Again brummie I will have to strongly disagree with you, and it will be another west ham perfomance

and boom, I pay no mind to any of your posts in all honesty but will say that every manager has played him, best we have played though is when he was out the team and we won the double, and also look how long it took to try luiz at midfield. managers consistently get things wrong.

Perhaps you should take up football management then Nick - you seem to have all the answers!

I don't really see the fantastic work Luiz is doing in midfield except take embarrasing shots or giviing the ball away, I'd rather play Ramires in there.

mikel is trying, I did notice one or two forward passes he could have made but didn't, I guess he didn't want to give the ball away

I think Rafa doesn't set the team out to play flamboyant football but rather to find a way to penetrate the opposition either from the flanks using moses, hazard and oscar or long passes from luiz or through the middle with mata, he is just interested in winning for now, maybe later, if we retain him then Roman can demand some fancy play in return for the vast investment.

We have to play a heck of a lot better to get anything from Everton, If we perform like we did against Norwich we simply won't get anything from the game.
Passing, energy, tempo, pressing, ball retention, movement and finishing got to be bang on against Everton.

Intensity as well.

any away game where we get most of the posession & shots on goal, & win 1-0 is fine by me
