The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Fair enough. You can't threaten referees and the mitigating circumstances probably brought it down from about 15 matches, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,022 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Romeu looked good last night, albeit against a shit side, so I'm not worried at all really about the suspension with the sides we have coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 With Terry nearing fitness it might give us another game or two seeing Luiz in midfield.I think at the moment he's the closest thing to a deep playmaker we have, he covers ground well and presses teams. He actually looked pretty disciplined aswell compared to how he can be at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Hardly a surprise to see Mikel being punished by the FA. FA = Fergie Association.Mikel will miss games against Sunderland [PL], Leeds United [Capital One Cup] and Aston Villa [PL]We should be able to cope without him in those games.

I don't think that the FA would decrease the suspension but rather the appeal would delay it till Jan when he's already gone to the AFCON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,567 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I don't know if you're trolling or whatever... But in fact I understand easily the critics toward Mikel then.That's a typical situation where he has no option than to pass to Cole or a central defender. And of course that's because the donkey Mikel can't pass the ball forward. HE HAS NO FUCKING PASSING OPTIONS here, is that so hard to notice ?That situation is just dreadful in terms of passiveness and lack of availability. Look at that mess, no one asks the ball, no one is positioned in an interval, that's a group of clueless hobos in the center of the field ... Hazard triggered his run after Mikel carried the ball on several yards.That's against Reading, we were kind of lucky only to have faced a Championship team... they were even leading 2-1 at one point and had several options to score on fast break that they wasted. Thankfully we had an easy calendar because some of our performances were just awful, like last season in CL where we still managed to concede 20+ chances per game and escaping from it for some reasonPositioning is a matter of playing application. The working RdM formula was about interchanging, quick link up... actually the attackers were rooted and waited the ball onto their feet!! This couldn't work, except to leave the defenders more isolated they were already.Benitez asks more protection on the channels to prevent 2vs1 (reason why Cole, Bosingwa and even Ivanovic suddently became sunday league defenders the recent seasons, some people really should cogitate before speaking).That gives more options to distribute and more ease to break and exploit space. As you can see here (that's my piece on the City game and the first touches of Benitez's instructions) the defence is narrow (white) because the yellow attackers offers more protecton to the channelsMikel did contribute to recover the ball, it came to Ramires who could play to Hazard way easier that it was the case with RobbieI regret even referring to that picture, because you still haven't address the two main points that I mentioned.You're saying the attackers need to be more dynamic, and shouldn't remain static upfront? Fair enough, that wasn't even my argument...You had said earlier that our most successful attacks came from our attackers dropping deep to collect the ball from Mikel..I'm saying that won't always work, and hasn't been working in the recent games..If the players interchanged positions, then the flow of the attack won't be disturbed...but that's not possible as Mikel can't venture forward, being the defensive mid. As a result one of Mata or Hazard drops deep, and this reduces options upfront. The other point was regarding his workrate when defending. You still haven't addressed Vidal's goal in the Juventus game..To me it looked as if he wasn't trying enough for that one, as well as for the equalizer in the previous clash with them..Of course you might have another explanation which I'll be happy to learn..

Reddish-Blue 2,595 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The good thing about Mikel getting a ban is that Romeu will be able to play 3 consecutive first team games in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
