Barkley and we are already linked with Carroll?

I'll be blunt, Chelsea's board is sinking. The band is on deck and warming up "Nearer My God To Thee".

Ibime:
From what I saw yesterday, Utd team is split into 2 parts.

In the 4-2-3-1, the distance between the 4-2 and the 3-1 is too great, and there is no cohesion between those 2 halves of the team. It is everything I hate about 4-2-3-1, and we saw these chasms between attack and defence when Jose implemented this system at Chelsea. The team did not move as one unit.

It was basically get the ball to the front 4, they lose it, and then the back 6 are being counterattacked. And repeat cycle.

The whole team needs to move 10 yards further up the pitch to establish proper build-up between the back 6 and the front 4. Fullbacks should be allowed to join the attack, likewise the top 4 need to get involved in the build-up play. It is a feature of a Juan Mata midfield to see this big chasm of space between the 2 base midfielders and the AM. We had that at Chelsea for years. That's a tactical instability that comes with Juan Mata. He should be able to join the midfield 3 and involve himself in build-up play that will allow the rest of the team move 10 yards up the pitch. This is why I prefer 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1.

Mourinho has never mastered the 4-2-3-1 formation, and I don't see why he is insistent on playing it instead of the 4-3-3 that brought him the most success.

The 4-3-3 will do scummies a hell lot of good.

Matic as the anchor, will sit deep, collecting the ball from his CBs and launching attacks. Whilst Pogba and another B2B player will be involved in the running around, stretching the midfield horizontally and vertically to create options for the pass. They seem to be having hard times dictating the pace of the game of late.

JM has failed in his bid to play to the gallery. He ditched his old system so as to show how much of a flexible gaffer he is, but that seem to be backfiring.

Captprodigy:
The only time scummies witness their team play good football is during that Chivita happy hour advert.



100% or nothing!

Actually, that is only when they get creative.

Its easy to watch Bailey make an up-through pass to Rashford, who eventually buries the ball in an orange

Man yawnited!

When I told you all that you have got no identity, no style of play and no future, yo scummies felt I came trolling. Some lords in your midst who cherish fun had to rush to stats to prove crap.

Some scummies in your midst even had the chutzpah to assert that you northern red midgets are the second best team in England lol.

Keep the draw coming. African cuisines must be celebrated across England

pamcode:
Bacterial infection? Is that an euphemism for Gonorrhea?


lol just joking bro get well soon.

Lmao! Fvck you

chic2pimp:
Haaaa Ndo.....We don miss you for the oza thread sha.

Allow me to be a good christian for once.

4400!

They cant hold my d**k down!

Some Stoke fans are heading home already.

Oh lord!

Goooaaaaaaalllllllllllll

Drinkwater is here to play football, just not that thug from France.

Thanks fam. It feels great to be back. Thank you all.

Nihilist:
My guy i hope you're well....

Which levels na?

I have been sick man. Down with bacteria infection.

diggz:
We need one to send Raumdeuter away...

How are you? Hope you are better now?

Have been on Ceftrazone shots, there are even more to come.

Lately, I see needles in my dreams and yeah of course that midget asss loaded nurse.

Incredibly, the Morata-Azpilicueta axis is the most prolific assist-goalscorer partnership across Europe's top five leagues with the defender creating six goals for his compatriot.

It is one more than Edison Cavani-Neymar and Mauro Icardi-Ivan Perisic.

diggz:
I am not Igbo but I understand the language cuz I am from Delta state.

You are definitely correct when you say agbara means power in Yoruba dialect but it has a different meaning in Ibo language.


Maybe Griffon can help out....

Agbara = oracle. Do we now need one to see off Stoke?

Something light from the Championship outfit.

Sip it in peace scummies!

Nihilist:
He logged on this morning so hes either under a ban or deliberately laying low. Either way, our guy is fine. Probably cooped up with an olosho at the east side motel...

I have been Ill man.

eph12:
So which team is the second best team in the league?

Ain't ready for this back and forth. Check my previous rebuttals for your answer.

eph12:
When you wanted to answer the first one you didn't need stories o. Just this second one is causing confusion.

When it comes to goals scored and conceded nko? Or losing at home?

Shame even catch u sef

City are unarguably the best in the league, this is a fact which doesn't require indepth analysis.

A cursory glance at their match-day squad, their stats and how they have been playing this season explains why they're superior.

If you assert that Utd whose performances have been below average are the second best team in England this season, then you'll have to explain how. Squad value, general stats or playing style?

Being placed 2nd doesn't justify such claim. Many title winning sides weren't the best sides in the diverse competitions they partook. A good example of this is Chelsea's 2012 UCL winning side.

eph12:
You still haven't told us the second best team in the league as at today sir

After City, Utd come second. This isn't based on the quality of football played, rather how expensive both teams cost to assemble.

When it comes to quality of football played, you lot are in the good company of Stoke, Huddersfield and Burnley, no debates there.

Park-da-bus FC.

Netfilix:
If you really want to troll, try and bring your brain along na.

Griffon is derived from two English words 'Grief' meaning suffer, and 'On' meaning continuously, however this not the complete definition of Griffon since the name bearer is also kind of mentally derailed, Griffon is simply define as an unlucky butthole whose life is so worthless and is nothing but a Poo.

You don't exist.

sinizia:
He still wasn't shoehorned into the LB position, Ukaku is just an ALL-ACTION POWER-PACKED striker with boundless energy that can play at CF and drop deep to help our his team.

Hardly do we see CFs marauding the LB position.

What sort of power packed striker are we looking at here? Zeus?

eph12:
Which team is the best in the league as at today?

Definitely Pep's Manchester City.

Nihilist:
We never said he's a leftback.

He's a left strikeback, and box-to-box forward. That's all we said Bro.

Guy I don laugh tire for office today. This your new role for Lukaku need Wikipedia's attention.

Strikeback yana Box-to-box forward. Oh Jesus!

funlord:

Till jesus comes back you shekpites can never be viewed as a more attacking side than united. Regardless of our struggles against huddersfield and Brighton!


L

Last time we squared up against each other, I'm sure it was the boys in red who had more defs on the field of play, created less chances and were outplayed for the most period.

elrony:
And what makes you think the grieving one was talking about dental infections

Stop disgracing yourself already and go talk to a dentist.

Nihilist:
They don't call him the Left strikeback for nothing....though it looks like he occasionally spends some time at CB as well.

I've heard of sweeper-keeper. Sweeper-Striker however?

The man is the true definition of box to box

Don't you just know how to piss off your ex?

Lukaku is a dead man by now

dopeJemi:
Nah fam, if mourihno hadn't injected the philosophy of winning at all cost in y'all, Chelsea would be no where near the team they are today, you have got to give that to the man, y'all owe him that at least

We make it seem like Jose is all for the negative side of football, don't forget we were going Kung Fu on opponents last season and earlier this season, I won't put all the blame on Jose for our poor style of play, there are some basics things that Jose doesn't have to teach a footballer, our players seem to be playing with more of their legs than their brains lately

I give Jose credit for the winning mentality he instilled in us during his time at the bridge but that was just about it.

He failed in leaving a template for the club. We had no distinctive style of play and were dubbed 'boring', same tag you all seem to be walking around with

One can win without sacrificing good football. One can win without being a proponent of dark arts of football. This is what Jose needs to understand.

This is not to mention that we lost great talents like KDB, Mata etc because of Jose's approach.
