We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In the hypothetical situation that we're losing 1-0 in the 80th minute nothing's happening for us attacking wise but we need that equaliser why not bring him on for 10?

The Colombian winger is expected to travel to London this evening, earlier today he went to Fiorentina's training facility to say goodbye to his teammates and the coaching staff. He left the facility from a secondary exit to avoid journalists and fans, here are the pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNDS 502 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Too many people seem to be expecting him to arrive and nail down a spot in the starting 11 within a few games. I feel this is unlikely to happen, although I would of course be delighted if he IS able to settle in that quickly.I'm also not convinced that if he establishes himself in the team it will be at Willian's expense; I actually think that it could be Oscar who eventually loses out (at least against teams in the top 6-7 places of the league and against top-level CL opponents). After all, who is it out of Oscar and Willian that is dropped more regularly for the 'big games'? Oscar. Why is this so? Because of his lack of pace (no great insight ).As we have begun to see more and more frequently in recent weeks, the Matic-Fabregas pivot (for all it's many positive attributes) IS indeed vulnerable to teams that adopt a high-pressing, fast-paced, direct approach (e.g. Spurs and Liverpool). Whilst Oscar is excellent at a number of off-the-ball actions (e.g. pressing, blocking passing lanes, tackling etc.), and he DOES strike a pretty good balance with the Matic-Fabregas duo behing him, he lacks recovery speed; if our pressing fails, Oscar is often taken out of the game, leaving Fabregas out of position and Matic exposed. If we decide NOT to press, and instead drop deep looking for the counter, again Oscar's relative lack of pace doesn't quite fit the approach. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I think that we will be seeing the Hazard-Willian-Cuadrado (or Hazard-Cuadrado-Willian) line-up deployed far more regularly than quite a few of you seem to expect. I would anticipate that the Hazard-Oscar-Cuadrado line-up is to be used mainly in the games that we will be expecting to dominate in relatively comfortable fashion, with plenty of possession being held and plenty of chances being created; in these types of games Willian is the AM least suited to our approach (again, no great insight ).Of course, all that I have just written above could be entirely pointless speculation in it's purest (and longest) form, both because I'm not the manager and because there is no guarantee that Cuadrado will work out for us in the long-term. So yeah.... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesare 8 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 From Reus to Cuadrado. Sad but i guess we can forget about Reus now. Today Bayern just said they will not sign Reus, so basically there is one way for Reus remain at BVB or leave for Real bench. Mourinho must understand that we need a good shooting player, there are too many skillful players without good shooting in our squad ​ . I still have a hope that we will sign Pogba in the summer.
