Technical Area – Budget Midfield Options

March?

Que a load of comments about how Messi's never scored against Andorra or played for the biggest, brightest, bestest club in da whole of Engerland.

Downgrade him to a 4.5 and upgrade Mbemba, go 433. Or, swap him for March or Atsu if you prefer 343

Wenger will get the best out of him.

Lack of Success.

Yep, wasn't even happy we went for him at that price. Offers nothing outside the box

The more I'm impressed with him tbh. His off the ball movement and positioning is absolutely incredible but can understand why those less into football would find the whole thing a bit too subtle. He's not your archetypal pl striker

Give the guy a chance.

Yeh i feel the same tbh

No. I really like him. But Arsenal are going to have to accommodate him a bit more, and put ball into space, not to feet.

Sanchez doesn't share

You cannot be serious lol. His movement, drops into little pockets, fantastic touch, nimble and intelligent player, good finisher

Some very sensitive Gooners on here it seems.

He needs another year I think, but if and when it clicks, the floodgates could open.

180!

Don't know where the 2 slashes came from lol

*pours another

Fellaini to 4.5 mid

They now need to beat Sweden by 13 goals 😆

A non City owned Silva. How quaint.

ha, amazing

Hahaha, must be those guys playing weird "least points" mini leagues 😀

Only if Sanchez passes to him.

Better than Monreal

Playing in Portugal.

Not a team you want to play if you need a win the Swiss are good draw merchants.

An excuse to get out of international duty

Internationalbreakitis, bad case.

Laca went off fit and well. That will do me fine.

Groß Azpilicueta? 🙂

Do you have choupo? If not, A with Choupo

And who'll be your third striker?

yes if a nice wing-backed defence.

Yes

Yes

thanks guys, just a bit worried about pool fixtures

when I look at it, don't think my defence is tasty enough, think I'll keep tinkering for eriksen in the middle

Thinking about almost the same thing.. but will add richarlison to a 4 man midfield.. can still afford 2 premium defenders..
Dont like a 4 man defence, it usually means you will have to play a 5th mid some gameweeks (4.5) or have to spend little extra on a 5th defender for rotation

Ander

Herrera.

2-1, Salah brace, Kaku late consolation goal after Lovren boots the ball at Matip to play him in

Hopefully but didn't Mane limp off tonight?

Lol u think that defence gonna stop United from scoring?

If United can get a corner then they will likely score the way Liverpool are defending.

0-0. Mourinho masterclass.

Mane could be a non-starter.

I think Liverpool will win comfortably but recognise I'm on an a international/predominantly pro Man Utd website and expect to be shot down.

0-0 boring game.

0-3 Man Utd

3 tall players score goals from set pieces.

Full strength then pool win.

Decimated pool team as it could be then another walk in the park for Jose.

Probably 0-0 or 1-0 either way...

1-0 United. Martial goal.

1-1
Either a really early Utd goal then bus parked for a Liverpool onslaught or a really late Utd goal after a 'pool defensive error 😛

4-0 United

I think there will be goals in this game. liverpool dont know how to defend, and MNU still didnt played against team with attack thinking. 2-1 united - lukaku + rash + salah

I suspect it may do.

Luiz can play there as well

Yes.

Woah, just realized this. Cesc with those fixtures could be very essential.

Not sure about the Turkish part.

I'd be surprised if they played both, lot of animosity there. My Cypriot friend considers the Northern part (Turkish) to not be Cyprus at all

Cyprus doesn’t use Turkish anthem, that’s rubbish

good luck. I think I saw some earlier posts where you were pondering double Chelsea at the back. Sounds good.

Not needed imo, just checked out your team

If you do it will end 4-0. If you don't it will end 0-0.

Only if Kane and Davies rested

Waste of a fiver imo lol
