Adnane 1,101 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Balanced? Like equally attacking-defensive wise? Since when is having three destructive players in midfield called "balanced"? All-defensive is what I see, let's not fool ourselves.Balanced midfield, Hiddink said it the other day, this team is way too offensive, and it's good, but in order for that to be effective we need players to help us retain the ball in midfied, it's ironic, but with Cesc on the pitch and the double pivot, we don't keep the ball enough, thus giving it away and exposing ourselves ( or having to sit back and protect our really, really slow and bad Back 4 ). And Ramires isn't a destructive player, as a Box to box in a three man midfield he could be really really good, that's his original position, Matic with more freedom wouldn't feel the need to cover for himself and Fabregas, so he we would press more, have more of the ball and thus more control of the game.

Milan 17,957 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Isn't this just typical from Remy? Diego is unavailable for the game, be it suspended or injured, and Remy has a knock. Damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Matić-Fabregas-Oscar is too offensive. But Matić-Ramires-Mikel is on the other side too defensive. Especially when you have Ivanović and Azpi as full-backs.Balanced I call Matić-Ramires-Fabregas, when on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If everyone mentioned is out, Id expect us to lineup somewhat like this. Maybe Mikel in for Kenedy and Ramires on the wing...

Changingman_2000 876 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If we lose today.......and other results go against us (Swansea, Norwich and Newcastle win), we'll start the New Year in the bottom three. Shuddering thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 If we aren't careful, today might just be the day we drop into the relegation zone.Swansea are away at Crystal Palace, Norwich host Aston Villa and Newcastle go to West Brom.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Is this a joke about Remy?Increasingly becoming Sturridge mk II. Remember when Torres & co were suspended/injured and Sturridge would pick up these odd knocks to keep him out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
