Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[mastermind84]

You've listed some of the best in the world and guys that can dribble.

Another example. Where is Welbeck more likely to score goals from? Out wide or middle?

Welbeck is not scoring anywhere on the pitch. He is not a goal scorer centrally or out wide.

Theo has shown he can score out wide.

Essentially next weekend we are trying to fit our three best central midfielders from the avaliable five.

Not just in terms of individual ability but who will best play together

My preference would be Xhaka, Elneny and Cazorla (who would be playing the Ozil role)

And assuming we sign no-one else (which is an assumption we should be very prepared to make) between now and Sunday


My line up would be Cech, Bellerin, Chambers, Koscielny, Gibbs, Xhaka, Elneny, Cazorla, Alexis, Ox and Walcott

I don't think Wenger has any choice but to risk Koscielny he's not actually injured, this short of match fitness thing won't wash....when Ramsey played on Sunday five weeks after playing against Belgium, and Koscielny will be playing five weeks after playing Portugal.

Wenger will put his love child Ramsey in there somehow. My bet is that he will replace Ox on the right.

The goals he has scored for us last season. Was it against Everton? That goal.

Put it this way, the front attacking three players, if the wide players beat their marker, they are more likely to find themselves in a crossing position or shooting from an angle with less of the goal to aim at.

Central striker, beat his marker he has a one on one with the keeper and the whole goal exposed. Get what I mean?

Wait, what the heck are we arguing about? If Theo can score from the wings what makes you think he can't score from the middle?

im not sure, lol

I thought all I said is that positions are not fixed. If you can score goals, you will from anywhere in the attacking 3rd.

OK let's knock this off.

[rodders]

Wenger continues with his Violin whilst the whole bloody lot goes up in flames, without a Fire engine in sight.

All I can say is thank god for the Olympics, have no interest in the PL the way things are going, as usual no real changes at the club despite glaringly obvious problems that have been there for years, LeClown is probably the most stubborn deluded individual we've ever come across and when he fails again (as he always done) it will come as no great surprise, but as usual he'll carry on with no repercussions.

No idea how people can still support this level of incompetence and stubborness, frankly don't really care what happens in the coming season, pretty sure he'll get schooled again by Mourinho though.

Tbh I'd much rather have Ramsey on the right than Ox given how poor the latter has been.

In fact, despite how much he wants to play centre I think Ramsey is more suited to the right side position as it makes use of his strengths, chiefly his late runs into the box and his goal scoring instincts. Either there or behind the striker like yesterday though the obvious problem with that position is that Ozil exists.

Seems to be a Stevie Gerrard situation all over again tbh.



Anyway what I think the team will be for Liverpool:

Cech

Bellerin
Chambers
Monreal
Gibbs

Xhaka
Santi
Ozil

Ramsey
Iwobi
Alexis

Ramsey is player that really in some way handicaps this team. I really hope someone comes for him next summer.

Him and this team is not a good match
