Say What

Say What – Gameweek 37

This week’s Say What sees a number of managers already looking ahead to the following season. Jose Mourinho is searching for a nailed-on forward in order to rotate less up front, Brendan Rodgers is desperate to shore up his defence, Sam Allardyce and Arsene Wenger will be shopping for attacking options, whilst Mark Hughes is hoping to keep his on-loan wide man at the Britannia after a switch to 4-3-3 saw Stoke send Fulham tumbling into the Championship:

After his side threw away a three-goal advantage at Selhurst Park on Monday evening, Brendan Rodgers conceded he’s looking to strengthen in defence for the following campaign. Liverpool’s title bid looks to have all but ended after their capitulation at Palace – whilst credit is due for their 99 goals scored, the Reds have conceded 49 in return; the same number as West Ham and three more than Tony Pulis’ side:

“We gave away the full three points having played so well. But if you defend like that, you’re going to concede goals and that was the disappointment. We got the three goals and we could have had more, but it’s not good enough, the management of the game in those 12 minutes. And that’s something going forward that we will need to look at, because you can’t do it. That’s 99 goals we’ve scored this season, so to come here and be 3-0 up and concede three goals, as a coach, that’s what you have to look at. The players gave everything, as they do. But we just didn’t defend well enough. It’s an area that we know we need to be better at. We’ve improved a lot in many aspects of our game and that will be an area I’m sure we’ll look at – and nobody more so than myself.”
Brendan Rodgers is keen to address Liverpool’s porous defence.

 

Jose Mourinho is already looking ahead to next season after a weekend to forget at home to Norwich. Chelsea have taken just a single point from their last two home games after Sunday’s goalless draw and with not one of his current forwards reaching double figures this season, the Blues boss reckons his summer spending spree may allow a new forward to become another one of his new batch of “Untouchables”.

“In management the ones that you really mean by the untouchables, or the spine, are the ones where you know the stability is there. I think Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Azpilicueta were a spine and a strength during the whole season. With the strikers, I was trying to go from moment to moment, from quality to quality, and I think we were very successful in that. The other three positions are positions where it’s easy to change between Hazard, Schurrle, Salah, Oscar and Willian. If next season we have, for example, a number nine that we decide deserves to be the first choice, plus the stability that Matic can give by being always available, and with Ramires hopefully getting fewer bans – hopefully then we can have more stability.”
Jose Mourinho discusses his selection process this season.

 

Mark Hughes discussed his decision to bench Peter Crouch for last weekend’s win over Fulham. The Stoke boss opted for a tactical tweak and opted for fit-again Oussama Assaidi and Marko Arnautovic on the flanks, with Peter Odemwingie moved into the lone forward role in Crouch’s absence – the latter two bagged a goal and assist, whilst the on-loan Assaidi was also amongst the goals and is a player Hughes is desperate to retain:

“We finished the game against Spurs with Peter Odemwingie, Assaidi and Arnautovic as a three and I just wanted to see them from the start to see if they could affect the game as I thought they could. And because Peter Crouch could be unavailable for certain games next season I think we possibly surprised them with the front three and it was difficult for the lad Burn to go up against Ossie in the first half. There’s a hope we will be able to keep him here and a lot of that is down to the player himself. We are hopeful, but it’s out of our hands to an extent and dependent on what Liverpool value him at”.
Mark Hughes on his change of tactics last weekend and his future hopes for Oussama Assaidi.

 

Felix Magath explained the reason behind his withdrawal of Lewis Holtby with just 34 minutes on the clock at the Britannia. The 4-1 defeat means that, with one more game remaining, the Cottagers have shipped 83 goals – the highest tally since 2007-08 – whilst their record of 24 losses is the worst in the top-flight since 2009-10 – judging by their manager’s words, it’s even to see why:

“I think the player (Holtby) is very skilful but he doesn’t get any of the ball or fight – there was nothing for him today…There was no fighting spirit there. I think they felt too much pressure – we cannot run, we cannot pass, we cannot play and we have never been in the game.
Felix Magath seems to have little faith in Lewis Holtby or any of his current Fulham squad.

 

With a 2-0 win over Tottenham finally securing his side’s survival, Sam Allardyce was quick to acknowledge West Ham need to improve their attacking options next season. Andy Carroll has scored just twice in an injury-blighted campaign and with top scorer Kevin Nolan notching only seven times in 32 appearances, the Hammers boss is ready to scour the market:

‘We need to add a bit more flair, a bit more finishing power in the final third. You don’t want to go through next season with some of the phases like this season and that boils down to making a bigger and better squad. As good as the players have done since I have been here sometimes that hasn’t been good enough. My job is always to improve and you can’t stand still in this league.’
Big Sam is determined to boost the Hammers’ attacking options.

 

Arsene Wenger also has one eye on improving his offensive options. The Gunners have struggled to deal with injury stints for Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Aaron Ramsey this season and, whilst Olivier Giroud has finished the season strongly with three goals and an assist in his last four appearances, the Arsenal manager is looking to bolster his options – a concern, perhaps, for Giroud’s game time, after the forward started all but two of his side’s first 37 matches:

“To bring one more offensive player in, yes, who can play in different offensive positions. We have to see, because what you want is not to buy just to buy. It is one who can play with Giroud as well because (Mesut) Ozil was out, (Lukas) Podolski was out.
Arsene Wenger outlines his priorities for the summer shopping window.

 

United’s interim-manager Ryan Giggs shocked the Fantasy fraternity by making eight alterations to his starting line-up for last night’s win over Hull. Despite the absence of Wayne Rooney, the Welshman benched the likes of Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie and explained handed James Wilson the lone forward role, with Marouane Fellaini tucked in behind – Giggs discussed his team decision after the duo bagged two goals and a pair of assists respectively:

“I wasn’t happy with Saturday’s result [against Sunderland] and the performance. I wasn’t angry, I was just gutted after doing so well the week before. I just wanted to freshen things up a bit. The fans recognise young players and will give them a chance if they make a mistake and they took their chance. James (Wilson) didn’t surprise me. I wanted to play Marouane Fellaini up with him to add a bit of presence and take the pressure off him a little bit. It worked well, they linked up for the first goal and it was great to see James score the two goals.”
Ryan Giggs explains his reasons for “that” team selection last night .

    I don't think I've seen so many managers dismiss the final games and look to their Summer reorganization this early in the year.
    I suppose with all the Chumps League places sorted and Hull assured of a European place whatever the outcome of the Cup Final, more than half the league have nothing but place money left to fight for.

    A disappointing end to a disappointing season imo.

    Roll on the 20th of June and the fixture lists for next season.

    Team is currently for gw38:

    Manonne
    Dann Kosc Azpi (Smalling Chester)
    Yaya Mata Ramsey Eriksen (Noone)
    Suarez Sturridge Dzeko

    Which of the following changes should I make, all would be for -4?

    Chester to Baines - would play Baines over Dann
    Ramsey to Gerrard/Sterling
    Mata to Silva

          IMO yes. Baines could work out really well. But Dann could also get a CS and the -4 wouldn't be worth it.

    annoying think about aguero is maybe in hindsight we were foolish to captain him with his injury record. i'll be honest though, not once on friday did i even consider his injury record, the second rooney became a doubt it was switch VC aguero to C. was just pure tunnel vision to how well he does when on the pitch, and the prospect of him against villa

      We all knew he is high risk, high reward pick. High risk means he may not really feature at all. high rewrads is just that he played less than 30 minutes and still scored. Imagine if he had just played both matches full. It could have been bloody 6 goals or something.

You can ship in RVP and Kun and hope for the best. Obviously, the result was spare minutes and goal for each, but what other strategy even could have made me that ground?

          True. My decision was that if Kun can play, he can score, so he's my captain and YaYa is my vicecaptain. may have been a bad choice, but rationale is sound seen that I needed some big time points.

          The irony is that everybody else in my ML captained either Kun or Mata, so YaYa would have actually been the biggest differential. Had I been able to imagine that in before hand, I would have captained him.

          Have to play Feoooo methinks LK. Needs a direct player like him to support Ade. Was a tough choice between Mesut and Christian. Had to go Ozil for the class!

      Would be a good game as I think London edge the defence and Manchester edge the attack.

      Probably come down to who was manager. 😉

      Here are my selections

      London XI

      Lloris
      Ward Kosc JT Azpi
      Ramsey Matic
      Walcott Ozil Hazard
      Adebayor

      Manchester XI

      DDG
      Zab Komp Demi Clichy
      Yaya Fernandinho
      Silva Rooney RVP
      Agüero

      Think London XI is very well balanced perhaps lacking the firepower upfront. 2-1 to London.

      Would Wenger have to wear a tracksuit as an assistant to Mourinho? If so, I would no longer pay to see that match.

      Much as I miss him I don't think we can play Theo. Am I the only one intrigued by a 4-2-2-2 like City run out for the London squad? Would love to see some big strikers going up against the Manchester CBs.

    Just on and reading the above post from Applebonkers.

    Interesting point about hindsight. I think this DGW is a bit of an anomaly and highlights how a move can be wrong but not bad -- in hindsight and on the scoresheet, Aguero, Rooney, Mata were the wrong moves, but they were in no way bad moves going into the week -- you could get them for a hit that their previous returns surely indicated would be paid back, so you had to do it. Bad moves would have been far riskier ones that didn't pay off, like taking hits for a Hull fwd, or Janujaz, for example. Hard to justify those and anyone whinging about them would be destroyed on here.

    It's like poker, this week -- if you had Aguero Rooney Mata you definitely had a massive hand, KK or AA, but you had to watch as the cards went against you flop, turn, and probably tonight the river. Sometimes your opponent has a weak pair of Fellainis and then rivers trips to break you. I would always play a pair of Rooneys against a pair of Fellainis, though.

    What would be nice to avoid would be the stream of bad beats stories that is flooding the site this week, like when you're stuck at a sad sack poker table. We all got kicked in the balls, so hearing about how the boots of your kicker were harder than the boots of mine is hard to swallow if my balls still got kicked into my mouth.

      What made it easier to stomach was the fact that I got points out of Rooney (c) and Mata last week, lots of people are affected by it and I still scored reasonably well compared to others this week (61 with Yaya(c), Nasri and Mannone still to play).

        Nice score for this week -- I too benefited from gw36 for those guys, though I captained Ramsey instead.

        Here's hoping Nasri does us proud tonight, as he seems to be the last of the big differentials for the week.
