The Hiddink Thread

[LAM09 7,043]

Still unbeaten. He needs to field a side similar to the one after 70 min.

[zakhov 253]

Why does he field such a cautious side from the get go? Why do we need two DMs when we're in desperate need of 3 points. 
Feels like he's more concerned keeping the team unbeaten than going for the points.

[Milan 17,955]

On one hand we can be happy with not losing another one but ffs, this undefeated shit is getting on my nerves. Is Hiddink obsessed with that? Try to win the game from the minute one, not from going 1-0 own!

[Blue Armour 4,436]

What is the point of starting Matic and Mikel in the match when they both can't even do their intended job of marking Mata out of the game? The Spaniard had acres of space to operate in the whole game.

Cowardly lineup against a team that doesn't deserve so much respect when they're playing away from home.

Horrendous starting line up that produced when of the worst pieces of football I've ever seen in first 20 mintutes of 1st half. 

To be fair the changed the team approach when a goal was needed. The think I like this Hiddink side is the team never give up. Showed some intensity in final minutes.

Thought the line up could've been better. But to be honest I was never expecting him to repeat his achievements from his first time here. He had players with big strong mentality like Cech, Terry, Drogba, Essien, Cole and Ballack in the team. Now he has weak ass punks like Oscar. We've been much better result-wise but performance is at an all time low. Hopefully now that Hazard is getting into that full fitness and expected to start games, the team would improve in their attacking. Starting RLC as the B2B instead of Matic would also be a step in the right direction, but not sure if that will ever happen in a consistent basis.

Hope they can keep that spirit in the Champions league, because they're gonna need it.

Fuck with this not to lose approach. We dont lose, but for what? To draw every game? This way is preventing us to go down the table, but we also dont go up.

I would rather lose couple and win rest than this run of draws. 6 draws in 9 games. The fuck is this.

I know Hazard is not in form, but to bench him every time? Whole team is out of form ffs, just play Hazard so we can do something in attack. Matic is poor, drop him for RLC for couple games.

We slightly improved under Hiddink, he is good lad, but he is showing no balls to actualy try to get us higher on table by making some changes.

[MefiX19 1,092]

I just can't understand why the fuck he plays with such a shit team every time? We are fucking terrible in defneding so why we just go and score goals? Why we can't get rid of Oscar, Matic, Ivanovic and subs Pedro instead of Kenedy who is working his shit out when he plays instead of just runnign around the field with ball and doing nothing. Why is Hazard not starting? How the fuck RLC and Baba still not a starters? Just look at that United fullback with weird face, he plays and plays well and I'm 100% sure that Baba is even better. Why we play both Mikel and Matic in pivot and why the fuck we are sticking with that 4-2-3-1 formation? Just play 4-3-3 with fucking Mikel, Fab and RLC in the middle and go attack, just don't care about defending, let Azpi and Baba go all out attack and put tons of crosses in to the box where Diego and RLC will be already waiting to put that into the back o the net. Since my man Zouma is injured give a try for that Miazga guy instead of Cahill. 

Just list this side against Newcastle and i will be happy

4-3-3

                     Tibo

Azpi-Terry-Cahill/Miazga-Baba

       RLC-Mikel-Fabregas

      Willian-Costa-Hazard

Let Baba with Azpi go attack, press them, get that 70% ball possesion and win agaisnt those fuckers.

going to need more than spirit vs psg, with cahill playing.

[Parky 739]

I backed him when he came in as I believed he would play with a higher risk & reward approach bringing through our younger and fringe players and dropping old donkeys. But he keeps with the same formation and dud selections as Jose. Im just glad he's not going manage past this season.

 

[chelseafan26 293]

Absolutely pathetic. Pathetic team selection, tactics.

What the hell have we got to lose?

We wont get relegated, we are not getting top 4/top6. Atleast show some balls and put in a team that can play football and TRY to win a match.

No youngsters integrated, no attacking improvement. We might as well not have sacked Jose. Depressing stuff
