The Boogie

Anelkalouda

Well said Flashy, I've been wondering myself ever since we lost Robben & Duff!

5 to you sir!

Thanks Brummie, I do have my moments............There was a tuesday last year when i was seriously on form

Ramires would be a quality winger, them games where he was playing on the right in Sturridges absence he was quality

He's not realy a natural winger 1L1L!!

Good article addressing our main problem. I think I saw you raise one of our other major problems elsewhere, the need for a decent rightback.

Well said mate

yeh i said the other day on my Torres for Falcao article............

For me a new striker should be on the Chelsea 'to buy' list, but it should not be the top by any means. I believe pace, skill, creativity and a new Right back should be higher priorities. Yes I realise Drogba is going in the summer before some genius points that out to me, but my point is why spend big bucks on a striker if we haven't got the creativity to feed him.

Flashy - stop reading my mind!

What can i Say? Woof Woof

What I find weird about our decision to abandon pace and width is not only the fact that when we had it in our team we were the most successful and dominant, but also because it has been the main theme of United´s success throughout Fergie´s reign.

Why are we ignoring a tried and tested model for sucess?

See, I pay attention!

Biggish, thats what I miss most about the Robben & Duff days - the pace in the team made us exciting to watch!

Brummie.........

And it meant we always had the ability to change the game. Just look at how successful Jose was at substitutions when the game was not going to plan.

Obviously the manager deserves credit for this, but you can only do it if you have the tools on the bench.

That is why I always have some sympathy for Carlo when he was getting stick for his use of subs.

We need to find another Charlie Cooke!

Biggish,

i got fed up with the comparisons to Jose and Jose having a 'plan b'

Like you say it's easier if you have the resources to implement that plan.

If Jose did not have a 'plan b' with the bench he had to pick from, it would've been almost criminal.

I'd go as far as saying some of our regulars on the bench in Jose's time were as good as our regular starters today.

A beñch of Duff, Crespo, Tiago añd Eidur!

They would all start today!

Brummie, Charlie Cooke from your generation

Nevin from mine

Eidur would be our Modric under AVB

Flashy imagine Nevin & Cooke on opposite flanks!

Strange thing is Brummie, I was a Dixon fan as a kid.........Cos in most cases until you get to a certain age, you love the one who scores your team the most goals.

It wasn't until after he left for Everton that I truly appreciated Nevin.
