Now I'm probably going to get moaned at here but in the summer ( or in januar, for a pre-contract) I would personally go for Gary medal, Sami Khedira (injuries worry me) or Javi Martinez to partner Matic in games like we saw last night.

Having the three in midfeild really asserts our dominance and having matic and one of those, with Ramires or fabregas in that midfeild position will really improve us in my opinion. Me, like many other chelsea fans (and other fans or that matter) are not convinced that Mikel is good enough.

Yes I know his role an whatever, but ake offers more and I believe is better than him already.

Having the three in midfeild with oscar and hazard on the wings will give me de je vu of the 2004 team.

Another option of course, is to buy, POGBA ;-) or just simply promote ake and have van ginkel in team next year

Opinions?

I'm with you on this bud. Central midfield kick Mikel, try getting any one of those, I would chuck in pjanic aswell. I think our right wing needs reus or someone, schurrle and Willian really frustrate me so far this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey hey hey! We do not kick mikel, we thank him for his services and get some cash for him ;-)

Willian and Schurrle are very frustrating, but i'd keep one of them (ideally Willian) as a squad player, sell shurrle and salah, and bring in caudradro, rues, or simply give piazon, Traore or T.Hazard a go.

Really annoying about Willian though, has absolutely everything, but it seems all he does is the best imitation of Valencia ever, by knocking it to his right and powering it into the box, truly Irratating stuff.

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally I don't think Oscar is at his best out on the wing. Seems a massive waste. Whilst I like the idea of playing 4-3-3, we have too many wingers/AM for that to work. We'd have 5 players fighting for 2 spots. We'd then need to probably bring in at least 2 top quality CM/DMs if we sell Mikel as it'd leave us with Rami, Fab, Matic and Ake fighting for 3 spots. Not to mention the fact that 90% of our up and coming talent out on loan seem to be AM/Wingers which would likely mean none of them would get a chance in the team.
So whilst playing 4-3-3 would make us more solid, I doubt we'll switch to it. Certainly not as our main tactic. Perhaps in some of the more difficult away games it'll happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Schneiderlin could also be a very good addition. He's having a great season and is homegrown as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Schneider in yes please, Pogba never going to happen. I do agree we need someone there with Matic. Let ramires and Mike go. Promote Ake and we good to go. Really feel this is what we really need not another winger as has been mentioned on here. Let's see what happens though, right now I'm just happy with the teams performance.

Come on Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

I knew I was missing someone!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Gary Medal?!! You've got to be taking the P! And why play Oscar wide? We're not going to get Pogba - theere's only one midfielder we should be going for: Barkley. I believe Khedira is a done deal and he will be arriving on a free next summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - what is wrong with Medel? He has been highly underrated for years.}

Yes Gary medal costa, does he scare you mate? Just shut up and score goals ;-)

In all seriousness medal is actually good haha, and he's better than Mikel and half the midfielders in the prem.

Agree0 Disagree0

By the way ed001, did my post about beilsa not come through or was it just not accepted? If not it was just me saying how well marseille have done this year lol

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No idea - if you are asking about him as LFC manager, forget it.}

Loool were many on Liverpool page asking that then? Lol that page would be a nightmare for someone like you

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I didn't see it either mate, but I WISH Bielsa was Liverpool manager, I have been calling for him to take over since Rafael Benitez went. He is a mad genius of a coach. As for people asking about him, most people don't really understand just who he is and what he has done, so not many ask. At least not that I have seen.}

Touching back on an incident from yesterday's game. At one point, Costa's shirt was ripped while trying an overhead kick. Now is it just me who thinks that that is a clear indication that he was pulled down and that we should've got a penalty?
I'm really wondering as I was quite surprised that the commentator didn't even mention the possibility that it was a foul.
So, you guys think I'm right or is it just my bias? Feel free to tell me how it is (Eds please join in as well if you like).

I don't think it was a pen. As defenders always hold onto attackers shirt, and when Costa did his bicycle lovren was holding his shirt but not tugging him, and costas momentum ripped it,

Interesting topic actually

Agree0 Disagree0

And the flag offside from the defender passing the through ball.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think his shirt tore on landing. Possibly reading a little too much into it.

Agree0 Disagree0

I was wondering about this, I watched the game live but always enjoy watching it on match of the day as well. I did watch out for it and it was Moreno who was holding his shirt and as costa done the bicycle kick the momentum of him falling and Moreno holding his shirt made his shirt rip

Agree0 Disagree0

What do you mean Blueboy?

Agree0 Disagree0

So if moreno was holding his shirt was that not a penalty then?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I didn't have a great look at it. You're probably right that he didn't really pull Costa but that it was just him falling that made it rip. Was just a bit surprised that nobody really touched on it, as if there wasn't even the slightest possibility that it was a penalty. Especially since everyone made such a fuss about the Cahill incidents.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about the overhead kick but we should definitely have got a penalty for the Moreno handball first half which was edited out totally on MotD!

Agree0 Disagree0

Im with you mrs costa that was arm going forward to the ball .

Agree0 Disagree0
