bluemanc said:Don't get me wrong because you have to be good to do it BUT the "chelski"way can be exposed bigtime by a team that puts pressure on both fullbacks,in our home game against them we did just that & the scoreline flattered them,but they will win the league.Chick Counterfly said:exactly, their players can really cover the ground, and do absolutely everything. No specialists as such. Just like Utd with tevez, rooney, ronaldo.
The problem we have is that Barry is not enough of anything on his own. and de jong, no matter how well he plays, limits the team. At the top teams, the modern 'defensive' midfielder is normally a playmaker, like Xavi, Pirlo. at the very least he has to have the technique to play the ball in any situation in either half of the pitch... just like Ballack and Lampard.
but the real problem is that we are playing innie-outie wingers, to do that effectively, you HAVE to have fullbacks who overlap and cross on their natural foot. Our guys just can't make the ground up (zab), or waste every single crossing opportunity (bridge).
The rags also did the same thing to a certain degree,2 wide men playing on their natural sides are far better than 2 playing the "outer/inner"system,
Bridge & Zab both tired the system fell apart & our manager just did no see that he could have put Ned & Micah on put Johnson & SWP on their right sides & drive on but it wont have entered his head & it never ever will.
He has a system & it worked to an extent in Italy so he will never change it.

Thanks, just watched it, cleared up the mistake over his contract.n_mcfc said:http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Video/Interviews/West-Ham-press-conference
Anyone seen this yet?
He seems so much more relaxed and determined in this for some reason. Maybe now he knows that he's staying, but he comes across as a really determined man!
Plus, his English has improved fantastically.
malg said:How many times do they have to show the goal! To be honest, all the pundits talk shite. They change their mind from week to week. Just because they've played the game doesn't give them the monopoly on opinions. Jesus, just think that in 2 years time Scholes, Neville etc, etc will be retired and then on here! Christ it's not good to think about....
