    Stone me Lester are in front again. Drugs tests needed there. There's something in the oranges.

    He's not a DM. He can play there but it's not his natural role.

    Yes it is. DM is considered to be his main position. Every DM is considered to be able to also play CM in formations like 4-3-3, 4-1-4-1 or 3-5-2 other than big ball winner types. Clasie can certainly not play AMC and will not be played there.

    Poor from Tadic twice in quick succession. He has no confidence at the moment.

    No it isn't. Clasie is not a proper DM. Wanyama is. Clasie gets forward too much to be classed as a true DM.

    Yeah, he's a Harry Reed style hassling DM.

    Every single football site, stats site, fifa, football manager class DM as his main position. I don't need them to tell me that either. He's only played DM for us. There are different types of DM's. It's the position he's usually played throughout his career along with CM, that makes him a DM that can also play CM. You're basically saying he isn't a proper anything otherwise.

    Yeah, Reed's very likely to do any of this:

    How did that not go in?!

    Both Fonte (who at least kept it down) and Mane over the bar again!

    He's a CM. Simple as that. He loves to get forward as the video above shows.

    So, 6 good chances in 19 minutes (according to 5Live)... maybe they should train with smaller, shorter goals because it sounds as though they're only just missing.

    All players aren't the same. Different DM's have different strengths and weaknesses. What part of that can't you understand? You are basically disagreeing with all the football sites and stats site out there. Fifa and football manager. Apparently they know nothing about football! You're wrong.If you don't think he's been playing DM you're clueless. Not arguing further. You don't know what you're talking about. I have every football site, stats site etc backing me up. I don't need the back up either, I know for a fact Clasie's main position is DM. I'm watching the game now.

    He's been playing DM but he's not a true DM because he gets forward a lot. When he gets more confidence in the PL you will see this. And I don't give a flying **** what computer games think.
