I said this before the season started but no one believed me. Always said our weak area was central defence and def midfield. You dont need someone like Drogba up front when the 3 midfield players behind him can run rings round defenders and grab 15 goals a season each. Striker should not be our main concern, Torres and Eto'o will do fine for this season. Luiz....sorry dont trust him, he is a Brazilian defender aka an attacker. JT is past it (still got something to offer mind, provided his partnered by someone younger and quicker), and Cahill just never cuts the mustard, gets skinned too often. Our best CB is Ivan, he should always play CB with Azpo on the right. And we need to sign a central defender in January. Im all for Lewandowski (sp?) but I wont be too upset if we dont get him Check my OP from this thread back in July http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/212553-Next-Seasons-expectations
You hit the nail on the head alright and not much has changed. I would love to see JM sort out a position for Luiz, cause he's just too damned good to let go.
glad I am not alone! Our squad definitely has quality to challenge for title and call me crazy, but with Jose's experience he should have put day light between us and the challenging pack (Moanu & City) by now!! Manny & David have excuses to be dire, but Jose doesn't and can't! Jose is making things hard for himself and ofcourse us.
