Liquidator 5,176 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 you beat me to it by 2 minutes Bluesmaster!I'm a bit surprised and dare say disappointed by the last paragraph:So would he forsake Chelsea to play alongside Iniesta in Barça's midfield? "Yes, probably," he says. "But not for a few years. First, I want to win promotion with Middlesbrough and then establish myself in Chelsea's first team."

"Yes, probably," he say... he's probably being brutally honest. Like we would forsake him for any barca mid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hopefully McEachran and Chalobah start in tonight's match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hopefully McEachran and Chalobah start in tonight's match.They did. Josh got 60 mins and Nathanial 84. Watford won 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sorry to say boys but Josh will never get to play for better teams. He will never reach the heights of Xavi, Iniesta, Lamps, Scholes..His level might be R. Meireles or similar.There is a kid Luke Shaw, watch him play, two years younger than Josh & is better. Josh is a talented but second rate player & he has been sent to second tier club. De Bruyne, Lukaku, Piazon are much better than Josh, I feel.Having said that I am concern how these players are going to fit at Chelsea though.This is the best crop of players the club has had, I feel.

De Bruyne and Lukaku are both more physically developed than Josh, whilst I'd question whether Piazon was much better than him. I think you're being massively unfair to him and really judging him much too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Josh was awful in that watford match i got told, but then again so was everyone, one of middlesbroughs worst games of the season.Infact it's the only time they have actually lost and been outplayed at the same time.

It´s just Josh does not have it in comparison to those mentioned, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Josh starts against Leicester in about 35mins. Should be live on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think he is playing right behind the striker today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I only watched the first 20 minutes, but seems a good representation of his game in that it bypassed him. It looked like when they attacked his positioning was like he was playing off McDonald but he just didn't see the ball. When he was younger I was for McEachran as an attacking midfielder but watching him in the past year of so, Ancelotti was right for playing him as a DM. He's much more suited to a regista role.It is also worth noting his general form for 'Boro has dropped in recent weeks.. I'm not sure whether last night was just a one off but if he's playing as a AM all the time this could contribute to that. Josh may also need a rest, he is like Mata in that he has poor stamina, Josh has started every game in the league for Middlesborough except when he's been injured, and in recent matches he has been taken off in every one around 50-70 minutes.I would really like to see him and KDB back next season as our two new midfielders, but he won't get that chance for the sake of it.

They are very big bottlers, 2nd to Cardiff in my opinion. Mceachran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
