I like the midfield. I think that Lemina is good as a box to box midfielder. Physical presence and good dribbling skills. Nanes, well, he's shit but he is the only one apart from Marchisio having a little idea about how the deep lying playmaker position works. I think we will do well.

If we consider than our starting midfield is Pjanic - Marchisio - Khedira, Pjanic playing as the attacking oriented midfielder, Marchisio the deep lying one and Khedira the box to box one, we need adequate replacements for Pjanic and Marchisio. Lemina and Sturaro are enough for covering the box...

Wtf Asamoah? Our midfield from our strongest point has become our weakest one. Asamoah, I like the guy, but he's not starting matetial anymore. Not sure he's even good enough for the bench now.

Evra and Licht, at their current age and state, should absolutely never start together in a system with 3 defenders. Let's also bring in Neto and Rugani just to be sure :lol:.

I was thinking of that today when seeing Matuidi trying to act like an left winger. How handy would have Ben Arfa been today in that left spot. The guy is a prick but he's a good player. They could have Di Maria attacking from the right and Ben Arfa from the left making their attack more...

Evra and Licht should start in a system with 3 central defenders only if we have an injury situation or we should urgently rotate some extremely tired player. When you have them playing, the good part is that you allow Khedira and Pjanic/Asa to go forward more, but the amount of technical...

To be fair to PSG, Ospina gave a fantastic performance today. And he's a keeper I consider average. But today he did several very good interceptions and organised his defence very well. Also, the system of PSG was quite weird. 4 CMs and Matuidi playing somewhere high in the left. The attack and...

How I would love to have bought Witsel now. Btw, what happened to Sturaro? Transfermarkt says he's not injured anymore.

Usually at least :cry:

Guys, guys, I think we are running circles here.. I agree with most of your points. Yes, Higuain is an awesome striker. Yes, he can score a ton of goals vs small teams. Yes, he has broken an ancient record. Lets say for argument's sake, yes his goal was quick and he was perfectly placed and no...

Yes sure. But also under minimal pressure vs a bad opponent. The defending, the opponent and the pressure was not good enough for labelling him world class or Trez like or the best in the world or for buying his shirt.

Fair enough it's a reference and not a comparison. But still, people got very excited and started talking about world class and Trez from such a game, which I think it's an overreaction. And yes Sass is a good and hardworking team, but their defensive effort yesterday was very bad in 2 of our 3...

I don't think I did. But well, I might be wrong. I just meant to say that yesterday's game didn't add anything to my already existing knowledge about Higgy. I knew he would score a lot against small teams. But I don't think it's right naming him the best in the world of comparing him to Treza...

But you still think I missed the point. Right?

Could you point out why do you think I missed the point instead of replying with badass one-liners please?

Firstly, please quote my posts next time if you want me to reply, else I don't get notifications and I'll reply only accidentally. Secondly, I know that Sassuolo is a good team, but the defensive work wasn't very good today. And they were lucky Consigli was in a good day. In the second goal, 3...

Let's chill down a bit guys. I love the guy. He was awesome today, but let's not exaggerate. It was only Sassuolo and the defending wasn't the best around. We all knew that the guy can score a ton of goals vs weaker teams. The question is, can he do it vs the bigger boys? Or he will choke again...

Pogba is so bad when he plays deep. He needs to be higher in the pitch and have people covering for him to show his ability. This should be so clear by now from his performances with Juventus and the national team. On the other hand, 4-2-3-1 seems to be Mourinho's favourite system. Why did he...

As I said in an other thread, I'd really like him here. Would make me feel so reassured. And I believe, with his characteristics, he would be a very good fit for our midfield (complete midfielder, technically sound, adds physicality, mature age and good experience, good injury history and seems...

I was between 7.5 and 8. Gave an 8. We made our attack awesome (not good, but awesome) and made the best defence in the world even more complete. But, our midfield is worrying. Slightly worse than last year. Essentially, we replaced Pogba with Pjanic (a downgrade, but not a very big one) and...
