    Posts about the centre backs above, and I know this season it's a case if being lucky to have any fit

    But ideally , you'd have both CBs chipping in 5+ goals a season from set pieces and the like.

    Not many goals coming from Jones, Evans or Smalling ( yes I know he scored on Saturday)

    Vidic was great for that, or the likes of Bruce before him

    Apparently Rooney is out, according to SSN and Wilson is in.

    Happy for Wilson but wtf is going on with falcao situation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,690 ✭✭✭ElChe32


    De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Young, Herrera, Fellaini, Carrick, Mata, van Persie, Wilson.

    I'd expect 3, he'll be back for the Stephen's Day game.

    Probably easing him back in so they don't aggravate the injury.. He's probably be a banker to get injured with our record this season

    Why would RVP be captain ?

    Getting pissed off hearing this tbh ! If he's fit to be on the bench he should be starting.

    I'd be fairly happy with the present defenders, maybe just a RB but whats certainly needed imo is an absolute beast of a midfielder to protect the back four. Sometimes when the midfield is pourous it can unfairly expose the defenders.

    It wasn't too long ago that John Terry was sitting on the bench. Matic is stopping a lot of ball before it comes into Chelseas defence. Hopefully the focus will be on Stootman in Jan, a signing like that would certainly help out the defence

    I really don't know how you can say that. We have a lot of potential in the back 4 but none are world class or even close. Ideally we should have a new top class CB and RB by the end of next Summer to compete for the league/CL.

    Momentum will be coming to an abrupt halt tonight, I think.

    I just think our problems at the moment along with injuries is theres very little protection to the back four coming from midfield. A world class holding midfielder will go a long way to protecting the defenders.

    lol at the interview there.

    Reporter: "Louis, you have talked about the momentum from the win against Hull at the weekend. How important is that momentum?"

    LVG:"I have not said this. You have said this. We have to win our next two games before we can talk about momentum. We win against Stoke and Southampton, then we can talk about how we are in the momentum."

    I'm glad to hear him talking like this.

    Damn, I missed that. LVG is class with the interviews

    Well in Big Fel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Lads Felliani has proven me wrong big time. I take everything I said about him. Its just not because of the goal tonight. He's the best player on the pitch at the moment.

    I just got it so so so so so so so so so wrong about him. Im convinced LVG is getting the best out him too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    What did moyes do to Fellaini last year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,868 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    What did moyes do to Fellaini last year?
