Aidan Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 1 minute ago, Palfy said: Could be he's made every squad bar the last two, and started five games, if he is off I'd rather a sale than a loan we've got far too many players out on loan, we need to start shifting a few to get some much needed capital back, if they all turned back up next season we wouldn't be able to afford the food bill. If it is the case then surly someone would be coming in? We can't go the rest of the season with Richy, DCL and Niasse up front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Silva dispelled that when he said he was tired of hearing we need a striker, and then made a reference to Richarlison and the fact we needed to strengthen other areas.

Yeah that's what I thought. He may think we might not need a striker in January which is understandable - but allowing one to leave isn'tt a good move.

Your right if one leaves it's a completely different outlook, but we are still in the phase of Marcel being tasked by Moshiri to trim the squad, in a trimmed squad of a figure I think I saw mentioned of about 28-30 is not 4 strikers one to many, I don't know but when you look at the 4 we haven't got one who's prolific or who you would be thinking someone is coming in for him, for a team that wants to go places I find that quite worrying when we had Lukaku like him or not you knew you were going to struggle to keep him because others wanted him. So in away I suppose I am saying we need a proven goal scorer in and Tosun and Niasse to go. Aidan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually counter-attacks are quick and decisive. I don't think giroud fits that, however, I'll be honest and say I don't watch him too much. In the World Cup he managed just fine on the counter attack with a load of rapid young lads around him. He won’t come here and Chelsea won’t sell him anyway.

Haiku Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I don't think Cenk had the chance to settle in. Keane was shit through the whole last season, but played week in week out. He's ok now. Cenk had a mixed half season and is frozen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofanon Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Im not sure why Cenk has dropped so far off the radar. Personally I like him. Im not sure where the obsession with pace has come from - we have lots of that elsewhere in the squad. Hes at least as fast as Harry Kane... He works hard, good finisher, offers an aerial threat, holds the ball up... He's been here 5 minutes and been messed around since day 1. Give him a chance! sacitunal, StevO and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate for Cenk as he has ability in him and will score goals wherever he goes - but that place wont be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had high hopes for him but this league is just step to high for him, we have imo a lot of Europe if not the world's better defenders playing in this league hence why so many strikers fail, and the unfortunate thing is we seem to buy them Niasse Sandro Tosun.

Haiku Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 He's talking about typical wingers, running down the flank looking for a cross. Richarlison and Walcott ain't like that, they're more like wide strikers or inside forwards as it's how are these players who run towards the goal from wide positions called.

Btay Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Our fullbacks put in the crosses though. Albeit only our left footed ones seems to get their head up and try and pick someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 He’s saying we play with 3 forwards ala Barca and PSG. We used to do that sometimes with Martinez (Lukaku left naisy middle Gerry right) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 We play 433 now, we did under Koeman too. If you ask Ronald or Marco they will tell you the same. The difference is what the players are told to do with and without the ball. The formation is still the same. But now we have bollocks like 4231 being talked about. It’s eothwr 451 or 433 depending on how the game is being played. At best you could argue we play 424. Moyes played 451, but tried to tell us it was 442 (Cahill as a striker) to sound more attacking from time to time. All makes no difference. The difference is what you ask of the players on the pitch, not to formation. Even now, Gana is a defensive midfielder. He tend to play a lot of the game infront of Gomes as we want him tackling higher up the field. He’s still a defensive midfielder, we just want someone winning the ball higher up.

Popular Post Aidan Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 He's struggled as of late, but his attitude is exactly why I like him. Can't see him getting back into the squad on a permanent basis, but at least he wants to fight for the shirt.

Aidan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The club really need to stop loaning and start selling. I know it is easier said than done but this is getting rediculouse now.
