Matic is the best DM in England, no debates there.

If only we can snap up Strootman, and have a midfield pivot of Matic Strootman, then It's a phucking demolition football next season

hensben:
I prefer pogba over strootman, reason is that strootman n matic are left footers n play similar football unlike pogba who can play pivotal very well..oscar/poga to rotate. Sell mikel, salah n ramirez, sign reus, pogba, ake n van ginkel can cover for the midfield.

AirborneLacer:


Pogba's valuation is a hell of a figure, we don't need to spend that much on a player who's not even a top priority.

If we're to provide Matic with a partner, it has to be a decent deep-lying midfielder who comes at a cheap price.

Having two deep-lying midfielders wouldn't just ensure we concede less but would also allow Cesc to move upfield and orchestrate play.

An expensive box-to-box midfielder like Pogba isn't what we need.

Isn't this mouth-watering?

Courtois

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpilicueta

Strootman Matic

Reus Fabregas Hazard

Costa

AirborneLacer:
Referee Neil Swarbrick wasn't too impressive tonite.

Bardsley shouldn't have finished the game, not after that nasty lunge on Hazard and pulling of Costa's shirt to deny him a clear run at goal.

We look every inch like the Champs of England. Everyone worked for this victory.

This was the first of the four games in the EPL's festive period. It feels great to start up on a positive note. And most importantly, to maintain our 3points lead on the log.

Abeg who's the next victim?

Oluwa o. . Who jinxed Costa/?

Why does Willian get so much games and bore us with his pathetic performances? He needs to taste the bench for some time abeg.

I always wonder how a pivot of this Matic and Prime Michael Essien would be. . . . . If we could find a player in the mould of Michael Essien in his prime, we'd be invincible. Pogba is really close to that, but I'm watching him a lot recently and I think the defensive side of his game is a bit overrated. He makes a few tackles here and there tho. Maybe Jose can make him a proper pivot player. I'm not really bothered about the price tag, I'm sure if Chelsea wants him, we can get him for a lot less than the quoted £70m, plus top teams spend a lot of achieve world Domination, ala Real Madrid last season.

I know some people will argue that a purchase like that will hinder youth integration into the first team, but I doubt. If we get a player in the mould of Michael Essien, with a proper blend of Brain, Sleek and Brawn, We can move Mikel and Ramires. That's leaves a slot, that will most likely be filled with a home grown player because our team is sorta short of Home grown quota once Terry retires. Any Good Academy player can take that spot. The most ready of Bamford, Loftus-Cheek, Baker and Chalobah can snap up that spot. Well, this na how I see things.

AirborneLacer:


Are we looking at Wilson Palacios here?

Pogba's defensive side of the game is on the average, you did observe well. I see him to be more of a box-to-box midfielder.

TBH there are few decent DMs out there. It got that bad, that Bayern had to go snap up an ageing Xabi Alonso.

Can we price Javi Martinez away from Pep?

He is another bloke who knows how the deep-lying midfield role works.

dawhizkid1:
And Willian is so underrated here, it hurts me. I know his decision making is not the best and his output could be better, but he brings so much to the team's stability. I don't know if you guys notice it too but Ivanovic has no been that solid this season, and Willian has been responsible for covering his A.ss every single game. Ivanovic moves way up the pitch and he doesn't have the energy to track back, Willian does that for him everytime. Sometimes, it feels like Willian is playing a defensive Right forward and Ivanovic is playing an offensive right full back position, for lack of better description.

The weakness in our right flank is exposed whenever Willian is absent or out of position. We conceded two detrimental goes from that weakness this season and each time Willian wasn't there to cover Ivanovic. The goal against City and the one against United.
