It's Quiet - a new dawn

[Dax777]

What I would like to see, two beast centrehalf and two ball playing centre halfs, Kompany shielding the back 3 with Stones adm Laporte carrying the ball out of defence. This also means we have a big threat from set pieces and powerful setplay defense. Silva and De Bruyne look forward to see incredible pace up top and in the channels. Jesus can drop into midfield and have awesome press with those front 4

Is this possible?

I think that's agreat side. I'd take out Kompany for Gundogan or Marcos Llorente.

If you do that then you have a team.

I mean two top quality players who can defend like defenders & attack like attacking mids or forwards.

That setup would likely get it's arse ripped out by Monaco or Real or even Liverpool or Spurs imo. Or at least would be in the position of needing 3 goals to win a game.

That's because you don't understand how it would work.

It's because I have seen John Stones play. But I'm sure when Lukaku or Falcao tore him a new arsehole 1v1, he was fine on the computer, which is all that matters.

Yes, coz the definition of every player can be boiled down to 2 acts. Fantastic reasoning there Mr. Simplistic.

Or the fact he couldn't get in Everton's team, Mr Logic.

If you do that then you have a team.

Or Pep maybe with Ronald Koeman in for Van Dijk.

Alright. Lets get the thread back on track.

we need to replace Yaya for certain....not like for like as that is pretty much impossible but we do need someone else....no idea who that player is though

The more and more i see KDB the more I'm sure he aint suited to what Pep wants from him int he position he is playing him in....maybe Pep has something else in mind for KDB and we will see a change in role for next year but something needs to change there.

We need another centre half....Kompany has shown in the last few weeks how much we have missed him but we need to be able to lose him again and not suffer so much cause of it....Id replace both Kolarov/Ottomendi with Bonnucci and Laporte (but maybe both is wishful thinking )

Clichy has been better in the last few games but we need a better left back and right back is obvious......Im hoping for Fabhno, Henrichs or someone like them

Those would be my priorities for the summer and then the icing on the cake would be Mbappe/Sanchez/both

I'm watching the clasico and in the light of our performance today it's just so apparent we are just miles away from the level of these teams, let alone Peps Barca or Mourinho's Real who were much better than these two incarnations.

The way they move the ball, the way they play out the speed of thought, the movement...we're two levels below in everything.

4 or 5 world class players are needed and the owners just have to give Pep what he needs, and us fans just have to accept it and appreciate he knows better than anyone what a great side looks like.

If he wants to get rid of everyone or anyone in the squad to make that happen then that's what needs to be done.

Was thinking the same thing. I think you peeped into my mind and did a copy and paste
