I'm not confident that's going to work. No aeriel threat and if they close down the supply from midfield to Hazard, he's going to be invisible.
This is where a player like Fellaini would do wonders. He's versatile so in a default role he can play DM like he does for the NT and he can push forward in an attacking mid or even striker role and wreck havok. He's an aeriel threat or can play with skilled attacking mids like he does for club and sometimes country.
This is also a clear message to Torres that he's playing like utter **** and 80% of the time that's the case. I know he's a top class striker but he's lost his mojo and everyone is running out of patience with him.
A couple of changes here and there and this team could dominate, but there are some weak links in some positions and it's hindering any progression towards a better brand of football. For the style management and fans want to see, you need an airtight backline. That's not the case especially with Luiz. He's a walking, talking liability. Mikel can't play flowing attacking football. He'll always kill a play by looking to pass it back to the defense. He can't boss the midfield and be an architect. Ramires is full of energy, but lacks composure and is erratic. Then there is no one in the striker's position to finish off all the promising plays. Most plays end with either Torres or Sturridge because they **** balls in a lone strikers position.
Anyways, rant over. Hoping for a good game with a nice result, but with their form in Europe this season...I'm worried.
