Hazard need to be the number 10 ala Messia. ok call me delusional or whatevs, but he only worth with a ball on his feet. His 1st touch, passing and movement is superb. Btw, i can see the glimpse of the old Mikel slowing down the tempo again.

anyway, chill. it's pre season.

IMO the no.10 position not getting much of the ball. Hazard didn't get much of the ball. And Marin disappeared after Malouda came on. I think that's where our problem lies. We can't make our way through to the no.10 from the back line, which usually ends up in a back pass which makes starting again more difficult. RDM should do something about the movement of the front six when attacking from back line.

Well this is what i think and i could be very wrong

This is the reason RvP want to move out..

For me, Kakuta was the most disappoiting.

Go watch the first half his movements off the ball. Wherever he stands, he's always waiting in safe positions for ball to feet only, never making any forward runs for teammates to pass to.
It's understandable if he's playing as no.10 position, but not for wingers.

On Marin transfer,

We are one classy scammer. 7m. 7m guys!

ahah.. 21 our Marko Marin! Looking forward for this guy!

hazard playing no 10 role match with psg....had a relatively quiet game....ayam dissapoint....some football watchers have tip marin to shine and even overtake hazard in the real season...

haha, yup 1 hell of the bargain.

Anyway 100mil euro for cavini. dun seem worth it at all. how about Robert Lewandowski?

Chelsea target André Schürrle look decent successor for Torres in future.
Lukaku and KDB might loan to bermen?

i thought lukaku loan to fulham. no?

still not conclude yet.
any bremen is just some rumor.

There was a clear lack of fluidity in our play vs PSG, especially in the first half. The introduction of marin and piazon made a lot of difference though. We looked somewhat out of ideas vs uncle lotti’s team compared to against seattle. Have to take into account the quality of players we were facing but I guess most of us expected better. Lukaku and kakuta had real off days and will have to do a lot better to impress Robbie. ‘Special mention’ to flomo who’s making a real case for us to just give him away for free and let his slot be taken by one of our young talents.

Marin even in pre-season is already looking like the best dribbler on the team and if hazard’s not careful he might just get upstaged. The latter still showcased his quality in the middle of course but I would prefer him much closer to goal, taking more shots and making a nuisance of himself further up the pitch. Piazon’s leveler was a delightful combination with ramires, and we should’ve won it in the end with that late flurry! Malouda with that shot straight at their keeper..sigh. I think in the next game we’ll begin to see what lineup RDM intends to go with for the season?

haha kakuta , KDB and lukaku all looked mediocre yesterday .
like everyone said , marin really shined , or mayb he is on the second half and not the first half ? i dunno psg players so i cant judge that .
but man , y no buy PASTORE lol , he's good .

and hazard yesterday was ... ordinary = = mayb psg knows how to contain him

small field maybe

ahhh speculations here n there, wait till they sign first .
so if oscar is comin , wat is his position ? hazard's ?
then we have hazard/mata/oscar for the CAM postion ?

he's CM.
something like lampard but not like lampard.
gotta say he can be box to box midfielder
iinm his scoring rate at brazil is like 1 goal: 3 match.

oscar is more to lampard current position. not too advance like mata/marin/hazard/KDB.

not sure yet bro. torres only got his first training today.(he's the last member to join..putting aside olympic players)

the lineup RDM intends to go with for the season..might be only against City..before that..maybe experiment and trying to mould chemistry..

This post has been edited by Ichighost: Jul 24 2012, 02:03 PM

i think this is the most likely lineup for upcoming season.

cech
iva Luiz JT ACole
mikel lampard
ramires hazard mata
torres.

hazard and mata can switch their position during the match.
marin might play for the first few matches since mata will only available after some time due to olympics commitment.
