Great game today and Ceballos did what i was hoping for and gave us a santi like performance. Honestly, this is where in my opinion, Ozil will flourish the most. Having two excellent ball retaining and distributing midfielders is something we have missed for a while. The key though is having a tough tackling and intelligent Defensive midfielder in their midst. Sadly Neither of Xhaka or Guen is there yet. If you ask me, there will be games were i would prefer to move David Luiz into a Dm role and play ceb and ozil in the middle. I dont expect anything from anfield to be honest but if Pepe Clicks with Laca and Auba and the midfiled can create for them, it's light out for defenders in the league.

Honestly i have never fancied this back three tactics. Arsenal were invincibles playing a standard 4-4-2 . The only difference was that we had exceptional players in that era that played some unbelievable football. Hopefully with Don Raul and the new restructuring of the team, we are beginning to put together a team of talented and hardworking players whom i beilive can play and master the 4-4-2 to perfection no matter the opposition. Its not the tactics that win you games but having the right players to carry out the game plan to perfection, They must also have the right attitude. Whether its back three or back four, if players can't do simple things like move the ball quickly, make sure they stop crosses and avoid long balls bouncing in the 18yard box, but above all maintaining a disciplined and compact system of keeping not more that 10 to 15 yards of each other when they are without the ball to make it hard for opponents to break through the defense, and wingers helping out the full back. Then i'm sorry we will still lose games regardless of the 3 or 4 at the back.

The space burnley had at times was worrying and if it were a better team we would have been punished. ANM is the weakest link in my opinion cos he makes unnecessary errors at key positions. Its okay to bomb forward and join the attack but primary responsibility as a full back is still to defend. Against better wingers , i dont think he will stand a chance which is why we need Hector asap. One person whom i beilive is the darkhorse is that team is martinelli. Just like Pepe, i love his football pace which is scary. Honestly that boy is something else and some may think pepe is quick but martineli is just as quick plus his technique is awesome. I hope he will get his time and can be called upon in crunch time.

One game at a time so its unto the next game COYG!

Emaprince:
Don't mind him.

donjazet:
When civil men discuss, decorum should usually be expected, there is no need to throw insults when exchanging opposing ideas.

However, you should not be surprised when the odd arrogant buffoon decides that his view is superior and pulls you in towards an inevitable slug or fight because he believes that the only way to keep up an image on a faceless forum is by e-fights.

Eruditor:
You are doing what he spoke about. Attacking me because what I support does not line up with yours.

I quoted that post because he was right in the sense that people can disagree without throwing insulting words around.

Eruditor:
Hmmm.

Wisdom.

sarri built the foundation of playing out from the back

airmark:


Sarri, the bricklayer.

airmark:
As if it was Sarri that laid passing from the back foundation for Lampard at Derby, last season. Yeye people.


Christensen-Zouma-Emerson weren't even Sarri's men last season at the back, i wonder the nonsense foundation they were talking about, when Lampard was doing same with Tomori and 33yr old Keogh last season.

airmark:
Kovacic is sealing his spot in that midfield. Two games and our midfield virtually won those battles in the middle, creating numerous chances upfront, unlike under Sarri that I was almost bored to death with thousands of passes and but few chances created.

Now opponents can't just man-mark Jorginho and the system collapses. Lampard's system is not built around only one player.

Tomori has a bright future.
