Fernando 6,585 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 "Yes, I start him. But I don't think it's good for a player to be three weeks, or three matches, without starting a game. So I don't think he's in the best of his condition" ....... This is true but if he noticed that then why he never noticed that with other players like kdb, schurrle, ba and such that hardly got a chance to be in the best of conditions?

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 genuinely concerned about his CL record now, the other post was a joke but now I am worried for real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Should have been saved for a comeback against Burnley. Way off the pace tonight. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 To be honest I'm concerned about his record in big games. His UCL record for us is poor at best.imo Cavani and Ibra are both better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Weird but seems like one of those who needs to play every game to keep his rhythm intact. He shouldn't be this bad with just having had a couple weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Or maybe he just needs to be part of a more pro-active team who actually create chances for him?I'm not talking about chances and finishing. He couldn't get into the game at all today ... kept giving the ball away with awful heavy touches and miscontrols. The best thing I remember him doing is that long pass to Hazard with the outside of his right foot in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing I remember him doing is that long pass to Hazard with the outside of his right foot in the second half.He's being tightly marked by one player and there is always another one covering nearby. Close control has never been his forte and the tactics we play expose his deficiencies and highlight none of his actual quality. We essentially reduced one of the best strikers in the world to playing as a DM; we created nothing for him, left him isolated a lot and then complain about his lack of close control. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm sorry but if his link up and old up play will continue to be that awful, then he has no place in the UCL team. If he's not scoring he's completely useless 85% of the time, the other 15% are when he's having a good game overall. It still baffles me how inept he is at winning headers for someone that big. I will definitely start remy in the return leg at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll always get close attention, it's up to him to better himself so him and us can benefit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The scary thing is I can really see him getting frustrated by this state eventually and does something extremely stupid and get a sending off+ long ban. He is not like Torres, he is more like Suarez who will be doing stupid things when he is pushed to the limit of frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes some basic mistakes at times which is very frustrating but then again I'm sure he's equally frustrated playing in a team that completely abandons the attacking side of the game against every half-decent team they play against.
