pjanic next to him?Not the best in the pivot. Want to get the best out of him, play him as one of the 3 in midfield in a 4-3-3 or the No.10 in 4-2-3-1.Just signed a contract extension at Roma a couple of weeks ago and is happy to stay now that they're in the CL next season.True but signing a contract extension means nothing these days. Players can still just leave immediately after that and it has happened before of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I fully expect him to be most important part of midfield next season, regardless of who we sign. He looked amazing in first half year, now its time to move a step forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
