It would be interesting to see the two CB Lampard will use

Chris was subbed off at half-time for allowing the Sheffield striker to have a free header.
Rudiger passed the ball to the opponent inside the 18-yard box.

Na for twitter I see this one

Incase you couldn't decode my message there, it is very simple; jorginho is a good player whose attributes doesn't work in every system. Some players are like that. If busquet comes to Chelsea he too would flop. There are different types of midfielders with unique skills who need other midfielders to complement them.

Jorginho has previously shown how pivotal he is in a possession based system.
He has always been known for his control of the midfield via passing just like other registas.
I am pointing out that he is not useless like you would want others to believe.

Jorginho is a systematic player, same with Bousquet. Pirlo and Alonso add other attribute to their CDM play, this is why they will remain world class regardless the tactics and system. In other words, Bousquet and Jorginho are carry-along kind of player. With quality players in Barca then we all think Bousquet was the best thing after sliced bread.

Again, you surprise me with your unintellectual perspective on jorginho, Barcelona and mancity are two teams that use registas in Sergio busquet and rodri. These two players are neither known for goals and assists, they are simply there to recycle possession. Guardiola has famously said he doesn't train his team to tackle, his team is obsessed with always possessing the ball and their ability with it which is what makes a regista highly important in this philosophy. rather

These registas are usually paired with high stamina players and highly creative players like kdb, rakitic, the Silva's etc for the creation of chances. The whole team is tasked on retrieving the ball immediately after dispossession unlike some systems that would rely on the DM for interceptions, tackling and other defensive abilities.

So you can see how you lie when you say you have to protect a regista with 2 DM's for protection. Barça and mancity don't. They have a philosophy that works perfectly for them.

Same pep that need a very high technical and quality player to excel. Pep will fail woefully with that squad Sarri used in Chelsea, Jorginho,Rodri, Bousquet or not.

Line up;


I don't subscribe to Ruben starting ahead of Mount tho.

Back to 4-2-3-1

What type of lineup be this

Just win abeg, I don’t even care how

I kinda do. Let Mount get rest ahead of the game against Man.U, and besides I'd like to see how RLC fares as a direct no.10

Last season, he played as an 8. Since the restart, he's been playing as an 8.

does it really matter, if I was Lampard as well I would try something else in that midfield combination.

I had a feeling he would bench Chris and try pairing Rudiger and Zouma together. Considering the way we consider crosses and set pieces.

Hopefully RLC and Kovacic would help with the defences work, box-box, runs and all.

Hmmm, if not na draw but I hope for a win

BlueMann:

isnt it a 4-3-3, or who is playing 10? RLC?

Ruben has more goals in him, provided he has regained some sharpness. With Jorginho in midfield, Kova is is his best partner as they understand each other more. That leaves you needing goals or assists from the third midfielder which is what gives Ruben the edge over Mount

Glad to see Tomori on bench. His pace will be needed against Manure

I smell an upset... Cantwell & Krul Masterclass loading

I'm here again tonight to support our darling bluuus

Welcome me guys

How are Wigan (who are in administration) leading Hull 7-0 at half-time?

It's like all their players are looking for buyers to come and rescue them from not having salaries paid.

Money answereth all things.

This same BS line about everybody being a "carry along" in Barça. At one point or another, Messi, Pedro, Sanchez, xavi, fabregas, Iniesta, pique, mascherano, Sergio etc have all been called "carry along" players or players enabled by the system.
The question continues to be; if all these players are carry along players, then who constitutes the system being played?

If you can call Sergio busquets who has been a crucial and main stay player for Barça for more than 14 years a "carry along" player, then who did the so called carrying along?

This lineup dey disgusting.

Rudiger and Zouma, Hmmm, well Tomori is on the bench today

I guess Lampard is just using the best possible XI out of what he has available

The sharpness is what I had doubts about in Ruben. I really hope he picks up pace do well to justify his inclusion in the starting line up.

Kova and Jog are besties; they do pretty well together.

Tomori would definitely come on for Rudiger later part of the game. We need his pace and sharpness.

If Ruben is back with his sharpness, he would be very handy in the opponents box.

People usually deride you as one of the least intelligent poster here.

We have to demand much more from Ruben.

Make he drop all these his fine boyism play ball abeg

Why did you edit my post. Both players are systematic type. You mentioning them with Alonso and Pirlo is insulting. Yes I said that because of how Sarri used him. Sarri and pep are in same school of thought when it comes to tactics.
