Come to think of it, Busquet would be a really good fit in our 3-4-3

bykebyke:
Thank God Barcelona is not run by glory hunters who only care about trophies.

Rijkaard,Pep,Enrique didn't have any trophies won in their CV before they were appointed.

Stop judging coaches by trophies they have won.

Oh really??
I should judge him based the number of passes his team makes per minute?

We play 4 cups in EPL every year and he has won Zilch

Don't let me talk about his achievements in Europe

obiorathesubtle:



Whaaat??





What do you think about pochenttino? I like what he has done with Tottenham..

What exactly has he done??
Won nothing, achieved Nada..


I hope you guys appoint him sef

raumdeuter:
Zlatan scored 21 goals total in Barcelona, In the EPl this season he has scored 26 and season never end

Henrys best season he scored 19 goals in Barca, He used to score over 20 per season in EPL

These examples can easily be blown a
away.. ...I will leave Hensben to do it

I think it's all about confidence

Pep shattered that when he benched him for a newbie ...Now he is playing under pressure knowing he has something to prove

It wouldn't have been a problem if Jesus stayed fit, but he got injured and now Pep has to rely on a broken Aguero

PietroRico:
lol, see this Virgin boy too wan dey claim concordance

I have heard it in movies na

TapDance:



Moreover, You can write down as you speak as its a tonal sound, all you have to do is just place the "acute" and "grave" symbols on its vowels...So it makes it rather easy to learn, have you fvcked a Yoruba bìtch as she's Moaning? I have not but I have heard its an experience to die for.

M telling you......It's something else

Denis Suarez.

Rafinha does not even provide anything in the 3-4-3.

Suarez? ? Sometimes sef you dey say whatever you like

Ibime:
So why all the talk about Fabregas? Someone who is not even the solution now will not be the solution next season.

Matic is serviceable even in the heat of UCL next season, Fabregas is not.

Matic and Fabregas is like Thiago and Veron in 2004. Veron had no long term future but Thiago was very serviceable and still woulda been serviceable had Essien not replaced him.

Fabregas has no long term future in 3-4-3. I see no sense in encouraging him and his supporters. He will make few assists and have people supporting his extended stay meanwhile just setting you up to be carrying long term structural weakness. Look how long it took to get the structural weakness of Juan Mata out the door because of his supporters. If someone is going to create such problems for you tactically as a manager, it's better you freeze them out like Veron and Mata than allow them develop a groundswell of fan support.

You make a solid point but Matic must also leave. ...

What he brings to the table is unacceptable

Ibime:
For now the only one that is better is the one playing and getting you to 95 points for the season. End of.

Why carry HBP for a season that has 2 months to run and is already in the bag. There's something more to it.

The ghosts of 2 Years still lingers in our minds


We ignored our late dip in form because we were leading comfortably.. ..Maybe if we had bought decent players to compete with Iva, Cahill, Matic and Terry, we would have something to look forward to on Tuesdays


So yes we can't ignore Cahill, Matic and any other passenger once again so they can break our hearts again next season ....


You are right, there is something more to it

If Messi is the one dropping deep to create chances.. ..please what is INIESTA doing? ?

Cause this white faced ghost parasite has been doing zilch

Ibime:
Except it would only be worse in Europe for Fabregas. The PSG game where they went down to 10 men, even their depleted two man midfield were bullying him all over the park to the point he could not carry himself and his team across the halfway line. How quickly we forget. The tougher the game the more of a liability Fabregas becomes.

No team in history has ever been successful deploying Fabregas in a midfield two. The closest was Chelsea in 14/15 and as soon as teams sussed him out as a weak point halfway through the season, he was redeployed to AM and Zouma brought in. I don't plan for Chelsea to be a team that stacks their prospects on Fabregas being a mainstay in a midfield two. He has no track record of success in that position from 2004 till date.

If you think anyone here wants Fabregas as our CM next season them you have not been following
We know we can do better, but for now no one is better


That's the point we have been trying to make.. ..It's just like the Pedro vs Willian thing

MRTA7:
Manchester Derby has been rescheduled for April 27. A Thursday night.

Advantage United.. ..You guys are very much used to Thursday nights

Egbon DAYO.. ..How is Nabil Keita doing? Has he dropped yet?

airmark:
It's obvious lordfalcao is offline. Lacasera manager, will soon buzz us.

Oh my goodness

Klopp can't rely on Mane,Firmino and Coutinho

Coutinho for all his talents is very inconsistent, Firmino is better off on the wings


I don't like Pep at all because I be Mourinho's boy,but if he can tone down the attacking obsession just a bit, he will be a hit..
He has dominated every big game this season bar Spurs away, he needs to work on his defensive mindset the same thing Jose needs to do on his attacking game



We are lucky to have the man who seems to strike a balance.. ..He doesn't park bus and he is not obsessed with possession
Carlo is another one like that

My premier league team of the year

.............................Courtois. ............



...Walker(2)....Luiz (5).....Arsenal (6).....(Alonso)


.....Sanchez... ...Kante. ....Dembele. ......Hazard


.................Kane. ............Aguero... .....

Coach :Conte



As you all know, we played everyone in their favourite position

Playing 9 defensive players against Boro weeks after calling us a defensive team is the most Mourinho thing ever

Mourinho adopting the style of the ultra defensive Chelsea

LoRdCaT:
Conte's 3-4-3? so cunte patented the formation right?

Don't even try to argue.. ..don't

Elnino4ladies:
Matic

That question was for him because i know he prefers Ake and Chalobah to this Matic he is defending

lordfalcao:
To your first Qoute, Fabregas did not have a top notch career in barca. Bar the trophies he won which are collective efforts, he struggled terribly in dominating the midfield which Alex song did better in during there time in barca. This saw fabregas pushed to play most of his career games either as a false 9 or a winger. Am I right?

M weak

Ibime:
Sorry you argue nonsense.

1. The central midfielder in 3-4-3 main role is to keep it tight. Fabregas is asked to do what that role requires. Chelsea win anyway with or without what Fabregas brings in terms of creativity. Fabregas cannot walk into Gabi's position at Atletico Madrid and say he is bringing his own flavour to Gabi's role, nor can he walk into Wanyamas position and say he is bringing his own flavour. What those guys are doing in their roles is already successful for their respective clubs. Don't be like the mugu that will ask what Wanyama did in the game because they saw no assist from him (nor even tackles). That team is set up to win 1-0 or 2-0 with the 3 forwards and wingbacks providing the attacking impetus just like Chelsea. All Wanyamas job is to keep it solid.

2. Matic shields the ball effortlessly. In 30+ games, you can't show us when Matic failed to shield the ball like Fabregas at West Ham. Shielding the ball under pressure is part and parcel of Matic midfield play and he does it without mistake. I don't need to show you where Matic shield the ball, any YouTube compilation will do that. You need to show me where Matic failed to shield the ball. . . . duh.


Fabregas failed in that task against West Ham. After all the noise, he failed to take the spot from Matic. We are still here, Matic is still starting, and Chelsea is still winning like we have been doing all season with Matic playing. Go and drink Lordfalcaos otapiapia.

No need for long essays

In this 3-4-3 set up.. ...Matic,Ake or Chalobah? Your pick

Griffon:
Matic haven't been top class this season, we all have to admit that but he isn't bad either.

Kante's inclination to go for the ball and hack opposition players down, have seen Matic's overall contribution take a back step. His game is hanging somewhere in-between 'good' and 'bad', and you can't really blame him for that, someone is willing to do the work he [Matic] is known for, all he can do is to play second best. Kante arrival is a curse in disguise for him.

Instead of clamouring for Cesc to take his place, y'all should be clamouring for a new CM, one who has struck a good balance between being defensive and creative.

It's not just Fabregas.

What am I reading for goodness sake?

Why didn't Essien relax when Ballack arrived?
Messi should have stop scoring when Suarez and Neymar showed
We all saw drinkwater last season, he also played alongside Kante and he did his job. ...He wasn't between good and bad

Will FIFA complain if Matic starts winning tackles like Kante? This is the same Matic we saw last season

That excuse doesn't work at all

Ibime:
Stop talking absolute nonsense. The point is not about intelligence, the point is Fabregas is often unable to protect his ball unlike Matic. Fabregas is not a man you can trust with the ball with midfielders breathing on him, Matic is. I can show you several occasions where Fabregas was shaded off the ball leading to opposition goals and chances. This is why Bar
a could never trust him in Xavi role and found all manner of utility positions including false nine to keep him far away from his own goal.

Hotheads have been ranting, Matic does nothing, give Fabregas his shirt, until Fabregas was asked to do the job that Matic does, we started seeing the below.

We even had one mugu asking what a DM did yesterday in a match Chelsea conceded no shots on goal bar a bogus penalty. Tell that mugu his job is simply not to get bullied and dominated like Fabregas. Go and lick your wounds.

What the Bleep is this?
Fabregas was asked to do what Matic did?why should Fabregas be asked to do what Matic does, whatever that is.. ..Ronaldo should be asked to do whatever Matic does and let's see
Fabregas should bring his own play into our game ,why not ask Matic to do what Fabregas does and let's see

Don't even try to bring Barca into this. .Fabregas didn't play in the midfield often because of Xavi and Iniesta, every time any of them was absent Fabregas steps into the midfield effortlessly
You are reading too much into what you think, the same Barca you claim didn't use Fabregas as midfielder is using Rakitic, Suarez and Gomes in the midfield so don't try to tell us Barca tried to keep Fabregas away from his goal, Xavi kept him away from that position


If Matic's job is just to be forming a robot on Low Battery in the midfield, I reckon Zouma can do a better job. .....
A DM that is not playing out of defence, winning tackles, driving ball forward, intercepting or passing, is that one a DM?

By the way Matic doesn't shield Nada,don't just show us instances where Fabregas was dispossessed under pressure, I can bring out Xavi's error if i dig deep.....You even had to go back to the UCL game in 300BC to prove a point...So Fabregas gets dispossessed under pressure 2-3 times are season and he can't shield #Wehdone sir

Give us clips showing Matic shielding the ball under pressure

bykebyke:
I hear.

But at least the people of South America get sense.

They wanna make sure Messi retires with at least Two national team trophies.

It's the least they could do anyways.

No matter what they do.. ..The final choker will always show himself in the finals for Argentina

Ibime:
By 3 men, and he didn't let them go. He fouled them which is what you're supposed to do. Causing a free kick is not the same as causing a goal.

Fabregas meanwhile was given a pass that midfielders receive all the time and did in one match what Matic has not done this season. . . allowing a clear run through midfield on our goalkeeper like a hot knife though butter.

Go and lick your wounds.

If your point is for me to prove to you that Fabregas is more composed and intelligent with the ball than Matic.. ....
.Then let me start by proving to you that we are on Nairaland and your moniker is Ibime

Eruditor:
What is this Fabregas slander? Physically dominated against West Ham bawo? The match Costa kept losing the ball? The same one West Ham kept hoofing the ball past the midfield?

The bad pass to Fabregas is the one he should have controlled well or used his body to cause a systemic foul? A foul that would have warranted a second yellow (as he had gotten one first half for doing the same thing).

1 million likes! !!

Let's not forget Fabregas was also dispossessed against Burnley which lead to the free kick we conceded


Oh wait, that was Matic

Yes Spastic! I just bought a TV yesterday and I found football interesting.
