timbros:This is just brain paining argument. Which part of Fernandes playing AM and Cesc playing DM do you not understand? I will not carry defensive liability in my DM position so I don't understand your obtuse comparison saying because I would accomodate Fernandes in AM, I should accomodate Cesc in a DM position of the pitch. Nonsense! Cesc was given many opportunities to play AM in order to remove his defensive liability from the pivot position but he failed as an AM, end of story OK, Cesc produced 19 assists mostly in the first half of 14/15 season and became a liability thereafter. The next season what did he produce as we battled relegation. The season after that, he was benched as we won the league, and the following season he dropped only 4 assists as we failed to make UCL. The next season he was benched and shipped to Monaco where he was fighting relegation and mid-table as a starter, and now back on bench where he belongs. That is the story of Cesc, so stop foolishly harking back to 6 years ago to make an obtuse comparison between an AM and a DM. Also this stat you picked is very off the mark. Being dribbled past is not the main stat that defines an escort. An escort does not even get to catch an opponent in order for an opponent to dribble them. An escort is always jogging 5 yards behind an opponent, never really confronting the opponent to be dribbled. Another frustrating and brain paining element of your post.

madrid5:4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, what he showed in all those 4-2-3-1 performances is he cannot be trusted with the ball in his own half, so you might as well extrapolate to how bad he would be in a 4-3-3 |
timbros:Producing at what killer end, when Cesc was playing in the double pivot and causing goals against us? You can't eat your cake and have it. Cesc never succeeded nor played significantly as an AM with us. Cesc that produced 2 goals and 4 assists in EPL in 2017/18 when finally given starting shirt and spent all season escorting. Fernandes will produce that in just 5 games. Fernandes ko, Cesc ni. Newsflash: Cesc has been back to bench duty the last 2 games since they afforded him a compassionate starting shirt against Nimes 3 weeks ago. Maybe he'll be back in the starting lineup when they face Nimes again. |
Some people have married and divorced 4 times in the same period |
timbros:He is producing at the killer end of the pitch which means he is worth the tactical consideration to play him as an AM |
madrid5:What of Southampton game where he dashed them goal with sloppy play |
BlueMann:That's very bad news |
madrid5:Well so far, he is not doing very well in a 3 man midfield. With his dangerous play in that position, the only place for him may be in the hole behind the striker. He cannot continue such dangerous play in CM long-term. I know you may say he played DM and CM at Leverkusen but this is not Bundesliga and he is no longer an academy player whose weaknesses can be overlooked. |
budaatum:Thanks |
People complained Barkley is loose in possession and gives away the ball in dangerous areas. Kai Havertz is twice as bad. He plays on the pitch with no thought of protecting the ball like he is playing monkey post. Compounded by the fact he is slow to close down opposition, jogging to the press nonchalantly when not in possession. Everything about his play is just wrong so far. I am still hopeful, but I don't see how he could change his style or personality overnight. All that jogging business and trying to do risky toros in midfield is not for me. He is becoming a big problem of Ozil proportions. People may argue he can only play in the hole behind the striker but that formation is becoming redundant in modern football. We cannot just lose tactical stability to accommodate a player who has shown nothing to make us sacrifice our tactical stability for him.

Timiofak:He is just an eediot. His lies won't even get past a 10 year olds level of common sense. |
wirinet:He's a financial illiterate. Soros black wednesday move is legendary. I have followed him on Financial blogs/news for a while but the way he keeps cropping up in right-wing Conspiracy theories the last few years, I said lemme check his personal and political profile only to find the man is a great humanist who has fought against Apartheid, Communism, Fascism and Authoritarianism with great gusto, much more than their right wing legends who are bedfellows with authoritarians. Soros is a bit loose with open immigration lobbying but you can't blame him as a citizen of the world, a Hungarian-Jew who grew up under Nazi regime as a child, then found his way to England at 17, and then became American citizen, his whole life is shaped by freedom of movement and he sees everyone in the world as humans. While this may not be practical in terms of countries controlling their borders, from a human standpoint, God will judge him well for that. |
basilico:Nazis were defeated in 1945 when Soros was 14/15 years old. So he was confiscating properties at 14? It's like your whole existence on this earth is to regurgitate baseless and disgusting lies. You should donate your brain to charity. It serves no purpose in your skull. Yes, he did short the Sterling in 1992 and made £1bln for it. He is a legend in Wall street because of it. It is called a Put Option and is a legitimate financial instrument. |
PrideofLincoln1:His experience as a Hungarian Jew under Nazi occupation taught him some humanist values and he backs it with his chest, even when it's his own people doing the oppressing

Spent my evening reading about George Soros and Steve Bannon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon It is fair to say that any black man who does not admire George Soros is a complete fool, and any black man who joins hands with the ideas espoused by Steve Bannon and Trump is the same. One is a highly intelligent humanist with a passion for people while the Steve Bannons (Shapiros, Milos, Papadopoulos) and most of Trump's friends on the far-right are grifters with unpalatable pasts

Zabiboy:lol. It's early days. Most of the top players are still catching up cos a lot of newbies struck lucky with just Son, Kane and Vardy. What's your past history in the game like? |
Zabiboy:Well the skill is in knowing that Villa have kept clean sheet in every away game this season bar one, and conceded in every home game bar one. If you knew this you wouldn't be lamenting about luck. Another lack of skill is keeping a £5m defender from Villa in your team this long when Konsa at £4.5m has more goal threat and the same £5m could have gotten you a way into Spurs and Chelsea defenders with more clean sheet and assist potential like James and Aurier |
iamoyindamola:We don't know nothing about Carling Cup over here. Have you made Playoffs since your promotion? You are like the Brighton of our league, making noise about what you did in lower league ![]() |
iamoyindamola:I already decided to throw away this gameweek with a 12 point hit. I feel remorse for 2 seasons ago when I beat you in GW 34 then threw the match against your rival in GW35 by taking hits to set my team up for the playoffs. That denied you your first ever playoff qualification. As someone who has made playoff every year for 9 years, bar one, made 5 finals and won 4, I figure this year is the year to show you some grace. With your paltry overall points, yet still top of the H2H league, if I throw you this 3 points now, you just might be able to sneak into playoffs for the first time in your managerial career. Don't fück up this lead please. I'll meet you in playoffs where it will be business as usual. ![]() |
Spanish Simeone is at it again. Well I'm not taking points hit to sell Gabriel this week. Next week he's gone |
Vardy go lead to some massive falls this week for who no get am cos everybody else underperformed |
sleekdot:Ozil who was made obsolete by other managers had his best career under Mourinho. Mata has not been able to adapt to several managers in the modern game. Silva was already a legend playing as a left winger in a 4-4-2 under Mancini before adapting to an AM and CM under Pellegrini before even meeting Pep. Let the other redundant players answer for their own lack of adaptability to the modern game, Silva has cleared his name in every position he played. His attacking output before Pep is better than his attacking output after meeting Pep so you have no point. |
swiz123:Nonsense. Fullbacks aren't in a principal position to organise defences, centrebacks do. |
Kepa is beyond useless. I've just seen the 2nd and 3rd goal. At this point, someone should do us a favour and put a bullet in his head. When you see Kepa alone in lineup, always expect calamity. When you see a combination of two or more of the below players, expect calamity Christensen Rudiger Alonso Emerson James Jorginho Somehow we managed to fit 3 calamities in the same line-up today. |
Werner! |
