I'm sitting in a hotel in Rome its siesta time, but Im having a coffee instead. Thinking about the transfer fun and games, wonder who might pull on the shirt next game? Heres my tuppence worth Courtois Azpi. JT Papy Baba Zouma Matic Oscar Pedro Costa Hazard. Suspect I might get only 5 selections correct, but I'd frighten the shorts off some underperformers.
It'll no doubt be a predicable line up but wouldn't mind seeing something like Courtois Dave Terry Zouma Baba Oscar Matic Pedro Hazard Nathan Costa I think Oscar's work rate and better physical presence could work well alongside Matic as opposed to the Fabregas/Matic partnership which is struggling. If not Oscar maybe bring in RLC. The back 4 needs a shake up and Ivan needs taking out the firing line. Nathan looks hungry and lively as does Pedro. They should be on the wings and stick Hazard in a more central position. At the moment he is just being isolated and is struggling out wide. He needs to be more involved.
Nathan won't be playing. He's out on loan at Vitesse! Maybe you mean Kenedy? I'd go with Courtois Azpi - Zouma - JT - Rahman RLC - Matic Pedro - Hazard - Kenedy Falcao Falcao could get some momentum after his goal vs Palace. I feel RLC is actually the best suited member of the squad to play alongside Matic. Kenedy has looked lively so far the little he's played although it's probably a little harsh on Willian who I would say has been our best player so far. Defense should be more balanced with Azpi at RB and Ivan has been horrific so far! Whatever team it is though we are desperate for a win!
I agree with you all of your teams. But Jose will not agree with any of us. If he continues his self destruction from the last 4 games, he will be gone after the Liverpool trip.
I wish Fab, Ivan, JT all gate 3 match ban or something.. only hope for Jose to ignore them. Untouchables !! I also wish, I had Jose's email address. I can print and forward all these team combinations. Any one of these should get us 3 pts.
I'd personally go for this although i quite like Gazformidables team Courtois Dave Zouma JT Baba Willian Matic Pedro Fabregas Hazard Costa Think Everton have a lot of energy in the middle and Costa destroyed everton last season
No real reason, just thought Id pick a team to shake the bejessus out of some players. As Ive said before often enough to bore to snores, players like RLC should be starting 4 or 5 games a season and getting sub time of half an hour or so way more often as well. By seasons end, he'll( they'll) be ready to take their place in the full team.
Fabregas is ****e at the moment so we're better off with Oscar lying deeper. He works hard at both jobs.
As long as he's central and joining the attack he'll be a threat and drive defences back giving Pedro and Hazard more room, I don't get why Jose doesn't rate him.
who, Oscar? He's been injured since before the season began. We sold Mata so we could build the team around Oscar.
I think he's good but was just disagreeing with what you said about Jose not rating him. When he's fit he's a guaranteed starter. He could do with being more consistent mind you.
