it will be a good start. laziness is creeping in faster than lightening.
I think we have looked better collectively without Lukaku in the starting 11.

Hard to say. Mou has always preferred brawn over brain. And he's got his favorites.

I opt to see injury as the reason for Lukaku's recent omissions, not the thought (or hope) that Mou might be binning him. He might be back before you know it and Rashford n Martial will return to their reserved places on the bench. Alexis, Lingard and Luks are his favorite attackers.

When Matic got injured at the beginning of the season Perreira started a couple of games or so. Since Matic's return he's barely managed 30 mins on the pitch, not to talk of a starting berth.

You have a point, but we have since looked better without him in the 11.
Also, Pereira should be playing more, Mourinho has this tendency to over work certain players, he has done it with Lukaku and Matic, those guys need a break at some point.

We usually look better without Lukaku upfront because the other strikers are more mobile and as such allows others to play off of them by drawing defenders out of position.

You can't play possession football with Lukaku because he'll lose the ball in tight spaces due to his horrible first touch. Also he hardly wins aerial duels with defenders from GKs. In our last match Pogba was saddled with that responsibility and despite being shorter than Lukaku, he executed that duty well.

But despite all these, I don't think Mourinho is ready to bin the Belgian. He offers more defensively than other attackers and that seems to be the number one quality Mourinho looks for in all his players, strikers included.

Worldclass for Liverpool and A.c. Milan yes....but total rubbish players for cfc!

I am sure you will not find many cfc fans on NL claiming Torres and shev were World class players for cfc!


Case closed!
So we can say a player can be world class this year and the next year he's not, then if he picks up again he becomes world class again?

Being world class is about consistently giving top quality performances. A player who does not do that for 2-3 years straight has stopped being world class and one who does that can be called world class.

So a player can drift in and out of world class?

And is a players true value or output not a function of his team? This includes teammates and coach

I don't know what you mean by drifting in an out. I have told you my view on what i think is required of a player before he can be called world class.
A player's value depends TO AN EXTENT on his team but we can't use that argument loosely if not people will come out of the woodwork claiming that Hazard is as good as Messi but it is the team that is holding him back or claiming that Stanley Okoro is as good as Hazard cheesy.

Nobody is born world class and you don't inherit it like a royal title. You are world class by your performances on the pitch and if for a long stretch of 2,3, 4 years you don't give consistently world class or top quality performances then your status as a world class player is in doubt.

I conclude by asking you if you think Fernando Torres is a world class striker.

Since we've no world class players, I wonder how we expect jose to challenge pep that has world class players in attack and midfield with a defense worth 200mill. Some people are really confused.

"And is a players true value or output not a function of his team? This includes teammates and coach"


and this excuse is not applicable to Hazard, just WOW! Neymar has never played under anybody like Di Matteo, Guus Hiddink or Mourinho in his elite club footballing history ; Hazard has never played upfront a dominating midfield of Xavi and Iniesta, Hazard has never played with lethal Suarez and Messi.


When we state these facts, it's always an excuse but Pogba can be justified for playing in ManU, just WOW
