Namika 922 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 3 assists and 1 goal in 1 game and a half, excellent start of the season. Will be our key player against City imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We don't really play a traditional 4-3-3 with Cesc, Matic and Oscar, my point is with Ramires included we do and it seems way more balanced. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 For a skinny guy he is fit as hell, also never get injured(more like he will injure other players with dangerous tackles). He is a manager's dream, limited technically but hard work and quick, will run ALL MATCH and that is why he WILL start next week against Man City, because we need his energy over Oscar.

It was only when we played with all 4 in the second half against Swansea that we looked more secure. I'd still like to see us try Mikel-Matic-Cesc though.

In the Everton game Rami and Matic played in the pivot with Cesc as the nr 10 and in the second half of the swansea game we played a 4-3-3.

Cesc played mostly deep next to Ramires and Matic in a midfield 3 just as he did against Swansea second half. Either way there wasn't much difference between the two at all.

DH1988 1,348 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Too deep yet he's assisted 6 goals already.Ok.There's always something to moan about, isnt there?This forum is getting worse I swear.Yeah sometimes he's too deep then Jose changed the formation e.g. bringing on Ramires and then guess what? He gets the assists.Mong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So how do you explain the back 4 when we have the ball? Iva plays as a right winger when we have the ball....Just a modern fullback supporting the attack. And even that depends on the opposition and who is playing in front of him. If Schurrle is playing RW, then Iva goes forward less because Andre stays wide. That all changes according to the game.The point is, I don't like to make those small distinctions because formations aren't rigid in practice. Calling for us to "switch" to 4-3-3 is not that at all; you're calling for a personnel change, namely Ramires for Oscar. That doesn't change the formation because Oscar is already playing a central midfielder role, even if it does give the team something a bit different.

On any account, we currently have a very small a very very small sampling pool to judge from. And I also think that the mistakes in pressing in midfield have been individual rather than collective and both combinations of central midfielders have made mistakes. There is still time to work on the issues. No need to panic, just yet, imo. Barbara and bababoom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohitmohanihm 39 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think we needed a Flair player in the team to get the best out of Ramires . He was Beastly when we had Mata in the team and now we have Cesc He is starting to get Beastly again ...

jmarlow 458 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 i think Rami will be a key player for us this season, he will start all the big games as he offers us that engery and mobility in midfield and allows Fabregas that freedom to get further forward and into the box like we saw with Costa's second goal against swansea. Rami has started the season off very well, & 4-3-3 with the players we have suits him perfectly which is good to see. iseah100 and stroey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee25 1,044 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not at all blaming him for the goal, but his attempted challenge on Draxler was such a poor effort. Ultimately it was Cahill's defending that cost us but Ramires could have done better to put Draxler off. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it was Cahill's defending that cost us but Ramires could have done better to put Draxler off. Well it was either commit a foul and get a needless yellow card or acknowledge he couldn't tackle Draxler without fouling and not give away a stupid freekick. If it was a poor effort by Ramires to make a tackle that would have only resulted in a foul then was it a poor decision by Fabregas to hold onto the ball for so long?

If it was a poor effort by Ramires to make a tackle that would have only resulted in a foul then was it a poor decision by Fabregas to hold onto the ball for so long? what harm does a foul literally over the midfield line would have caused us? He should have been firmer... he was the first one to have a chance to stop their attack. I'm not blaming the goal on him, but he could have done a much better job... For someone that people praise for energy, stamina and what not, that was such a lazy attempt to stop Draxler... dee25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
