If you are going to play Eriksen, Chadli and sometimes Townsend then your CMs can't do much more than work their balls off to avoid the team being overrun.


Point taken but other teams seem to manage. Wilshere, for instance, is offensive in more ways than one.

Mason and Bentalib have had one full season of playing together and getting the confidence of being regular first teamers. Both are improving all the time.

This is a big season for both of them. They'd also look alot better if our attacking wide midfielders weren't so slow and all incapable of beating their man.

The transfer policy this summer looks good so far. I'd say we definitely need a decent and quick winger. Chadli and Lamela are both liabilities as niether offer any decent defensive support and neither can go past a player.

Chadli is good in the opposition penalty area and a decent goalscorer.

Lamela I have given up on and he should go back to Italy where he has more time and the game allows for his extra touch and slow tempo.

i'm still annoyed at Poch for falling out with Capoue. as manager, you're supposed to manage the club and its assets. falling out with and then isolating players is just not good enough.

selling him will prove to be a big mistake imo. Stambouli was never really wanted in the first place and doesn't suit Poch's beloved system. Capoue does, as Poch showed by playing him regularly at the start of the season.

if both go, we need a true DM in the squad. Schneiderlin, if he came, isn't it. Bentaleb isn't it. Dembele isn't it.

tbh, we need Wanyama more than we need Schneiderlin.

I disagree, as a DM Capoue was constantly caught out of position, if rumours are true and that himself along with Ade and Kaboul turned against the coach then Poch has every right to drop players who are not willing to work with him.
